USING THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (EMS) TO CONTROL THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EMERGENCE OF GREEN STRATEGIES.
2009
To respond to the ecological challenges of the new century and their Environmental and Social Responsability, more and more companies adopt the Environmental Management System (EMS). The objective of this thesis is to analyze how this management system is used in French companies for implement their ''intended" green strategies and to explore the new green strategies. To answer this problematic, we mobilized two theoretical frameworks during this research: the New Institutionalism in Organizational Analysis (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983, 1991 and Hasselbladh Kallinikos, 2000) and Levers of control model (Simons, 1995). Then, our research methodology is composed of three phases succeeding: an e…
L'EVALUATION DES PERFORMANCES ET LE DEGRE D'AUTONOMIE DES ACTEURS LOCAUX : LE CAS DES BANQUES DE RESEAU.
2009
The structure of the system to evaluate the performance in the banking sector is poorly studied in France. We don't have many information about Organizational Architecture of retail banks although manager argue that branches are important to generate regular revenues. The questions are numerous : how are branches managed ? are the decision rights equally assigned in branches among all the banking sector ? And what's about the specificity of mutual banks ? The aim of the study if to answer theses questions and try to elaborate a typology between mutual and commercial bank.
La sociedad multicultural. Democracia y derechos
1997
En este artículo, el autor parte de un hecho sustancial: las sociedades multiculturales constituyen un fenómeno característico de nuestro tiempo. Es decir, en las sociedades actuales conviven códigos e identidades culturales diversos como consecuencia de diferencias étnicas, lingüísticas, religiosas o nacionales. En Europa, este fenómeno responde a la fragmentación de sociedades altamente homogéneas, a la crisis de consensos internos y del modelo del Estado social, a los flujos migratorios, etcétera. Ciertamente, la complejidad de las sociedades multiculturales plantea desafíos a la democracia: ¿cómo conciliar la unidad política con la diversidad social? El autor analiza el debate generado …
Institutional perspectives in transition : research groups’ profiles and embeddedness in organisational and national context
2019
Research into differentiation and profiling of knowledge producing institutions through the lenses of institutional logics and field embeddedness have proliferated in recent years. By discussing this process in the context of research groups, as those basic units in which knowledge production epistemically and practically takes place, this article offers a contribution to the theoretical discussion on organisational differentiation. Based on a small-N comparative case study of research groups operating in different national and organisational contexts on a single, highly competitive and interdisciplinary applied sciences field, nanosciences, the article proposes research group profiles as h…
Building Situational Awareness of GDPR
2023
Because previous academic research does not comment sufficiently on how the relevant content of the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR has been properly communicated to the organisations, or how the situational awareness (SA) of GDPR has been built in the organisations, this qualitative empirical research was regarded as a valuable approach for gathering authentic research material on the practical bases of this phenomena. The aim of this empirical case study (CS) is to develop a picture of what processes organisations use to build SA of the GDPR requirements. To guide the CS, we asked how the SA for decision-making was constructed and how it was perceived in organ…
Lifestyle and Empowerment Techniques in Survivorship of Gynaecologic Oncology (LETSGO study): A study protocol for a multicentre longitudinal interve…
2021
IntroductionThe number of gynaecological cancer survivors is increasing and there is a need for a more sustainable model of follow-up care. Today’s follow-up model is time-consuming and patients have reported unmet needs regarding information about their cancer and strategies for managing the consequences of treatment. The main aim of this study is to assess health-related empowerment—in terms of patient education, psychosocial support, and promotion of physical activity—in a new follow-up model by comparing it to standard follow-up in a quasi-randomised study involving intervention hospitals and control hospitals.Methods and analysisAt the intervention hospitals, patients will be stratifie…
Echelles et auto-organisation du système de transport collectif Brazzavillois
2010
International audience; When you arrive for the first time in Brazzaville, you are struck by the huge number of motorized vehicles related to public transport. Buses, minibuses, collectives cabs… all these vehicles seem to evolve in the most absolute anarchy without the slightest indication for the user. But, behind this visible disorder is hided a very well organized logic structured in a completely self-organized way. After the following voluntary liquidation of the "Society of urban transport of Brazzaville" in 1989 the private sector is now dominating the market related to transport of peoples. After an immersion within the environment of Brazzaville carriers, various strategies of move…
Relationship between management Control and Organizational learning: An exploratory Study
2019
International audience; Cet article traite la question de la relation du contrôle de gestion et de l’apprentissage organisationnel. La méthodologie de recherche mobilisée, basée sur une approche qualitative, est fondée sur une étude de cas de la filiale d’une multinationale industrielle. Les résultats obtenus ont d’abord montré l’exisitance d’une relation en double sens entre le contrôle de gestion et l’apprentissage organisationnel. En plus de sa mission traditionnelle de régulation, l’usage interactif du système de contrôle de gestion favorise le développement des configurations de l’apprentissage en double boucle qui permet de questionner la pertinence et la validité de la stratégie ains…
Ar(t)chitectes et management : histoires d’introduction d’outils de management chez les architectes
2015
International audience; Cet article aborde la question de la (ré)conciliation entre « l’essence artistique » et la pérennité économique et sociale des agences d’architecture. Ces dernières vivent une crise identitaire et une crise de positionnement managérial liées à des contraintes économiques, sociales, environnementales et normatives, auxquelles elles n’avaient pas été préparées. L’objectif est de mieux comprendre ce phénomène à partir d’une analyse de la situation socio-organisationnelle, managériale et économique initiale d’un groupe de six agences, et leur situation après plusieurs mois de recherche-intervention. Nous proposons une analyse des modalités de l’articulation entre les act…
How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…
