Advancing Design Science Research with Solution-based Probing

2019

We propose solution-based probing as an extension of action design research. The core idea is that researchers bring a prototype solution (probe) into one or more fields and explore to synthesize robust and generalizable design knowledge, along with knowledge of the phenomena and correlations we discover. We believe proposing solutions creates opportunities for researchers to innovate and to document the impact. In addition, solutions can be effective probes for advancing theory, in terms of design theories and in creating exploratory foundations for behavioral and causal theory. We illustrate solution-based probing with four exemplar studies in the areas governance of municipalities, polic…

A qualitative study of male and female perceptions in differences in the working and domestic sphere : a comparison of the French and Finnish cultures

2015

This thesis presents a comparison between two culturally different countries in terms of gender differences causing inequality in the working and domestic life. France, one of the pioneer countries in terms of fighting for women’s rights, but at the same time strongly paternalistic and chauvinist as a result of its Latin culture, is compared to Finland, considered as an example for gender equality. The research was conducted among private French and Finnish companies, where interviews were conducted of male and female employees holding different positions in the hierarchy. The thesis presents two articles. 1) The first one focuses on the reproduction of a social structure by the organizatio…

A Critical Review of Relations between Corporate Responsibility Research and Practice

2007

This essay identifies epistemological, theoretical and methodological problems in a potentially influential subset of the interdisciplinary corporate responsibility literature, that which appears in the management literature. The received conceptualization of stakeholder analysis is criticised by identifying six sets of factors conventionally considered as promoting social responsibilities in the firm: inter-organizational factors, economic competitors, institutional investors, end-consumers, government regulators and non-governmental organizations. Each is addressed on conceptual grounds, its empirical salience in terms of the latest relevant research and prospects to be a significant fact…

The Past, History, and Corporate Social Responsibility

2020

An emerging body of research recognizes the importance of the past and history for corporate social responsibility (CSR) scholarship and practice. However, the meanings that scholars and practitioners can ascribe to the past and history differ fundamentally, posing challenges to the integration of history and CSR thinking. This essay reviews diverse approaches and proposes a broad conceptualization of the relationship between the past, history, and CSR. We suggest historical CSR as an umbrella term that comprises three distinct theoretical perspectives. The “past-of-CSR” perspective is concerned with the history of CSR and business ethics as a set of concepts and practices. The “past-in-CSR…

Concilier finance et management. Un problème d'architecture organisationnelle

2009

This article has two objectives. On the one hand, it aims to explain the disturbances brought by finance to management as a problem of inconsistency or organizational architecture. On the other hand, it suggests some ways of reconciliation between finance and the other management functions. This reconciliation could be based on an evolution of the financial theory in order to be closer to the other management sciences, end on a subordination of financial performance objectives and indicators in the management of the firm

Rola i znaczenie norm regionalnych w systemie norm prawa międzynarodowego publicznego

2017

Współczesne prawo międzynarodowe składa się między innymi, z prawa powszechnie obowiązującego i prawa regionalnego. Historycznie, normy prawa regionalnego są wcześniejsze i często były podstawą dla norm powszechnych. W prawie międzynarodowym obowiązują zasady, które bezwzględnie dotyczą zarówno norm w wymiarze powszechnym, jak i w wymiarze regionalnym. W Karcie Narodów Zjednoczonych dostrzeżono rolę i znaczenie norm regionalnych, z jednoczesnym zaznaczeniem niesprzeczności tych norm z postanowieniami wynikającymiz Karty Narodów Zjednoczonych.
