Refining the preconditions of a social licence to operate (SLO) : reflections on citizens’ attitudes towards mining in two Finnish regions
2016
The debate around the social licence to operate (SLO) has been lively in recent years. In its elementary forms, the SLO is interpreted as the social acceptance granted by a community to mineral exploration and mining activities. Our theoretical assumption is that the SLO as a concept is both case-specific and more general, contingent, among other things, upon public opinion. In this study, acceptance is considered as general and anticipatory in the sense that it can act as a precondition for individual SLOs. Our intention is to contribute especially to recent novel research focusing on the more general background and factors contributing to the SLO. Using survey data (N = 1064), we explore …
Les coopérations de proximité dans l'Arc jurassien franco-suisse : Un enjeu de la cohésion sociale transfrontalière
2017
Un certain nombre de coopérations s’établissent plus ou moins spontanément de part et d’autre de la frontière franco-suisse dans l’Arc jurassien. En général de petite taille, visibles ou non aux échelles locales, elles présentent, selon nous, un grand intérêt dans le cadre de la mise en place d’un sentiment communautaire dans l’Arc jurassien. En effet, le devenir de cet espace transfrontalier doit s’ancrer dans le partage des valeurs des deux pays frontaliers afin d’endiguer les risques de repli identitaire. Dans sa stratégie de coopération transfrontalière 2016-2020, la Conférence Transjurassienne (CTJ) propose de promouvoir le sentiment d’une communauté de destin (CTJ, 2015), thématique é…
Les responsables de résidences très sociales : des professionnels tiraillés entre différents cadres d’appréhension de la réalité
2022
Cet article porte sur les responsables de résidences très sociales, entendons des responsables de structures locatives destinées à des individus et familles très modestes qui ne sont pas intégrés dans le logement social « traditionnel ». Le propos souligne les tensions relatives au métier en dégageant plus précisément divers formats et cadres d’appréhension de la réalité dans lesquels les agents de terrain ici concernés sont engagés d’une façon ou d’une autre. Ce faisant, il s’agit d’identifier diverses formes de contrôle (gestionnaire, discrétionnaire, sécuritaire...) qui ponctuent les journées de professionnels à la fois proches et éloignés aussi bien de « leurs » résidents que de leur in…

Social Determinants of Success: Social Media, Corporate Governance and Revenue
2019
This study examined how social media (Twitter and LinkedIn) relates to the operating revenue by investigating the effect of the use of social media by the board of directors. To tackle this question, we analyzed the mediating and moderating relationship of social media on the effect of board size in operating revenue (turnover). We studied the implications of the use of social media by the board members by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The data consisted of a random sample of 100 companies listed on the NASDAQ. The study makes two main contributions. First, it shows interesting differences in the use of social media for the operating revenue. Our results suggest that while Twitt…
Audit Institutions in the European Union: Public Service Promotion, Environmental Engagement and COVID Crisis Communication through Social Media
2020
This article analyses Social Media (SM) use as a promotion tool for public institutions in the public audit sector. The authors propose a quantitative model to assess online engagement of 94 European audit institutions (national and regional) with their stakeholders, based on SM and web activity metrics of these institutions, with a focus on pressing matters such as environment, sustainability and the current COVID pandemic. The proposed model may be applied to assess organisations from any public or private sector. The research finds that SM presence helps audit institutions to promote their services more effectively by directing their stakeholders to extensive content on the audit institu…

Network position and innovation capability in the regional innovation network

Innovation capability is widely seen to be the driving force in building regional competitive advantage, therefore investigating how the positioning of actors improves their innovation-related activities is relevant in terms of regional competitiveness. This paper builds on a survey conducted on the Sicilian regional area in Italy. A questionnaire was used to collect data concerning the relationships established between actors and the extent to which these relat…

2019
Autor artykułu postawił sobie za cel opisanie przebiegu konfliktu przestrzennego oraz analizę procesu partycypacji społecznej w kontekście planowanej budowy trasy średnicowej przebiegającej przez wyspę Pasiekę w Opolu.
