L'articulation des usages diagnostique et interactif d'un seul et même système de contrôle de gestion : le cas d'un système d'indicateurs environneme…

2013

With the conceptual framework of control levers of Simons (1995), this article shows how to coordinate diagnostic and interactive uses of the same "management control system" (in this case a system of environmental indicators) for the deployment and the emergence of new strategies. In contrast to the literature, we propose an articulation "in parallel" of levers of control as alternative to sliding levers of control. These results are obtained from a case study in a French wine and spirits subject to large strategic environmental uncertainties.

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…

The Influence of Strategic and Organizational Factors as Concern the Relationship between Environmental Management Control and Organizational Learnin…

2020

This article examines the relationship between Environmental Management Control (EMC) and Organizational Learning (OL) by extending the theoretical model of Simons (1995) in a contingent perspective. Through strategic and organizational factors, this enriched model expounds the links between the Simons’s (1995) levers of control (diagnostic and interactive controls) and the Argyris and Schön’s (1978) levels of learning (simple loop learning and double loop learning). Based on the “revelatory case” of a missionary organization, eco-SME, this study highlights the influence of three contingency factors : strong core values, proactive strategy and activity life cycle in the four configurations …

Semiactive Control Methodologies for Suspension Control With Magnetorheological Dampers

2012

Authors version of an article published in the journal: IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TMECH.2011.2107331 Suspension systems are one of the most critical components of transportation vehicles. They are designed to provide comfort to the passengers to protect the chassis and the freight. Suspension systems are normally provided with dampers that mitigate these harmful and uncomfortable vibrations. In this paper, we explore two control methodologies (in time and frequency domain) used to design semiactive controllers for suspension systems that make use of magnetorheological dampers. These dampers are known because of th…
