Development and validation of the Perceived Investment Value (PIV) scale

2013

This study aims to develop a complementary and more comprehensive measurement to assess the nature of investment value affecting consumers’ investment behavior. Recent research suggests that consumers may desire and obtain certain outcomes from investments that have not been anticipated in mainstream finance and economics literature. These benefits might be hedonistic or altruistic, self-expressive or emotional and experiential. Yet, while an increasing amount of attention has been paid to this topic, little effort has been made to develop an appropriate measurement scale for the subjective consumer perceptions of investments. To address this gap in the literature, this study introduces the…

Altruisme et modèle métaphorique

1993

This article addresses the relationship between economics and biology from the specific methodological perspective of concept transfers. To understand in what way biological theories may prove useful for the study of economic problems, we define, with reference to the work of some philosophers of science, a methodological tool which we call the "metaphorical model". This instrument is then used to elucidate some aspects of Becker's model on altruism as well as the reasons why his analysis has not been considered in the end to be fully convincing or relevant.

Endogenous growth and regional growth (Approaches to a theory of spatial endogenous growth)

1994

L'objectif de cet article est de poser les différents principes préalables à la construction d'une théorie spatiale de la croissance endogène. Dans cebut, plusieurs étapes sont présentées.1/ L'analyse des théories macroéconomiques de la croissance endogène permet de mettre en évidence le rôle clé des externalités d'agglomérations.2/ Mettre en parallèle, les mécanismes de croissance endogène et de croissance régionale permet d'identifier les composantes spatiales de lacroissance. A cet égard, le concept de capital spatial est défini.3/ Enfin, les principes fondamentaux attachés à la dynamique de population, à l'accumulation du capital spatial et à l'émergence des économiesd'agglomération son…

De la standardisation à la normalisation de la gestion médicalisée à l'hôpital : L’apport de la méthode de compensation structurelle et conjoncturelle

1996

Utilization of GHM in budget allocation leads to a reduction of strategic behaviors and restores equity between hospitals. However, heterogeneousness of GHM, with subgroups, is also generating perverse effects. The contractual economical analysis, applied to the statistical modelization of Quantin et al. (1995), underlines how the opportunist behaviors can be reduced. As the PMSI is almost unanimously adopted and considered as an irreversible investment, this approach generates questions on ways to improve the tool. The ultimate goal is to move from standardized costs tonormalized (optimized) costs for maximum efficiency of the tool. Finally, this statistical analysis generates a financial …

Linking employer branding orientation and firm performance: Testing a dual mediation route of recruitment efficiency and positive affective climate

2019

Faced with competitive labor markets, firms increasingly use employer branding to build a qualified workforce and engage their employees. However, our understanding of the impact of employer branding orientation on firm performance and the theoretical firm‐level mechanisms underlying this potential impact is very limited. To address this gap, we integrate brand marketing theory with human resource management (HRM) research to develop a model explicating how employer branding orientation is linked to firm performance through a dual route by enhancing both recruitment efficiency (i.e., external route: applicants) and positive affective climate (i.e., internal route: incumbent employees). The …

Explanations of success and failure in management learning : What can we learn from Nokia's rise and fall

2016

International audience; In this paper, we study the changing explanations of success and failure over the course of a firm's history. We build on a discursive approach that highlights the role of narrative attributions in making sense of corporate performance. Specifically, we analyze how the Nokia Corporation was framed first as a success and later as a failure and how these dimensions of performance were explained in various actors' narrative accounts. In both the success and failure accounts, our analysis revealed a striking black-and-white picture that resulted in the institutionalization of Nokia's metanarratives of success and failure. Our findings also reveal a number of discursive a…

Neighbourhoods and the formation of towns : the role of information externalities

1997

The objective of this paper is to explain the role of information and of the progress made in information treatment and its transmission in the way that urban space evolves, and particularly its center-periphery structure. Information plays a more and more important role in production and innovation processes. Despite the very rapid progress in long distance information exchange possibilities, men and economic activities still demand proximity, in the form of direct, face-to-face contact. Today, the need for information exchange is one of the main sources of production agglomeration. What kind of information does it concern ? What sort of economic activities require proximity and how is tha…
