A quoi bon former des médecins généralistes ? Un modèle d’apprentissage et un modèle professionnel sous tensions

2014

Cet article retrace les transformations intervenues dans la formation des medecins generalistes en France et interroge leurs effets en termes de construction d’une specialite medicale « medecine generale » comme de renouvellement de l’offre de soins. Il prend principalement appui sur une enquete ethnographique au long cours dans le milieu des enseignants de medecine generale et sur le suivi d’une cohorte d’anciens internes de la filiere. La premiere partie privilegie le point de vue de la construction de l’offre de formation specifique a la medecine generale, qui a justement fait de la pedagogie son fer de lance. La deuxieme partie interroge la reception qu’en ont les jeunes medecins, dans …

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…

Tensions on Finnish Constitutional Bilingualism in Neo-nationalist Times : Constructions of Swedish in Monolingual and Bilingual Contexts

2020

This chapter analyses the tensions on the status of Finnish constitutional bilingualism from the perspective of higher education, more precisely from the position of Swedish in one monolingually Swedish university (Åbo Akademi University [ÅAU]) and one bilingual university (University of Helsinki [UH]). It contributes to an understanding of the position of minority languages in universities in times when the use of English has increased on one hand and neo-nationalist tendencies stressing the importance of national language(s) are on the rise on the other. Apparently, the new bilingual programmes at UH challenge the tradition of institutional separation of national languages. At ÅAU, in tur…

Theory of storage implications in the European natural gas market

2023

The theory of storage stands that futures prices should be equal to the spot price plus the interest forgone in storing the commodity and the warehousing costs minus the convenience yield on the inventory. In this paper, we test several implications of the theory of storage on the pricing of United Kingdom natural gas futures. We obtain partial evidence for the theory of storage as a complete explanation of the pricing of this futures contract. Explicitly, (i) we obtain evidence to explain convenience yield seasonality with spot price volatility, unexpected demand shocks when supply is tight, inventory variations, and trading activity in the futures markets; (ii) we obtain indirect evidence…

Modeling foreign exchange market activity around macroeconomic news: Hawkes-process approach

2015

We present a Hawkes-model approach to the foreign exchange market in which the high-frequency price dynamics is affected by a self-exciting mechanism and an exogenous component, generated by the pre-announced arrival of macroeconomic news. By focusing on time windows around the news announcement, we find that the model is able to capture the increase of trading activity after the news, both when the news has a sizable effect on volatility and when this effect is negligible, either because the news in not important or because the announcement is in line with the forecast by analysts. We extend the model by considering noncausal effects, due to the fact that the existence of the news (but not…
