A gravura ecológica e seus aportes ao ensino fundamental I
Authors: Argolo Isabel Catarina Suzart
Published: March 2024

A Gravura, a exemplo das tradicionais expressões visuais, tem ampliado seu repertório técnico e conceitual em decorrência de experimentações e investigações realizadas nos últimos cinquenta anos (MORO, 2017). Ao longo desse texto, pretende-se mostrar que a Gravura Ecológica (GE), produto dessa ampliação, tem influenciado o surgimento de novos procedimentos introduzidos no Ensino Fundamental I, contribuindo para a formação de uma percepção sensível e de uma consciência e conduta ética do educando, na sua relação com o meio ambiente. Busca-se identificar nesses procedimentos, o exercício da percepção seletiva no processo de escolha dos materiais descartáveis, o manejo criativo na confecção de matrizes, destacando-lhes a aplicação do conceito de sustentabilidade na prática artística escolar (AGUILAR MORENO, 2017) e seus desdobramentos como instrumento de formação para a cidadania. Por fim, com base nesses aportes, salienta-se a efetiva articulação da GE com as habilidades requeridas pela BNCC, entre as quais, experimentar diferentes formas de expressão artística fazendo uso sustentável de materiais, instrumentos, recursos e técnicas convencionais e não convencionais (BNCC, 2017).
Diário de uma iniciação à docência
Authors: Cosentino Anna Carolina Coelho
Published: March 2024

No presente texto apresento inquietudes e reflexões emergentes na minha primeira prática docente em educação artística, realizada no ano letivo 2019/2020 em uma escola pública de Portugal. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com 05 turmas da componente curricular artes performativas, com crianças de 03 a 09 anos de idade e fundamentação teórica principalmente a partir de Viola Spolin (2008, 2010) e Augusto Boal (2005). No decorrer do referido ano letivo os primeiros dois meses de trabalho foram os mais difíceis. O principal desafio foi conciliar o que eu pensava que fosse interessante para os estudantes com o que eles traziam, propunham, desejavam - com quem eles são. Esta passou a ser a minha prática: estar com os ouvidos, o coração e a sensorialidade abertos para sentir como chegavam em cada um dos nossos encontros e a partir desta percepção buscar uma interação com os mesmos. Muitas vezes esta iniciativa foi “mal sucedida” no sentido de que não conseguimos produzir o que tecnicamente se chamaria de aula. Com a presente escrita apenas organizo o que foi feito de modo a começar a perceber onde me situo, no campo da educação artística.
Contribuições da neuropsicopedagogia para o acompanhamento pedagógico do aluno com deficiência mental
Authors: Melo Glenda Maíra Silva
Published: March 2024

A inclusão de estudantes com deficiência mental situa-se entre os maiores desafios da educação contemporânea brasileira. A escola, habituada a trabalhar com um modelo de aprendizagem que não considera a diversidade humana, encontra dificuldade para se adequar às especificidades dos alunos com deficiência mental. O campo da neuropsicopedagogia, por outro lado, vem oferecendo cada vez mais subsídios teóricos para a compreensão dos mecanismos cerebrais que levam à aprendizagem individual. Tal contexto levou a indagação sobre as possíveis formas de atuação do neuropsicopedagogo no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos com deficiência mental. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa sobre a produção científica das três últimas décadas sobre a deficiência mental e neuropsicopedagogia, foi possível conhecer as implicações da deficiência mental e os parâmetros para a atuação do neuropsicopedagogo no ambiente escolar. Os dados obtidos permitiram concluir que a falta de conhecimento sobre a especificidade dos processos cognitivos dos indivíduos com deficiência mental corresponde a um dos maiores entraves para a realização de práticas pedagógicas assertivas. Também foi possível concluir que o neuropsicopedagogo pode propor estratégias de ensino que viabilizem a aprendizagem do aluno com deficiência mental por meio da observação e identificação das questões pertinentes ao desenvolvimento motor, cognitivo e comportamental do aluno e do ambiente escolar no qual está inserido.
A arte como ferramenta de (re)significação na formação contínua de professores para a Educação Inclusiva
Authors: Nazzari Karina
Published: March 2024

Esse artigo constrói-se a partir do trabalho desenvolvido junto à professores de um instituto de idiomas que fizeram um curso sobre Educação Inclusiva como parte de seu desenvolvimento profissional em 2019. O principal objetivo destes era refletir sobre formas de atuação junto aos seus alunos com necessidades educacionais específicas. O curso ministrado teve como fundamentação teórica a abordagem histórico-cultural de Vygotsky ([1924 – 1934] 1999; [1997] 2012a), e utiliza-se da Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração (PCCol) (MAGALHÃES, 1990 - 2020) como base metodológica para o seu desenvolvimento. Os dados apresentados partem do discurso produzido pelos professores durante as aulas e evidência a forma como o contato com a arte, por meio de filmes, potencializa o entendimento destes de uma realidade diferente da sua. Esse contato por sua vez, fomentado por discussões permitiram aos docentes participantes do curso uma janela de oportunidade para o melhor entendimento do cotidiano de pessoas com necessidades educacionais específicas, bem como suas potencialidades, dificuldades e emoções.
The Effect of Conventional and Conservative Tillage Systems on Microbial Community Composition and Physiological Activity in Soils from Bărăgan Plain
Authors: Matei Gabi Mirela , Matei Sorin , Dumitrașcu Monica , Burtan Lavinia , Anghel Victoria Amelia , Petcu Victor
Published: March 2024

The paper aimed to present the results of research carried out on size, taxonomic composition and physiological activity of soil microbiota for assessing the effect of classic (conventional) and conservative (minimum tillage) agriculture systems applied in a zone affected by aridification from Bărăgan Plain. Significant differences concerning the quantitative parameters characterizing the bacterial and fungal communities from the two soil systems of tillage have been evidenced. Total counts of bacteria doubled and total counts of fungi was with one order of magnitude higher in soil minimum-tilled than in soil under conventional tillage system. Soil respiration values registered for both conservative and conventional systems are considered to characterize high levels of microbial physiological activities, with slightly higher values for minimum tillage system application than for conventional system. The beneficial effect of conservative system was evidenced by higher values of diversity indices registered for both bacterial and, especially fungal communities, as compared with those characterizing the communities from soil under conventional tillage system. The minimum tillage system favoured the increasing of abundance and diversity of actinomycetes, the dominance of Pseudomonas and Bacillus bacterial species and fungal species belonging to genera Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Mortierella and Paecilomyces in composition of soil microbiota, with multiple roles in main soil processes: decomposition of vegetal residues, synthesis of humus precursors, carbon sequestration, alleviation of various abiotic stress (drought, salinity), increasing accessibility of nutrients for plants, yields, biocontrol of plant pathogens.
What is Living and What is Dead in the Turkish Parliament?
Authors: Erhan Doruk
Published: March 2024

On January 30th, 2024, the Turkish Parliament officially revoked the mandate of Can Atalay, an opposition MP representing the earthquake-affected city of Hatay. Atalay's incident, from its inception to the recent parliamentary drama, not only exposes the diminished authority of the Constitutional Court but also exemplifies the tacit cooperation among the regime's loyal officers—judges, MPs, or civil servants. In this subtle network, the Parliament occupies a peculiar place with its distinct symbolism, serving as a fig leaf for authoritarian politics.
Gefahr einer Versammlung
Authors: Schramm Jonathan
Published: March 2024

Der staatliche Umgang mit Demonstrationen in Sachsen, z.B. nach der Verurteilung von Lina E., hat bisher eher zu einer Zuspitzung der Lage als zu einer Deeskalation geführt. Damit sollte bald Schluss sein. Im Sächsischen Landtag wird derzeit ein neues Versammlungsgesetz diskutiert. Dem aktuellen Entwurf liegt allerdings eher das Bild der Versammlung als Gefahr und nicht als Mittel des demokratischen Diskurses zugrunde.
La franquicia en Colombia: ¿una alternativa a la escasez de recursos o una opción para aumentar la eficiencia?
Authors: SIGUÉ Simon-Pierre , REBOLLEDO Claudia
Published: March 2024

This article examines the theories of lack of resources and control and motivation to determine if they can validly explain the development of franchises in Colombia. An opinion survey conducted among 30 franchisers suggests that neither theory can fully account for this development in Colombia. Based on indirect factors (where the franchise originated, etc.) and a number of specific questions (what factors were taken into account in adopting the franchise, financing sources, etc.), the work demonstrates that the two theories may seem mutually exclusive in theoretical terms, but are not so in practice. Owned and franchised outlets play a distinct role and both help promote the development of the entire system.
La danse générative des mondes au sein de l'entreprise-réseau: Figures de la coordination du processus de conception de produits
Authors: RENOU Yvan
Published: March 2024

The advent of an innovative based capitalism requires to develop new categories of analysis. Confronted with an "ontological uncertainty", the actors/designers of the network have to face a challenge of a new kind: they have to use social, technical and economic instruments to go from "possible worlds" to the "real world". In this article, we advance that such a "generative dance" have to be decomposed into three main steps to be efficient: populating the worlds, fostering generative relationships and framing the transactions.

Privatization and Corporate Governance in Transition Countries: Quantitative Success and Qualitative Failure
Authors: ANDREFF Wladimir
Published: March 2024

The qualitative assessment of the privatization outcome concludes that it has been a success story in transition countries. From a qualitive viewpoint that is less evidence and in this paper two failures are analyzed: 1. the weak corporate governance structure, and 2. residual state property in privatized firms. Both raise some doubt concerning the standard principle-agent model. The results obtained with non-standard privatization methods suggest an alternative economic analysis, helpful for the second stage of the privatization process, which is less geared towards speed than towards corporate governance issues. The suggested approach deals with coalitions between shareholders and stakeholders, interlocking directorates, mergers and takeovers, and illegal access to private property.

Assessing Managerial Work in Senegal: Do Western Models Apply?
Authors: NDIAYE Momar , LUBATKIN Michael , VENGROFF Richard
Published: March 2024

Major international organizations involved in development assistance have asserted that the development of non-Western countries - those of Africa in particular - is highly dependent upon their assimilation of Western management techniques. The applicability of these techniques, however, remains the subject of debate in the management and public administration literature. This article attempts to resolve this debate partially by investigation the degree to which the roles of management that were identified by Mintzberg in the US and asserted to be "universal" also describe the nature of managerial work in Senegal, a newly developing African country, regardless of gender, level in the organization, and organizational ownership type. Surprisingly strong support for the 'universality' hypothesis is found, with one important exception.

Monetary union, banks strategies, and the future of finance in North America
Authors: SANTILLAN Roberto J.
Published: March 2024

This report presents the views of top executives from the Bank of Montreal, Citibank (Mexico), and JP Morgan Chase (Canada) on the desirability of Monetary Union for NAFTA countries. In contrast with most published articles on the effects of monetary integration, the panelists expressed personal views and very authentic personal positions. The panelists' presentations and follow-up discussions made clear that monetary integration is just one of many aspects that need to be addressed in an increasingly integrated economic area where significant gaps abound and major structural changes are required. Some suggestions for further research are also presented at the end.

Une internationale des cadres ou des cadres internationaux?
Authors: PIERRE Philippe
Published: March 2024

Corporate ambassador duties are being assigned to a new generation of international executives whose mission will be to play an effective interface role between the head office and subsidiaries, as well as between the subsidiaries themselves, once they have thoroughly "absorbed" the firm's culture, such as the particularities of different markets. One promising area of study is the process by which these international executives continue to appropriate the spirit of the community to which they belong (primary socialization that reflects a subjective dimension of ethnicity), while at the same time identifying with professional roles by learning to play them in their own efficient way and beyond their cultural origins. This is most often referred to in terms of mechanical assimilation of the firm's values, or of a dual identity that is insurmountable for the employee. This article shows that the socialization of international executives is not defined through a single global culture that would make ethnic rootedness and national differences disappear.
Fidélisation des ressources humaines : une approche en termes d'échange social
Authors: PAILLÉ Pascal
Published: March 2024

A study was carried out on a sample of 258 employees to examine the impact of perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behavior towards colleagues and towards the organization in the intent to withdraw. There was a decline in two facets: the intention to quit and the intention to absenteeism. Empirical data show that intent to quit is predicted by three variables: perceived organizational support, organizational citizenship behavior toward colleagues, and intent to be absent. Intent to be absent is predicted by only one variable: organizational citizenship behavior towards the organization. Both theoretical and managerial consequences of the results of this research are discussed.
La gestion de l'incertitude et de l'opportunisme dans les décisions publiques Les enseignements des réformes électriques concurrentielles
Authors: PEREZ Yannick
Published: March 2024

By synthesizing the experiences of electricity reforms, it is possible to create a tool to understand the relations between the stakeholders of competitive reforms that indicate a questioning of public intervention. The identification of the forms taken by both uncertainty and opportunism reveals a triangle of opportunist relations that the new governance structure must manage. This identification makes it possible to understand the difficulties inherent in all reforms of network industries. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Économie et management dans les pays en transition / Economy and Management in Countries in Transition / Economía y gestión en países en transición
Authors: VENARD Bertrand
Published: March 2024

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, the former communist countries have experienced huge transformations. Although the transition has not been smooth, and there have been some snags and backsliding, few people today doubt that the transformation is heading towards a capitalist system. After going through economic transition, many European countries have begun a phase of economic integration, with an objective of becoming members of the European Union (EU). Although integration has begun, the transition is still not finished. Yet, the subject seems to draw less interest. There is a relative drought of information regarding transition, when compared to the flood at the beginning of the process.
Le rôle médiateur de la satisfaction au travail et de l'implication organisationnelle dans la relation entre le conflit travail-famille et les comportements citoyens au travail
Authors: GRIMA François
Published: March 2024

After a review of the literature concerning Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB) and Work-to-Family Conflict (WFC), this article testes the mediating effects of job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment on an industrial sales force. Structural analysis indicates differentiated links between WFC and OCBs (sportsmanship, civic virtue and altruism) and fails to establish job satisfaction and organizational commitment as mediators. In order to understand these complex results, they are discussed on the basis of recent OCB and CTF approaches.
Local Markets, Global Education: The Firm in the International Knowledge Economy
Authors: MADHOK Anoop
Published: March 2024

The international knowledge economy is due to the confluence of two major trends: the globalization and the "knowledgization," of normal commercial activity. In such an economy, the firm becomes a knowledge manager, and the primary task of management becomes the efficient and effective management of knowledge flows globally. This paper argues that a more appropriate representation of the modern appropriate representation of the modern firm would be as coordinator if value-adding activity, with the firm's strategy and organization having more to do with how its knowledge base can best be developed and coordinated so as to create and realize value. Being a cost-minimizer is no longer sufficient: the firm must become a manager of global value. The metaphor of a school is used to elaborate the underlying arguments and to emphasize the notion of the firm as a bundle of knowledge that arises from firm-market interaction and is mediated by management.
Personal Characteristics and Competencies as Correlates of Intercultural Transitional Adjustment Among US and Canadian Sojourners in Ireland
Authors: MORLEY Michael J. , FLYNN Mary
Published: March 2024

Drawing upon self-report data generated from a postal survey of US and Canadian expatriates in Ireland and following the established argument that expatriate transitional adjustment is best viewed as a multifaceted construct encompassing work, general, interaction, and overall adjustment, we test the extent to which personal characteristics and competencies predict adjustment in these different life domains of international assignees. While gender, marital status, age, and education fail to reach statistical significance, personal competencies show stronger correlations with felt adjustment. Empathy skills, stress reduction skills, and interaction skills were all significantly positively correlated with all the facets of transitional adjustment measured. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
La communication dans la mise en oeuvre du changement
Authors: GIROUX Nicole
Published: March 2024

This text shows that, in recent years, an interest in meaning and communication has appeared in both management and strategy literature. It presents three types of communication discussed in empirical studies of change. It also proposes a representation of communication in the change-implementation process. This model describes two approaches to implementation: 1. the monological mode, and 2. the dialogical mode. Finally, several propositions are formulated regarding the factors that can affect the relevance of adopting either of these modes of discursive change implementation.

"University-company" relations are created and developed within innovative networks. These networks are at the heart of an economic dynamic where the different players - university professors, research scientists, industrial leaders, institutional members - participate, share and create knowledge. The object of this article is to study the different ways these networks work and according to what conditions. The notion of knowledge platform is used to clarify the principles and relationships underlying these networks, which fit together with knowledge-detaining communities. A number of case studies are used to support the demonstration undertaken. [PUB ABSTRACT]
Langage, changement organisationnel et gestion de l'innovation
Authors: CHANAL Valérie
Published: March 2024

This article describes a longitudinal intervention study intended to accompany an organizational change to set up innovation management by projects. The approach is in keeping with a discursive theory of organizations, and considers the construction of a reference text as the pivot of communicating change. It is based on a method of lexical analysis of the actors' discourses. The results suggest that the text cannot be the sole contribution to modify practices and organizational language. It must be conceived of in complementarity with other non-discursive elements ensuring, incrementally, the transition between discourses and practices.
Topographie épistémologique du champ de recherche en stratégie d'entreprise
Authors: DÉRY Richard
Published: March 2024

In the past few years the emergence of an epistemology specific to the field of corporate strategy research has been seen. From the central epistemological question of the constitution of strategy knowledge, this fledging epistemology goes off in various complementary directions. Specifically, it is seen that epistemological questioning takes various forms depending on one's point of view. Epistemological questions and the issues that they raise will be different depending on whether the discussion of the constitution of strategy knowledge takes place in the field of research, the general field of strategy, management sciences, social sciences, science in general or the social field in general.
L'entrepreneuriat féminin en Côte d'Ivoire : obstacles et opportunités
Authors: OUATTARA Abdoulaye
Published: March 2024

The extensive analysis undertaken on female enterpreneurship related to the economic literature in general and about Cote d'Ivoire in particular are very few in number. In this view, the present study tries to highlight some economic and socio-cultural obstacles and the opportunities in the small and medium sized businesses creation by the ivoirian womankind. In a view to bring our investigations to a successful conclusion, we have considered a sample of 500 persons thanks to the sampling techniques from all the activities sectors. After the data processing, it emerges that in Cote d'Ivoire several obstacles are the groundings to the non effective implication of women in small and medium-sized enterprises creation and or their management. Among other reasons we find: religion, culture and ethnic group. To face these constraints, the study proposes recommendations that are likely to improve the ivoirian womankind integration in the trading economic sphere. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Mondialisation et stratégies de réforme au gouvernement du Canada
Authors: CHARIH Mohamed
Published: March 2024

In this article, the author looks at the reform strategies undertaken by the federal government of Canada. He analyzes these strategies under two administrations, that of Prime Minister Mulroney (1984-1989 and 1989-1993) and that of Prime Minister Chretien (since 1993). He argues that the strategies of the Mulrony government failed, as much in reducing the deficit as in redefining the role of the federal government, whereas the Chretien government strategy on deficit reduction is on target, while the task of redefining the role of the federal government is still begging the question of what is should do and not do?
A tale of two dollars : the future of Canada's currency
Authors: SCHEMBRI Lawrence , LAFRANCE Robert
Published: March 2024

This paper assesses whether Canada would benefit from entering into a monetary union with the United States. The various benefits and costs associated with different currency arrangements are discussed. The implications of this monetary union for the conduct of monetary policy and the evolution of Canada's financial system are also considered. It is concluded that, for the foreseeable future, the advantages that a flexible exchange rate provides as an automatic stabilizer and as a means of conducting an independent monetary policy in Canada outweigh the possible benefits that might follow from a monetary union.
The Way Forward for Equal Opportunities by Sex in Employment in Turkey and Britain
Authors: ÖZBILGIN Mustafa
Published: March 2024

Providing a review of the legal framework, national machinery, and organizational approaches to sex equality in Turkey and Britain, this paper identifies patterns and trends of change and explores how real change towards sex equality could be achieved in both countries. It is explained that despite the socioeconomic and cultural differences between Turkey and Britain, women in both countries share a common position as a disadvantaged group in employment. However, it is demonstrated that the nature of proposed agendas of change in legislation, state policy, and organizational approaches to equality shows divergence between Turkey and Britain.

It shows how useful it is to achieve more coherence between concepts of strategic management (specifically, the concepts of concurrent advantage, of 'cluster-level competencies' and of 'dynamic capabilities'), those of accountancy (particularly the concepts of 'value of use' and of 'cash generating units') and those of finance (in particular, the MVA/EVATM models and that of 'available cash-flow')[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
NAFTA corporate strategies in a multi-currency area: the case of Ford, Deere, and CN
Authors: SCHEINMAN Marc N.
Published: March 2024

This article reviews and evaluates presentations by Ford, Deere, and CN executives at a November 1, 2002, panel entitled "Corporate Strategies in a Multi-Currency Area" (NAFTA). The panel succeeded in its primary objective, namely stimulating vigorous discussion among highly informed businessmen, central bankers, and academics from the USA, Canada, and Mexico on the subject of North American monetary and financial integration. However, the participants concluded that such an outcome was very likely in the near future. Given the panelists' level of enthusiasm and discussion, the article ends by calling for developing case studies that focus on their companies' strategic positioning in the three distinctly different NAFTA countries.

Convergences et divergences de la transition vers le marché en Asie: Chine, Vietnam, Laos, Mongolie
Authors: LAVIGNE Marie
Published: March 2024

This article begins with the hypothesis that the Asian market transition is specific when compared to the developments observed in Eastern Europe, and that within the countries observed, there are convergences and differences. One major factor of convergence in three of these countries, the maintenance of a communist regime, distinguishes them from Mongolia, which, like the countries of the CIS and Eastern Europe, introduced a democratic regime right from the start. However, the convergences prevail in the four countries studies. These include the essentially rural character of the economies; the low level of poverty; and the continuation of a remarkably high growth rate despite stabilization policies related to the transition itself and despite the Asian and Russian crises in 1997-1998. These brought about a deceleration of growth, overcome more quickly than among their neighbors. The macroeconomic policies hardly differed from the standard measures introduced in Easter Europe: liberalization, fighting inflation, and fighting budget deficits.

This article examines the influence of the French and German development models - based on the concepts of social capital and confidence - on the combination strategies implemented by players in these two countries. The objective is to make a more precise comparison of the way French and German banks and insurance companies behave regarding business alliances. The results suggest that national models influence combination strategies and that there is a need for a more in-depth study of the relationship among these variables.
Internationalisation des entreprises en démarrage et systèmes juridiques : une analyse institutionnelle des choix de localisation
Authors: COEURDEROY Régis
Published: March 2024

In the field of strategic management research, works devoted to entrepreneurial issues are, with increasing frequency, reflecting on the internationalization processes of start-ups. The present research paper uses the theoretical framework of the new institutional economy to study the location strategies of high-technology young firms at the time of the initial entry decisions. More specifically, we consider that these firms tend to initiate their internationalization processes by penetrating countries with legal environments close to those of their home country and do so to limit the transaction costs generated by the environmental uncertainty that the host country represents. An empirical test of a sample of start-ups in Germany and the United Kingdom confirms this hypothesis. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

L'apprentissage par l'échec : une logique de garbage can?
Authors: CUSIN Julien
Published: March 2024

According to literature, commercial failures should not be dramatized, since they constitute potential sources of learning. Another idea advanced is that failure often acts as a stimulus to change inside an organization. Here, we suggest considering the change in a firm's behavior, after a disappointment, as the ultimate stage of learning through failure. In fact, this process is divided into two successive stages: a phase of cognitive development, followed by a behavioral development one. In this paper, we show that the impact of failure on an organization's behavior answers "garbage can" logic.
In search of the asymmetries explaining real exchange rate changes in North America
Authors: COITEUX Martin
Published: March 2024

Despite the strong integration of the three NAFTA economies, "pricing to the market" has remained the norm in the continent over the last 20 years. Bilateral real exchange rates vis-a-vis the US have exhibited wide fluctuations and persistent trends in both Mexico and Canada. This paper argues that the asymmetry in one variable, capital inflows net of debt service, rather than the terms of trade or productivity differentials, is the key to understanding what happened. This asymmetry may dissipate in the future, but if it does not, monetary union will prove difficult in North America.
La certification ISO 14 001 : une perspective néo-institutionnelle
Authors: BOIRAL Olivier
Published: March 2024

The objective of this article is to analyze, through the case study of the implementation of ISO 14001 standards in Canadian plant installations, the way in which organizations integrate the formal structures that result from institutional pressures. In particular, the study examines the ritual and ceremonial aspects of conformity to these structures. The study shows that the adoption of ISO 14001 corresponds to a coercive isomorphism that, in-house, leads to the adoption of a system serving to bring greater rationality and tighter control to environmental management practices. However, the procedural rationality of the standards leads to perverse outcomes, the intensity of which varies depending on the case studied: the lack of employee involvement, the bureaucratic red tape of the system, and the ritual nature of certain practices especially during audits. The study's findings contribute to illustrating the symbolic and managerial aspects of institutional phenomena by showing the contradictions and the difficulties they create for the management of organizations.

Fonctions et portée des démarches stratégiques urbaines: une analyse comparative public-privé
Authors: FAVOREU Christophe
Published: March 2024

The increase in popularity of strategic planning exercises in the public sector and, most specifically, the municipal sector has given rise to a certain number of criticisms aimed at relativizing or even denying the effectiveness and usefulness of this type of process. This article gives nuance to such arguments by demonstrating that, starting with simple planning logic, cities have little by little evolved toward a truly strategies management of their development projects. Moreover, the non-material, qualitive results of this type of process, which are often not taken into account, prove to be fundamental to driving local development strategies.
De la formation e-Learning à une démarche heuristique de l'apprentissage organisationnel
Authors: BAUJARD Corinne
Published: March 2024

E-learning experiments carried out in the field of training often prove disappointing. Therefore, adoption motives, the assessment of which is a growing concern for companies, have to be examined. Which learning methods encourage e-learning adoption? Can new technologies encourage organisational learning? From an epistemological point of view, these questions are in keeping with the social perspective which is developing in the field of information systems. The Grounded Theory is applied to interviews carried out with companies following an inductive approach. From a heuristic point of view, the framework of analysis identifies several learning methods which may be pragmatic, cognitive or operational. It appears that the e-learning experiments depend as much on their adaptation to the environment according to a strategic approach as on the social interactions with technology in managerial practices.

For Richer and for Poorer
Authors: BRENNER Reuven , BRENNER Gabrielle A.

Over the last decades, countries like Ireland, Singapore, Taiwan, and now China, have leapfrogged others that have been both better endowed with natural resources and with populations having more "formal" education. This article examines the critical role financial markets played in this process. We show what is the maze of institutions and conditions needed for financial markets to open and become "democratized." Without these institutions and conditions, countries eventually relapse and stagnate. Since even today few countries are moving in the proper direction, we conclude that their "growth" will prove to be short-lived. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Le droit du travail québécois et les restructurations d'entreprise : un encadrement et un contrôle juridiques anorexiques?
Authors: COIQUAUD Urwana
Published: March 2024

Dealing with the multiple processes of restructuring, companies are called upon to redefine their borders, to purely and simply abolish jobs by means of employment dismissal. If dismissal allows the company to adapt to the pressures of its environment, it nevertheless collides with the functions of protection and security specific to labor laws. This article proposes to study the legal framework of dismissal and its judicial control in Quebec with regard to unionized employees. From this examination, it appears that neither the legal framework nor the control exercised by the courts offer employees a sufficiently protective framework. [PUB ABSTRACT]
Shifting Responsibilities: The Position of Equality Agencies in Gender Mainstreaming
Authors: VERLOO Mieke , BENSCHOP Yvonne
Published: March 2024

This paper highlights an important and under-discussed topic - the effect of globalization and competitiveness facing multinational corporations (MNCs) and the role that women can play in addressing these problems. With the increasing demand for scarce skills and the war for management talent, women executives can contribute to improving organizational performance. We address issues of barriers to the advancement of women executives and demonstrate that to become global leaders, MNCs must develop action-oriented programs to address gender and diversity issues and the work-life concerns of today's society.

The state of North American integration
Authors: BLANK Stephen , COITEUX Martin
Published: March 2024

This paper focuses on the degree of integration reached in the North American space. A "combined trade intensity index" is developed that allows a comparison of North American countries to a sample of representative European Union countries. The interconnection of North American infrastructures is then examined. On the basis of the gathered evidence, we finally ask whether one market calls for one money in North America as it did in Europe. However, this broader issue is left to be addressed more directly by the other papers published in this thematic issue.
Les acteurs, déterminants et stratégies liés à la progression de carrière des femmes tunisiennes et marocaines dans des postes de direction dans l'administration publique
Authors: BRIÈRE Sophie , GUAY Marie-Michèle
Published: March 2024

This article presents the results of research on the advancement of women in management positions in the Tunisian and Moroccan public administrations and, more specifically, focuses on identifying the factors that determine or restrict the career paths of women managers in management positions in the Tunisian and Moroccan public administrations. The exploratory survey, undertaken among 36 women managers in these countries using mainly semi-structured interviews, illustrates that management competencies, political will, the legal framework, and support for education are among the most important determinants whereas family roles and responsibilities, human resource management practices, and discrimination in the workplace represent the most important restrictions. This research also shows that the career path is particularly influenced by the actors present in the environment as well as by the different strategies used by the Tunisian and Moroccan women questioned.

El modelo de la nueva gestión pública frente a los municipios latinoamericanos: ¿funcionan las recetas?
Authors: CABRERO MENDOZA Enrique
Published: March 2024

For at least 25 years the governments of various countries have been under considerable pressure to improve efficiency owing to the weakness of public finances, to improve the effectiveness of public policy owing to a state's failure to fulfill its objectives and finally to achieve permanent interaction with society to counter the crisis of legitimacy that the contemporary state is experiencing. This article explores whether such strategies and management approaches have had a favorable impact on the Latin American countries, particularly Mexico.

In this study, 2D-QSAR analysis and molecular docking were performed to investigate the relationship between the hydroxamate-based HDAC inhibitors with benzimidazole scaffold and the activity toward HDAC6. A dataset of 55 N-hydroxybenzamide, N-hydroxypropenamide derivatives containing benzimidazole structure with HDAC6 in vitro activity were collected. The MLR (multiple linear regression) method was used to build a 2D-QSAR model when internal (leave-one-out cross validation) and external validation were also tested. In addition, the molecular docking study was performed by using MOE 2008 software to validate the affinity of the inhibitors at the active site of HDAC6 enzyme (PDB ID: 5EEN). The model was developed using 7 molecular descriptors from 55 compounds with results of R2 = 0.905, RMSE = 0.343 and the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) = 0.950. The molecular docking results also demonstrated the favorable binding interactions of compounds into the active site on the structure of HDAC6 and the essential residues in the pocket and the key interactions of benzimidazole ring with these residues. Notably, the study enables a reliable model to predict the inhibition activity of new benzimidazole-containing inhibitors in HDAC6.

Human Resource Management (HRM) conceptually encompasses policies, practices and systems that influence employee behaviour, attitudes and performance. The comparative research of HRM between France and Egypt, countries from different continents, Europe and Africa, used the literature study method with a descriptive-qualitative approach. The results showed significant differences in HRM practices between the two countries. France has an intuitive recruitment approach with the use of multiple interview methods, while Egypt tends to use internal and informal recruitment. In development, France focuses on internal relations, while Egypt involves government initiatives. Regarding termination of employment, France has a collective policy (RC), while Egypt is unstable in the tourism sector. Performance appraisal in France is subjective, while in Egypt employees care more about procedural justice. The compensation system in France involves fixed and flexible salaries, while Egypt has government regulations. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) regulations are stricter in France, reflecting cultural and labour law differences. Thus, cultural and legal differences create different frameworks in France and Egypt, influencing the implementation of HRM in each country.
