Des attitudes ambivalentes des employés face au changement lors de la privatisation des entreprises au Vietnam
Authors: VENARD Bertrand , MANH Ha Duc
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this article is to show and the explain the reasons of ambivalence in employee attitudes at a time of radical change, by taking the case of the privatization phenomenon in Vietnam. We have surveyed the privatization of 7 state-owned firms in various economic branches. Our research shows that employees in Vietnam have complex attitudes which should be analyzed through 3 dimensions: intention, emotion and cognition. This ambivalence is the result of multiple co-factors such as change management process, change program outputs, institutional, cultural and ideological frameworks. [PUB ABSTRACT]
Stratégie et contrôle de l'information dans les PME : Pour un élargissement du concept d'entreprise afin de mieux appréhender la stratégie des PME dynamiques
Authors: PIERRE-ANDRÉ Julien
Published: March 2024

Unlike traditional economic theory, which considers firms as individual organizations that systemically compete against one another, new analyses show that they often cooperate among themselves through various types of networks while seeking to increase their market share at the expense of other firms, and even, to a certain extent, to the detriment of certain members of the network. Thus it is not possible to understand the strategy of firms, particular that of SMBs, without taking into account these networks and the intercommunication between various actors which enables them to cope more effectively with the uncertainty inherent in the economy. Basically, small businesses are not alone. They can compensate for their lack of highly specialized resources by using networks or back-of-the-market transactions, an approach that is time-consuming but provides a wealth of information on the available opportunities and resources and, above all, stimulates investment by creating enthusiam among the members.

Dépendance asymétrique dans les alliances verticales : Comment un client vassal contrôle-t-il ses fournisseurs ?
Authors: DONADA Carole , NOGATCHEWSKY Gwenaëlle
Published: March 2024

The objective of this study is to analyze the exercise of control within vertical alliances marked by a strong asymmetry of dependence between the partners. Two case studies focus on the control that the buyers dependent on their partner suppliers can exercise on the latter. Our observations are put in perspective with proposals derived from transactional theory, social exchange theory, power- and dependence-based theory and resource- and competence-based theory. The study suggests the buyers that are highly dependent on their suppliers (here called vassal buyers) cannot impose strict contracts on nor influence their suppliers in a coercive manner. They prefer to use more informal control and seek to develop an "affective" influence on their suppliers. This influence is based on confidence and relational standards.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and its Relationship to Entrepreneurial Action: A Comparative Study Between the US and Korea
Authors: JUNG Dong I. , EHRLICH Sanford B. , DE NOBLE Alex F. , BAIK Ki Bok
Published: March 2024

This study used a recently developed and refined measure of entrepreneurial self-effacacy (ESE) to examine how individuals' assessment of theory entrepreneurial skills is associated with the entrepreneurial intentions and actions from a cross-cultural perspective. It was hypothesized that ESE would have a positive relationship with entrepreneurial intention and action. It was further hypothesized that self-assessed ESE would be higher among individualists than collectivists due to their cultural orientation and social environment in which they are embedded. Two studies were conducted to test these hypotheses. The results strongly supported these hypotheses in both studies.
NOTE DE RECHERCHE: THE COMPETITIVENESS OF MNCS IN A GLOBALIZED AND REGIONALIZED ECONOMY: THE WAR FOR TALENT AND THE ROLE OF WOMEN EXECUTIVES
Authors: LEVY Brigitte
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.

L'évaluation par l'accompagnant de la performance d'une structure d'aide à la création d'entreprise
Authors: MIONE Anne
Published: March 2024

This paper analyzes the performance evaluation of a business coaching initiative by its members. It presents the paradoxical case of a positive evaluation in spite of a disappointing outcome. Indeed, at the end of five years of operation, an Investment Club for the Management of Solidarity Savings, created to support female entrepreneurship, had coached and financed only one project. The methodology employed is based on a three-year participant observation and on a descriptive analysis of social networks. It highlights the effects of homogenization in the performance analysis linked to the embeddedness of the coach in the social network. It also underlines the roles of effectiveness and affectivity in this evaluation. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
La internacionalización de la empresa familiar: un análisis exploratorio
Authors: ACEDO Francisco J. , CASILLAS José C. , MORENO Ana M.
Published: March 2024

Internationalization is nowadays one of the main challenges for family firms worldwide, as a consequence of the globalization of the competitive environment. This challenge is particularly important for this kind of firm owing to the fact that these firms tend to be adverse to any change in their strategy that may lead to a possible loss of ownership. This paper proposes a general model oriented towards understanding the selection of the internationalization strategy in family firms. We also deepen the understanding of the nature of the international behavior of SMEs by using a sample of 435 firms from Andalusia. Results point to a lesser international activity in the analyzed family firms when compared to non-family firms, as well as to differences in the professional qualification of their managers.

Propriété ultime et performance des entreprises : une investigation empirique dans les contextes des pays développés et émergents
Authors: BEN HAMIDA Hela , MAMOGHLI Chokri
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of divergence between ultimate shareholder's cash-flow and control rights on firm valuation. In particular, we test incentive effect hypothesis and non monotony of the relationship between separation of control and cash-flow rights and firm valuation. Using data for 713 firms in six emerging and developing countries, we find that pyramiding and cross holding are the main devices to enhance the ultimate shareholder control in emerging countries. The ultimate shareholder is usually associated with family ownership. This result is in line with previous empirical studies. Also, we find evidence of higher performance in firms with higher cash-flow rights by the ultimate shareholder. The relationship between separation of control and cash-flow rights and firm valuation seems to be not monotone. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Styles d'apprentissage et management interculturel : Une étude comparée France - Allemagne - Québec
Authors: BARMEYER Christoph
Published: March 2024

Every person has her or his own individual way to learn and to solve problems in day-to-day situations. These personal cognitive strategies, acquired in a long socialization process are called "learning styles" and may differ depending on gender, age or culture. In this study, the learning styles of over 300 students in business administration in France, Germany and Quebec are examined with the Learning Style Inventory (LSI). This is why in the present article, cultural differences in learning styles of business students - future managers - in France, Germany and Quebec will be examined. The results give some essential orientation for nationally bound attitudes and explanations for differences in problem-solving styles. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Global Leaders: A Dialogue with Future History
Authors: ADLER Nancy J.
Published: March 2024

The 21st Century will demand an approach to societal leadership that thus far has been neither evident nor needed. In searching for appropriate models for the coming century, most people continue to review men's patterns of leadership. Few appreciate the equivalent patterns of historic and potential success in women leaders. This article focuses on the set of women who have achieved the highest level of global leadership either as global political leaders - presidents or prime ministers of countries - or as global business leaders - CEOs of major multinational companies. The article reviews the women's backgrounds, paths to power and contributions to their organizations and countries, as well as to society. It explores and explodes some of the most prominent myths about how women gain and use power.
General Features of Palestinian Industry
Authors: SABRI Nidal Rashid
Published: March 2024

This research aims to point out the general features of Palestinian industry and to suggest relevant strategies and possible alternatives for reforming the industrial sector. A management survey was carried out to collect the required data. A special instrument was said to interview the general managers of a random sample of 200 Palestinians factory firms. The study showed that the Palestinian factory firms, whether large or small, are family businesses, established exclusively by the private sector. In addition, the majority of the firms surveyed have managerial conflicts, were founded entrepreneurs without previous technical of marketing experience, used rebuilt or old machines at inception, acquire their raw materials from outside the Palestine area, and engage in limited marketing activities.
Knowledge-Based Work: An International Comparison
Authors: HEIDENREICH Martin
Published: March 2024

In a globalized, innovation-centred economy, knowledge-based forms of work organization are becoming increasingly important. On the basis of a European-wide survey into working conditions, it can be shown that independent, professional, and managerial tasks in particular are characterized by high job autonomy and complex problem-solving. However, to a surprising extent, more simple service and production occupations are also faced with complex problems and demanding tasks. Knowledge-based forms of work are facilitated by close customer contacts, target management, and participative forms of management. The competences, ability to learn, and commitment of employees are more thoroughly exploited in Scandinavian countries than in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Mediterranean countries. On the basis of another set of data, it can be shown that an extended utilization of the competences and commitment of employees is accompanied by more individualistic and intrinsic working attitudes - especially in the USA, Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries.
Influence d'un capital-investisseur sur la décision de croissance externe d'une moyenne entreprise non cotée: le cas français
Authors: TREHAN Natacha
Published: March 2024

French venture capital, specific by virtue of its development, would seem, since the mid 1990s, to be drawing closer to the British and American model of active monitoring. The aim of this study is to assess the reality of this follow-up, as it is perceived by managers and not from the point of view of their venture capital firm. The study focuses on the specific case of a growth by acquisition decision. Statistical results show that the venture firm contributes, effectively, to an evolution of decisional logic systems and modalities of growth by acquisition, but the venture firm's role as "facilitator" is not acknowledged by the manager.

Le management des hôpitaux français : palliatif ou curatif?
Authors: BONAFINI Pascal , RENAULT-TESSON Corinne
Published: March 2024

During the last half-century, hospitals in France have been affected by numerous reforms marked by a preponderance of external State controls. The evolution of hospital management tools reveals prosaically insufficient internal management. However, the account of the specific characteristics of the sector does not seem to us to wholly legitimize the modest use of these tools. Indeed, the quasi-inexistence of incentive (or sanction) mechanisms seems here a more plausible hypothesis than the failure of the tools themselves to explain the homeostasis of the sector. Effective implementation of the Plan "Hopital 2007" should bring about the expected modernization of hospital management. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Quel statut pour le coaching en entreprise? L'éclairage de la sociologie des professions

Published: March 2024

Corporate coaching is a growing practice that meets the requirements of organisations seeking to optimise employee performance and processes for managing human resources. This note presents an analysis of the status of corporate coaching using insight from sociology on professions. Practice, training, organisation and legal status, major reference criteria in building the notion of profession as envisaged by some sociologists, are used as mapping points to examine the practice of coaching and envisage it as an emerging professional group.
À propos du risque éthique en marketing international: l'entreprise vecteur et victime
Authors: HÉNAULT Georges , SPENCE Martine
Published: March 2024

The objective of this article is to take stock, in the light of utilitarian and deontological notions of ethics, of the inescapable consideration of ethical risk in international marketing by drawing on the acquired knowledge of the stakeholder theory. Whether exporters or multinationals, firms must meet the challenges presented by the complexity of this type of risk, of which they are both vector and victim. Indeed, firms encounter global ethical-ecological pressures as much from their stakeholders as from their markets. It is imperative that socially responsible firms implement a glocalized (globalized and localized) plan of action of ethical behaviour centred on sustainable development that then serves as a frame to any relational marketing strategy.

Health systems of developed countries have to face an evolution of demand of treatment. Health networks seem to be an "obvious" organizational solution to meet this demand. In this article, we focus on health networks in France which encourage to invent new collective strategies to deal with certain complex diseases. These networks are both increasingly influential in health and social context and raise doubts regarding their functioning that we study in a managerial perspective. [PUB ABSTRACT]

This paper focuses on the link between the supplier's economic performance in a vertical partnership with a given client and the closeness of the partnership. Authors provide empirical support to the Relational Approach with regards to the traditional approaches in Business Strategy. Statistical results suggest that the creation and coordination of joint resources clearly favours cooperative gain for suppliers.
Une seule flèche pour deux cibles : le pari ambitieux de la réforme budgétaire en France
Authors: ROCHET Claude
Published: March 2024

In France, administrative reform is taking on the ambitious job of budgetary reform in order to reform all public management. The transformation of public administrations should fit into a global transformation that is linked to the entry into society of information that disrupts prevailing organizational paradigms. This is not to say that using the instrument of budgetary reform alone to bring about such a transformation is sufficient, especially since the method for implementing the plan exercises a management bias, whereas the essential condition for success is the return to a policy leadership, especially through parliamentary vote, and to a radical transformation of managerial models.

Culture nationale, distance culturelle et stratégies de rapprochement : une analyse du secteur financier
Authors: MAYRHOFER Ulrike , ROTH Fabrice
Published: March 2024

This research aims to explain the relationship between national culture, cultural distance and the choice of the alliance form in the financial sector. The concepts of culture and cultural distance are used at two complementary levels, namely that of values and that of norms. The empirical study is founded on a European data-base of 170 interfirm linkages formed by banks and insurance companies, from 1997 to 2003. It shows that the cultural origin of actors influences alliance strategies. Conversely, the relationship between cultural distance and the choice of the alliance form is not clearly established.

Female and Male Entrepreneurs' Managerial Behaviour: A Brazilian Study
Authors: MACHADO Hilka Pelizza Vier , PRADO GIMENEZ Fernando Antonio , GOMES Valdir , ALIGLERI Lilian Mara , PELISSON Cleufe , ALIGLERI Luiz Antonio
Published: March 2024

In the last two decades a large number of papers have investigated gender and its relationship to entrepreneurial activities. Most of these studies analysed a small number of variables. In general, the results have not been very significant in terms of identifying differences between men's and women's entrepreneurial behaviour. Integrative perspectives involving a diversity of variables to explain entrepreneurial behaviour can represent an important contribution to studies of this nature. Our purpose in this paper, which presents the results of an investigation conducted in two cities in Parana, a Southern Brazilian state, is to illustrate how this can be done. Results indicated similarities in male and female entrepreneurial behaviour in most of the variables studied in this piece of research. However, some significant differences were found, mainly associated with characteristics of managerial style, relationship with the market, and strategies adopted by the entrepreneurs. We conclude this paper with suggestions for future studies that can contribute to a better understanding of entrepreneurship. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Le concept du portefeuille d'accords: un instrument d'analyse des stratégies de coopération dans l'industrie informatique
Authors: GUILLOUZO Raymond
Published: March 2024

The multiplication of interfirm agreements since the beginning of the 1980s attests, in most sectors, to the adoption of veritable alliance strategies and the constitution of portfolios of agreements that would be advisable to manage. Although cooperation between enterprises has given rise to numerous studies, both theoretical and empirical, it must be noted that there is little analysis of the concept of portfolios of agreement in the literature. The objective of this article is to open a field of thought on this concept and to propose a reading of portfolios that takes the diversity of determinants and partners' contribution into account.
Controlling Autonomous Public Agencies as an Indicator of New Public Management
Authors: VERHOEST Koen , VERSCHUERE Bram , PETERS B. Guy , BOUCKAERT Geert
Published: March 2024

This article starts with a short description of the New Public Management (NPM) phenomenon, followed by the development of a more narrow and research-oriented conceptualization of the broader NPM concept. This paper will argue that the extent to which ex ante control of agencies is replaced by results based control is an indicator for the level of NPM orientedness. Firstly, this paper describes the extent to which the public agencies in Flanders are controlled and in which way (ex ante versus results). In particular with regard to result control, the extent or intensity of result control is investigated by looking at the completeness and scope of result control. Secondly this paper looks at the extent to which the control practices are part of the control relationship between oversight authority and agency and not only for internal organizational purposes. Thirdly, a differentiated landscape of practices for control agencies in Flanders is observed, and some explanations for this differentiated picture are presented.
Gestion des chaînes logistiques multi-acteurs : entre planification et adaptation
Authors: PACHÉ Gilles
Published: March 2024

The management of multi-actor logistic chains is now an important research theme in management, especially from the point of view of firms' continuous adaptation to the increasing demands of their customers (in terms of deadline, variety, etc.). To come to terms with this, a certain number of works stress the importance of an optimal coupling between two antagonistic, but nevertheless complementary models: lean manufacturing and agility. The research note synthesizes these issues, but by indicating that only a wider vision, based on "political metaphor," makes it possible to understand the deterrents to a flexibilization of multi-actor logistic chains [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Authors: SIMONET Daniel
Published: March 2024

This article studies the movements of vertical integration among pharmaceutical laboratories between 1993 and 1995, the difficulties that appeared during these acquisitions and how laboratories were pressed to put an end to these acquisitions. A first part will be dedicated to the risks of distortion of the competitive process to which these strategies may lead. The second part will be dedicated to the factors, notably legal and institutional, which considerably reduced the interest of these strategies. Indeed, laboratories were not able to extract from these strategies the profits they expected. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Problèmes de cohérence théorique chez Philippe d'Iribarne: une voie de sortie
Authors: DUPUIS Jean-Pierre
Published: March 2024

Over the last 15 years, Philippe d'Iribame has undertaken vast research on the connections between national cultures and management. He reports on corporate dynamics, particularly concrete management practices, by drawing from a rich ethnographic corpus and a historical interpretation of national cultures. In this text, we examine the coherence, foundations, and limitations of the theoretical apparatus that he has constructed to explain the relation between national culture and management. We see that while his empirical material is rich and interesting, allowing him to shed new light on cultures, his theoretical construct displays numerous incoherencies and contradictions (for example, using different concepts to describe the same empirical reality). This prevents him from constructing a coherent empirical corpus that would allow certain generalizations about culture. At the end of the paper, we propose a way out of the theoretical impasse in which d'Iribarne finds himself, by proposing a theoretical model that explains national cultures in regard to value dynamics.

Stratégie des grandes firmes et réduction des effectifs : l'utilisation du licenciement pour motif personnel dans la gestion des cadres en France
Authors: PALPACUER Florence , SEIGNOUR Amélie , VERCHER Corinne
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the logics of the use of dismissal "for personal reasons" in the management of executives by the major industry groups in France. Based on 60 semi-directed interviews conducted with human resources managers, executives and experts in employment relations, we show that dismissal for personal reasons, in principle originating in the person of the employee, is used as a tool to manage departures in workforce reduction policies. We explain this phenomenon by the existence of ongoing pressures to reduce the French workforce, coupled with a growing individualization of management methods, in the globalization policies of large firms, and we stress its social consequences pertaining to the inequality of treatment face au dismissal and the weakening of the mechanisms of collection regulation.

Valuing High Growth Potential Companies: An International Comparison of Practices by Leading Venture Capitalists and Underwriters
Authors: BARROW Colin , COPIN Gilles , LANGE Julian , LELEUX Benoît , ST-CYR Louise , RICHARDSON Alan , PALIARD Rémy
Published: March 2024

This paper offers the first international comparison (France, Great Britain, United States, and Canada) of the processes used by venture capitalists and underwriters in the valuations of high growth potential companies, focussing in particular on the valuation processes and techniques used and the development and dissemination of valuation-specific knowledge. Differences between two groups and their key determinants are highlighted and tested using a sample of 174 valuation cases across 42 venture capital and 40 underwriting firms. The results support a large reliance on relatively simple valuation methods supported by extensive due diligences, reinforcing the important of negotiations and deal-making in the ultimate valuation results.
Quelles spécificités de l'instabilité des alliances stratégiques asymétriques? Cas des entreprises agroalimentaires locales en Méditerranée
Authors: CHERIET Foued , LE ROY Frédéric , RASTOIN Jean Louis
Published: March 2024

This paper aims to understand the instability of asymmetric strategic alliances. It is based on an empirical study of 226 strategic alliances established between multinational firms and local agri-food enterprises in the Mediterranean, between 1986-2006. The research found 3 main results. First, asymmetric relationships are specific by their forms of instability and exit motivations rather than by the instability rate itself. Secondly, instability is stronger for North-Northern relationships than for North-Eastern and North-Southern ones. Finally, multinational strategies largely explain the instability of asymmetric strategic alliances. [PUB ABSTRACT]

Published: March 2024

Can society do better than it has done in the past? History suggests that the answer is no. Yet global crises challenge us to transcend the confines of pessimistic precedent. The article explores the nature of wisdom, hope, and courage in supporting the types of changes most people would like to see in the world. Wisdom is "knowledge of what is true and right coupled with just judgment as to action." Courage transforms wisdom into meaningful action. Hope inspires people to aspire toward dreams that others judge to be unrealistic. The article presents the story of the birth of Uniterra, a unique international development effort born of wisdom, hope, and courage. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Teams made up of people from different countries are now common in firms, but they are not always as efficient as their members would like them to be. This article analyses the intercultural difficul- ties that these teams face and presents four strategies aimed at overcoming cultural barriers. A firm can 1) count on the international team members' openness, 2) contribute to developing interpersonal relations among the participants to help them establish efficient routines, 3) bank on international occupational or organizational cultures, or 4) establish a coaching process to help the teams build intercultural synergies.

L'influence de la pensée de James March sur la recherche francophone en management stratégique : une analyse bibliométrique
Authors: BOISSIN Jean-Pierre , CASTAGNOS Jean-Claude , GUIEU Gilles
Published: March 2024

This article analyzes James March's influence on strategic thought in the last decade by locating, in bibliographies of recent works on strategy, explicit references to March, then by analyzing, within the same articles and papers, the "citation context." This examination shows a significant presence of March in the bibliographies of the beginning of the decade (presence in 10% of the articles, mainly dealing with strategic processes) and increased importance between 1998 and 2000 (21% of the papers and articles). The works of March essentially add input to lines of research on management tools and on the themes of learning, cognition, leaders, and innovation. The additional analysis of the co-citations of the authors reveal five axes in the use of March's thinking: organizational, psychological, economic, evolutionist, and sociological. Each of these readings involves a distinctive definition of strategy: product of decision-making, mental creation, economic phenomenon, product and driving force of a dynamic evolution, or outcome of a behaviour.
Comparaison entre les entreprises françaises publiques et privées face aux exigences du développement durable
Authors: MARAIS Magalie , REYNAUD Emmanuelle
Published: March 2024

This article presents a comparative study of strategic integration of sustainable development within several public and private French firms, between 2001 and 2005. It primarily focuses on the influence of institutional and stakeholder pressures associated with property rights on sustainable behaviors. This study highlights the importance of industry regulation and powerful stakeholders to encourage the sustainable development actions of the companies. This research shows the emergence of strong public/private hybridization. This is most notably observed in an attempt to reconcile stakeholders with a priori contradictory interests (i.e. expected shareholder profit, public service demands, as well as social and environmental responsibility).

NOTE DE RECHERCHE: LES RESTRUCTURATIONS D'ENTREPRISE: QUELQUES POINTS DE REPÈRE
Authors: ROULEAU Linda
Published: March 2024

Although much is being written about corporate restructuring, researchers and practitioners are faced with a fragmentation and ideological character of the writers surrounding this matter. This research note proposes considering each corporate restructuring as a "total" organizational fact. Such a perspective implies representing corporate restructuring as the result of larger historical tendencies that fashion a corporation's structural arrangements. On one hand, corporate restructuring is imbedded in a double movement of rationalization and flexibilization of practices in management and work organization, which are at the center of the advancement of corporations today. On the other hand, their aim is the renewal of the resources and rule that make up the corporation. This article constitute the first step towards recognizing "corporate restructuring" as a field of research and implementation.
Un Análisis Simbólico de la Confianza: El Caso de México
Authors: TEILLERY Juan Castaingts
Published: March 2024

This article interprets confidence as the anticipation of someone else's conduct, possible reaction, ability to respect a commitment, and possible internalization of an ethic. Given that anticipation is a symbolic cultural process, it is studied with the analytical tools of symbolic anthropology. Confidence is inserted into a cultural system and involves a style, a will, the expression of passions and emotions, and the shaping of meaning. The consequences of confidence are analyzed through the example of the Mexican economy, and proposals are made concerning corporate management.
Logiques et enjeux des pratiques organisationnelles paradoxales
Authors: JOSSERAND Emmanuel , PERRET Véronique
Published: March 2024

Previous research in paradox and organizations leads one to both acknowledge the high interest of paradoxical practices within organizations and the limits of the academic approach of such practices. The simple ex-post description of paradoxical practices is not enough; some concrete directions about the implementation of such practices must be proposed. Based on a typology of paradoxical practices, this article identifies the underlying change logics and identifies some one of the concrete mechanism that can contribute to paradoxical management of organizations.
The Public Game Under Private Rules: A Social Relations Solution to a Political Problem
Authors: BORRELLI Leslie K.
Published: March 2024

Growing disenchantment with public sector performance has precipitated a broad slate of reorganization initiative. Most solutions are based on economic or political rationales and, to date, have not been effective in bringing about substantive public sector reform. This paper frames the issue using a social relations perspective and, together with political and economic theories, develops a conceptual model of public sector organization. Government enterprise under these assumptions is both economically and socially efficient, producing public goods and services that jointly maximize profit and social welfare.
NOTE DE RECHERCHE: MANAGEMENT AND COMPLEX ADAPTATION: A RESEARCH NOTE
Authors: STANLEY Guy
Published: March 2024

Large US companies are increasingly interested in complexity theory, especially what complexity can offer as a new management paradigm. The key to this new approach is an understanding of complex adaptive systems (CAS), especially the superior performance that can be achieved when such systems operate on the edge of chaos. Pushing an organization to these limits enables it to achieve new rates of innovation and to continuously reinvent itself. Whereas conventional economic discussions of the firm focus on the search for an efficient allocation of resources, the CAS paradigm is concerned more with adoption and rapid change. Four lines of inquiry into the competitive advantage of possible through a CAS approach are suggested: 1. comparing evolutionary strategies among companies in sectors where knowledge if growing exponentially, 2. examining ecosystem density as a source of strategic advantage, 3. charting evolutionary landscapes to explain innovation performance in the pharmaceutical and IT sectors, and 4. examining the tensions between adaptability and intentionally over multiple dimensions within firms managing with CAS principles, to chart boundaries in relation to performance.
NOTE DE RECHERCHE: ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING IN PRACTICE: THE BEHAVIOUR OF SENIOR PRODUCTION MANAGERS IN BRITAIN AND JAPAN
Authors: KIDD John B. , KANDA Makoto
Published: March 2024

Japanese firms recognize they cannot sustain their past performance and they are considering reviewing their management methods. To an extent, such management reviews of organizations are not confined to Japan, they are a global phenomenon - often called business re-engineering or some such term. It is postulated that refining the learning style of the company is a better way to build up sustainable competence rather than engaging in an organization revolution that may upset all the staff. However, as a first step, one has to understand one's current learning style: this can be defined more clearly by comparing one's own style with the styles of others - akin to the process of bench-marking. This appear concerns analysis of the learning styles of Japanese and British managers. Two large surveys were carried out - on in the United Kingdom and the other in Japan. The analyses have revealed the UK and Japanese managers are quite different in some respects and similar in others.

Published: March 2024

Tình trạng lạm dụng ma tuý đã trở thành vấn nạn của toàn cầu, gây tổn hại lớn đến kinh tế, chính trị, xã hội và làm suy thoái về đạo đức, lối sống. Theo báo cáo của Văn phòng Liên Hiệp Quốc về chống Ma túy và Tội phạm (UNODC), số lượng ma tuý bị bắt giữ tại Việt Nam không ngừng gia tăng trong các năm gần đây, đặc biệt là các loại ma tuý tổng hợp. Dịch tễ học từ phân tích nước thải (viết tắt WBE) đã được sử dụng ở nhiều nước trên thế giới nhằm giám sát việc tiêu thụ bất hợp pháp các chất gây nghiện. Để có thể triển khai phương pháp này, cần thiết phải xác định dư lượng của các chất chỉ điểm sinh học của các chất nghiên cứu trong nước thải. Do đó, nghiên cứu này đã xây dựng phương pháp định lượng 3 chất ma tuý tổng hợp có xu hướng gia tăng sử dụng hiện nay là Methamphetamin, Methylenedioxymethamphetamin (MDMA), Ketamin trong nước thải bằng LC-MS/MS kết hợp SPE-HLB. Phương pháp xây dựng được có tính đặc hiệu cao, khoảng tuyến tính, độ đúng, độ chính xác và LOQ đạt yêu cầu cho phép xác định dư lượng các chất này trong mẫu nghiên cứu.

Published: March 2024

Kehidupan manusia pada umumnya mencari Sang pencipta, Maka timbul bermacam-macam agama di muka bumi ini, dalam usaha manusia untuk mencari Allah. Trinitas dianggap ada tiga Allah, Bapa, Anak, dan Roh kudus. Ketiga hal inilah dilihatnya, dibaca, direnungkan ada tiga pribadi yang dipercayai. Dalam teologi Kristen Allah itu pada hakikatnya satu atau Esa dan di dalamnya ada tiga pribadi yang satu kesatuan tidak dapat dipisahkan istilah tiga tetap satu, Istilah ini sulit dipahami, karena bukan matematika tiga tetap tiga. Karena ini hal kemaha kuasaan Allah yang Esa. Dalam kekristenan tentang trinitas ini tidak menjadi pokok pembahasan sehingga sulit bagi orang Kristen untuk hidup dalam trinitas dan banyak yang tidak bisa mengaplikasikan dalam kehidupan ini. Padahal penting untuk mencapai tujuan Allah dalam manusia. Masalah pengertian trinitas ini sulit dipahami dalam pikiran manusia, karena Allah Esa mempunyai fungsi yang berbeda dalam sebutan, pada hakikatnya tetap satu kesatuan. Dalam tiga pribadi tetap satu kesatuan Allah yang Esa. Tujuan jurnal ini, karena Allah Esa penting untuk dimengerti dalam kekristenan tentang trinitas, dan dapat diaplikasikan setiap umat Kristen, supaya dapat diketahui melalui Alkitab yang merupakan pewahyuan Tuhan sebagai panduan menjalani kekristenan Tentang trinitas. Alkitab mengajarkan bahwa Tuhan disebut Allah. Allah Mahakuasa. Alkitab juga mengungkapkan beragam nama sapaan-Nya. Tuhan disebut Elohim artinya Allah Pencipta yang disebut juga Allah Bapa.

ABSTRACT:
The project focuses on the field of energy and sustainability within the framework of the sustainable development goals, specifically number seven, affordable and clean energy, and number eleven, sustainable cities and communities. Based on the energy generation and consumption data of two residential facilities, one at the Comillas University in Madrid and the other at the Deusto University in Bilbao, solar energy generation has been modeled. And the design and development of a web application to analyze energy consumption and view different summaries of the data, thus facilitating their analysis and interpretation has been programmed.
To achieve this objective, it has been necessary to carry out an exhaustive collection, transformation and cleaning of the data of the solar installation inverters, as well as to store them to be able to represent them later. The application allows a clear and accessible visual presentation of the data through different graphs, allowing users to quickly and easily understand the patterns and trends related to energy consumption that help them make decisions that optimize the energy consumption.
Keywords: Energy efficiency, solar power generation, consumption models, Big data, management application

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo general analizar la participación política de los pueblos indígenas en el Ecuador, desde la experiencia y logros alcanzados por parte del pueblo Otavalo de la nacionalidad Kichwa. El estudio se desarrolló utilizando el método inductivo, con un enfoque cualitativo, se realizó un trabajo de campo mediante la aplicación de entrevistas a dirigentes políticos y comunitarios reconocidos en el territorio, complementando el trabajo a partir de un diseño documental – bibliográfico, para lo cual se efectuó la indagación en artículos científicos, legislación nacional y convenios internacionales de derechos humanos entre otros, que posibilitaron el desarrollo de este tema. Se evidenció por los resultados que se han alcanzado varios Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados de distintos niveles, como gobierno Provincial (Viceprefectura), alcaldía, concejalías y juntas parroquiales. Sin embargo, se concluyó que, a pesar de los avances en materia de derechos políticos, aún persisten barreras que impiden una real participación política en igualdad de condiciones de los pueblos indígenas. Se han generado algunos cambios en la disputa del poder en lo local y su derecho a acceder a espacios de toma de decisiones debería ser aún mayor

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas (PH) are neuroendocrine tumors developed at the expense of chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or sympathetic chain paraganglia. It is a serious condition without the treatment which is essentially surgical. Our goal was to assess the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects of this pathology through a retrospective study conducted at the General Surgery Department of the Idrissa POUYE General Hospital in Dakar. Patients and method: This was a monocentric retrospective study carried out from January 2005 to December 2022. Included in this study were all patient files presenting an adrenal tumor whose biology or imaging was in favor of a pheochromocytoma. Results: During our study period, 22 cases of pheochromocytomas were treated in the general surgery department of the Idrissa POUYE general hospital. The average age of the patients was 36 years old with extremes of 16 and 66 years old. Sex concerned 86.3% (N; 19) with a sex ratio of 0.2. The average duration of symptom evolution was 10.31 months with extremes of 1 and 36 months. Hypertension associated or not with headaches was found in 81.8% of cases (N: 18). The urinary level of VMA was dosed in 6 patients and returned high in 3 cases (13.66%) The dosage of urinary metanephrines concerned 9 patients and it returned high in 88.8% of cases (N : 8). The plasma metanephrine level was very high in the 6 cases (27.3%) where it was measured. The blood sugar level was high in 2 cases. Abdominal ultrasound in 12 (54.5%) of our patients was in favor of a pheochromocytoma, while CT confirmed the diagnosis in 95.5% of our patients (N: 21). The location of the pheochromocytoma was right in 72.7%. (N: 16). All patients underwent adrenalectomy under general anesthesia. The duration of the hospital stay was 10.6 days on average, the mortality concerned two cases. Oneyear postoperative follow-up was unremarkable. Histology was in favor of benign pheochromocytoma in 90.9%. Conclusion: At the end of our study, we can conclude that pheochromocytomas are rare tumors in young female subjects, generally benign. Surgical treatment accompanied by good resuscitation gives satisfactory results. Keywords: Pheochromocytomas, Catecholamines, Metanephrines, Adrenalectomy.
