SEDIMENTACIÓN URBANA Y MUTACIÓN DE EDIFICIOS. El papel de los edificios preexistentes en la transformación de la ciudad
Authors: Beltran Borràs Júlia , Silva José Miguel
Published: March 2024

This research focuses on the potential value of pre-existing buildings in Portuguese urban regeneration over the last twenty years. For this purpose, three buildings have been selected that have been given a new lease of life through a change of use and have made a significant contribution to the transformation of the city: an old market has been converted into a music school, with a pedestrian walkway and garden, a slaughterhouse restored as a cultural centre with a new square for the city, and the rehabilitation of a set of blocks in which the interior spaces are opened up to generate new paths. The methodology includes the analysis of the type and form of the urban elements - street, square, block - observing the transformations over time on the building and the open space. The result is a critical sample of urban fragments in which the project of mutation of the buildings has served to generate new public spaces.
Keywords: morphology, typology, morphogenesis, re-used buildings, public space

Esta investigación pone en foco en el valor potencial de las preexistencias en el proceso de regeneración de las ciudades portuguesas en los últimos veinte años. Para ello se han seleccionado tres edificios que han adoptado una nueva vida mediante un cambio de uso, contribuyendo significativamente en el proceso de transformación de la ciudad: un mercado obsoleto reconvertido en escuela de música que genera un pasaje peatonal y un jardín, un matadero recuperado como centro cultural que crea una nueva plaza urbana, y la rehabilitación de un conjunto de manzanas en las que los espacios interiores se abren para generar nuevos trayectos. La metodología incluye el análisis del tipo y forma de los elementos urbanos -calle, plaza, manzana-observando las transformaciones en el tiempo sobre la edificación y el espacio abierto. El resultado es una muestra crítica de fragmentos urbanos en los cuales el proyecto de mutación de los edificios ha servido para generar nuevos espacios públicos.

FORMAS E DINÂMICAS DAS PAISAGENS SUBURBANAS
Authors: Serrano Ines
Published: March 2024

Considering landscape not only as a set and combination of typo-morphological elements, but especially the relational dynamics between these elements and its underlying logics, our aim is to analyse what kind of typo-morphological elements are at work, the relations between them and the role that urban morphological parameters set in the regulations and plans have in suburban landscape composition and configuration. To shed light on these issues, we tried to identify which basic elements define suburban forms, their specificities, dynamics and relational attributes. We analysed land uses and parameters defined in line with the construction of suburban fabrics resulting from urban development operations, mainly private allotments, designed and built in the last decades and located in the metropolitan area of Lisbon (AML).
 
Keywords: urban parameters, urban planning, suburban form, suburban landscape.

Considerando a paisagem, não apenas como um conjunto e combinação de elementos tipo-morfológicos, mas sobretudo a dinâmica relacional entre estes elementos, e as lógicas que lhes são subjacentes, queremos analisar, que tipo de elementos tipo-morfológicos operam, que relações estabelecem, e qual o papel que os parâmetros e índices urbanísticos, inscritos mo quadro regulamentar inscrito nos planos urbanísticos, tem na composição/formação da paisagem suburbana. Para responder a estas questões, tentámos identificar os elementos básicos que definem as formas suburbanas, suas especificidades, dinâmicas e atributos relacionais. Analisámos, os usos do solo e os parâmetros que se definiram em consonância com a construção dos tecidos suburbanos, decorrentes de operações urbanísticas, sobretudo loteamentos privados, projetadas e construídas nas últimas décadas, e localizadas na área metropolitana de Lisboa (AML).

The popularity of direct-to-consumer genetic ancestry services has exploded over the past five years, with as many as 250 direct-to-consumer genetic ancestry testing companies currently operating and estimates that 1 in 5 Americans are customers of one or more of those companies. Marketing of genetic ancestry testing has consistently linked the results of DNA testing to a consumer’s racial and ethnic identity, and, because of that, can help consumers find out “who they really are.” We argue that the “biologization” of race and ethnicity promoted in such marketing violates norms of marketing ethics. In particular, we show that this marketing technique violates a number of the core commitments and values of the American Marketing Association Statement of Ethics.
Untargeted metabolomic profiling of 100% malt beers versus those containing barley adjunct
Authors: Yorke Joanna , Dew Tristan , Cook David
Published: March 2024

Why was the work done: The incorporation of unmalted barley at high proportion in the grist can introduce unfavourable bitter and astringent characteristics to beer, resulting in an upper limit on the proportion used. The flavour active compounds from raw barley which contribute these characteristics to the beer remain to be identified.
How was the work done: This study used non-targeted metabolomics to determine non-volatile metabolites which could contribute to flavour differences when brewing with barley. Three beers were analysed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (qTOF) with an electro-spray ionisation source (ESI).  One beer was produced using 100% malt and two beers with a grist of 15% barley and 85% malt (beers A and B).  The barley was used untreated (beer A) or treated using a proprietary process (beer B).  The metabolomic profiles of the three beers were compared and statistically different molecular features were annotated via analysis of MS2 spectra.
What are the main findings: Several of the main differential molecular features were nitrogenous peptides and purine derivatives. This was attributed to the lack of the malting process and associated proteolytic enzyme activity reducing the extent of protein and peptide breakdown in the unmalted barley. Several of the identified peptides had amino acid residues which are known to cause bitter and kokumi (rich) taste in beer, which could explain the bitterness when brewing with unmalted barley.
Why is the work important: A non-targeted approach offers new insights into non-volatile molecular features in beer that have not been previously identified with targeted analyses. Accordingly, this work identifies metabolites and groups of compounds which have not been previously considered when investigating the unfavourable bitterness and astringency associated with the use of unmalted barley

Published: March 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques play an increasingly crucial role in the field of drug repurposing.As the number of computational tools grows, it is essential to not only understand and carefully select the method itself, but also consider the input data used for building predictive models.

This review aims to take a dive into current computational methods that leverage AI and ML to drive and accelerate compound and drug target selection, in addition to address the existing challenges and provide perspectives.While there is no doubt that AI and ML-based tools are transforming traditional approaches, especially with recent advancements in graph-based methods, they present novel challenges that require the human eye and expert intervention. The growing complexity of OMICs data further emphasizes the importance of data standardization and quality.
The giant tapir, Tapirus haysii, from Leisy Shell Pit 1A and other Florida Irvingtonian localities
Authors: Hulbert Richard C.
Published: March 2024

Twelve new records of the giant North American tapir Tapirus haysi, are reported from Alachua, Levy, Citrus, Polk, and Hillsborough counties, Florida. Biochronologic analysis of associated vertebrates indicates T. haysii was limited to the late early-middle Irvingtonian (ca. 1.5-0.6 Ma) in Florida. The sample of T. haysii from the Leisey Shell Pit 1 A site is the most complete yet recovered, and second only to the Port Kennedy Cave population in numbers of measurable teeth. All known cranial features of T. haysii resemble those of T. veroensis, including a low, double-ridged sagittal crest, ontogenetically delayed fusion of the interparietal with adjacent cranial elements, massive mandibular ramus, and relatively short diastema. Phylogenetic analysis of New World Tapirus produces two equally parsimonious cladograms. In both, T. haysii and T. veroensis form one monophyletic clade, and the extant Neotropical species T. pinchaque, T. terrestris, and T. bairdii another. They differ with respect to the position of T. simpsoni, a late Miocene North American species.
Seasonal abundance and habitat use of selected snakes trapped in xeric and mesic communities of north-central Florida
Authors: Dodd C. Kenneth , Franz Richard
Published: March 2024

We studied the upland snake community on the Katharine Ordway Preserve-Swisher Memorial Sanctuary during the years 1989 and 1990. A total of 220 wire-mesh funnel traps were deployed at seven xeric and three mesic habitats for a total of 39,162 trap nights. Habitats were sampled from March or April to September or November, depending on year and location. Fourteen species (276 individuals plus 53 recaptures) of snakes were captured, nearly all in traps, of which the five most abundant were Cemophora coccinea, Coluber constrictor, Masticophis flagellum, Micrurus fulvius, and Sistrums miliarius. The high-pine snake-community was slightly more diverse and evenly distributed than that of the other xeric or mesic habitats. Snakes were active throughout the sampling period but showed complex rather than strictly modal patterns of activity. In general, there appears to be little seasonal or macro-level habitat partitioning among the five most commonly trapped snakes. Neither monthly rainfall nor temperature appeared to influence capture. The black racer (Coluber constrictor) was the most commonly trapped species in all habitat types, with larger racers caught in more structurally diverse habitats. Sampling biases may account for the lack of capture of certain species or the underrepresentation of species known to be more common than capture data indicate. Funnel traps should be used in conjunction with other techniques to remove sampling biases when inventorying and monitoring snake communities.
Pleistocene amphibians and reptiles from the Leisey Shell Pits, Hillsborough County, Florida
Authors: Meylan Peter A.
Published: March 2024

Amphibians and reptiles are common among the vertebrate remains recovered from the Leisey Shell Pit. This study was undertaken to document the diversity of these groups and is not a detailed account of all available Leisey specimens. For the sake of completeness, an effort was made to identify every element that could add to the taxonomic list. A total of 20 reptiles and 4 amphibians has been identified from the late early Irvingtonian Leisey 1A and 3A localities. The fossils from the adjacent Leisey 2, which is chronologically mixed (early and late Pleistocene), includes three additional taxa, and these are discussed in the systematic accounts. None of the Leisey sites possesses a diverse herpetofauna, especially compared to Inglis 1A. The Leisey 1A herpetofauna is dominated by three taxa-Alligator, Trachemys, and Hesperotestudo--while Leisey 3A is dominated by aquatic natricine snakes.

Thirteen species of carnivores have been recovered from the Leisey Shell Pits, late early Irvingtonian of Florida. These species include Armbruster's wolf Canis armbrusteri, the wolf coyote Canis edwardii, the gray fox Urocyon cinereoargenteus, the tremarctine bear Arctodus pristinus, the gracile sabercat Smilodon gracilis, the machairodont Homotherium sp., the bobcat Lynx rufus, the cheetah-like cat Miracinonyx inexpectatus, the raccoon Procyon lotor, the long-tailed weasel Mustela frenata, the spotted skunk Spilogale putorius, the river ottor Lutra canadensis, and the Caribbean monk seal Monachus tropicalis. Of significance, the Leisey carnivore fauna includes (1) the largest, most complete sample of Smilodon gracilis, and (2) the first Irvingtonian record from Florida of Lutra canadensis. The Leisey carnivores rank with those from Coleman 2A and Inglis IA as the most diverse carnivore faunas known from the Irvingtonian of Florida.
Living on the edge: trophic ecology of Alligator mississippiensis (American alligator) with access to a shallow estuarine impoundment
Authors: Nifong James C.
Published: March 2024

I used a combination of stomach content and stable isotope analyses to examine intrapopulation and temporal variation in use of estuarine prey resources by Alligator mississippiensis (American Alligator) with access to a shallow estuarine impoundment located on the northeast Atlantic coast of Florida. I used a multi-tissue stable isotope approach to examine temporal trends in trophic interactions. This study took place within the Guana River Wildlife Management Area located in Ponte Vedra, Florida. From 2010 to 2012, I collected stomach contents from 44 A. mississippiensis and stable isotope samples from a total of 127 individuals. Stomach contents indicated the principal prey taxa consumed on a short-term basis were invertebrates (i.e., insects and crustaceans) and small baitfish. Individuals of all sizes used estuarine, as well as freshwater prey resources; however, the importance of estuarine prey to the diet increased through ontogeny. Juvenile and sub-adult stomach contents predominantly contained freshwater insects, while adult diets mainly contained estuarine baitfish and crustaceans. I used stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) measured in three tissues (blood plasma, red blood cells, scute keratin) differing in turnover rates to assess overlap and temporal variation in the isotopic niche and inferred trophic interactions of A. mississippiensis sub-populations. Isotopic niche and inferred trophic interactions of A. mississippiensis varied among size classes, sexes, years, and capture habitats. Overlap in isotopic niches of sub-populations was highest between sexes of similar body size and for individuals captured in similar habitats within the same years. Temporal shifts in trophic interactions were most prevalent for juveniles and sub-adults, while adults demonstrated a higher degree of temporal stability in trophic interactions and niche specialization. These findings represent one of the few studies to examine intrapopulation variation in use of estuarine prey resources by A. mississippiensis. Results of this study should be useful to habitat managers designing and implementing conservation programs for coastal ecosystems in the southeastern United States, especially in light of the expected alterations in coastal habitat structure due to sea level rise and global climate change.
Confirmation of introduced Agama picticauda in Florida based on molecular analyses
Authors: Nuñez Leroy P. , Krysko Kenneth L. , Avery Michael L.
Published: March 2024

As of 2010, Florida had the largest number of introduced and established non-indigenous herpetofaunal species in the world. With the advent of molecular methodologies, researchers now are able to test hypotheses regarding introduction pathways, species identity, and native range origins. African Agamas, Agama Daudin 1802, found in Florida are hypothesized to be the African Rainbow Lizard, A. agama africana Hallowell 1844, based on color patterns and hypothesized native range origins (i.e., Benin, Ghana, and Togo) of imported specimens for the pet trade. However, recent systematic studies within the native range of the Agama complex have resulted in multiple taxonomic revisions, which calls into question the species identity of introduced populations in Florida. The purpose of this study is to determine the species identity of African agamas within Florida, as well as the native range origins of Florida populations. We conducted a comparative maximum likelihood analysis between individuals from Florida and individuals from the native range. Based on our results we determined that the species found in Florida is Agama picticauda from western Africa.

Published: March 2024

This research aims to evaluate the ignition quality of briquettes made from sago waste and coconut shells and determine the heat transfer rate in the combustion process of briquettes using damar resin as a binder through conduction and convection. The research method employed laboratory experiments, utilizing two testing models: honeycomb briquettes with 14 holes made from sago waste, coconut shells with damar resin as a binder, and a similar honeycomb briquette model using tapioca flour as a comparative adhesive. The tools used included an infrared thermometer, a moisture meter for measuring water content, an anemometer for measuring air velocity, a stopwatch, a scale, and a briquette stove.

The research findings indicate that honeycomb briquettes with 14 holes made from sago waste and coconut shells with damar resin as a binder exhibit faster combustion with a content level of approximately 10-12%. The conduction heat transfer in these briquettes is approximately 26,376 watts/m2, while the convective heat transfer reaches 40,801 watts. In comparison, the testing with tapioca flour as a binder shows a conduction value of 42,206 watts/m2 and convection of 43,208 watts. From these research results, briquettes made from sago waste and coconut shells with damar resin as a binder can be an effective alternative to replace kerosene fuel. The high combustion speed and efficient heat transfer make these briquettes attractive for alternative energy use
Henri Léger-Dorez: The First Expandable Implant (1912)
Authors: Diakonof Hadrien
Published: March 2024

In the early 1900s, various authors worked on “artificial roots” to replace missing teeth. E. J. Greenfield’s pioneering works (1910-1913) are among the best-known today and are often cited n publications reviewing the history of oral implantology. Shortly after Greenfield’s first communications in the scientific literature, a French dental surgeon, Henri Léger-Dorez, designed the first expanding dental implant, which he indicated was used successfully in cases of single tooth edentulism. Its aim was to obtain the best primary stability and thus avoid the use of dental splints during osseous healing process. Léger-Dorez’s works give us a new angle on the research in oral implantology by the pioneers of the early 20th century.

Terrorism of the Croatian Revolutionary Movement: Ustasha
Authors: Bursać Boris
Published: March 2024

Human history has been marked by various terrorist activities, making it possible to assert that terrorism characterizes almost all epochs of human civilization. From the Jewish zealot group known as the Sicarii, through the Shiite religious sect of the Assassins in the 11th century, to the French Revolution, the Spring of Nations, and well-known bomb attacks and assassinations, terrorism as a form of violence represents one of the leading security threats. Waves of terrorism in the last 100 years have swept through modern civilization, and each wave brings with it a new form of terrorist activity. One such wave "hit" the territory of the former Yugoslavia, bringing to light a terrorist entity known in the literature as the Ustasha - Croatian Revolutionary Movement. This movement, its emergence, and evolution will be the subject of a detailed analysis in this scientific work. Special attention will also be devoted to the radical ideology of the movement, terrorist activities, and crimes, especially those against the Serbian population.

A Study on the Practice of Co-governance in Urban Ethnic Communities under the Background of “Three Governance Combination” Guided by Party Building: Taking Kunming Ala Yi Ethnic Group Street as an Example
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Li Yue
Published: March 2024

The governance model of “three governance combination” guilded under Party Building is an important part of the co-governance practice of urban ethnic communities in the new era, and it is also a new requirement for building a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. Taking Ala Yi Ethnic Group Street in Kunming as an example, this paper investigates and analyzes the practice path, effectiveness, deficiencies and countermeasures of the governance model of “three governance combination” in urban ethnic communities, aiming to clarify the main relationship and practical contents of the “three governance combination” governance model in urban ethnic communities, and provide theoretical and practical support for improving the governance level of urban ethnic communities. The research shows that under the “three governance combination” grassroots governance model in urban ethnic communities, the three relationships should be nested with each other, and its specific practice should be centered on the guidance of party building, while strengthening the cultivation of autonomous subjects, improving the legal guarantee system, strengthening the role of moral governance and education, and improving the coordination mechanism of multiple co-governance, so as to stimulate the endogenous impetus of the community and to realize the joint governance of urban ethnic community affairs.

The study of strategy formation of three industrial firms during the first decade of the economic transition (1989-1999) has highlighted interactions between the firms' strategic development and the emergence of new organizational competences. Distinct stages of strategy formation and competences leveraged and/or built at each stage have been clearly identified.
Communication organisationnelle et stratégie
Authors: GIROUX Nicole , DEMERS Christiane
Published: March 2024

This article discusses the relationship between the communications and strategy. Different communications models arising from functionalist, interpretive and critical paradigms (Bureel and Morgan, 1979; Putnam, 1982) are described. The authors show that these communications models are present more or less explicitly in the different concepts of the strategic process, and they suggest avenues of research for a study of the communicational aspects of strategy. Moreover, since it appears that the grid proposed by Burrell and Morgan has reached its limits, given the evolution of theoretical knowledge, this article discusses a recent paradigm: constructionalism. It also explores the impacts of a constructionist model of organizational communications of the communications-strategy link.

The aim of this article is to analyze theoretically and empirically the interfirm relations in an emerging industry, that of multimedia, using a large database of 1,802 processes of reconciliation carried out by 1,365 firms between 1993 and 2003. More specifically, we test the theoretical explanations of risk and competences put forward to justify the process of reconciliation. The results show that the concepts of sectoral similarity and geographic similarity, on the one hand, and those basic competences and additional competences, on the other hand, are useful in providing a better understanding of the nature of interfirm relations in the multimedia industry.

Authors: HOURQUET Pierre-Guy , MASCLEF Olivier , MÉTAIS Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

Aided by an analysis of the asymmetrical partnership between two firms (Nortel and Geodis), this article aims to demonstrate the existence of expenditures and destruction of wealth without immediate compensation effected by the smaller for the more powerful. To explain the existence of these very specific provisions, the authors refer to the theory of religious sacrifice developed by Hubert and Mauss, adapted and defined in the framework of management. In this perspective, the authors present the nature of managerial sacrifice and elaborate on the purposes, the principal one being communion, meaning the construction and the restoration of the social link between the stakeholders. It is the finding that the Nortel-Geodis asymmetrical alliance was able to develop despite very serious crises, because Geodis made sacrifices to maintain good relations with Nortel.

In this article, we underline the possible contribution of the theories developed by North and enriched by the new institutional economics to study the trajectories of the electricity firms in the great process of reform engaging as well the developed countries as the developing countries. We propose thus to distinguish the possible options and strategies that the institutional environments of the various countries offer to the electricity companies. By doing this, we underline the contribution permitted by the institutional theories to account for the strategic behaviour of the firms in front of the opportunity of the competition opening in a sector a long time dominated by national forms of organization.

La communication environnementale organisationnelle comme stratégie de légitimation
Authors: PHILIPPE Déborah
Published: March 2024

The organization is an institutionally embedded entity and its behaviour is conditioned by the expectations emanating from the environment. This paper attempts to determine if environmental reporting can constitute a strategic tool with which organizations can manage their legitimacy. A longitudinal analysis of the annual reports of 90 American firms confirms - in accordance with legitimacy theory - that organizations use environmental reporting as a legitimization strategy with its stakeholders, and shows that the diffusion of these practices is strongly linked to institutional pressures.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Etapes clés du développement d'un réseau d'entreprises : proposition d'une grille d'analyse
Authors: STERVINOU Sandrine , LEGRAND Céline
Published: March 2024

This article contributes to the further understanding of the different stages in the development of inter-firm networks. It makes use of a longitudinal case study of a network whose members share a collective trade-mark, and proposes an inductive analytical grid of the development of inter-firm networks. The first part consists in the identification of five distinct sub-stages which reveal two stages of the evolution of a network demonstrated by Larson (1992). The second part is linked with the characterisation of these sub-stages by presenting six descriptive elements and five analytical elements, in the context of the inductive analytical grid.

Réseaux, communautés et projets dans les processus créatifs
Authors: COHENDET Patrick , GRANDADAM David , SIMON Laurent
Published: March 2024

Creativity does not result from the work of a few talented individuals, but, on the contrary, nourishes itself from the repeated interaction between heterogeneous entities, embedded in creative networks, that are dispersed among different collective forms and characterized by an important strategic dimension. The aim of this contribution is to present and interpret these networks, which are at the basis of the dynamic process of creation. In order to illustrate our thoughts, we analyse the case of two creative networks: in the field of jazz music and in the field of video games. [PUB ABSTRACT]
Les pays du sud à l'épreuve des normes ISO : vers un sous-développement durable?
Authors: BOIRAL Olivier
Published: March 2024

The exponential growth of the amount of ISO management systems and the upcoming launch of a new standard on corporate social responsiveness represent opportunities for organizations to promote their social legitimacy and to implement the main concepts of sustainable development through internationally recognized systems. Thus, ISO management systems now cover the main facets of this concept, which proposes to find, at an international level, a balance between economic, environmental, and social issues. Nevertheless, the generalization of these standards and their possible use for promoting sustainability call for major questioning, especially for southern countries. Indeed, by their cultural and economic specificities, organizations from these countries remain a priori relatively impervious to the formalist proposals of ISO management systems. This imperviousness is reflected in the international distribution of the amount of certified organizations, which shows a clear gap between northern and southern countries. This paper proposes to analyze the stakes of the generalization of these standards by showing their pertinence and their limits to promote the concept of sustainable development, especially in southern countries.
La planification stratégique au gouvernement du Québec: un cadre pour l'entrepreneuriat public
Authors: BERNIER Luc
Published: March 2024

Strategic planning is just as in vogue in the public sector as it is in the private sector. Research in this area has thus far concluded mainly that it is not very useful in an environment where decision making is gradualist. The findings presented in this article, which as based on a series of interviews, lead one to believe, however, that formal strategic planning provides a frame of reference for entrepreneurial activities in organizations that are best described by the organized anarchies models, whereby the organizations have poorly defined objectives and difficulty interpreting their complex environment. Strategy planning has enabled these organizations to increase their legitimacy in their governmental environment and to increase the coherence of their objectives by making it possible to define a common organizational culture.
Culture nationale, valeurs et références « ultimes »
Authors: PESQUEUX Yvon
Published: March 2024

Discussions about globalization are leading today to the need to examine national culture. This text looks at the insurmountable antagonism between the values of the geographical space of markets and the values of the geographical space of nations. It does this by focusing on the differences of national cultures in regard to their interference with the way firms have of spreading their governance practices throughout the world. The difficulty is isolating these elements in order to understand the relation to formal management tools, which have cultural connotations themselves, by looking at a proposal on the foundation of culture-organization relations through "ultimate references."

Confiance, contrat et degré d'asymétrie dans les relations d'alliance
Authors: VIDOT-DELERUE Hélène A. , SIMON Éric
Published: March 2024

Asymmetry between partners is a dimension that can affect the management of alliance relations. Asymmetry is often the result of the size differential between the corporations, the cause of numerous disparities in terms of culture, power, or competences. Few studies focus on the way small and medium enterprises manage relational risks as they pertain to the degree of asymmetry of their alliance relationships. This is precisely the issue addressed in this article. We maintain that the degree of asymmetry conditions the management of risks, while the perception of risks is independent of it.

Pensée stratégique et rationalités: un examen épistémologique
Authors: MARTINET Alain Charles
Published: March 2024

The subject of this article is the strategic management corpus, which the author classifies according to content. The structure of the corpus involves four fundamental types of logic, which are in fact attractors in which most strategic management research is based. There is the teleological attractor, which includes texts in which the firm is presented as a system that managers can and must govern, the eco-logical attractor, which includes contributions that give a major role to the firm's environment, the sociological attractor, which includes research emphasizing the social, political and cultural nature of strategic management, and finally the ideological attractor, which attracts work emphasizing the cognitive and linguistic dimensions of strategic management. As the article shows, the epistemological status of these attractors varies, depending on whether one takes a positivist of constructivist attitude toward them.
Face à la complexité des cultures, le management interculturel exige une approche ethnologique
Authors: D'IRIBARNE Philippe
Published: March 2024

The construction of attitude scales is currently dominating intercultural management. This would be a satisfactory situation if a given position on a scale corresponded to an identical attitude in every circumstance. But this is far from being the case. Taking cultures into account in management requires being interested in the attitudes that specifically concern the implementation of each particular tool (budgetary control, ethical approach, etc.). Moreover, bringing out the heterogeneity of attitudes is essential when trying to obtain attitudes that are not habitual (particularly, more cooperative) through appropriate management. Understanding such heterogeneity demands an ethnological approach.
Le management des équipes multiculturelles: l'expérience des équipes afro-occidentales
Authors: MUTABAZI Evalde
Published: March 2024

Managing multicultural teams is a com- plex and crucial problem, particularly in Africa. It involves difficulties that are connected - not to cultural differences - but to stereotypes, misunderstandings, and the neglect of differences between local managers and expatriates. This article explores the matter by looking at the case of Socometal, a mixed firm, in which an Afro-Western team of managers was observed. Although this particular situation takes place in Senegal, the case is representative of numerous other situations of multicultural teams observed in Africa (and probably in other developing countries), where the shock between the local "Circulatory Management Model" and the models imported from the West is often poorly managed.
Les frontières du management stratégique
Authors: TARONDEAU Jean-Claude
Published: March 2024

Corporate strategy is a recent discipline. The concept of strategy is poorly defined, and the word strategic is used indiscriminately. Referring to concepts of military strategy and definitions proposed for more than three decades by economists and managers, this text proposes to define the boundaries of the concept of strategy. It appears that the concept of the strategic process can clarify these boundaries.
L'envie au travail : une synthése des recherches sur une émotion taboue
Authors: VIDAILLET Bénédicte
Published: March 2024

Despite the fact that envy is a prevalent emotion in the workplace, it generally drew little scholarly attention until recently. In this paper we try to integrate the existing results on workplace envy into a coherent framework. We will identifiy the factors that may lead to the development of this emotion, as well as the consequences of envy on the individual and on the organization. Our objective is: 1) to show that researchers in management and practioners should gain advantage of better understanding the functioning of this emotion in organizations and 2) to provide a framework for further research on this topic.
