Émergence de l'organisation transversale: vers de nouvelles modalités de gestion du personnel participant aux projets
Authors: BOURGEON Laurent
Published: March 2024

In the current context, horizontal organization, which reconstructs the organization by process (a project being nothing more than a temporary process) in a logic of customer service (internal or external), seems to be the over-riding response. However, most enterprises than have opted for organization by projects have become aware of the difficulty of integrating different departments while maintaining functional excellence. The aim of this research is purely descriptive. It is to bring out the managerial practices - logics of constituting project teams and career management for project managers - of the personnel involved in existing projects in enterprises that have opted for cross-department organization.
Une lecture néo-institutionnelle des différences de perception du risque et des décisions d'octroi de crédit : une comparaison France-Bulgarie
Authors: SAÏD Karim , RAYTCHEVA Stela
Published: March 2024

This article intends to compare analysis practices and granting bank loans from bankers working in French and Bulgarian institutional environments. Based on fictitious scenarios, the research aims at analyzing the specificities of perceptions and decision making concerning credit offers in both countries. What emerges from this research is that the decisions concerning credit offers will depend on the nature and the hierarchy of the criteria required. These criteria are mostly influenced by the characteristics of the institutional environment and particularly by regulatory, normative and cognitive factors.

Entrepreneuriat et sciences sociales en Afrique
Authors: KAMDEM Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

The main aim of this article is to set out a synthetic analysis of entrepreneurship in sub-Saharan Africa from a social sciences perspective. The study of the entrepreneurial phenomenon in Africa and elsewhere has long been dominated by preoccupations related to the economic and financial analysis of the enterprise. This is not surprising because of a management approach that is based on the hegemony of the economics aspect and less interested in social and cultural problems. Nevertheless, it must be noted that the development of African societies reveals complex situations. The clarification of these situations requires social science to get to the heart of the rationalities that exist in those societies and that are likely to have a positive or negative influence on the development of enterprise.
La formulation de la stratégie d'entreprise comme mise en récit
Authors: BOUDÈS Thierry
Published: March 2024

Stories present interesting qualities for strategic management. They describe dynamic processes, are easy to memorize and speak both to reason and to emotion. Yet the manipulation of stories seems so familiar that it goes unnoticed; managers produce strategic stories like Moliere's Monsieur Jourdain produced prose - without knowing it. In the drawing together of story theories and management, the aim of this article is to examine from a theoretical point of view what taking the narrative dimension of corporate strategy into account can contribute to the formulation of strategy.

Neo-institutional Perspectives on Public Management Reform
Authors: VAN GESTEL Nicolette , TEELKEN Christine
Published: March 2024

In this paper, theoretical explanations of competing drivers of change from neo-institutional theory are applied to public sector patterns of reform. The aim is to investigate basic ideas, assumptions, and practices of public management reform over the past two decades and analyze these elements of change from three different perspectives in neo-institutional theory. The empirical focus is on a cross-sectional comparison of the public services in higher education and social security in the Netherlands, embedded in a contextual mix of Anglo-Saxon and continental European models.

Les théories des choix publics expliquent-elles de façon adéquate la croissance de la taille de l'état?
Authors: FACAL Joseph
Published: March 2024

This article shows that when Public Choice explanations of the growth of the State are confronted with existing empirical data, the overall result is an extremely nuanced picture which has to be interpreted with great caution. This leads us to believe that a balanced understanding of the difficulties to control public spending growth calls for theoretical insights borrowed from other schools of thought. We believe Public Choice explanations of public spending growth should be viewed as models valid only under very specific and stringent conditions and not as a general theory. We contend also that the postulate of individual rationality need not be reduced to a narrow calculus of self-interested egoism. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Gérer dans la tourmente: le management des entreprises formelles au Congo-Brazzaville
Authors: BOIRAL Olivier , MBOUNGOU Grégoire
Published: March 2024

The characteristics of African management are often given as an example to highlight the cultural relativism of management practices and the need to adapt these to the specificities of local context. However, these practices do not depend solely on culture. They are also embedded in a sociopolitical context that may be unstable and sometimes violent. Few studies have attempted to show the role of armed conflicts plaguing many countries - particularly in sub-Saharan Africa - on the management of organizations established in these at-risk zones. An empirical study made with about thirty managers in Congolese firms during the time of the civil war that ravaged Congo-Brazaville shows that consequences of this hostile environment on management practices. It appears that African management, as a whole, tends to be well adapted to situations of crisis and chaos. In particular, the community solidarity that characterizes African firms acts as a social buffer to absorb shocks related to conflicts, and it helps compensate in part for the decline of public institutions. The results of this study also show that despite reinforcement of certain traditional characteristics, in particular autocratic paternalism, Congolese management is rather open to more modern and participative management practices.

Action organisationnelle et isomorphisme institutionnel: Une grande banque française face à Internet
Authors: CHETIOUI BEN OSMAN Lamia , MOUNOUD Éléonore
Published: March 2024

This article develops an understanding of the information technology integration process that links three levels: the organizational field, the organization, and the interactions between individuals. It is organized around the longitudinal study of the introduction of an online banking information system in a leading French bank. The organizational action is discussed using the interactions among members of the organization in that these interactions are both entrenched in an institutional context and situated in an organization. The study of the interactions leads us to an analysis of the structuring episodes and mechanisms of both the organization and the organizational field. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Une étude empirique des formes et déterminants de l'intégration post-acquisition
Authors: CALORI Roland , LUBATKIN Michael , VERY Philippe
Published: March 2024

Mergers and acquisitions are part and parcel of the globalization of industries. Yet firms have not mastered the integration phenomenon they entail. This article considers post-acquisition integration as a multidimensional phenonmenon that includes resource sharing, centralization, formalization and socialization. Emphasis is placed on 3 types of factors that affect the integration process: 1. strategic, 2. political, and 3. cultural. On the basis of an empirical study of 177 acquisition in Europe, this article shows that each dimension of post-acquisition integration is related to a particular configuration of factors. The diversity of the integration factors demonstrates the complexity of this phenomenon and the usefulness of a multivariate analysis of integration process.
North American monetary and financial integration: notes on the US perspective
Authors: TRUMAN Edwin M.
Published: March 2024

These notes summarize from a US perspective the microeconomic and macroeconomic costs and benefits of North American monetary and financial integration. The analysis assumes substantial convergence in the structure of financial systems and supervisory and regulatory regimes toward the US model. The conclusion is that neither costs nor benefits are likely to be substantial, and the net, whatever its sign, is likely to be trivial. Thus, the case for much deeper integration is likely to turn on other considerations.
Análisis de la influencia de las asimetrías organizativas, en la performance de las alianzas entre empresas
Authors: ESCRIBÁ ESTEVE Alejandro
Published: March 2024

With the objective of advancing knowledge and understanding of the idiosyncrasies of strategic alliance formed by firms with asymmetric organization characteristics, this article uses qualititive research to study 5 cases of alliances (four of them of an international nature). Through a process of analytical induction the article builds a theoretical framework that introduces propositions about the effects of partners' organizational asymmetries on development of the relationship. The existence of certain variables and factors that may influences those effects are proposed. Finally, it is argued that the relationship between the partners' organizational asymmetries and the alliance's performance is indirect. The induced model offers a possible explanation to the differences in results from previous works.
NOTE DE RECHERCHE: ENTREPRENEURIAT ET MANAGEMENT STRATÉGIQUE: DES DOMAINES SINGULIERS SE RECOUVRANT PAR LE TRUCHEMENT DES « STRATÉGIES ENTREPRENEURIALES
Authors: VERSTRAETE Thierry
Published: March 2024

Entrepreneurship is the object of media and political attention that could lead to interpreting it as the result of a fashion. As such, it is sometimes used in adjectival forms that can be surprising. Nonetheless, the expression "entrepreneurial strategies" seems timely, as the publication of special issues by renowned academic journals shows. These journals sometimes make ambiguous remarks through their coordinators about interpreting the field of entrepreneurship into that of strategic management. Yet it seems reasonable to recognize these two areas as being singular, even if they cover a set of notions or concepts that, in the end, constitute the foundation of entrepreneurial strategies. Although we may be enthusiastic about works coming from related structuring, it is important not to dilute the singularity, thus the identity, of these areas. This article attempts to take stock of the situation in order to avoid harmful amalgams.
Réseau public et changements organisationnels dans l'administration publique, les entreprises et les banques : quelles premières leçons tirées de l'expérience du Réseau Tradenet?
Authors: BOUAZIZ Fatma , CHAABOUNI Jamil
Published: March 2024

Virtual single windows providing on-line services constitute one of the projects of public administration modernization. The Tunisian public administration has initiated the project of virtual single window "Tradenet" which entered into effect in 2001. The project aims at facilitating foreign trade administrative formalities using information technologies. The present paper aims at, first, studying the organizational impacts of Tradenet on both the public administration and involved enterprises and second identifying some determinants of its adoption by banking institutions. The results show that Tradenet seems to lead to minor structural transformation on the concerned firms. In contrast, studied public organisms have seen no change following the implementation of Tradenet due mainly to inertia limiting the ICT's potential. As for the banks, the noticed lag in Tradenet utilization may be explained by their need of assuring information system's compatibility. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Un enfoque integrador de la elección del modo de entrada en los mercados internacionales. Una aproximación empírica en sectores de servicios
Authors: SANCHEZ-PEINADO Esther , PLA BARBER Jose
Published: March 2024

From traditional explanations of entry mode choice, this paper provides evidence about an important sector in the worldwide commerce: the service sector. Based on 174 entry mode decisions of service firms, this paper suggests the need of including some other variables of strategic nature that facilitate the understanding of a complex phenomena which is not always explained just by efficiency or value-added considerations. Additionally, our results show that some arguments used in manufacturing firms cannot be directly transferred to service firms because unique characteristics of services could condition the entry mode choice into international markets.

Authors: ARRÈGLE Jean-Luc , DACIN M. Tina , HITT Michael A. , BORZA Anca
Published: March 2024

There is a certain deception regarding the results of international alliances that necessitates research on the development of these alliances. In the same way, one of the critical phases, the selection of partners, needs to be studied more amply. The purpose of this article is to present the results of a study on the evaluation of allies of French managers and two CEE countries (Poland and Romania). The results show the criteria of evaluation, their relative importance, and their variations according to country. The results confirm explanations of the selection of allies according to institutional framework, the approach based on resources and organizational learning. This research has important consequences for theory and managerial practice in international alliances, because it provides a precise analysis of the criteria of evaluation as well as their differences for these countries.

Mexico's experience with a flexible exchange rate regime
Authors: CUEVAS Alfredo , WERNER Alejandro
Published: March 2024

The availability of a nominal anchor and increased trade and investment flows are considered key benefits from a fixed exchange rate, while a floating exchange rate ensures freedom to use monetary policy. We show that having a flexible exchange rate has not hurt Mexico's ability to reduce inflation, develop trade, and attract foreign investment. Moreover, monetary policy has been used to address shocks on the economy with good results, while the elimination of explicit and implicit exchange rate guarantees has prevented the emergence of currency and maturity mismatches in capital flows and balance sheets.

The Many Faces of Privatization: Can We Generalize about Privatization?
Authors: ADAMS F. Gerard , VERNON Heidi
Published: March 2024

Privatization seeks a number of objectives, often very different from the achievement of greater efficiency. Consequently, privatization takes many different forms. This paper considers privatization from a conceptual perspective and raises some implications for evaluating the privatization experience. Care must be taken to appraise privatizations with full recognition of their origin, structure and economic setting.
Problèmes d'incitations et aide au développement : une perspective institutionnelle
Authors: GAUTHIER Bernard
Published: March 2024

The article examines from a neo-institutional perspective the constraints and the incentives presented by international aid when it is granted by international economic organizations (IEO). Basically, the hierarchical relation of the principal agent linking donor countries and recipient countries through the IEOs creates a potential for rent dissipation by the agents. Certain institutional arrangements were conceived to promote donor countries' control of IEOs' conduct, in particular the latter's financial dependence on donor countries, the appointment of top managers, and the supervision of activities through the Board of Executives and the Board of Governors. However, the context of functional interdependence between IEOs and recipient countries in the production of international aid policies is exacerbated by the problems of moral hazard and rent dissipation by agents. The possible collusion between international bureaucrats and the governments of recipient countries as well as the problems of collective action between the donor countries and the IEOs increase the inefficiency of international aid processes.
Le contrat psychologique et l'engagement organisationnel: une exploration empirique
Authors: ROUILLARD Christian , LEMIRE Louise
Published: March 2024

The goal of this research is to clarify, through comparative quantitative analysis, the effects of psychological contract violation on individual organizational commitment in a federal (Canadian), public organization and a private firm, both located in Quebec, in light of individual, organizational, and situational characteristics. In simplifying the results presented in the following pages, let us keep in mind that the significant difference between the public organization and the private firm concerning psychological contract violation is low (p <_ 0,05). The results of multivariate regressions suggest that violation of the psychological contract explains an important part of the variance of organizational commitment (affective and moral), just as much as they suggest that individual variables such as certain career anchors, career orientation, and locus of control exercise the most influence on organizational commitment.
Une analyse des représentations de la stratégie et de son management dans la production d'ouvrages en langue française (1990, septembre 1996)
Authors: LAURIOL Jacques
Published: March 2024

This article analyzes the various representations of the strategy as they appear in works published in French from 1990 to 1996. In the first section, the author examines the various models or taxonomies found in the literature and proposes an initial positioning of the object. The second part defines an analytical grid suitable for processing the discursive content proposed in the 51 works surveyed. This analysis yields 4 representations of strategy and its management, of which two appear to be dominant: 1. strategy as a process of developing purposes and objectives, and 2. strategy as praxeology of the action principle.
À la recherche du Pérou : un regard sur les études organisationnelles péruviennes (1960-2000)
Authors: RAUFFLET Emmanuel Benoit , GARCIA DE LA TORRE Consuelo
Published: March 2024

This article traces the evolution of organizational studies in Peru between I960 and 2000. For each decade, This paper comments on the studies themselves and link them to their institutional and national contexts. It proposes the idea that, even though research and teaching institutions have existed since 1960, this field of studies - as a place for debate and research on organized units - did not emerge until 1990. This "slowness" to emerge reflects two larger splits, between knowledge production institutions and between tenants of different social initiatives. This article reveals the links between the content of the organizational studies, their institutional context, and the national development plan. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Vision et turbulence dans les PME qui s'internationalisent
Authors: ALLALI Brahim
Published: March 2024

This study explores the relationship between managers' vision, and the internationalization of their SMEs in a context of environment stability-instability. It shows that a clear vision is highly useful when the environment is unstable; it argues that the vision must be adjusted whenever it no longer gives the needed consistency to actions undertaken to implement internationalization. A typology of managers is also suggested in relation to their vision quality and the type of their surrounding environment. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Isten ráadás?
Authors: Tóth Sára
Published: March 2024

A mai társadalom és kultúra valláshoz való viszonyát a „posztszekuláris” jelzővel írhatjuk le, ami azt jelenti, hogy egyre növekszik az igény olyan beszédmódra, amely a vallásit és a világit nem tartja egymást kölcsönösen kizáró kategóriának sem a publikus, sem a privát szférában. Az egyházi diskurzusokban ugyanakkor továbbra is dualista szemlélet uralkodik: a szent és a világi élesen szétválik, s ez a protestáns spiritualitásban gyakran együtt jár a világ szigorú megítélésével. A szerző Paul Tillich teológiájának segítségével egy olyan protestáns szakramentális szemlélet alapjait vázolja fel, amely a részesedés és a meghaladás dialektikájára építve egyrészt hangsúlyozza Isten megmutatkozását minden teremtett dologban, másrészt a protestáns princípiumot, azaz Isten végtelen transzcendenciáját (másságát) is. Tillich szerint a szent és a világi „megbékítetlensége”, kettőssége a bűn következménye. A „transzhisztorikus visszaemlékezés és az utopikus elővételezés” ugyanakkor fel- és megidézi szent és világi, vallás és kultúra szakramentális egységét, Tillich szakkifejezésével a teonómiát. Tillich dimenzióelméletére és a hozzá kapcsolódó szimbólumelméletére támaszkodva dolgozza ki a teonómia fogalmát, a világi és a vallási kultúra kölcsönös áthatásának vízióját. Ez a „teonóm kereszteződés” valósíthatja meg az egyházi közösség és a hívő élet „átjárhatóságát”, szelíd jelenlétét a mai világban.
"Az Úr ott állt még Ábrahám előtt”
Authors: Somogyi László
Published: March 2024

Az 1Mózes 18-ban leírt történet a hagyomány több elemét ötvözi. A szöveg egyik érdekes része a 22. vers. A maszoréta szöveg szerint itt az áll: „Ábrahám még ott állt az Úr előtt”, de a Genesis Rabbah midrás szerint ez a szöveg tiqqun sopherim, azaz az írástudók módosítása. A midrás szerint „az Úr állt még ott Ábrahám előtt” változat az eredeti szöveg. Bár nincs írásos bizonyíték egy ilyen eredeti szöveg létezésére, érdekes megjegyezni, hogy összesen tizennyolc másik tiqqun sopherim jelenik meg a rabbinikus irodalomban. A tanulmány azt elemzi, mi lehetett az oka annak, hogy megszületett ez a feltételezés egy eredeti szövegről. A cikk megállapítja, hogy ez a jelenség a különböző vallási tapasztalatok létezésére vezethető vissza.
”Tänk om …”: Lekresponsiv undervisning om skriftspråkskunskap i förskoleklassen
Authors: Magnusson Maria
Published: March 2024

Artikeln presenterar en studie där lärare i förskoleklass, tillsammans med forskare, inkorporerar lek i undervisningen. Som teoretiskt perspektiv används Lekresponsiv undervisning, där lärare och elever växlar, i kommunikationen, mellan vedertagen kunskap (som är), fantasi (som om) och prospektivt tänkande (tänk om). Empirin utgörs av lärarnas videoobservationer, med fokus på skriftspråkliga aktiviteter. Syftet var att bidra med kunskap om hur eleverna kan göras delaktiga i en bokstavsaktivitet och hur prospektivt tänkande kan komma i spel. Studien ger exempel på hur eleverna engageras genom att i tanken abstrakt leka med hur det skulle kunna vara annorlunda (tänk om det vore …) och därigenom bekantar sig med, och börjar appropriera, den kulturella verktygslåda som det skrivna språket utgör. Resultatet visar hur olika former av prospektivt tänkande framträder i aktiviteten och hur eleverna därigenom praktiserar kreativitet, löser verkliga problem, engagerar sig i problemlösning, finner egna lösningar samt formulerar nya frågor och lösningar.
”What if …”: Play-responsive teaching about literacy in the preschool class
The article reports a study where teachers in the preschool class, together with a researcher, incorporate play in teaching. Theoretically, the study builds on Play-Responsive Early Childhood Education and Care (PRECEC). Central to PRECEC is communicative patterns where participants (children and teachers) shift between, and relate, culturally established knowledge (as is), fantasy (as if), and prospective thinking (what if). Data consist of video observations of written language activities. The aim was to contribute knowledge about how pupils can become involved in a letter activity and how prospective thinking is actualized and responded to. The pupils were engaged through imaginatively playing with the idea of how something could be different and thereby become familiar with, and begin to appropriate, the cultural toolbox that the written language constitutes. The result shows how different forms of prospective thinking appear in the activity and how the pupils practice creativity, solve real problems, get involved in problem solving, find their own solutions and formulate new questions and solutions.

CREATING ANCESTORS TO GUIDE US: HINTERLAND LIFE AT EARLY CLASSIC SAN LORENZO
Authors: Ingalls Victoria , Lindley Tiffany M.
Published: March 2024

During periods of transition in the Maya region, the importance of ancestors becomes increasingly central to both political legitimation and ritual expressions. From the Preclassic to Early Classic periods, the role of individual ancestors not only transformed civic-ceremonial centers and political legitimation, but also hinterland household and community ties to the land and landscape. At the community of Rancho San Lorenzo, near the larger centers of Actuncan and Xunantunich, broad Early Classic social transformations are reflected at both the household and community levels. Here, we examine this transition through Early Classic interments at two distinct settlement clusters: the San Lorenzo ritual center, SL-13, and in the largest household complex of Floodplain North (FPN), SL-63. We explore how the rituals of daily life bound ancestors to the landscape, the community, and created enduring places. Burials were used to construct sacred space, and through this ritual behavior families and lineages actively laid sacred claim to the land. At SL-13, multiple Early Classic burials create a communal ritual-religious connection between the living and the dead, sustaining political and economic rights within the community. At FPN the Early Classic burial is the only one of its kind in the entire settlement, suggesting it helped to establish the SL-63 household as the first family in the area. This household was also the wealthiest and had the most diverse temporal occupation history, likely due to the Early Classic establishment of a sacred landscape. The burials at these specific locations established enduring personal ties to the land anchored by ancestors.
RENEWING THE BELIZE ARCHAIC PROJECT IN 2019

Published: March 2024

The Archaic period in the Maya region represents six millennia (7000-1000 BCE) when non-ceramic-using peoples began to experiment with domesticates and reduce their settlement ranges. The single longest epoch of the Mesoamerican chronology, these early millennia are often overshadowed by the investigation of more recent peoples who built cities and have left evidence of elaborate artistic traditions. The Belize Archaic Project (BAP) began work over 20 years ago after the fortuitous discovery of aceramic deposits containing heavily patinated lithic tools and debitage under Postclassic settlements in the Freshwater Creek drainage of northern Belize. The 2019 field season marks a renewed phase of this project and initiates a program of systematic settlement survey and test excavations. This paper presents initial results of a systematic program of auguring that documented 87 Archaic-period sites and excavations at four of these locales during the summer of 2019. The renewed BAP investigates local land use patterns and foraging adaptation as well as the dynamic manner in which they affect (and are impacted by) climate change and evolving local forest and lacustrine ecology.
RAISING THE “BAAR” THROUGH IMPROVED METHOD AND THEORY: REINVIGORATING REGIONAL RESEARCH ON ARCHAIC OCCUPATIONS IN NORTHERN BELIZE

Although much research has explored the transition to early village life in the Maya Lowlands, comparatively less attention has focused on the ~6000-year period of Archaic occupation in the region. Initiatives like the Belize Archaic Archaeological Reconnaissance (BAAR) Project were ground-breaking forty years ago, and firmly established an Archaic presence in northern Belize. While the interpretations and lithic chronological sequences developed by the BAAR are problematic, the published results are still widely cited and support a growing body of new research on this period. Today, most BAAR sites fall within the boundaries of our project, the Belize River East Archaeology (BREA) Project, and we have recently reinvigorated regional research on the Archaic period in this area. Here we describe our work re-identifying and accurately geolocating some of the key Archaic sites established by the BAAR, and field strategies implemented to mitigate issues of stratigraphic sequencing and temporal anchoring. Hindsight and improved technological methods have helped us develop a multipronged, systematic surface and subsurface strategy for detecting, recording, and interpreting Archaic occupational scatters. Centered on the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, our project resumes research on the successful and sustainable Archaic adaptations that preceded the earliest Maya in northern Belize.

The current study reports on the Islamophobic discourses in the print media of Pakistan. Two cases the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat Bill controversy and the Asiya Masih Acquittal case examined to analyze the narratives constructed by the print media in the selected newspapers. The research objectives included exploring the dominant facets and manifestations during the coverage of the religious political party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan and how the media portrayed the image of TLP and its actors during the sit-in at the Faizabad region of Islamabad. Discourse analysis was employed as a research design, quantitatively studying the editorial and op-ed contents of the newspapers. The coding sheet was designed to collect the data by dividing it into various categories. However, the findings suggest that English dailies were more inclined towards islamophobia topics than Urdu dailies; they were more focused on independent opinion rather than editorial policy. The analysis depicts that the texts used by the media were Islamophobic in nature; we found that metaphors being used in the newspapers at the time of the sit-in conclude that Islamophobic discourses do exist in the print media of Pakistan.
