Entrepreneurial Masculinity: A Fatherhood Perspective
No full textInternational audienceThis article investigates how fatherhood (or the prospect thereof) shapes entrepreneurial masculinities. Drawing on constructivist grounded theory, we analyze 22 life story interviews with Finnish men technology founders and identify three entrepreneurial masculinities enacted by men to accommodate concurrent normative ideals at the intersection of work and family life. These entrepreneurial masculinities alternatively maintain, restructure, and resist entrepreneurial and parental hegemonic masculinities, and are subject to generational and situational scripts. We contribute to the gender and entrepreneurship literature by revealing that the neoliberal new father discourse blurs hegemonic masculinities leading entrepreneurial masculinities to emerge as hybrid hegemonic masculinities
Patient satisfaction with Therapeutic Education in Oncology: antecedents, consequences, and the moderating effect of perceived value
No full textInternational audienceThis research aims to deepen our understanding of patients’ satisfaction with therapeutic patient education (TPE) in oncology. The research model proposed was tested, with structural equation modeling, on 207 French breast-cancer patients who participated in a TPE program. The results confirm that post-TPE empowerment and relational proximity to the TPE team are two major antecedents of patient’s satisfaction—and attitude and word-of-mouth toward TPE are two important consequences of this concept of satisfaction. However, the established relationships are moderated by the patients’ profiles (i.e., utilitarian believers, passionate followers, or holistic followers) in terms of the perceived value of their own experience of patient education. These results will enable stakeholders to adapt their TPE promotion strategies to the profiles of the patients. The study will also help to demonstrate and highlight the patient benefits of TPE to various stakeholders and thus will favor access to this personalized care practice, which is essential in the management of chronic diseases, but is still limited in oncology
The Transformation of Digital Strategy and Value Creation in Omnichannel Organisations: The Case of the Gambling Industry
No full textInternational audienceDigital transformation strategy (DTS) involves redesigning various organisational operations to encompass digital technologies and achieve business objectives. In this study, we explored digital strategy and value creation shifts in omnichannel organisations that aimed to deliver seamless online and on-premises (dual-mode) customer experiences. Using comprehensive data on the gambling industry, we focused on the long-term effects of dynamic relationships among multiple DTS events over time. Building on digital strategy and value-creation theory, we observed and analysed organisational changes linked to technological shifts in omnichannel organisations during turbulent times and disruptions. Herein, we discuss the balance between online and on-premises service channels in terms of a DTS pathway, viewing it as a dual-mode value-creation process. By exploring this dual-mode value-creation process, we contribute to DTS theory and omnichannel operations. Furthermore, we enhance theory by unveiling the impact of shifting digital strategy perspectives on the transformation of omnichannel organisations in dynamic and disruptive business environments. We also present strategic propositions for planning and realising DTS requirements for omnichannel service providers in a broad context
Multi-capital accounting models: full cost accounting and sustainability assessment models
No full textUnderstanding multicapital accounting models requires familiarity with the methods used to measure environmentaland social issues and the main valuation methods applied.Chapter One sets out the general methodological frameworks for the two types of multi-issue accounting.The next two chapters present the two key stages common to these approaches: the collection of dataand selected indicators, followed by the valuation methods.Chapters four and five take up the initiatives identified in the Chair’s first report and discuss them in moredetail. Chapter 6 focuses on two remarkable experiments: The Crown Estate and Yorkshire Water. Eachone has, in its own way, developed specific methodologies, and we will be looking at their features andmeanings in detail. To understand the disparity in the information available, it is important to note thatthese initiatives, when made public, are generally aiming to meet one or both of the following objectives:1/ all of them are seeking to inform stakeholders, 2/ those published in collaboration with consultancyfirms are also seeking to develop and demonstrate a method. As such, the information provided varies indetail, and is generally intended to shed a positive light on the organisation’s actions and commitmentto the environment. It is therefore necessary to take a critical look at the content of this information(scope of the study, completeness, consideration of uncertainties, transparency on the robustness of theassumptions used), as well as the methods used.The conclusion will offer an analysis of the contribution of the methods to consideration of the environment.Is the aim of these calculations to ensure that the natural systems on which we depend are maintained, orto attach a value to them that is commensurate with the reservoir of utility they represent?Finally, this report is characterised by a profusion of annexes that provide a summary of the scope ofanalysis, accounting and communication methods used in the various experiments. Annexes A and B arededicated to individual experiment items. Annex C puts the scope and methods of all the experimentsstudied in this report into perspective. Lastly, Annex D enables you to identify, for each different issue(financial, environmental, social or human), the different indicators and methods used in this overview
Quantifying the short-term asymmetric effects of renewable energy on the electricity merit-order curve
No full textInternational audienceAmidst the growing significance of renewable energy, this paper examines the asymmetric effects of renewable energy on electricity prices and transmission flows in the Nordics using hourly electricity data. Employing a novel panel asymmetric fixed-effects method, we quantify the non-linear impact of renewable generation technologies on the electricity supply curve. Contrary to previous research, our analysis challenges the assumption of wind having symmetric effects in electricity markets. Specifically, we suggest that an increase in renewable energy cannot lead to price reductions of the same magnitude as the price increases caused by a decrease in wind. In addition, we investigate interconnections between regions and explore asymmetries in transmission flows due to wind generation. Our findings reveal the presence of asymmetric effects in the Nordic electricity market, highlighting their significance in achieving a secure electricity system. These results offer valuable insights for governments, policymakers, and market participants for optimizing the electricity generation mix, prioritizing flexible systems, and making informed investment decisions
Why do Citizens Choose to Read Fact-Checks in the Context of the Russian War in Ukraine? The Role of Directional and Accuracy Motivations in Nineteen Democracies
No full textInternational audienceThe recent surge of false information accompanying the Russian invasion of Ukraine has re-emphasized the need for interventions to counteract disinformation. While fact-checking is a widely used intervention, we know little about citizen motivations to read fact-checks. We tested theoretical predictions related to accuracy-motivated goals (i.e., seeking to know the truth) versus directionally-motivated goals (i.e., seeking to confirm existing beliefs) by analyzing original survey data ( n = 19,037) collected in early April to late May 2022 in nineteen countries, namely Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA. Survey participants read ten statements about the Russian war in Ukraine and could opt to see fact-checks for each of these statements. Results of mixed models for three-level hierarchical data (level 1: statements, level 2: individuals, and level 3: countries) showed that accuracy motivations were better explanations than directional motivations for the decision to read fact-checks about the Russian war in Ukraine
Neurodiversity and HRM: a practice-based review and research agenda
No full textInternational audiencePurpose This article provides an overview of lessons we can learn from human resource (HR) policies and practices related to neurodiversity. Design/methodology/approach We conducted a practice-based review using information obtained from organizations’ websites, summarized the information and reflected on how scholars can continue to advance this area of research based on what is happening in practice. Findings The review provided a selective overview of programs and practices per HR cluster: selection and recruitment; onboarding, integration and retention; job design; flexible work options and working remotely; training; employee resource groups (ESGs) and support. The review provides a description of practices and policies implemented within organizations that focus on neurodiversity among employees. Originality/value Our review showed that organizations have a multitude of HR practices and policies in place to include neurodivergent individuals in their workforces, though many of these have not been empirically investigated. Sharing this knowledge is important so that research insights and practice can reciprocally influence one another. We did a practice-based review on neurodiversity and HRM to identify what is happening in practice and what scholars can learn from this
When Buffett Meets Bollinger: An Integrated Approach to Fundamental and Technical Analysis
No full textInternational audienceMotivated by the implication of return extrapolation models that a joint consideration of past price changes and firm fundamentals could efficiently identify stock mispricing, we propose an integrated approach that combines fundamental and technical information.This integrated approach generates substantial economic gains, which are comparable to those of strategies double-sorted on characteristics related to high turnover and trading costs and state-of-the-art machine learning strategies in existing studies. The performance net of transaction costs is still attractive. Simple transaction cost mitigation approaches could further enhance the performance of the integrated approach by reducing portfolio turnover. Consistent with behavioral models, limits to arbitrage and information asymmetry play a significant role in explaining the super performance of this integrated approach.</div
Economic policy uncertainty and short-term reversals
No full textInternational audienceIn this article, we provide new evidence on the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on asset pricing. Specifically, we find that short-term return reversals are stronger following high-EPU periods, likely due to an uncertainty-induced decrease in stock market liquidity. However, EPU does not appear to have a significant effect on accounting-based anomalies, possibly because these anomalies are not driven by stock illiquidity. Our findings suggest that EPU affects short-term asset prices mainly through stock liquidity. However, EPU may contain incremental information beyond stock liquidity. Moreover, the arrival of the latest fundamental information could significantly mitigate the effect of EPU on short-term reversals.</div
Carbon footprint tracking apps: The spillover effects of feedback and goal-activating appeals.
No full textInternational audienceInnovative information technology such as a Carbon Footprint Tracking App can contribute to achieve global climate targets like the 2°C target of the Paris Agreement. This is particularly relevant for countries with strong socio-economic development, which often have high individual carbon footprints but also possess the technological advancements to help mitigate these emissions. This paper explores how carbon footprint feedback and goal-oriented appeals affect consumers' carbon emissions. Focusing on interventions in the food and mobility domains, this research distinguishes the impact of self-related and society-related goals across these focal domains and examines spillover effects on heating and other household activities. Using a Carbon Footprint Tracking App in a longitudinal experimental study with 210 participants over three waves, the following key findings emerge. First, goal activation affects carbon emissions differently across consumption domains. Second, while the obtained evidence points to spillover across domains, the appeals' effectiveness within the same domain is contingent on individual goal prioritization. In particular, behavioral interventions need to target specific goals within each domain, particularly normative and moral goals in the food domain, and hedonic and cost-related goals in the mobility domain.Innovative information technology such as a Carbon Footprint Tracking App can contribute to achieve globalclimate targets like the 2 ◦C target of the Paris Agreement.
