The impact of green public finance and green taxes on environmental and non-environmental innovation
No full textInternational audienceThis article investigates the impact of green public finance and green taxes on total, environmental, and non-environmental innovation in developed economies from 1994 to 2019. The findings reveal that in the short run, these variables do not significantly influence any of the three types of innovation. However, over the long run, green taxes are found to enhance both environmental and non-environmental innovation, whereas green public finance only promotes environmental innovation. Additionally, the Granger non-causality test indicates that past values of green taxes can predict future values across all three categories of innovation. The policy implications of this research are significant: increasing allocations toward green public finance and implementing green taxes can accelerate the development of various technologies, thereby contributing to the achievement of carbon neutrality in developed economies. Nonetheless, policymakers should justify the adoption of these measures by focusing on their positive long-term impacts on innovation
The Interpretation of Organizational Ontologies
No full textInternational audienceWhat does it mean for an organization “to exist”? Building upon the philosophical notion of ontologies as theories of existence, I outline a theory of organizational ontology supported by the premise that organizations contain implicit existential conventions that provide their members with an understanding of what their joint existence is. This study aims to answer two questions. First, what constitutes an organizational ontology? Second, how can this be accessed and represented? Using a methodology informed by cultural interpretation, I ground this study empirically in ethnographic fieldwork at a not-for-profit organization devoted to teaching math to “left behind” children
Hybrid black-box classification for customer churn prediction with segmented interpretability analysis
No full textInternational audienceCustomer retention management relies on advanced analytics for decision making. Decision makers in this area require methods that are capable of accurately predicting which customers are likely to churn and that allow to discover drivers of customer churn. As a result, customer churn prediction models are frequently evaluated based on both their predictive performance and their capacity to extract meaningful insights from the models. In this paper, we extend hybrid segmented models for customer churn prediction by incorporating powerful models that can capture non-linearities. To ensure the interpretability of such segmented hybrid models, we introduce a novel model-agnostic approach that extends SHAP. We extensively benchmark the proposed methods on 14 customer churn datasets on their predictive performance. The interpretability aspect of the new model-agnostic approach for interpreting hybrid segmented models is illustrated using a case study. Our contributions to decision making literature are threefold. First, we introduce new hybrid segmented models as powerful tools for decision makers to boost predictive performance. Second, we provide insights in the relative predictive performance by an extensive benchmarking study that compares the new hybrid segmented methods with their base models and existing hybrid models. Third, we propose a model-agnostic tool for segmented hybrid models that provide decision makers with a tool to gain insights for any hybrid segmented model and illustrate it on a case study. Although we focus on customer retention management in this study, this paper is also relevant for decision makers that rely on predictive modeling for other tasks
The Other Organization: Heterotopia, management and entrepreneurship
No full textInternational audienceHistorically, organizations have been viewed as ordered places and times that havelegitimized the hand that holds back, and that formalizes structured, institutionalized ways of saying and doing. Against this backdrop, we want to see the more recent attention to the entrepreneurial as a reason to conceptualize and think the new organization that emerges from within the existing organization as the ‘other organization,’ accomplishedthrough heterotopia. We propose that such creation of organization, the process of entrepreneurial emergence, can be thought as part of organizations: organization entails both the already organized and the emergent; and organization-creation efforts are tactically exploring the cracks, the interstices, of the already organized. The ‘other organization’ is actualized within the heterotopic and ephemeral space opened by such efforts. Bringing heterotopic/heterochronic space-time back into the study of organizations requires that we immerse ourselves in the spaces of resistance, emergence and play. This essay – hopefully, also playfully – does that
Moving Forward with GWO
No full textInternational audienceAs we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Gender, Work and Organization (GWO), we are excited to welcome our readers to a new chapter of the journal. With a new leadership team of three Editors-in-Chief at the helm, we are poised to build upon the strong foundation laid by a line of distinguished scholars who have served as Editors-in-Chief, each leaving an indelible mark on the journal's trajectory and shaping its development in unique and significant ways. We extend our sincere gratitude to previous editors in chief and editorial teams, including the outgoing editors, Banu Ozkazanc-Pan and Alison Pullen, for their dedication and leadership, which has been instrumental in elevating GWO to its current quality levels. We are looking forward to building on the work of the many contributors to date, and we intend to continue pushing GWO to new heights
Long-Term Competition for Product Awareness with Learning from Friends
No full textInternational audienceWe study a dynamic model of price competition with differentiated products in which new generations of consumers acquire information about available products from their friends of previous generations. The social network, which links consumers across generations, affects the evolution of consumers' awareness of products and firms' long-term (steady-state) market shares. Focusing on steady-state equilibria, we examine how the structure of the social network—including connectivity and homophily—influences market shares, pricing, and welfare
Trust, Risk, Privacy and Security in e-Government Use: Insights from a MASEM Analysis
No full textInternational audienceDespite considerable research on the factors influencing the use of e-government, citizens are apprehensive of e-government services due to the concerns primarily related to trust, risk, security and privacy. This study presents a meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) analysis of the findings reported by 68 prior empirical studies on e-government adoption. Specifically, the model examined the direct effects of trust in government, trust in internet, perceived risk, and perceived privacy and security on e-government trust, and its impact on users’ behavioral intention to use e-government. The findings bear significant theoretical and practical implications

How the information content of integrated reporting flows into the stock market
No full textInternational audienceAccording to its advocates, integrated reporting (IR) aims to enhance firms' information environment by placing financial reporting into a much broader perspective in which interrelated non‐financial information of firms' activities are taken into consideration. We examine whether this intended outcome of IR embeds into the stock pricing process using a sample of South African listed firms that mandatorily adopted IR in 2011. Unlike previous studies that explore market valuation implications of IR, we examine the channel through which the IR‐related information flows into firm value. Specifically, we quantify the effects of revisions of expectation about future cash flows (prompted by financial reporting information), revisions of expectation about discount rates (prompted by non‐financial reporting information) and their interconnectedness. We hypothesize and empirically show that the adoption of an IR approach prompted greater market revisions of expectations about future discount rates and a stronger interconnectedness between market revisions of expectations about future cash flows and discount rates. Thus, the change in the stock pricing process after the adoption of IR is determined by non‐financial reporting information and its strong interconnectedness with financial reporting information. We also show that our results are stronger for firms with greater earnings opacity, suggesting that investors find IR more useful when firms' financial reporting is opaque. Results indicate to researchers, practitioners and regulators that IR enhances the firm‐level information environment by providing informative non‐financial reporting which is also well integrated with financial reporting
