Beyond the Screen: Memory-Based Mechanisms and Personal Innovativeness in Voice Assistant Use
No full textInternational audienceThis study investigates how the mental retrieval of IT features influences innovative use behaviors with voice-activated devices (VADs). We conceptualize two memory-based constructs-IT feature recognition and IT feature recall-and examine their complex interplay. We theorize that their influence is moderated by users' personal innovativeness. Using a survey of 319 smart speaker owners, we found that both recognition and recall enhance innovative use, but their effects differ significantly based on an individual's disposition to innovate with IT. For users with high innovativeness, IT feature recognition drives innovation, while for those with low innovativeness, both recall and recognition contribute. These findings suggest that memory-based mechanisms are critical enablers of innovative use, highlighting the need for interfaces that support memory cues to foster broader feature utilization and innovative outcomes in voice-based interfaces
身契 (Shenqi – Contrat [de vente] de personne)
No full text吳志泰 (Wu Zhitai), 明清福建經濟契約文書選輯 (Ming Qing Fujian jingji qiyue wenshu xuanji – Anthologie de documents contractuels économiques de la province du Fujian d’époques Ming et Qing), Section 11, p. 795Ce court texte fait partie d’une vaste anthologie de documents contractuels d’époques Ming et Qing patiemment réunis, inventoriés et édités depuis 1958 par le département d'histoire de l’université normale de la province du Fujian (Fujian shifan daxue lishixi 福建師範大學歷史系).Depuis la seconde moitié du xxe siècle, les « documents contractuels » chinois (qiyue wenshu 契約文書) ont fourni un matériau riche et essentiel à l’écriture de l’histoire tant économique et sociale que juridique de la Chine moderne. Parmi la centaine de milliers de contrats aujourd’hui conservés à travers différentes institutions, le corpus le plus volumineux en nombre (plus de 50 000 documents) et le plus utilisé est assurément celui des « documents de Huizhou » (Huizhou wenshu 徽州文書), du nom de la préfecture de Huizhou (province de l’Anhui). Cependant, les contrats du Fujian furent parmi les premiers à être « découverts » et systématiquement collectés par les historiens après la mise au jour d’une centaine d’entre eux, dans le district de Yong’an 永安, par le célèbre historien Fu Yiling 傅衣淩 (1911-1988) en 1939. Outre les documents des provinces de l’Anhui et du Fujian, les historiens disposent aujourd’hui de collections importantes pour les provinces du Guangdong, du Guizhou, du Hebei, du Shanxi, du Sichuan, du Yunnan, et du Zhejiang
Public Attention to Gender Equality and Stock Market Returns
No full textInternational audienceWe examine the potential relationship between public attention to gender equality and returns on two U.S. gender‐diversity stock indices (the MSCI USA Women's Leadership and the Morningstar Women's Empowerment index) in comparison to their traditional counterparts (the MSCI USA and the Morningstar USA index) over the 2017–2022 period. We consider several measures of public attention to gender equality: (1) the U.S. daily Google Search Volume Index for different keywords related to gender equality, (2) the number of daily visits to specific Wikipedia pages devoted to gender equality, and (3) the daily number of news stories related to this phenomenon. We find a positive association between public attention to gender equality and returns on U.S. gender‐diversity stock indices. We attribute this result to an increasing investor preferences for owning stocks of companies that promote gender diversity in the workplace during periods of high public attention to gender equality. This finding, which is robust to a battery of alternative estimation methods and proxies, offers important managerial and public policy implications
“Limits” at the human–nature interface: a meta-ethnographic review
No full textInternational audienceSustainability issues are increasingly viewed through the lens of environmental and sociopolitical limits. However, so far there is no conceptual cartography of limit-related statements in the scientific literature dealing with nature–society relations. Using an inductive review method conducted within an interdisciplinary research team, we define ten synthetic constructs about limits at the nature–society interface. They reveal the vibrancy of this literature, which is extremely rich in terms of disciplinary backgrounds, conceptions of nature, themes of concern, and ways forward. We map out this diversity along two structuring axes—view of the science–policy interface and epistemological stance—and provide two distinct insights based on it. The first one argues for the progress in mutual knowledge and self-reflection among scholars investigating these multiple limits. The second suggests that a “limit field” is emerging, where systems thinking, transdisciplinarity, soft quantification, and integrative general-scope knowledge arise as legitimizing criteria
On the legal foundations of green bonds
No full textInternational audienceThis paper presents one of the first systematic analyses of the legal foundations of green bond issuance. We find that French and Scandinavian civil law origins are positively associated with green bond issuance, whereas English common law origin is negatively associated. These results are robust across alternative measures of green bond issuance, and two quasi-natural experiments. We further show that stronger creditor-rights protection (consistent with stakeholder theory) significantly enhances green bond issuance, while greater financial liberalization (consistent with financial liberalization theory) significantly reduces it. Finally, we find that the positive impact of green bond issuance on renewable energy generation and environmental project financing is stronger under French, Scandinavian, and German civil law origins, and weaker under English common law. Taken together, these findings contribute to debates on firms' ethical responsibilities in addressing climate change and carbon dioxide emissions, and highlight the critical role of legal systems in financing the climate transition
Combining CSR and political activities of MNCs through meta-organizations: the case of plastic pollution in emerging countries
No full textInternational audienceThis chapter examines how multinational corporations (MNCs) collectively address plastic pollution in emerging economies through meta-organizations. While existing literature highlights the limitations of voluntary corporate action, we analyse how MNCs leverage collective platforms to promote Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and influence regulatory processes. Drawing on five case studies from West Africa and Southeast Asia, we show that subsidiaries of MNCs create meta-organizations that combine corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts with political action. At the inter-organizational level, these platforms support a specific form of mandatory regulation that we define as "hybrid." Their effectiveness is contingent on national political dynamics and the involvement of international organizations. We contribute to the literature on political CSR, meta-organizations, and grand challenges by highlighting how firms pursue regulatory solutions through collective structures under conditions of weak governance
Another World Is Possible—It Is Already Here: A Review and Research Agenda on Alternative Organizing
No full textInternational audienceAmid multiple crises on a planetary scale, alternative organizing offers plural possibilities for reconfiguring societal relations and bringing into being a more livable world. Despite growing interest, the literature on alternative organizing remains fragmented, marked by a narrow and selective integration of disciplinary and geographic knowledge communities. This fragmentation leads to ambiguities and contradictions in concepts and theory development. To address these issues, we review 50 years of research on alternative organizing, following three steps. First, we map the genealogy of research on alternative organizing, identify its relations with institutional orders, and distinguish key perspectives. Second, we develop an integrative framework that (a) identifies three constitutive dimensions of alternative organizing—imaginaries, alterity, and subjectivities—and (b) synthesizes the processes, frictions, and outcomes for societal transformation. Drawing on this framework, we suggest avenues to attune to the ways alternative organizing unsettles dominant orders and cultivates the present and future, other-wise
Comment adopter le bon rôle et la bonne posture managériale en toute circonstance ? Quand le contexte précède la posture : une lecture fonctionnelle du management: Quand le contexte précède la posture : une lecture fonctionnelle du management
No full textManagement literature offers numerous models of managerial postures, generally indexed to the degree of employee autonomy. While these models provide useful operational guidelines, they tend to isolate postures from their context of emergence and to consider them primarily as behavioral choices.This article proposes a conceptual re-reading of management based on the distinction between context, managerial role, and posture, and introduces the notion of employee maturity as an explanatory variable extending beyond autonomy. Three managerial contexts are identified—crisis, improvement, and routine—each associated with a specific managerial role. Managerial postures are then understood as situated interpretations of these roles, adjusted not only to employee autonomy but to their level of maturity.The article also extends the traditional repertoire of managerial postures by introducing a consultative posture and outlines a methodological perspective through the design of a managerial self-positioning tool based on the articulation of context, role, and posture.La littérature managériale propose de nombreux modèles de postures managériales, généralement indexés au degré d'autonomie des collaborateurs. Si ces modèles offrent des repères opérationnels utiles, ils tendent toutefois à isoler les postures de leur contexte d'émergence et à les considérer comme des choix essentiellement comportementaux.Cette approche est généralement qualifiée de management situationnel. Elle repose sur l'idée que le manager doit adapter sa posture aux situations rencontrées, ces situations étant principalement appréhendées à travers le degré d'autonomie des collaborateurs. La situation n'est alors pas définie comme un contexte organisationnel objectivable, mais comme un état des collaborateurs, apprécié au regard de leur compétence et de leur motivation.La proposition développée dans cet article consiste à opérer un déplacement conceptuel, en passant d'un manager situationnel à un manager contextuel. Il ne s'agit plus d'adapter prioritairement les postures à des degrés d'autonomie, mais de caractériser explicitement les contextes managériaux dans lesquels le manager agit. Trois contextes sont ainsi distingués -crise, amélioration et routine -lesquels induisent mécaniquement des rôles managériaux spécifiques. Ces rôles peuvent ensuite être interprétés à travers cinq postures managériales, non plus en fonction du seul degré d'autonomie des collaborateurs, mais de leur degré de maturité. L'article propose également une extension du répertoire classique des postures managériales par l'introduction d'une posture consultative. Enfin, une ouverture méthodologique est esquissée à travers la conception d'un outil d'autopositionnement managérial fondé sur l'articulation contexte-rôle-posture.</div
