Another World is Possible, It's Already Here: A Review and Research Agenda on Alternative Organizing
No full textInternational audienceAmidst multiple crises on a planetary scale, alternative organizing offers plural possibilities for reconfiguring societal relations and bringing into being a more liveable 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 organizingimaginaries, 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
The Logistics Emergency Team: Pioneering and Sustaining a New Partnership Model
No full textMasterThe Logistics Emergency Team (LET) case explores the formation and evolution of a multi-company cross-sector partnership to deploy pro bono logistics services to support a coordinated humanitarian disaster-response. It follows the complex journey of transforming an abstract concept into an operational alliance that aligns corporate competitors and bridges the business-humanitarian divide. The case offers insights into collaborative partnership management at the collective and individual company level, illustrating how the scope expanded from natural disaster response to include disaster preparedness and complex emergencies. This required creativity, technology and innovation, while navigating the inherent constraints of each sector. By the end of 2024, with a strong record of successful deployments and amid shifts in the humanitarian landscape, the partners faced a critical decision: whether to continue, expand, or restructure for the future
Redefining organizational ethics through the lens of life-and-death
No full textInternational audienceWe share the world we live and die in with others, in ways that are organized and disorganized. The authors of this special issue address life-and-death as a compound term, foregrounding the vital and deadly outcomes of (dis)organization and their (business) ethics implications as they play out in the context of growing inequalities and ongoing health, geopolitical, environmental, refugee crises and egregious war crimes. Organizations and organizing can shape such contexts by engaging in the ethics of care and politics of inclusivity, redefining “essential” or “front line” work, managing relationships between bodily health and work, or ethically relating to non-human forms of life. Considering the roles of organizations in terms of life-and-death can help scholars redefine organizations and/in/for/with the world by stressing the ethical dimensions of organizing for life which involves human and other-than-human relatedness and the obligation of care for all forms of life
La méritocratie de la préservation : repenser le mérite au-delà de la production
No full textInternational audienceMeritocracy is often discussed as an issue of distributive justice – that is, as the fair allocation of resources. Capitalist organizations are frequently structured around meritocracy, rewarding people hierarchically according to their talent and hard work. Amid concerns that these organizations also contribute to sustaining the ecological crisis, how does meritocracy contribute to, or maintain, environmental damage? In this Connexion piece, we explore this issue. Our analysis identifies a dominant system embedded within capitalism, which we call the Meritocracy of Production. This system views the world primarily as a collection of exploitable resources, rewarding maximization, efficiency and innovative exploitation aimed at unlimited outputs, often justifying extensive resource extraction with little regard for socio-ecological consequences. By contrast, we discuss practices (e.g. bricolage, upcycling, low-tech) that exemplify a Meritocracy of Preservation. This alternative emphasizes sustainable co-existence and collective robustness, valuing dignified, respectful and interdependent relations within ecological and social environments. It rewards practices that sustainably contribute to co-habitation and co-existence. We argue these two meritocratic systems are ontologically equivalent, each offering distinct worldviews, narratives and modes of engagement with the world. People and organizations navigate tensions between these poles by borrowing discursive and representational elements from both systems. While these elements simultaneously influence everyday practices, capitalist organizations are heavily skewed toward the Meritocracy of Production, placing little emphasis on valuing efforts of dynamic preservation—that is, on amplifying the worth and dignity of multiple things-in-the-world, not as a return to a pristine past, but as their ongoing rearrangements to enable their cohabitation. Recognizing this interplay highlights the need to shift towards greater ecological balance and environmental responsibility.La méritocratie est souvent abordée comme une question de justice distributive, c’est-à-dire comme une allocation équitable des ressources. Les organisations capitalistes sont fréquemment structurées autour de la méritocratie, récompensant les individus de manière hiérarchique en fonction de leur talent et de leur travail. Alors que ces organisations sont également mises en cause pour leur contribution au maintien de la crise écologique, comment la méritocratie participe-t-elle aux dommages environnementaux, ou les perpétue-t-elle ? Dans cet article de Connexion, nous explorons cette question. Notre analyse met en évidence un système dominant inscrit dans le capitalisme, que nous appelons la méritocratie de la production. Ce système considère le monde avant tout comme un ensemble de ressources exploitables et valorise la maximisation, l’efficacité et l’exploitation innovante orientées vers une production illimitée, justifiant souvent une extraction intensive des ressources sans réelle prise en compte des conséquences socio-écologiques. À l’inverse, nous examinons des pratiques (par exemple le bricolage, l’upcycling, le low-tech) qui illustrent une méritocratie de la préservation. Cette alternative met l’accent sur une coexistence durable et une robustesse collective, en valorisant des relations dignes, respectueuses et interdépendantes au sein des environnements écologiques et sociaux. Elle récompense les pratiques qui contribuent de manière durable à la cohabitation et à la coexistence. Nous soutenons que ces deux systèmes méritocratiques sont ontologiquement équivalents, chacun proposant des visions du monde, des récits et des modes d’engagement distincts avec celui-ci. Les individus et les organisations naviguent entre ces pôles en empruntant des éléments discursifs et représentationnels à chacun des deux systèmes. Bien que ces éléments influencent simultanément les pratiques quotidiennes, les organisations capitalistes restent fortement orientées vers la méritocratie de la production, accordant peu d’importance à la valorisation des efforts de préservation dynamique — c’est-à-dire à l’amplification de la valeur et de la dignité de multiples entités-au-monde, non pas comme un retour à un passé pristine, mais comme des réagencements continus permettant leur cohabitation. Reconnaître cette interaction met en lumière la nécessité d’un déplacement vers un plus grand équilibre écologique et une responsabilité environnementale accrue
Understanding Social Comparison Dynamics on Social Media: A Qualitative Examination of Individual and Platform Characteristics
No full textInternational audienceAs social media platforms continue to expand and attract more users, there is growing interest among scholars and policymakers to understand their impact on individuals. Drawing on self‐presentation and social comparison theories, this study explores the complex dynamics of social comparison within the context of social media, aiming to identify key individual and platform characteristics that influence this phenomenon. The methodology uses two waves of qualitative studies with diverse respondent profiles to understand the complexities of social comparison across various demographic groups. Study 1 consists of 39 individual semi‐structured interviews and a thematic analysis while study 2 is made of eight case studies. The findings highlight the complex interplay of factors such as gender, age, self‐esteem, media literacy, and the type of content consumed in shaping user experiences of social comparison. Additionally, an integrative framework of the antecedents and consequences of social comparison is proposed. By providing a nuanced comprehension of these mechanisms, this research contributes to theoretical advancements and managerial implications of navigating the complexities of online social dynamics
La Préservation Créative : Un Cadre Conceptuel de la Créativité au service de la Décroissance
No full textInternational audienceAgainst the backdrop of the increasing depletion of the planet's ecological 'resources' and endemic environmental problems, the view of creativity as servicing the ideal of infinite economic growth has become problematic. We need, instead, to explore how creativity can contribute to grounding our intentions and actions within an ongoing and mutually shaping engagement and cohabitation between people and things-in-the-world. To explore this issue, we introduce the creative preservation framework. It allows to study practices which have received little attention in the literature to date, despite ensuring continuity, preventing deterioration, and valuing what already exists. Our working definition of creative preservation refers to practices of creation that prevent the decay of existing materials and ideas by updating and adapting them, or re-expressing them in another way through the exploration of their affordances. We examine four practices that reflect non-exhaustive forms of creative preservation practices: upcycling, bricolage, low-tech, and craft. The article opens with an ethos of creative preservation in the context of degrowth. It marks a first step towards creative practices that, rather than viewing us as occupants of the world, make us inhabitants of it, thereby contributing to reimagining new modes of relationality.Sur fond d’épuisement croissant des « ressources » écologiques de la planète et de problèmes environnementaux endémiques, la conception de la créativité comme moteur d’un idéal de croissance économique infinie devient problématique. Il nous faut, au contraire, explorer comment la créativité peut contribuer à ancrer nos intentions et nos actions dans une relation continue et réciproque d’engagement et de cohabitation entre les êtres humains et les choses du monde. Pour aborder cette question, nous introduisons le cadre conceptuel de la préservation créative. Celui-ci permet d’étudier des pratiques encore peu explorées dans la littérature, bien qu’elles assurent la continuité, préviennent la détérioration et valorisent ce qui existe déjà. Notre définition de travail de la préservation créative renvoie à des pratiques de création qui empêchent la dégradation de matériaux ou d’idées existants en les actualisant, en les adaptant ou en les réinterprétant autrement, à travers l’exploration de leurs potentialités. Nous examinons quatre pratiques illustrant différentes formes — non exhaustives — de préservation créative : l’upcycling (revalorisation), le bricolage, la low-tech (technologie frugale) et l’artisanat. L’article s’ouvre sur un ethos de la préservation créative dans le contexte de la décroissance. Il constitue une première étape vers des pratiques créatives qui, plutôt que de nous concevoir comme de simples occupants du monde, nous envisagent comme des habitants de celui-ci — contribuant ainsi à réimaginer de nouvelles formes de relationnalité
