Microeconomic degrowth: The case of Community Supported Agriculture
No full textInternational audienceIn this paper, we attempt to build a new microeconomic approach that could be considered as a basis of the degrowth macroeconomic view. As degrowth is a critique of the dominant macroeconomic model of the endless search for economic growth, its microeconomic foundations can be built by searching a relevant grass-root economic initiative to theorise. Our approach is based upon the case study research of a self-harvesting Community Supported Agriculture in Belgium. The mainstream microeconomic model is based on the well-known Homo economicus assumption of individual self-interest and competitive behaviour. By contrast, our model is based on a holistic approach of producers and consumers, based upon trust, cooperation and ecologically responsible behaviours. This contribution participates to the flourishing literature on degrowth in Ecological Economics. We begin by reviewing the debate on degrowth and economic behaviour. We discuss the case study and its accounting expression that departs from the capitalist profit-seeking model. We conclude by explaining the limits and challenges of our model that implements degrowth on a small scale and in a capitalist environment.

Cultures of caste and rural development in the social network of a south indian village
No full textInternational audienceCultures of caste in much of rural India have become entangled with institutions of rural development. In community-driven development, emphasis on "local resource persons" and "community spokespersons" has created new opportunities for brokerage and patronage within some villages, which interact with existing forms of authority and community afforded by caste identity and intra-caste headmanship. In this article, we study how these entangled cultures of caste and development translate into social network structures using data on friendship ties from a south Indian village. We find that although caste continues to be important in shaping community structures and leadership in the village's network, its influence varies across different communities. This fluidity of caste's influence on community network structures is argued to be the result of multiple distinct yet partially overlapping cultural-political forces, which include sharedness afforded by caste identity and new forms of difference and inequality effected through rural development
L'accessibilité à l'Institut Mines-Télécom
No full textInternational audienceÉtablissement public dédié à l'enseignement supérieur, la recherche et l'innovation dans les domaines de l'ingénierie et du numérique, l'IMT est composé de 12 grandes écoles qui accueillent 12 500 étudiant-e-s et emploient 4 500 personnes. 2Comme toute entreprise publique l'IMT est soumis aux obligations de la loi du 11 février 2005 pour " l'égalité des droits et des chances, la participation et la citoyenneté des personnes handicapées ". Pour y répondre, il comporte une " Mission Handicap " pilotée par Marie-Sophie Sémété, avec qui nous avons pu nous entretenir pour les besoins de cet article et nous la remercions. Le plan d'action de l'Institut est piloté par un Comité de Suivi pour l'intégration des travailleurs handicapés composé de 11 membres en lien avec les partenaires sociaux..
New employment experiences and trajectories between salary-earning and entrepreneurs
No full textInternational audienceTraditionally, as well as in pop culture, entrepreneurship is conceived of as opposed to salary-earning, and decision from being a salaried employee to entrepreneur as a great leap. However, entrepreneurship studies and new employment forms blur this border between two worlds and the plunging from one world to the other. A study is conducted on employees working at this frontier: French umbrella professionals (salariés portés), inquiring qualitatively about their conception of entrepreneurship, their experience of crossing and of their new condition, as well as their aspirations, fears and values. No leap in activity was found, but there was the feeling of having shifted to another mental universe. The respondents had all the feeling of being entrepreneurs without creating new products, markets or business ventures. They enjoy their full engagement in their work and experience a different relation to time. Considering themselves as entrepreneurs grants them with a desirable social status, but underscores their risky position and an increased portion of their life to be devoted to work. This study aims at providing guidance for public policies fostering employment through entrepreneurship and for workers considering such a working hybrid status. It also puts into perspective the classical contours of entrepreneurship and salaried positions and call for closer examination of the new forms of employment
La coopétition, une stratégie stabilisatrice des filières traditionnelles ? Une histoire raisonnée de l'indication géographique protégée " Volailles fermières des Landes "
No full textFNEGE 4National audienceWhile co-opetition has been researched significantly in the technology sector, it is also present in many other sectors of activity where firms require access to complementary resources to remain competitive. This is the case in the agri-food business which provides the setting for the case study used in this article to investigate how actors in a specific food chain engage in co-opetition. Analysis of the collective process involved in obtaining the European food label of Protected Geographic Indication generates insight into the balancing of cooperation and competition. On-going tensions suggest limits to co-opetition that regularly threaten to undermine the co-operative aspect when the outcome of co-opetition restrains the competitive freedom of certain actors to a degree that is considered greater than the benefits its confers. Comparing the results of the case study to those obtained in the technology sector allow us to examine the extent to which co-opetition strategies can have a stabilizing effect on the competitive dynamics in a more traditional sector. Geographical maps and managerial toolsLa coopetición ha sido objeto de numerosas investigaciones en los sectores tecnológicos. Pero se refiere también a muchos sectores en los cuales las empresas necesitan recursos complementarios para seguir siendo competitivas. Este es el caso del sector agroalimentario, sobre el cual aún faltan estudios empíricos a este respecto.A partir del estudio del caso de la indicación geográfica protegida (IGP) “Aves de corral granjeras de la Landas” (VFL, por sus iniciales en francés), se analizan, por una parte, la forma en que los protagonistas de un sector comprometido con un proceso de certificación, tal como una IGP, buscan la justa medida entre la cooperación y la competencia y, por otra parte, el impacto de esta búsqueda en la sostenibilidad de una IGP. Pondremos en perspectiva los resultados de un plan de historia razonada efectuado en este sector con los resultados obtenidos en sectores tecnológicos, lo que nos permitirá aportar elementos de respuesta a la pregunta del efecto estabilizador (o no) de una estrategia de coopetición en un sector tradicional, en nuestro caso, el sector agroalimentario.La coopétition fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches portant sur des secteurs technologiques. Mais elle concerne également de nombreux autres secteurs dans lesquels les entreprises ont un besoin de ressources complémentaires pour rester compétitives. C’est le cas de l’agro-alimentaire, qui est pourtant aujourd’hui encore en manque d’études empiriques à ce sujet. Dans cet article, à partir de l’étude du cas de l’IGP « Volailles fermières des Landes » (VFL), nous nous interrogerons, d’une part, sur la façon dont les acteurs d’une filière engagée dans un processus de labellisation telle qu’une IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) gèrent le nécessaire arbitrage entre la coopération et la concurrence et, d’autre part, sur l’impact de cet arbitrage sur la pérennisation d’une IGP. Nous mettrons en perspective les résultats d’une démarche d’histoire raisonnée effectuée dans le contexte de cette filière avec ceux obtenus dans les secteurs technologiques, ce qui nous permettra d’apporter des éléments de réponse à la question de l’effet stabilisateur (ou non) d’une stratégie de coopétition dans une filière traditionnelle, en l’occurrence, l’agro-alimentaire
Modelling the impact of perceived connectivity on the intention to use social media : discovering mediating effects and unobserved heterogeneity
No full textInternational audienceEarly research examined the direct effect of perceived connectivity (PC) on intention to adopt information systems. In this study, we extend that research stream by examining the mediating effects of perceived enjoyment (PE) and perceived playfulness (PP) on the relationship between PC and the intention to use social media within the workplace. To test our proposed model, we collected data from 2,556 social media users from Australia, Canada, India, the UK, and the US. We applied the REBUS-PLS algorithm, a response-based method for detecting unit segments in PLS path modelling and assessing the unobserved heterogeneity in the data sample. Based on the strength of effects, the algorithm automatically detected two groups of users sharing the same intentions to use social media. A post hoc analysis of each group was done using contextual and demographic variables including geographic location, country, age, education and gender. Implications for practice and research are discussed
Bridging cultural discontinuities in global virtual teams : role of cultural intelligence
No full textInternational audiencePrior research on global virtual teams (GVTs) identifies ‘cultural discontinuity' as a salient boundary that needs to be bridged for better performance. Grounding the study in organizational discontinuity theory (ODT), we propose cultural intelligence (CQ) as one of the modalities through which cultural discontinuities in GVTs could possibly be bridged. Situating the discussion, in transactional model of stress and coping (TMSC), we develop a CQ nomological network describing the inter-relationships and mechanisms through which different CQ dimensions influence GVT performance. Further, leveraging compensatory adaptation theory (CAT) we hypothesize the significant role of structural adaptation (role str ucture adaptation), in addition to behavioral adaptation (CQ behavior), in the proposed CQ framework for the GVT context. The theorized model is tested via data collected through a two-wave survey design comprising 128 GVT members in 32 teams. Study provides support to the extended CQ nomological network and makes several valuable theoretical and practical contributions
Angel Cognition and Active Involvement in BAN Governance and Management
No full textThis research has been accepted for presentation at the 26th annual meeting of the Academy of Entrepreneurial Finance (AEF) Sept 16-18 2015 in Philadelphia.The present research sets out to reach a better understanding of the determinants of Business Angels' active involvement in making BANs accomplish diverse functions and building cognitive resources and shared competencies. We propose a framework where angels' human capital and cognitive process (in terms of predictive vs. control-oriented behavior) are key in explaining their degree and type of involvement with diverse BAN activities. To test the related assumptions, we conducted a questionnaire survey with a regional French Business Angel Network
