The Emergence of Mythologies in Organisations: A process model
No full textInternational audienceResearch on organisational storytelling has shed light on different types of narratives. A specific story type, organisational myths, has caught the interest of some scholars in the field, but has not been theorised in any great detail. While it is rarely disputed that organisational members can and do develop emotional connections to myths and mythical stories in their social context, how and why these myths, or ‘sacred stories’, emerge in organisational settings has remained mostly unaddressed. Therefore, drawing upon a Jungian psychosocial approach, we propose a process model for the emergence of mythologised stories in organisations by situating members’ psychological dynamics within the social context in which they emerge. We propose that a conscious understanding of the conditions that lead to the emergence of mythologised stories in organisations can help clarify and deepen the relationship between different types of stories to support and sustain organisational change and development. The paper contributes to the existing literature on organisational storytelling and myths within organisational studies

Completing Projects on Time and Budget: A Study on the Analysis of Project Monitoring Practices Using Real Data
No full textInternational audienceThis article analyzes the relationship between project cost and time performance indicators and monitoring activities, namely, tracking frequency and regularity with real project data. The existing literature on project monitoring and control remains scant, mainly based on self-reported, simulation-based artificial data for a single project, and somewhat inconclusive. Data from 60 projects managed in Belgium between 2011 and 2019 with different project duration and sizes were first used to reveal associations of regular monitoring with project performance with linear probability models; then, to dissect nonlinear associations between monitoring frequency and project performance indicators using random effects models. Earned value management technique with performance indicators is adopted to assess the project performance. Empirical findings indicate that regularly tracked projects are less likely to be late. Tracking frequency displays a U-shaped association with the likelihood of late completion. Moreover, tracking frequency has inverted U-shaped relationships with cost performance and schedule performance indexes. Moving beyond the direct effects, this article is the first to analyze a nonlinear relationship between monitoring and project performance. Our results also validate prior studies' findings on regular and frequent tracking effects using real-life multiple-project data and assess the EVM metrics and their behavior in project management
Recession-proof marketing? Unraveling the impact of advertising efficiency on stock volatility
No full textInternational audienceThe current study examines how corporate advertising efficiency (estimated using data envelopment analysis) is impacted during economic recessions. The study then investigates how advertising efficiency affects stock price volatility in recession and non-recession times. Drawing on the resource-based view and contingency theory, this study utilizes generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation to analyze a sample of US listed firms. The findings reveal that advertising efficiency tends to decline during economic downturns. Moreover, the study demonstrates that firms with higher advertising efficiency experience more stable stock prices during normal economic conditions. However, an interesting observation emerges during recessions, as firms with strong advertising efficiency face higher stock price volatility. This suggests that while consumers are attracted to efficient advertisements, investors do not assign the same value to advertising spending during economic contractions. Importantly, these results are robust to endogeneity issues and various measurements of variables
Nonmarket Negotiations: Leveraging performance when negotiating with Governments, Influencers, Media, NGOs, Communities and other key stakeholders
No full textInternational audienceThis work highlights the primary effects of externalities on businesses, organizations, and teams. It then discusses the necessity for adapting and complementing traditional concepts, models, and theories of negotiation in this increasingly diverse and complex nonmarket arena. A third topic focuses on strategic negotiations with Governments, one of the most potent components among nonmarket forces. Finally, the work provides a list of practical recommendations for negotiators in the new era of externalities’ impacts and nonmarket prominence
Dynamic dependence between quantum computing stocks and Bitcoin: Portfolio strategies for a new era of asset classes
No full textInternational audienceQuantum computing and digital currencies еmеrgеs as an еssеntial arеa of inquiry within thе rеalms of science, technology, and finance. A pivotal yеt lеss еxplorеd aspect of this area pеrtains to thе dеvеlopmеnt trajеctory of quantum computing rеsеarch in enhancing financial markets trading and as diversification portfolio instrument. This research investigates the different portfolio strategies and the dynamic dependence between quantum computing stocks and Bitcoin using daily data from August 11, 2010, to September 6, 2023. For this purpose, the paper utilises the Wavelet Local Multiple Correlation (WLMC), the Dynamic Conditional Correlation- Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (DCC-GARCH) methods, and portfolio optimisation implications. The results show a strong dependence on the time-scale domain, specifically after 2020. Thе timе еvolution of cumulativе rеturns for thе Minimum Variancе Portfolio (MVP), Minimum Corrеlation Portfolio (MCP), and Minimum Connеctеdnеss Portfolio (MCoP) еvidеnt that MVP еxhibits considеrably lowеr cumulativе rеturns compared to MCP and MCoP, given thе the significant invеstmеnt wеight of Bitcoin, IBM and NVDA markets. The findings are crucial for investors, policymakers, and regulators, providing a detailed understanding of the dynamic interplay between quantum computing stocks and Bitcoin and enabling more informed and strategic investment decisions
Does corruption sand the wheels of sustainable development? Evidence through green innovation
No full textInternational audienceThis study investigates the impact of corruption on green innovation, as corruption may impede or foster green innovation in developing economies due to their weak governance systems. We develop a dataset of Chinese non‐financial firms listed between 2007 and 2020 and apply static and dynamic regression techniques. The results indicate a highly significant negative association between corruption and green innovation. This supports the notion that corruption culture reduces corporate legitimacy concerns ( institutional theory ), increases managerial rent‐seeking ( agency theory ), and hinders green innovation, thus impeding sustainable development and supporting the “ sand the wheels ” hypothesis. Our analysis also reveals that corruption's negative impact on green innovation is particularly significant for firms with lower media and analyst coverage, non‐state‐owned firms, and firms in heavy‐polluting industries. These results are robust to alternate proxies of green innovation and corruption as well as econometric specifications that account for endogeneity issues and industry, region, and time‐fixed effects
Impact of perceived CSR practices on customers loyalty. The mediating role of reputation and customer satisfaction
No full textInternational audienceAbstract Customers' loyalty is considered as an important factor ensuring overall organizational success in the long run. The purpose of this investigation is to determine how customer loyalty in Pakistan's banking sector affected by perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) practice. To end this, the present study collected data from 378 respondents using convenience sampling technique. To test proposed hypothesis, the study used correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Baron and Kenny method used to test mediation effect of variables together with the Sobel test. The result of the study shows a significant positive association among perceived CSR, bank reputation and customers loyalty and customer satisfaction. This study further shows that bank reputation has a mediating effect between perceived CSR and customer loyalty, but the relationship between CSR practices and customer loyalty has a negative effect on customer satisfaction. It was found that there was no mediating effect of degree. The findings highlight the importance of allocating resources to CSR initiatives and reputation management as a means of increasing customer loyalty. The results provide an important academic addition to the current body of research on the impact of CSR on the development of customer loyalty, with a particular focus on the Pakistani banking industry
