“We are Our Own Best Advocates” : When Disability Rights Activists Constructed Legal Compliance to Address Ableism in France
No full textInternational audienceAlthough laws have been passed to promote disability inclusion in French workplaces, many companies face challenges complying with the required quota of disabled workers. Workplace ableism hinders the implementation of disability laws. To move from apathy to increased compliance, insider activists took proactive action, uncovered ableist practices, and mobilized colleagues at different levels. In this article, I study how some disability rights activists managed to obtain positions as disability managers in their companies in the late 2000s, gaining the ability to design inclusive policies for their organizations. Using ethnographic interviews, I explore how they use their own identities to address ableism, mobilize colleagues to promote the inclusion of disabled workers, and empower disabled employees to obtain accommodation. This study sheds light on the individual, relational, and structural work necessary to move from anti-ableist laws to a concrete and recoupled implementation in the workplace. This also explains why companies offer positions to activists to develop blueprints for compliance. Activists’ work was recognized because regulations were ambiguous but created financial sanctions for non-compliance; ableist cultures created distrust among disabled workers; and organizations needed activists’ extra work to design programs, build expertise, and develop tools to promote inclusion.<br /
Engaging the self: the impacts of online collective autoethnography on researchers
No full textInternational audienceThis short paper explores the transformative potential of collective autoethnographies. We describe unstructured online dialogues (message groups and video meetings) functioning as primary data and show how they afford a dialogical space for exploring vulnerability and positionality among highly skilled immigrants. We specifically focus on the facilitation of theorization and transformation through (1) multimodality, allowing for openness and empathy; (2) active listening, enabling trust and healing; and (3) theorization, reshaping views on privileges
How much do we learn? Measuring symmetric and asymmetric deviations from Bayesian updating through choices
No full textInternational audienceBelief‐updating biases hinder the correction of inaccurate beliefs and lead to suboptimal decisions. We complement Rabin and Schrag's (1999) portable extension of the Bayesian model by including conservatism in addition to confirmatory bias. Additionally, we show how to identify these two forms of biases from choices. In an experiment, we found that the subjects exhibited confirmatory bias by misreading 19% of the signals that contradicted their priors. They were also conservative and acted as if they missed 28% of the signals.<br/
Computational learning mechanisms of information propagating in social networks Short title: Learning Rules in Social Networks
No full textWhat mechanisms underlie how individuals integrate disparate and redundant information that spreads in social networks? The DeGroot (DG) model suggests that we adjust our beliefs according to the weighted average opinions of our social connections. In contrast, reinforcement learning (RL) models assume that learning occurs sequentially, depending on error-driven belief updating. Here, we compare these models directly using two datasets of information propagating in social networks, and determine which learning rule best accounts for the integration of information spreading in social networks. We found that variants of the DG model provide a better overall fit across participants, and are more effective in building consensus, and generating accurate estimates of the true state of the world. Furthermore, simulated models show how social network topology affects choice accuracy and consensus, depending on the learning rule. Together, our findings characterize the computational mechanisms used by individuals to propagate information in social networks.</div
Regards croisés. « La qualité empêchée est-elle devenue une source de désengagement ? »
No full textInternational audienceLes réorganisations managériales, souvent guidées par des impératifs financiers ou des logiques économiques et structurelles, tendent à imposer des normes et des objectifs chiffrés qui bousculent les routines de travail. Comme l’indique Marie-Anne Dujarier, ces décisions, prises par un top management éloigné du terrain, créent un pilotage déconnecté des réalités du travail réel. Aussi, ce phénomène est (souvent) perçu par les employés comme un empêchement de produire un travail de qualité conforme à leurs attentes et celles des usagers ; générant ainsi une perte de sens de plus en plus documentée. Or, le sens au travail est un moteur d’engagement essentiel. Coralie Perez et Thomas Coutrot montrent que son absence est un facteurdéterminant des départs volontaires et du désengagement professionnel. Les travailleurs recherchent non seulement une utilité sociale, mais aussi une cohérence avec leurs valeurs et un épanouissement personnel.Lorsqu’ils ne peuvent plus accomplir un travail « bien fait », le mal-être s’installe, pouvant aller jusqu’au burn-out. Si la perte de sens conduit au désengagement, elle a aussi un impact économique tangible. Longtemps étudiée par les sociologues du travail, cette question intéresse désormais les économistes, signe de sesrépercussions sur la performance des entreprises. Moins de qualité, moins d’implication, et au final, une baisse de productivité et de rentabilité. Une contradiction majeure pour un management orienté efficacité

FOCAL POINTS, BELIEFS, AND DISTRIBUTIONAL PREFERENCES: AN EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS
No full textThis paper experimentally examines the interplay between focal points, beliefs, and distributional preferences. Contrary to common wisdom, there is no detectable evidence that equal splits act as salient focal points in distributional voting contexts. Participants mispredict others' preferences: they overestimate egalitarianism when Pareto efficient options are available and underestimate it when efficiency gains come at others' expense. There is a clear correlation between individuals' preferences and beliefs (false-consensus bias), and participants are more egalitarian when they perceive a low probability of being pivotal (cheap fairman talk). These findings challenge assumptions about focal points and highlight belief-driven behavior in distributional settings

Small firms’ foreign market entry framework : rational and cognitive perspectives
No full textInternational audiencePurpose - This study develops an integrated framework to assist small firms in making foreign market entry decisions under uncertainty. By combining real options reasoning with effectual reasoning, the framework provides a strategic roadmap that balances structured decision-making with the flexibility needed to adapt to dynamic international markets.Design/methodology/approach - The framework is built through a literature review identifying key factors influencing small firms’ foreign market entry decisions. These factors are prioritized using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (Fuzzy-AHP) to account for uncertainty in expert judgments. The quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) translates these priorities into actionable strategies, combining quantitative analysis with behavioral and cognitive insights.Findings - The framework enables small firms to systematically evaluate foreign market entry options using predictive and control-oriented approaches. It offers a structured yet adaptable decision-making process that considers resource constraints and the need for agility in uncertain external conditions. The framework’s effectiveness depends on the precision of Fuzzy-AHP and QSPM, highlighting the need for accurate expert input and ongoing refinement.Research limitations/implications - In decision-making under uncertainty, especially in FME for small firms, repeating initial stages is often necessary to build knowledge and experience. However, this process can be time-consuming, highlighting the need for a solid understanding from the start. This research has developed a framework based on thorough analysis, providing strategic guidance for small firms. In this framework, FME mode decisions are based on current knowledge and experience, allowing for re-assessment as significant changes in the external environment occur. Extreme fluctuations, such as those caused by wars or economic sanctions, may require frequent repetitions of the decision-making process, demanding additional resources and time.Practical implications - Small firms can use this framework to make informed decisions that align with their strategic objectives and resource limitations. By following the simplified steps, decision-makers can balance risk and opportunity, improving their chances of successful international market entry. Policymakers can also use insights from this study to support small firms’ internationalization efforts through targeted mechanisms.Originality/value - This research contributes to the international marketing and entrepreneurship literature by integrating real options and effectual reasoning into a cohesive framework tailored to small firms. It advances theoretical understanding by demonstrating how combining predictive and control-oriented approaches enhances decision-making in uncertain environments. The practical tool developed provides small firms with a nuanced approach to managing the uncertainties of international market entry, thereby offering valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners in international marketing.<br /
Efficiency of the Minimum Approval Mechanism With Heterogeneous Players
No full textInternational audienceThe minimum approval mechanism (MAM) was introduced by Masuda et al. ( 2014) as a mechanism aimed at mitigating free riding in the social dilemma context of a public good game. The MAM is a two-stage mechanism which theoretically achieves the socially optimum level of public good provision, according to various equilibrium concepts (e.g., backward elimination of weakly dominated strategies, level-k, or minimax regret). We study the robustness of this mechanism to the introduction of endowment heterogeneity. We explore, theoretically and experimentally, how endowment inequalities affect the effectiveness of the MAM at improving the level of provision. We find that the mechanism is still Pareto-improving under endowment heterogeneity, but that its efficiency diminishes as inequality is increased. Our experimental findings indicate a significant weakening of the mechanism under endowment inequalities, surpassing our theoretical predictions. A close examination of individual behaviors reveals a significant drop in contributions compared to the uniform case, prompted by even minor inequalities. Intriguingly, our findings challenge conventional assumptions by showing that inequality aversion drives contributions in a public good game with endowment disparities only under certain assumptions. We explore the impact of beliefs about the contributions of advantaged players as potential motivations through guilt aversion and Kantian preferences
