Disability Activism at Work
No full textInternational audienceWorkplace activism—meaning how insider activists mobilize to target their own organization to change it from the inside out and advocate for their rights—is a widespread phenomenon. While research has focused on the mobilization of various minorities and groups inside workplaces, this chapter maps out activism that addresses various forms of ableism and promotes the rights of disabled people at work. Analyzing this form of workplace activism is fundamental, as disabled people are often made invisible and discriminated on the job market. This chapter first explores how disability movements are varied and multilayered worldwide. Second, it documents various levels of mobilizations, ranging from macro-level mobilizations (legal mobilization, attempt to instigate cultural changes), interpersonal mobilizations, and personal mobilization. At each level, we show how these broad movements can translate into activism at work. Last, we question forms of advocacy or activism that are not spearheaded by disabled people themselves, to give a bigger picture of disability rights activism, its allies, and their ambivalent relationship with the broader disability rights movements. We conclude by restating the plurality inherent in disability (rights) movements, but also the strong call to keep disabled people at the center of these movements.<br/
Le management juste : Sentiments de justice, engagement, épanouissement
No full textInternational audienceMon manager me donne-t-il la possibilité de m’exprimer avant de prendre une décision ? Fait-il preuve d’empathie et de soutien émotionnel ? Me communique-t-il les informations dont j’ai besoin ? Les recherches montrent que ce sont ces questions, en complément de celle de l’équité de notre rémunération, que nous nous posons pour évaluer si nous sommes traités de façon juste. Ce sentiment de justice répond à nos besoins les plus fondamentaux de sécurité matérielle, de reconnaissance sociale, de morale et de maîtrise de l’incertitude, ce qui en fait l’une des principales sources d’épanouissement et d’engagement au travail. Cet ouvrage, illustré par un test et de nombreux témoignages, est fondé sur les dernières études en justice organisationnelle. Il renouvelle notre vision du management et montre que la manière dont le manager décide, prend soin des autres et les informe est aussi importante que la décision elle-même.<br/
The large effects of small compounded adjustments: Principles and applications to equity return prediction
No full textInternational audienceThis article discusses the importance of small variations in the implementation protocol of applied studies. We advocate the usefulness of reporting a wide range of outcomes in empirical work, based on many variations of design choices. This allow to characterize the effects more exhaustively and leads to more robust conclusions. We illustrate these ideas in two studies: one on equity premium prediction and one on portfolio sorts (asset pricing anomalies). <br /
Your Ancestors Worked Hard for this Legitimacy! Theory and Experiment on the Inauthenticity of Second Movers
No full textInternational audienceWhy do first movers into a new industry sometimes gain an advantage simply because of the fact that they are perceived by audiences to be more authentic than second movers, whereas in other contexts such second movers are perceived as no less authentic than first movers? We theorize that this difference hinges on the amount of costly, risky “legitimation work” that entrants are perceived to have conducted in their efforts to establish that the new organizational form is reliable and acceptable. Whereas a first mover must expend great effort to reassure skeptical audiences that the new form coheres with their norms and that it can meet and even exceed their standards, later arrivals are often able to appropriate such legitimacy once it has been established. But such appropriation by the second mover makes its (often implicit) claim of original insight or vision seem less authentic than that of the first mover. In three complementary online experiments on audience reactions to online healthcare startups, we find support for our prediction that followers suffer from a lower consumer preference because they are perceived to have done less work in establishing the new form’s legitimacy. Our results show that when follower firms show evidence of participation in legitimation work, it may overturn the default interpretation and reduce the authenticity discount.<br /
Diversity in online self-organizing teams : Longitudinal evidence from an open innovation community
No full textInternational audiencePurpose - The development of information technologies has fueled the emergence of online self-organizing teams that involve members with diverse backgrounds to work on a shared goal voluntarily. However, the differences in members' attributes give rise to diversity. Therefore, the authors’ research is to figure out how diversity affects team performance in the context of online self-organizing teams and how this effect changes over team tenure.Design/methodology/approach - The authors use a dynamic approach to the diversity-team performance relationship and collect a publicly longitudinal dataset on 3,970 collaborative items from 2,550 online self-organizing teams spanning nine years in an open innovation community of an online game.Findings - The empirical results show that culture separation is negatively related to team performance, and this negative relationship weakens as team tenure increases. While skill variety and contribution disparity are positively related to team performance, and these positive relationships strengthen as team tenure increases.Originality/value - The study provides a research framework to examine the relationship between diversity and team performance and explore how this relationship varies over team tenure in the context of online self-organizing teams. The results not only demonstrate the double-edged role of diversity in affecting the success of online self-organizing teams but also advance the understanding on the temporal effect of diversity on team performance.<br /
Digitalization and network capability as enablers of business model innovation and sustainability performance : The moderating effect of environmental dynamism
No full textInternational audienceIn the face of relentless global competition and regulatory pressures, the imperative for firms to digitally transform has become critical. This is particularly salient for Chinese manufacturing firms as they strive for sustainability, a multidimensional construct comprising both economic and environmental performance. Leveraging dynamic capabilities theory, this study aims to unravel the intricate interplay between digitalization, network capability, business model innovation (BMI), and environmental dynamism in shaping a firm’s sustainability performance. Our research is driven by a compelling question: How do digitalization and network capabilities impact firms’ sustainability performance, and what roles do BMI and environmental dynamism play in this relationship? To answer this question, we employed a robust survey-based methodology encompassing 1600 Chinese manufacturing firms, yielding 255 completed and validated responses. The findings reveal that network capability mediates the influence of digitalization on two types of BMI—novelty-centered and efficiency-centered. Further, these forms of BMI act as mediators between digitalization and network capability, and the two dimensions of sustainability: economic and environmental performance. Notably, environmental dynamism serves as a double-edged sword. It negatively moderates the impact of digitalization on efficiency-centered BMI, but positively moderates the influence of network capability on the same. Our study offers nuanced theoretical and practical implications. It extends dynamic capabilities theory by elucidating how digital and network capabilities can be leveraged for sustainable outcomes via business model innovation. Moreover, the research provides managerial insights, particularly for Chinese manufacturing firms, on navigating the complex landscape of digital transformation toward sustainability. Considering these insights, we recommend that firms prioritize network capabilities and strategically innovate their business models to harness the full potential of digital transformation. Simultaneously, organizations should be cognizant of the environmental dynamism within which they operate, as it can both hinder and enable their journey toward sustainability.<br /
Delivery network design of a locker-drone delivery system
No full textInternational audienceDrones are increasingly used for last-mile delivery due to their speed and cost-effectiveness. This study focuses on a novel locker-drone delivery system, where trucks transport parcels from the warehouse to lockers, and drones complete the final delivery. This system is ideal for community and intra-facility logistics. The research optimises the network design by determining the location of lockers, the number of drones at each locker, and the assignment of demands to lockers, minimising operating costs. Both single-parcel and multi-parcel capacity drones are examined. We build an optimisation model for each system, considering drone service capacity as a critical constraint. We design an algorithm combining average sample approximation and a genetic algorithm to address demand uncertainty. The algorithm's efficiency is validated through comparative analysis with Gurobi. Numerical experiments, using real and generated data, optimise the network design. Results show that the multi-capacity drone system requires fewer lockers and drones than the single-capacity system. Although the single-capacity system yields lower drone delivery costs, it incurs higher truck delivery costs. Additionally, a comprehensive cost analysis compares the cost-efficiency of the locker-drone system with a conventional drone delivery system, revealing the cost-saving advantage of the locker-drone system.<br/
Farmers' green technology adoption : Implications from government subsidies and information sharing
No full textInternational audienceWhile the previous literature on green technology adoption has not fully considered information sharing, we consider the impact of demand information sharing on the adoption of green technologies by risk-averse farmers in a vertical agricultural supply chain. We find that government subsidies and information sharing do not always promote farmers' adoption of green technologies. The accuracy of the information plays a vital role in promoting farmers' adoption of green technologies; however, the increased green technology adoption induced by more accurate information may be detrimental to farmer welfare in the presence of production diseconomies. Information sharing can reduce the amount of government subsidies for promoting green technology adoption, thereby suggesting the substitutable role of information and monetary instruments. Nonetheless, information-sharing may lead to lower water savings and thus should be adopted with caution. Risk aversion has a nontrivial impact on agricultural technology adoption: farmers are more likely to adopt traditional agricultural technologies when their risk aversion is either very low or very high. Finally, we validate our decision model with U.S. Department of Agriculture cotton production data and propose management insights to help farmers make appropriate adoption decisions under information asymmetry and risk-averse attitudes.<br/
