Perspective historique de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE)
No full textLa responsabilité sociale des entreprises est une notion très répandue sur le plan international, aussi bien dans les pays développés que dans les pays sous-développés. Le Maroc ne fait pas exception : il adhère bel et bien à cette pratique, constituant depuis quelques années un chantier dans lequel innovation sociale et économique sont en plein développement. En bref, les entreprises qui y pratiquent sont amenées à jouer un rôle qui dépasse le cadre de leur activité économique, en participant au bien public, en luttant contre la pauvreté, l’analphabétisme, etc., ainsi qu’en promouvant le développement durable, la gouvernance, l’éthique et l’instauration d’une philosophie conforme aux droits de l’homme. Depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, on a pu distinguer trois vagues successives de conception de la RSE : dans les années 1950, la conception éthique aux États-Unis ; dans les années 1970-1990, la conception utilitariste aux États-Unis ; depuis 1990, la conception fondée sur la soutenabilité dans les pays européens occidentaux qui est loin d’être arrivée à maturité encore de nos jours.Dans notre article, nous essaierons de définir ces trois conceptions de la RSE en nous attardant aux différents termes qui ont vu le jour en association avec cette notion : éthique, gouvernance, développement durable, management responsable, etc. Nous exposerons en même temps le cas du Maroc, en tant que situation prometteuse d’intégration de la RSE dans les pays en développement.L’analyse de ces trois conceptions se fera dans une perspective historique, par la présentation des lieux et des dates d’apparition et de développement de cette notion, y compris de son développement historique au Maroc
Human capital, a factor of territorial attractiveness for investment
Full text linkLa question d’attractivité territoriale n’est pas nouvelle et n’a pas cessé d’être une préoccupation pour les pays à travers son influence directe sur la stratégie développementale des pays, de ce fait, il est devenu indispensable que toutes nations territorialisent leurs politiques publiques pour les mettre sur les rails de développement territorial soutenable. L’attractivité territoriale est donc, conscientisée pour toutes les nations et surtout le Maroc, qui ambitionne de réduire les disparités économiques et sociales entre ses régions tout en assurant un développement intégré pour son territoire, une ambition que devrait réaliser le chantier de la régionalisation avancée. En effet, cette ambition a incité les territoires à se mettre en compétition pour être de plus en plus attractifs et compétitifs afin de capter des investisseurs, de ce fait ils se sont basés essentiellement sur leurs ressources territoriales et humaines dans cette compétition. En partant d’une revue de littérature, cet article vise à mettre en exergue le rôle du capital humain de la stratégie nationale de développement pour l’attractivité et à éclaircir les retombées économiques et sociales matière de territoire pour aboutir au développement territorial durable.The issue of tax competition had existed within states for a long time and is one of constant concern for countries from all over the world since it affects their development policies. In turn, this implies that every country must territorialize its public policies to secure designers of sustainable territorial development. This, has indeed made territory an attractive force for all countries, and in particular for Morocco, which wants to reduce the economic and social disparities that separate its various regions and to guarantee an integrated development of its territory, an objective that can only be reached through the process of advanced regionalisation. In fact is has pushed territories to compete in becoming more attractive/competitive in order attractinvestors. Therefore, their territorial and human resources have been the main elements of this battle. Methodologic approach This article, based on a literature review, intends to underline the impact of human capital for the national development strategy of attractiveness and to elucidate the economic and social effects related to the territory, and resulting in sustainable development of the territory
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
