Micro-strategies of Contextualization Cross-national Transfer of Socially Responsible Investment
No full textThis paper examines how individuals select and mobilize local institutions when they transfer business practices across societies that are construed as dissimilar to one another. We investigate empirically how the American business practice of socially responsible investment (SRI) was transferred to France and Quebec. Our analysis identifies five micro-strategies that were employed to contextualize SRI, namely filtering, rerouting, stowing, defusing, and coupling. This repertoire of micro-strategies extends previous research on contextualization, translation, and institutional transfers and links them to one another. They may also help explain why some transfers succeed while others fail.Contextualization; transfer; translation; institutional theory; socially responsible investment

No full textInstitutional entrepreneurs as translators : a comparative study in an emerging activity.
No full textThis paper analyzes the reasons why some institutional entrepreneurship strategies failed to translate an institution while other succeeded, by paying a specific attention to the interaction between material and discursive dimensions in the translation process. A theoretical framework integrating both dimensions of translation is first proposed in order to study strategies of competing entrepreneurs. Then a comparative study of three entrepreneurs translating practices of corporate social evaluation in the French context is used to investigate the processes through which competing translators achieved their objective more or less successfully.neo-institutionalisme; translation; corporate social responsibility;
Construire la relation (positive) entre performance sociétale et financière sur le marché de l'ISR : de la performation à l’autoréalisation ?
No full textConstructing the (positive) relationship between social and financial performance on the SRI market : from performation to self-realization ?
This paper provides a theoretical framework to investigate « CSP-FP relationship » as a social construction on financial markets. These processes of beliefs’ framing could be analysed building on insights from new-institutional theorists and from Callon (1998)’s concept of performativity. Moreover, the diffusion of these behaviours and beliefs could also contribute to the effective realization of such a relationship on financial markets thanks to self-fulfilling mechanisms. These ideas offer the opportunity to reframe theoretically the classical debate around « the CSP-FP link » and to propose a new framework describing the various processes of performativity through which actors enact and construct the positive relationship between CSP and FP, leading potentially to its self-realization on financial markets. The case of Socially Responsible Investment is used to illustrate this framework.
JEL classification : A14, M14Cet article étudie l’interaction entre performance sociétale et financière comme une construction sociale sur les marchés financiers. Les processus de cadrage des croyances, quant au lien entre PSE et PF, peuvent être analysés en s’appuyant sur la perspective néo-institutionnaliste et sur la notion de performativité développée par Callon (1998). De plus, la diffusion de ces croyances et comportements peut contribuer à la construction réelle d’une relation entre PSE et PF, du fait de mécanismes autoréalisateurs. Ces idées permettent de recadrer théoriquement le débat sur le lien entre PSE et PF en proposant un nouveau modèle décrivant les processus performatifs aux travers desquels les acteurs construisent la relation positive entre PSE et PF, conduisant à sa potentielle autoréalisation sur les marchés financiers. Le cas de l’investissement socialement responsable est utilisé pour illustrer ce modèle.

Justification, evaluation and critique in the study of organization: An introduction to the volume
No full textThis volume presents state-of-the-art research and thinking on the analysis of justification, evaluation and critique in organizations, as inspired by the foundational ideas of French Pragmatist Sociology’s economies of worth (EW) framework. In this introduction, we begin by underlining the EW framework’s importance in sociology and social theory more generally and discuss its relative neglect within organizational theory, at least until now. We then present an overview of the framework’s intellectual roots, and for those who are new to this particular theoretical domain, offer a brief introduction to the theory’s main concepts and core assumptions. This we follow with an overview of the contributions included in this volume. We conclude by highlighting the EW framework’s important yet largely untapped potential for advancing our understanding of organizations more broadly. Collectively, the contributions in this volume help demonstrate the potential of the EW framework to (1) advance current understanding of organizational processes by unpacking justification dynamics at the individual level of analysis, (2) refresh critical perspectives in organization theory by providing them with pragmatic foundations, (3) expand and develop the study of valuation and evaluation in organizations by reconsidering the notion of worth, and finally (4) push the boundaries of the framework itself by questioning and fine tuning some of its core assumptions. Taken as a whole, this volume not only carves a path for a deeper embedding of the EW approach into contemporary thinking about organizations, it also invites readers to refine and expand it by confronting it with a wider range of diverse empirical contexts of interest to organizational scholars
The Role of Artifacts in Institutionalization Process: Insights from the Development of Socially Responsible Investment in France
No full textLeca, Dejean, Huault and Gond investigate how actors engage in institutional work through artefacts and how those artefacts contribute to the institutionalization of new practices. Building on an analysis of the early stages of the institutionalization of socially responsible investment (SRI) in France, they highlight three effects of artefacts as enabling, constraining and entangling practices. They also use the case study as an opportunity to sketch out an integrative approach to artefacts consistent with the tenets of institutional theory. It further sheds light on the relations between artefacts, discourse and practices in institutional processes
Growing Green: On the Moral Pluralism of Individual and Collective Ecological Embeddedness
No full textClaire-Isabelle Roquebert & Jean-Pascal Gond (2024) Business & Society, Online first Abstract. Prior research on sustainability suggests that ambitious sustainability strategies are often turned into “business-as-usual” practices. Although ecological embeddedness – that is, actors’ physical and cognitive anchoring in their ecological environment – can help maintain sustainability ambitions, its collective dynamics and pluralistic moral foundations remain understudied. We rely on the economie..
