The inherent complexity of grand challenges such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals requires cooperation of a multiplicity of actors at the transnational level, including NGOs, MNCs, Nation States, the UN, World Bank and other transnational institutions. They gather relevant stakeholders around a table, increasingly private actors who have expertise in the particular issue, to then propose efficient solutions, mostly in the form of standards and codes of conduct. Mobilizing a parentalism lens this research theorizes different strategies that business uses in the context of private governance to legitimate its power in modern business-stakeholder relations.

What is product value perceptions?

La valeur perçue du produit décrit l'évaluation globale d'un produit par les consommateurs. Elle prend en compte la mesure dans laquelle un produit répond aux besoins et aux attentes d'un consommateur. Elle prend en compte la mesure dans laquelle un produit répond aux besoins et aux attentes d'un consommateur. La perception de la valeur d'un produit peut être considérée comme un compromis entre la qualité et le prix. Toutefois, des définitions plus nuancées tiennent compte de la nature complexe de la valeur perçue des produits et font référence à ses dimensions : émotionnelle (sentiments générés), sociale (amélioration de l'image sociale de soi), qualité/performance (attentes en matière de qualité et de performance) et prix/valeur de l'argent (utilité et coût du produit).

Do Wealth Managers Understand Codes of Conduct and Their Ethical Dilemmas?

inscrites dans les codes de conduite des banques, et comment font-ils face aux dilemmes éthiques ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous avons mené une enquête en ligne non incitative auprès d'employés de gestion de patrimoine de l'entité juridique suisse d'une grande banque multinationale. Nous avons utilisé des questions de jugement situationnel pour estimer la compréhension et le niveau d'adhésion attendu aux principes du CdC. Nous montrons que le fait de formuler les questions sous l'étiquette "sécurité financière" augmente la précision des réponses et que l'honnêteté des employés aide à orienter leur décisions vers l'intégrité dans les dilemmes éthiques. Ainsi, outre la validation d'une méthode permettant de tester le niveau de compréhension de le Code.

The role of multiple large shareholders in the choice of debt source

In this video, Wael Rouatbi presents his paper entitled "The role of multiple large shareholders in the choice of debt source", co-authored with Sabri Boubaker and Walid Saffar, and published in Financial Management in 2017. Using a large sample of French listed companies, this study shows that companies with multiple controlling shareholders tend to resort to bank debt financing.

Menopause in Organizations : Education for All

Drawing from women's testimonials in The Guardian and from contributions of feminist writers, Virginia Woolf, Julia Kristeva, and Margaret Mead, we start a conversation on the positive and energizing aspects of menopause in the workplace. We propose a social interpretation of menopause that challenges a pervasive perspective of medical decline: A theorization of “the dialectic of zest,” as inspired by the writings of Margaret Mead. By problematizing the experiences of women going through this transition in the workplace, we reveal how well-intentioned awareness campaigns can lead to further stigmatization. We thus encourage organizations to not only favor an approach of “education for all” but also extend their social imaginaries beyond medicalized perspectives and coping views.

The paradoxical faces of Coffee: Idealism and pragmatism in tension

Our study explores historical paradoxes in the coffee industry, focusing on the persistent tension between pragmatism and idealism. Paradoxes are defined as persistent conflicts between opposing yet complementary forces. For example, organizations must balance stability with the need for change. We analyzed the coffee industry in the United States over a century, from the 1910s to the 2020s, using archives from Harvard Business School's Baker Library and other specialized sources. Our research highlights the paradox between pragmatic concerns (such as coffee supply during wartime) and ideological values (like sustainability concerns in the early 2000s). This tension, influenced by historical contexts, is ever-present. For managers, it is crucial to adapt strategies to cultural trends while balancing practical and idealistic goals. Understanding this dynamic helps navigate the complex landscape of the coffee industry, and this lesson is applicable to other sectors as well.

Synergies of Institutional Theory and Dynamic Capability View in Firm Performance: Exploring Climate Change Adaptation and B2B Marketing Capabilities

Based on institutional theory and the dynamic capability view, this study delves into the relationship between a firm’s climate change adaptation (CCA) capability and its performance, with a focus on the mediating influence of business-to-business (B2B) marketing capability. The study poses two main research questions: RQ1: What role do institutional pressures play in fostering CCA capability among B2B firms in both developed and developing countries? RQ2: How does the CCA capability of B2B firms impact their performance? To validate the theoretical model developed, data is collected through surveys conducted in a developed country (Australia) and a developing country (South Africa). The study holds significance on two fronts: (a) being among the first to examine the influence of institutional pressures on CCA capability development, and (b) uncovering the mediating role of marketing capability in enhancing B2B firm performance through CCA capability. The study’s novel contribution lies in identifying pivotal elements for driving exceptional B2B firm performance amidst climate change, while employing institutional theory and the dynamic capability view to elucidate underlying mechanisms.
