SCM (Supply Chain Management) covers all activities related to a company’s industrial macro-process. It thus encompasses all activities involved in the creation and production of the products marketed by the company (purchasing, procurement, production, order management, distribution, logistics). By using appropriate information systems, it manages not only physical flows (materials, components, finished products, etc.) but also information flows (orders, forecasts, inventory levels, lead times, etc.). Both intra- and inter-organizational, Supply Chain Management requires coordination among all internal (marketing, R&D, purchasing, sales, etc.) and external partners of the company.

What is servitization?

According to Baines and Lightfoot, servicization can be seen as the transformation from the mere sale of products to the sale of an integrated combination of products and services that creates value for customers. These product-related services can include basic, traditional services (such as after-sales service, maintenance, or financing) as well as more advanced, complex offerings (such as component availability, product customization, or visibility into inventory levels). Servicization should be viewed as a continuum, ranging from a pure product to a pure service. Servicization has become essential for French industrial companies.

What are psychosocial risks?

The very idea of the existence of Psychosocial Risks is recent; this term did not exist before 2005. The suicide crisis brought this concept to light, providing a way to summarize under a single term a set of conditions that give rise to suffering at work.

What are role tensions?

Role tensions reflect a feeling experienced by a person in a situation where it is difficult to respond satisfactorily to all the expectations directed toward them. Drawing in particular on Kahn et al.’s (1964) role theory, researchers generally agree on three forms of role tension: role ambiguity, role overload (or work overload), and role conflict. Scientific studies show that role tensions are detrimental both to individuals (e.g., work stress) and to organizations (e.g., decreased job performance, withdrawal behaviors, etc.). Paradoxically, despite their dysfunctional effects, HR managers and supervisors pay little attention to the management of role tensions!

Italy’s Waste Crisis: How the Mafia Turned Trash into Tragedy

Pendant plus de 40 ans, une mauvaise gestion des déchets en Italie a permis à la Mafia de les éliminer illégalement, provoquant une crise sanitaire majeure et des taux de cancer en hausse. Malgré les interventions tardives de l’État, les choix économiques ont souvent prévalu sur la protection de l’environnement et des populations. Cette crise révèle que la gestion des déchets est avant tout une question de pouvoir et de justice sociale, touchant de manière inégale les communautés.

Human artificial intelligence at the service of hyperperformance

Artificial intelligence is already transforming lives and organizations. It brings a huge potential, for example, to achieve hyper-performance. Which is not about adding more trainings. But rather finding and removing obstacles from human minds. And artificial intelligence can facilitate that efficiently. It can help us to learn more about our own intelligence. Thus, giving us a unique chance to finally re-unite both intelligences.

What is Hyper-Performance?

It is a state of performance when all unnecessary human thought is minimized or completely suppressed. Such as bad judgments, distracting thoughts, subjective biases, bad decisions, etc. For example, employees may be reluctant to accept artificial intelligence. That means there’s something in their mind that stops them. That something is the root cause.
