Gender, network recall, and structural holes

Women tend to remember social connections better than men, thanks to a mental shortcut called the closure schema.
This strategy, shaped by socialization, works best in cohesive networks.
It’s not biological, but socially constructed.
This helps explain why women are underrepresented in network broker roles.
Managers should consider these biases to better train and value all talents.

What is disability at work?

Pourquoi parler du handicap au travail ? Le handicap concerne 30% de la population, souvent invisible et peu abordé. Pourtant, parler ouvertement du handicap en entreprise favorise l’inclusion et améliore l’accessibilité pour tous grâce à l’effet “curb-cut”. Découvrez pourquoi chaque effort compte pour créer un environnement de travail plus juste et accueillant.

What does gender equality in organizations really mean?

Gender equality goes beyond numbers it’s about inclusion. While laws like Copé-Zimmermann have increased women’s representation, true equality means ensuring their voices influence decisions and their contributions are valued. Intersectionality shows that barriers are often compounded by factors like ethnicity or age. The real transition is moving from diversity to inclusion creating cultures where every voice counts and equality drives innovation and resilience.

What if, for a woman, earning more than her partner actually held back… her own career?

Even when women earn more than their partners, they still take on more household work, which holds back their careers. This imbalance is driven by persistent social norms around masculinity and women’s roles. Only couples with equal incomes escape this dynamic. Addressing it requires open conversations between partners, but also public policies and company initiatives.

How do global companies make wise choices of countries for sourcing their suppliers?

Antony, together with his colleagues from NEOMA, presents research conducted with the University of Bristol on how international companies choose countries for sourcing. The concept of "country risk," once focused on economic conditions and political stability, now includes three major sociopolitical factors: populism, which creates regulatory uncertainty; state fragility, which affects suppliers’ ability to deliver; and checks and balances, which can limit but not always prevent political drift. The study, covering 1,300 U.S. companies and their suppliers in 90 countries, shows that these factors directly influence sourcing decisions. Examples like Samsung and H&M illustrate this shift toward countries perceived as more stable. In conclusion, companies must strengthen their geopolitical monitoring to anticipate risks and secure their supply chains.
