Le collectif de travail est un enjeu important dans l’histoire de la gestion. De Taylor à Mintzberg, en passant par la réorganisation des modèles productifs dans l’automobile dans les années 70, il ne cesse de revenir hanter la gestion : un collectif de travail est utile au fonctionnement d’une organisation de par ses fonctions de régulation, de socialisation, de protection, d’apprentissage et d’innovation ; et il interpelle une posture de management hiérarchique traditionnelle en tant qu’objet délicat à identifier, observer et contrôler, appelant ainsi à un management indirect.

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.
