Le travail de service correspond aux activités s’exerçant en interaction avec les clients. Cette forme de travail s’est développée au fur et à mesure que nos économies sont devenues des économies de service, et a contribué de façon décisive à renouveler les questionnements en matière d’organisation du travail. Il s’agit d’un travail orienté vers et avec le consommateur. Il a fait sortir l’agent au contact de son affrontement dual avec le management, faisant de lui un acteur incontournable des organisations de service.

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.
