Qu’Est-Ce Que L’Investissement Socialement Responsable?, Diane-Laure Arjaliès
Qu’Est-Ce Que L’Investissement Socialement Responsable?, Diane-Laure Arjaliès
Business Publications
Cet article étudie l’évolution des formes et des objectifs de l’Investissement socialement responsable (ISR) aux États-Unis et en Europe des années 1920 jusqu’à nos jours. En s’intéressant à la fois aux fondements théoriques et aux caractéristiques des fonds ISR au cours du temps, il dresse un panorama des différents types de fonds en fonction de leur appartenance à un référentiel sociétal ou économique. En montrant la complexité et la diversité de l’ISR d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, cet article permet de mieux appréhender les enjeux de définition et de légitimation rencontrés actuellement par les professionnels du secteur de la gestion d’actifs.

A Managerial Perspective On The Porter Hypothesis - The Case Of Co2 Emissions, Diane-Laure Arjaliès, Jean Pierre Ponssard
A Managerial Perspective On The Porter Hypothesis - The Case Of Co2 Emissions, Diane-Laure Arjaliès, Jean Pierre Ponssard
Business Publications
Investors and companies are increasingly aware that climate change and its associated needs for reducing CO2 emissions are likely to impact structurally many areas of the economy. This paper offers a contribution to understand these impacts on companies’ strategy, by studying management systems. A typology is introduced based upon a two stage model. At stage one, the firm becomes aware of the risk and CO2 is a compliance issue. At stage two, the firm is involved in a more global re-assessment of its business portfolio including its relationship with suppliers and clients. The construction is based on three case studies: …
Testing For Hysteresis In Entrepreneurship In 23 Oecd Countries, Simon C. Parker, Emilio Congregado, Antonio A. Golpe
Testing For Hysteresis In Entrepreneurship In 23 Oecd Countries, Simon C. Parker, Emilio Congregado, Antonio A. Golpe
Business Publications
We explore the macro structure of entrepreneurship rates in a panel of 23 OECD countries over 1972-2006. We find that rates of entrepreneurship in OECD’s countries exhibit persistence rather than hysteresis. Implications for the design of entrepreneurship policies are discussed.
Token Presence Or Substantive Participation? A Study Of Labor Trustees On Pension Boards, Anil Verma, Johanna Weststar
Token Presence Or Substantive Participation? A Study Of Labor Trustees On Pension Boards, Anil Verma, Johanna Weststar
Management and Organizational Studies Publications
In contrast to their absence from corporate boards in North America, labor representatives do have a seat on many pension boards. Given the lack of research on the role of labor participation in these fora, this study reports findings from a survey of labor trustees. We find that labor trustees make greater contributions to procedure-oriented processes such as information sharing, rule-making and rule interpretation; and, fewer contributions to investment-oriented processes such as investment decisions, fund performance and manager selection. Gender does not seem to matter in explaining participation in board activities. Accountability in terms of a requirement to report back …

Explore the issue of leadership in libraries with one current student and one graduate of The University of Victoria's Professional Graduate Certificate in Library Sector Leadership. Looking specifically at Kouzes and Posner's 'Five Practices of Exemplary Leaders' and Quinn et al.'s 'Competing Values Framework', we hope to share our own discoveries and insights and add to the important discussion of leadership in Libraries.

While popular interest in sustainable consumption continues to grow, there is a persistent gap between consumers’ typically positive explicit attitudes towards sustainability and their actual consumption behaviours. This gap can be explained, in part, by the belief that choosing to consume sustainably is both constraining and reduces individual-level benefits. While the belief that sustainable consumption depends on making trade-offs is true in some contexts, increasingly consumers are finding that more sustainable forms of consumption can provide both an expanded set of options and additional, individual-level benefits. In this essay, we discuss and illustrate an expanded set of options and benefits …
Exploring The Role Of Objects In The Transformation Of Logics: A Practice Perspective, Diane-Laure Arjaliès
Exploring The Role Of Objects In The Transformation Of Logics: A Practice Perspective, Diane-Laure Arjaliès
Business Publications
This article aims to examine the role of objects in the transformation of logics (Thornton & Ocasio, 2008) at the practice level. In particular, it explores how financial actors use, transform and are constrained by their ‘market devices’ – defined as a range of instruments, models and tools used by financial markets (Callon, Millo, & Muniesa, 2007) – when aiming to (re)design their logics and practices towards more sustainability. It develops a theoretical model based on ever expanding, institutional theory by combining it with practice theories. In particular, the article argues that actors transform their practices, logics and objects, by …

Approches Stratégiques Des Émissions Co2: Les Cas De L’Industrie Cimentière Et De L’Industrie Chimique, Diane-Laure Arjaliès, Goubet Cécile, Jean-Pierre Ponssard

La capacité des entreprises à transformer une contrainte environnementale en source d’opportunité stratégique est un sujet controversé dans la littérature. S’appuyant sur une étude comparative des stratégies de lutte contre les émissions CO2 mises en place par les industries cimentière et chimique, l’article1 démontre que la latitude des entreprises à adopter une approche proactive face au développement durable est fortement contrainte par les caractéristiques du secteur en termes de dépendance vis-à-vis des ressources naturelles, de flexibilité dans la composition du portefeuille d’activités et de structure du secteur aval.
