Download or read book Socially Responsible Capitalism and Management written by Henri Savall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current crisis context, capitalism is questioned by its detractors or defended by its partisans. The concept of Socially Responsible Capitalism (SRC) is based on the entrepreneurial spirit. It encourages exemplary behaviors, such as effective, efficient and ethical behaviors, by stimulating social responsibility of companies and organizations. This is combined with the development of economic empowerment and legitimate efforts of each citizen-actor. Socially Responsible Capitalism and Management does not confuse financial capitalism and entrepreneurial capitalism. The first one improves the creation of artificial value which leads to financial bubbles that periodically burst and bankrupt the real economy. Quite the reverse, entrepreneurial capitalism creates both solid economic value and employment. This is justified by the production of goods and services that meet legitimate needs of consumer-citizens. This book shows that by putting Human Beings at the heart of action enables producing sustainable economic value, and anthropological values which are inseparable. The innovative aspect of this book lies in its analysis starting from the macro-economic level to the individual one, by presenting a detailed analysis of the micro-economic level of companies within its managerial issues. Socially Responsible Capitalism and Management is dedicated to present the different aspects of SRC for the Society, companies and organizations and also individual actors, as citizens, producers and consumers.
Download or read book Caring Management in Health Organizations Volume 3 written by Christelle Bruyère and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health organizations in social, medico-social and health sectors are not immune to the pressures of productivity, efficiency and quality. The race against time, which is far more problematic today than 20 years ago, makes care in the workplace much more difficult to implement, though it is essential. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 only reinforced this stance. Caring Management in Heath Organizations questions the benevolent nature of management, understood here to mean taking care, according a central role to relationships. It takes a political, historical and international perspective on health management, examining successful implementations of this practice in health organizations, with all its difficulties, pitfalls and riches. Other sectors are also explored. This book takes a critical look at the very foundations of “caring management”. It opens up the debate between researchers from different backgrounds and professionals in the field.
Download or read book La souffrance au travail Quelle responsabilit de l entreprise written by Pierre Bardelli and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Souffrance et travail : deux notions évoluant conjointement depuis les débuts de la modernité, deux entités de plus en plus prégnantes et qui ont invité chercheurs et praticiens des organisations à analyser leurs relations dans un monde économique complexe. Cet ouvrage a l’ambition de changer la perspective habituellement adoptée en invitant des chercheurs de différents horizons (sciences de la gestion, sciences économiques, sociologie, psychologie, médecine) à interroger la responsabilité de l’entreprise dans la souffrance au travail. Par-delà ses méthodes de management et de communication, ses impératifs économiques de production, l’entreprise a en effet un rôle et un devoir qui pourraient trouver leur expression dans la RSE (Responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise), un dispositif reposant sur une démarche volontaire : celle-ci pourrait ainsi fournir un cadre de travail et de prise en charge incitant les organisations à adopter une position préventive vis-à-vis des souffrances, dans une volonté de maintien et de pérennisation du potentiel de leurs salariés. Ceci pose la question de la pertinence de la démarche RSE, quant à sa capacité à réguler la société et, conjointement, la question de la responsabilité objective de l’entreprise, dans le processus qu’elle semble nier, de montée en puissance de la souffrance au travail. Pierre Bardelli est professeur émérite, ancien directeur d’Institut d’administration des entreprises (IAE), ancien président de l’université Nancy II. José Allouche est professeur des universités à l’IAE de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et directeur de l’école doctorale Science de la décision et de l’organisation.

This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Paradox written by Wendy K. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of paradox dates back to ancient philosophy, yet only recently have scholars started to explore this idea in organizational phenomena. Two decades ago, a handful of provocative theorists urged researchers to take seriously the study of paradox, and thereby deepen our understanding of plurality, tensions, and contradictions in organizational life. Studies of organizational paradox have grown exponentially over the past two decades, canvassing varied phenomena, methods, and levels of analysis. These studies have explored such tensions as today and tomorrow, global integration and local distinctions, collaboration and competition, self and others, mission and markets. Yet even with both the depth and breadth of interest in organizational paradoxes, key issues around definitions and application remain. This Handbook seeks to aid, engage, and fuel the expanding interest in organizational paradox. Contributions to this volume depict how paradox studies inform, and are informed, by other theoretical perspectives, while creating a resource that enables scholars to learn about and apply this lens across varied organizational phenomena. The increasing complexity, volatility, and ambiguity in our world continually surfaces paradoxical dynamics. Thus, this Handbook offers insights to scholars across organizational theory.

Download or read book The Qualimetrics Approach written by Henri Savall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for this work emerged from Savall’s belief that there is a doubleloop interaction between social and economic factors in organizations, between behaviors and structures, and between the quality of life in organizations and their economic performance. When managers underestimate this dynamic interaction, the resulting tension ultimately manifests in lowered performance and increased costs, what he refers to as the “hidden costs” of organizational life. Only by delving into the depths of these organizational dynamics can we hope to fully understand – and create the basis for improving – organizational performance. The Qualimetrics Approach presents a different and challenging way of thinking about analyzing organizations, one that draws together quantitative information, financial analysis and qualitative insights into organizational dynamics. As Savall and Zardet argue, to gain a true understanding of what is happening in organizations, intervener-researchers must focus on all three perspectives, as ignoring any one of them will lead to incomplete understandings. Their approach underscores the importance of using qualitative data to validate quantitative depictions (“the numbers”) of organizational performance in understanding the construction of financial statements. The strength of Savall and Zardet’s approach is that it pushes us to go deeper, to fully understand the narratives underlying the numbers and the social construction of our financial assessments.

This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le « développement durable » est un projet de société séduisant qui reste relativement théorique en raison du déficit de retours d’expériences opérationnelles et méthodologiques. Organisations hautement durables a pour objectif de rendre compte, de comprendre et d’accompagner la mise en pratique du développement durable au sein d’entreprises et d’organismes publics. À ce titre, cet ouvrage : – définit le concept d’organisation hautement durable en s’appuyant sur les notions de risques organisationnels et sur ce qui est à préserver : « le capital critique » ; – identifie les stades d’apprentissage organisationnel en vue d’atteindre les caractéristiques d’une organisation hautement durable et responsable ; – souligne l’intérêt des indicateurs et pointe leurs dérives d’usage ; – propose des méthodes d’aide multicritère à la décision, notamment pour la mise en place d’une stratégie et d’un plan d’actions développement durable ; – aborde les difficultés opérationnelles du changement organisationnel et discute des moyens et des leviers d’actions pour les dépasser ; – soulève l’importance du rôle de la gouvernance dans ce cadre et propose des fondements et des critères de son évaluation. Illustré de nombreux exemples et d’expériences de terrain, cet ouvrage repose sur un partage des pratiques et sur une approche scientifique. Il propose une ingénierie avec de véritables outils politiques, organisationnels et techniques pour aider les dirigeants d’entreprises et d’organismes publics à opérer un changement vers un nouveau schéma d’organisation axé sur la gestion des problématiques environnementales et sociétales. Organisations hautement durables s’adresse aux décideurs, aux analystes, aux ingénieurs et aux consultants qui ont à répondre à une demande particulière en matière de développement durable et de responsabilité sociétale.
