Les entreprises ont beau communiquer sur leurs engagements responsables ou leurs actions en faveur du développement durable, le concept de responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise (RSE) laisse bien souvent sceptique. Quel sens donner à la notion d'entreprise " responsable "? Quels en sont, selon les salariés et les dirigeants, les bénéfices, tant pour l'entreprise que pour les personnes, mais aussi les limites et les contraintes ? Peut-elle être l'amorce d'une nouvelle forme d'entreprise ? L'ouvrage adopte une démarche inédite d'enquête, auprès de sept entreprises de taille, culture et histoire différentes : Adecco, Danone, Groupama, le Crédit Coopératif, le Groupe SOS, Leroy-Merlin et la SNCF. Autour d'un projet emblématique de leur démarche RSE dans leur cœur de métier, dirigeants, managers et salariés nous racontent comment ces projets ont émergé, ce qu'ils ont changé et vers quelles nouvelles perspectives ils conduisent, non seulement l'entreprise mais également les femmes et les hommes qui l'animent. En contrepoint de ces témoignages, des acteurs de la société civile - philosophes, financiers, leaders syndicaux... - nous livrent leur vision d'un avenir plus responsable.

Les entreprises utilisent trop souvent des recettes clés en main pour améliorer leurs systèmes d’information. Or, ces solutions sont peu efficaces et même contre-productives au regard des vrais enjeux. Cet ouvrage présente les nouvelles stratégies, les business models émergents et les méthodes de management imposés par le défi du numérique. Il crée une dynamique collaborative avec les clients et les fournisseurs et permet d’établir un dialogue constructif entre la direction générale, les acteurs des systèmes d’information et les métiers. Une Carte d’orientation est proposée afin de diagnostiquer la situation entre les processus et les technologies relationnelles de l’organisation. Elle permet l’élaboration d’une Feuille de route indispensable à l’innovation et à la transition vers le numérique. Pour dégager des plans d’action arbitrés et pilotés en commun, il faut pouvoir assurer une véritable « cogouvernance », c’est-à-dire une gouvernance conjointe de l’information, multi-acteurs, multicompétences et multi-domaines qui transforme avec lucidité l’organisation et s’engage avec succès dans l’entreprise numérique. L’auteur Ancien professeur à Supélec, Gérard Balantzian a dirigé l’Institut du Management de l’Information (IMI) de l’UTC pendant plus de 20 ans. Il est aussi un pionnier dans le domaine des schémas directeurs. Expert, formateur et consultant, il intervient auprès des organisations dans le domaine du numérique et de la nouvelle gouvernance de l’information.

In this ambitious and pioneering work, Catherine Foisy puts the experiences of Quebec missionaries into perspective, describing the ways in which they interweave with the socio-ecclesiastical transformations peculiar to Quebec and with those of Catholicism in mission countries. This tapestry, extending to the four corners of the world, gives the reader a view of missionary work as a site of intercultural encounter and conversion, as revealed through the voices of its actors. These accounts offer an opportunity to gauge the extent to which twentieth-century missionary work provided fertile ground for the emergence, deployment, and transfer of socio-ecclesiastical innovations that would prove decisive for the future of global Christianity. On the strength of its multidisciplinary approach and transnational analysis, this book documents various aspects of the Quebec missionary experience as it successively prospered, reached a zenith, and went into decline. By revisiting Lionel Groulx’s 1962 work on the Quebec missionary experience from the standpoint of those who actually took part in it, this book gives readers a new vantage on a whole area of Quebec history even as it sheds light on a rich religious heritage, both tangible and intangible. Finally, this book is an opportunity for readers to reacquaint themselves with certain characteristics of societies within larger societies that enable them to foster the emergence of intercultural encounters and dialogue in a globalized context.

The past, present, and future prospects of nongovernmental politics--political activism that withdraws from traditional government but not from the politics associated with governing. To be involved in politics without aspiring to govern, without seeking to be governed by the best leaders, without desiring to abolish all forms of government: such is the condition common to practitioners of nongovernmental politics. Whether these activists concern themselves with providing humanitarian aid, monitoring human rights violations, protecting the environment, educating consumers, or improving the safety of workers, the legitimacy and efficacy of their initiatives demand that they forsake conventional political ambitions. Yet even as they challenge specific governmental practices, nongovernmental activists are still operating within the realm of politics.Composed of scholarly essays on the challenges and predicaments facing nongovernmental activism, profiles of unique and diverse NGOs (including Memorial, Global Exchange, World Vision, and Third World Network), and interviews with major nongovernmental actors (Gareth Evans of International Crisis Group, Anthony Romero of the ACLU, Rony Brauman of M decins sans Fronti res, and Peter Lurie of Public Citizen, among others), this book offers a groundbreaking survey of the rapidly expanding domain of nongovernmental activism. It examines nongovernmental activists' motivations, from belief in the universality of human rights to concerns over the fairness of corporate stakeholders' claims, and explores the multiple ways in which nongovernmental agencies operate. It analyzes the strategic options available and focuses on some of the most remarkable sites of NGO action, including borders, disaster zones, and the Internet. Finally, the book analyzes the conflicting agendas pursued by nongovernmental advocates--protecting civil society from the intrusions of governments that lack accountability or wresting the world from neo-liberal hegemony on the one hand and hastening the return of the Savior or restoring the social order prescribed by the Prophet on the other.

The twenty-first century is now underway, and it's time to look at France once again as it moves into the new millennium. The current collection of essays explores cultural themes which are different than those in the editors' earlier volume, La France à l'aube du XXIe siècle: Tendances et mutations / France at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century: Trends and Transformations, published in 2000 (Summa Publications; see Google Book Seach on home page). Among the topics explored in this new volume are the presidential election of 2007, changing dietary habits, the condition of women, environmental policies, the economy, education, social mobility, young people, religion, as well as contemporary music, cinema, regional theater, and literature. Articles on multiculturalism, the position of French in today's world, and France in the European Union also provide the reader with provocative insights. All chapters include extensive references (and web sites) and will be of interest to academics, teachers and students of contemporary French culture, and all Francophiles. For the classroom teacher, additional cultural information and activities will be found on the editors' own home page; this material will be updated on a regular basis, thus facilitating the task of presenting a modern-day France that is continuously changing. - Publisher.
