Full textQuestions about the roles and functions of budgetary management control arose from our day-to-day practice in the European subsidiary of a multinational company. Even though methods had lost some of their relevance in a changing context, they were still being used. Why ? Besides the traditional technique objectives of budgetary management control, new informal roles appear, participating to the making of a new organisational reality. The budgeting systems contribute to maintain and distribute power. They also develop a more coherent and identity team through budgetary practices and rituals. The object of this research is to understand the evolution and the articulation of informal roles of budgetary management control through a longitudinal case study. We develop a multidisciplinary approach using theoretical and methodological results of human sciences
Pépin, Dominique. "Caractérisation de la culture organisationnelle d’une entreprise multinationale : le cas du groupe Saint-Gobain." Thesis, Paris 2, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA020059.
Full textHow to define the organizational culture of a multinational corporation whilst taking into account the impact of the local cultures of countries where it operates? This question introduces the problematic nature of our study focused on the Saint-Gobain Group. Our research is based on Schein’s methodology in an approach related to the Grounded Theory. We have identified three main fundamental dimensions supported by a complementary fourth dimension:- The first dimension concerns relations among people which can be characterized by respect for people, team spirit, a concern for peoples’ development and profound respect for the hierarchy. To represent Saint-Gobain, we used the metaphor of the family;- The second dimension is the action and relation towards the world. Saint-Gobain is characterized by its entrepreneurial spirit, its prudence and its concern for conformity, its innovation, its commitment to decentralization, its industrial culture, an emerging sense of the customer, and its social responsibility. We characterize it as a community of supportive and prudent entrepreneurs; - The third dimension is the relation to time: a long time carved in history and marked by sustainability.The fourth complementary dimension, in respect of national cultures and the importance of French culture, appears either explicitly or through the practices of leaders and managers who have shaped the organization over time. Our work allows us to validate the relevance of Schein’s methodology and to confirm the French management model characterized by d’Iribarne. Moreover, the three identified fundamental dimensions correspond with the typology of Hampden-Turner & Trompenaars

Full textEvidence from the Lafarge Group, which introduced a competency-based leadership model, is studied in the present dissertation. It is argued that Lafarge, as a consequence of the acquisition of two Anglo-Saxon multinational enterprises, introduced a competency-based leadership model as a means of adopting a geocentric approach to international human resources management. Agency theory and neoinstitutional theory are used to explain the rationale behind the introduction of the competency-based leadership model at Lafarge. The model makes it possible to reduce information asymmetry between the managers of headquarters and the subsidiaries and thereby appears as a means of cultural control. At the same time, the introduction of the competency-based leadership model allows Lafarge to gain both internal and external organizational legitimacy. In addition, the analysis of the results reveals the process of “Anglo-Saxonization” within Lafarge; this occurs, however, in a particularly French manner

"Globalisation et régionalisation : les stratégies d'internationalisation de Volkswagen, Renault et Fiat dans les principaux pays d'Europe Centrale et Orientale et en Chine durant leur transition systémique à l'économie de marché." Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030085.
Full textDuring the last decades, the globalization of the world economy has not simply developed at an accelerated and unexpected pace, but it has also become more complex than ever before. This process led to significant changes in the organization of industrial production at the world level. Parallel to the globalization, the phenomenon of regionalization has emerged. Today multinational firms organized as network enterprises, became the principal actors of the world economy and they seem to shape the direction of its future evolution. They can also serve as the engine for industrial upgrading and catching up for a given economy. To demonstrate the global and regional development of multinational enterprises, we have chosen the automotive industry since it is a wide and technology-intensive sector and can highlight the main stages and changes of the last decades’ economic evolution. The analysis of the main Central and Eastern European Countries and of China enables to shed light on the role that multinational enterprises within the automobile manufacturing sector have played in the transition from a socialist planned economy to a market economy and on the process of integration of these territories in the global and regional strategy of the vehicle manufacturers

Full textThis thesis focuses on the establishment and development process of communities of practice in the field of innovation. The field study has been conducted at the SEB Group, a French multinational company specializing in electrical appliances. The empirical study, developed from a longitudinal perspective, is based on 63 semi-structured interviews, observations and internal documents. The analysis indicates the existence of four phases that characterize the establishment and development of a community of practice. It also shows the compatibility of two types of communities identified in the literature: intentionally created and emerging communities. The obtained findings reveal that the dynamics of development varies according to the type of community. Furthermore, they highlight that active and effective coordination is a key factor influencing the dynamics of intentionally created communities of practice. The answers obtained in the context of our research can contribute to a better management of communities of practice and serve as a guide for other organizations that wish to deploy these social structures in the field of innovation
Liao, Minxiong. "La projection de l’économie chinoise vers l’international." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030041.
Full textAfter an orientation focusing on export and inward FDI, China continues its integration into worldeconomy by an accelerated projection of its economy to the world, which is demonstrated by Chinesecompanies’ outward direct investment. In a very short time, China has become the main source of FDI flow among developing countries. This phonomenon has shown particular characteristics and has taken off at an unexpected scale and speed. The state economy of China leads us to conclude usually that there is any political motivation and national strategy behind these activities. Nevertheless, the government didn’t play a decisive role in this phenomenon. The behaviors of home country’s government is in fact one of the exogenious factors that can affect the OLI configuration [Dunning, 1993a] of its companies and therefore the characteristics of the outward investment activities of its companies. The dynamic and the specificities of Chinese investors are rather derived from a strong entrepreneurial desire which coincides with a maturation of Chinese companies thanks to the economic development of China. An in-depth study on Chinese companies’ motivations has shown us tha! t market-seeking is the principal motivation of Chinese companie’ outwart investment and they possess ex ante specific advantages derived from their nationality,such as capital market imperfection, flexibility and networking capacity

Full textThe deindustrialization phenomenon is approached by two different and complementary ways: one about the territory, Vaise district, old industrial district near the Lyon’s town center, and the other about a company, Rhône-Poulenc-Textile, before called Rhodiaceta, the biggest industrial of Vaise.The Vaise district deindustrialization has been particularly fast and radical, showing the disappearance between 1975 and 2005 of most of industrial employments, whereas the busy surfaces by the industry decreased by two thirds.The sector was transformed into about twenty years in a residential and offices district, where the industry has hardly its place.In 1977, Rhône-Poulenc-Textile announces his textile Plan, foreseeing a reduction of half of its textile chemical productions in France, the emblematic closure of its manufactory mother of nylon spinning in Vaise which had known up to 7 000 employees and had made the first thread nylon in France, but also these of Roussillon, Besançon, Vaulx-en-Velin… It’s not only a restructuring but a real deindustrialization.For these two examples, the study looks for the cause of processing put there evidence, with their actors: Rhône-Poulenc managers, the politic deciders in the government as well as the territorial communities, the decisive importance or not of the economic crises that the period has knew
Jebli, Fedwa. "Communication interne et culture dans l’entreprise multinationale : régulation sociale et ordre négocié." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO20052.
Full textOne of the characteristics of multinational enterprises is their implementation in countries geographically and culturally diverse. Internal communication services are represented mostly as the solution to build support for the corporate culture and to develop synergy around it beyond workers' cultural considerations. The dominant discourse states that the corporate culture is to be accepted in the same way by all employees, notably through internal communication services, which are defined as a strategic actor playing an active role in everyday business. The objective of this thesis is to contrast the discourse of internal communication services with the conclusions drawn from the observation of tasks performed by its officials in three subsidiaries of multinational companies, in particular to see how cross-cultural issues are part of their daily lives. It aims also at contrasting how discourses that represent the company as an organization whose static social order is based on a consolidated corporate culture, with employees trying to find a space to express their cultural difference against the company culture in their daily life. In order to highlight the gaps between the rhetoric and reality of working in a multinational enterprise, we assembled a conceptual framework based on J.-D. Reynaud's theory of social regulation, assuming that communication between the corporate culture and the cultures of the employees would manifest itself through a set of permanent rules, and A. Strauss' negotiated order theory, which represents the organization permanently constructing its social order through the negotiation of compromises between actors. The concepts of power and social representations are used to highlight the idea that any interaction within the company can not exist without the presence of different manifestations of these two concepts. In order to draw conclusions, we have adopted a research methodology based on case studies. We have therefore used participant observation, semi-structured interviews and content analysis of the publications of internal communication services

Full textThe firms strategies are very important in economic internationalization of the territories. Consequently we made a survey about the location of the largest european multinational firms' foreign subsidiaries, wich can be representative of the investment exchanges in Europe. This type of establishment could be used to measure the degree of international opening of places, especially the cities, which seem have facilities to integrate such supranational networks. Based upon this, we used the relationships between the hedquarters and the foreign subsidiaries of 100 of the 300 major european firms (about 3. 000 subsidiaries) to define the principal economic links between european metropoles. Then we were able to see the integration of such cities in the european economic system, and to compare the results with the characteristics of the cities (with more than 200. 000 inhabitants). This step required the construction of a homogeneous data base concerning this type of cities, with a total comparability of their delimitations, which are founded on the common criteria of building's continuity. Information concerning the population of the cities (extracts from census of population), international congresses (from 1987 to 1989), airline trafic, and majors hotel chains, permitted to define the factors of attractivity of European cities for multinational enterprises. In this way, we focalized our approach particularly on the role of the form of the differents settlement systems for the spatial diffusion of the foreign subsidiaries in the urban hierarchy
Tayara, Saeed. "Commerce international et investissements directs étrangers : complémentarité ou substituabilité ?" Thesis, Poitiers, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016POIT4001/document.
Full textThis work investigates, theoretically and empirically, the relationship between international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), which has been one of the key channels of economic globalization, and of the development of global value chains in the international segmentation of production. Theoretical models show that international and FDI may be substitutes or complements. The nature of this relationship may be the consequence of exogenous factors, determinants of country specialization, or the result of the endogenous strategy of firms in the organization of their international activities. The empirical validation relies on an adaptation of the gravity model, using panel econometrics with bilateral data for France during the 1993-2012 period. Estimates show a complementarity relationship between trade and FDI at the most aggregated level. However, a comparative analysis at a more disaggregated level reveals some signs of substitutability or complementarity according to the group of partner countries

Full textThe present dissertation examines the entanglement of the social and material in Multinational Enterprises during the transnational transfer of Human Resource Management Practices, especially Performance Management Practices. Using 4 local Chinese entities of a transnational firm as my case study, I explore how local employees make Performance Management practices their own, both internalizing global practices and innovating to adapt to local environments. This research is based on 60 interviews, secondary materials and direct observations over more than 10 years. In the first chapter of this dissertation, I explore more specifically the adoption of Human Resource Management practices at the micro level, and I identify four archetypes of the adoption of Human Resource Management practices: formal, ceremonial, deviant and innovative. In the second chapter, I focus on the adoption of Performance Management practices in Multinational Enterprises at a meso level. Drawing on sociomaterial theory, I propose a new definition of hybridization as being a process by which unique practices emerge in local subsidiaries from the entanglement of the social and the material at Headquarters and in local subsidiaries. This definition allowed me to identify two new hybrid performance management practices in the four Chinese entities of the Multinational Enterprises under investigation, which I have called the “harmonious Confucian” Performance Management practice and the “harmonious instrumental” Performance Management practice. In the third chapter, I build on the results of the two previous empirical chapters to conceptualize an integrated multilevel model for the transnational transfer of Human Resource Management practices in Multinational Enterprises by expanding another central concept to sociomaterial theory: the notion of “apparatus”. This dissertation aims therefore at contributing both to International Human Resources Management literature and to the literature of the sociology of management tools
Burlat, Claire. "La légitimité des institutions productives dans les sociétés démocratiques européennes : le cas de l’internationalisation de la « firme urbaine » française en Suède et Roumanie." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LYO20020.
Full textThis work confronts the phenomenon of management practices internationalization of corporations to the legitimacy of intermediate institutions. The case study deals with the internationalization of a French company, Veolia Environnement, in Sweden and Romania. Being specialized in local public services, this firm is considered as “urban”. The results show the legitimating processes the “urban firm” resorts to while settling abroad thanks to its “institutional dimension”. Such processes turn into “high-level” and “low-level” regulations. When the firm regulates on the “high level”, it tries to implement cooperation strategies with the public institutions. When the firm regulates on the “low-level”, it promotes a management model, associated with individuals’ socialization processes, into the labor organizations. In both cases the firm aims at pursuing or replacing the public authority, hence its “institutional dimension”. Thus, the legitimacy of the “urban firm” depends on the regulation of a collective action that faces a democratic principle varying according to the countries. In France, the “urban firm” develops its “institutional dimension” owing to the fact that there is a delegated democracy. In Sweden, its action is limited by the effective participating democracy. As to Romania, the democracy in constitution can, on the one hand, be seen as an obstacle to its economic expansion. But on the other hand, it enables the development of its “institutional dimension”
Jacquier-Roux, Virginie. "La territorialisation de la R&D industrielle transnationalisée : une analyse de dynamique industrielle." Grenoble 2, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994GRE21026.
Full textThe main question of this research is : what is the strategic stake of transnational corporations deploying research and development (r&d( activities in the world? to answer to this question we need to know well enough the industrial r&d ac tivity. That is why the first part of this work is concerned with a thorough analysis of the industrial r&d processes dynamics. The hypothesis is that the long run performance of r&d depends on its ability to accumulte specific cognitive resources, which are the bases of the enlarged reproduction of its cognitive means of producing knowledge. Since the fordism's crisis, the accumulated specific cognitive resources increasingly have to give flexibility ro research process es and to lead to a regular restatement of the firm's acquired knowledge. A good mean of doing that is to open the resea rch processes to outside actors. That cognitive meeting leads to a transformation of the current research processes in t he firm. It can tale two ways : interfirm r&d cooperation and locating r&d laboratoiries abroad. The research examines the latter, in the second part. For a long time, r&d's location depended on management or production's locations. But nowadays, it is possible to ask the question of r&d's independent location and deployment in the world. The hypothesis, illustrated with concrete studies of r&d laboratories, in then that if they want to open and transform their research processes with outside actors, firms should better territorialize the laboratories they settle abroad. Contrary to localization which is only a collecting assets process, territorialization is a process of insertion into a localized network of interactions producting collectively some means of production

Full textThis thesis aims to carry out an in-depth study on Chinese FDI, to analyse the strategy and organization of Chinese companies in France. For this, we study the main investment motivations for Chinese companies in France, their entry modes into the French market, and the different ways of controlling their subsidiaries in France. We used a qualitative methodology for this research. In total, we interviewed seventeen Chinese companies that carried out FDI in France. Our empirical findings indicate that market-seeking and strategic assets seeking are the main motivations for Chinese FDI in France. The Chinese government plays a role of promoter in the process of internationalization of Chinese companies in France. Chinese companies prefer to enter into France through wholly owned subsidiaries. Local managers play a key role in the management of the subsidiaries of Chinese firms in France

Full textIn the context of a growing globalization, the globalization of economies and organizations has a strong impact on the human resources management practices.Indeed, more and more multinational companies recruit actors from various countries and therefore different cultures. Management of the diversity has become essential for these companies locating abroad.This research aims to highlight the complexity of managing cultural diversity and the multitude of factors which influence the behavior of managers/agents in subsidiaries of the multinationals French firms implanted in Tunisia.For this purpose, we study the literature of contributions on the multinational company and the transfer of managerial practices as well as the influence of cultural variable on the managerial practices within subsidiaries by taking into account feedback from internal stakeholders. We then propose an innovative theoretical framework articulating the neo-institutional approach and the culturalism approach.Our research methodology based the overall combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The survey sample consists of 83 local and expatriate executives working in 14 French subsidiaries implanted in different regions in Tunisia.The quantitative study is based on questionnaires sent to various actors; it is supplemented by 22 interviews semi-structured with both local and expats executives.This thesis has highlighted that the cooperation between actors from different cultures requires a consideration of cultural variable to manage subsidiaries. It also highlighted the cultural features within the French subsidiaries implanted in Tunisia as well as the dominant cultural values specific to the Tunisian executives.Key words : Multinational companies- the managerial practices -cultural variable- the dominant cultural values- Management of the diversity

Full textExamining the example of multinational oil companies, this article tries to make clear the actual situation of the concept of corporate social responsibility, which from legal perspective belongs to soft law, and to draw a line between hard law and soft law, aiming to highlight the difference in functions of these two laws and to dispel unrealistic expectations of corporate social responsibility. Along these lines, this article firstly explores the context of corporate social responsibility, including its evolution, controversies around it, and the underpinning instruments that put it on a solid footing. These instruments represent a couple of common characteristics (diversity, flexibility, inclusion of pioneer values, etc.) that make them accepted by companies as commitment. Furthermore, both developed countries and some developing countries have seen a trend to strengthen national-level rules in this area. Secondly, three subjects, i.e., environment, human rights and anti-corruption, are selected and analyzed to show how hard law functions, its weaknesses in both developing countries and developed ones, and its effects on the actual performance of multinational oil companies, and also to explore what contribution the corporate social responsibility can make. Finally, the dynamics of corporate social responsibility is discussed. Some stakeholders, such as government, socially responsible investors, competitors and NGOs, have great potential to push multinational oil companies to adopt a socially responsible approach, while some other stakeholders, such as responsible consumers, remain a weak factor in the decision-making of these companies

Full textThis thesis focuses on the way multinational corporations (MNCs) develop and manage the required competences to sustain their innovation strategy when their market dynamism is shifting towards Asia.The literature presents various models to organize innovation processes globally but does not answer the question of their dynamic constitution based on a given situation.Drawing upon an interactive research conducted within Valeo – a worldwide automotive supplier – this thesis focuses on that dynamic dimension. It sheds light on how (i) China constitutes a disruptive experience for the Western MNC because of the speed and scale of the phenomenon, as well as the context, (ii) the strategy implemented by the MNC in China from Europe has helped to deal with the difficult situation in the short term, but is not the best way to develop the necessary competences locally to enable the local teams to become autonomous.We thus suggest: (i) at the micro level, a new way of designing training programs that involves shifting from a teaching-centered approach to a learning-centered approach, (ii) at the macro level, a trajectory to improve the constitution of R-I-D (Research, Innovation, Development) competences in the global firm, on the one hand in China via the coaching of local trainers and the development of communities of practice, and on the other hand globally via the constitution of an organizational vehicle such as a Corporate University, to address simultaneously learning and talent management issues – both individually & collectively, locally & globally, in-house & in link with the outside world

Full textIn this thesis, we analyze the multinational phenomenon. In a first time, it appears that the different contributions on this subject, proposed for forty years, have permitted the constitution of an unified framework. This framework is expressed by the internalization theory and the eclectic theory. Nevertheless, the arguments used must be evaluated more precisely. For this reason, we have proposed an imperfect competition model. This model has permitted to obtain a better understanding of the strategic role played by the multionational acitivity on the international competition. Moreover, we have analyzed with attention the recent phenomenon of international market globalization. On the one hand, we have explained the determinants of this new phenomenon and, on the other hand, we have showed that it does not exist an univocal correspondance between globalization and multinationalization. We have also realized an econometric work to verify the validity of the internalization theory and the eclectic theory. We have used here data of French firms on the period 1976-1985

Full textFollowing a threee year investigation in China [700 replies from 369 China-European (Germany and France) and China-Asian (Korea and Japan) Joint Ventures], I used the results to answer three questions : (1) : Which advantages do multinational firms seek in penetrating the Chinese market? (2) : How do multinational firms invest in China? (3) : How to compare the efficiency of the China-European and China-Asian Joint Ventures in penetrating the Chinese market and establishing a secure presence? To reply to these questions, I will firstly outline the many theories explaining the transfer of three factors- capital, technology and human resource- which encourage European and Asian firms to exchange with Chinese partners. Secondly, I will indicate the evolution of FDI entering China, its sector-related distribution, its investment in advantage factors, and its countries of origin etc. Finally, I will establish a typology according to three indicators- financial analyse, synthetic evaluation and subjective satisfaction- with the statistic treatment in order to compare the efficiency of the China-European and China-Asian Joint Ventures in China

Full textThe development of crossed flows of foreign direct investments fathered a re-examination in existent theories. Those appear really inadequate or insufficient to provide a global explanation of the multinationalisation of firms. In a first part, we proceed to a statistical analysis allowing us to retrace the main features and evolutions in foreing direct investments. We improve the macro-economic analysis by the study of a sample of original multinational firms from the E. E. C. . In a second part, we proceed to a critical analysis of the different theories. Our conclusions lead us to elaborate a particular conception inside the frame of the monopolistic competition. A foreing direct investment is thus perceived as consequence of a choice settled on the confrontation between anticipations to the export and to the foreing production in the corresponding country. Than we show that all the types of foreign direct investments can be explained in this frame as well as the direct investments crossing, particulary for a same sector and for similar products

Full textNowadays, it's obvious that there are several meeting points between multinational firm and the environmental law. Whit that in mind, the multinational firm have included this kind of law in their economic practice. Indeed, the behaviour of those firms has changed deeply because of the environmental law and some of their etablished practice have been undermined from an economic point of view. In this way, they have to take environmental law into account because of international and local requirement, so they develope nowaday a new practice in that way. At the same time, as the multinatinal firm have more and more importance thoughout the world and they are attracted, and take part in the politic of international authorithies, they have more legal and social responsabilities. This thesis is about the way of multinational firm who have included environmental law in their economic practice, and their strategic role scene means to promote the environmental law. This survey tries to demonstrate how the integration of environmental pressure in the politic of the multinational firm legitimizes their economic activities, that's why they are leaded to promote it

Full textThe emergence of multinational companies is one of the most dramatic developments of this period, and of more than just economic and industrial significance. Their position profoundly affects the role of governments in the exercise of their responsabilities, and the relationship between states. Of course, global corporations do contribute to a rise in overall economic activity. They do employ hundreds of thousands of workers around the world, often paying more than the prevailing wage. They do spread goods, capital, and technology around the globe. But their negative impact in the deterioration of living standards, employment rates, and economic justice around the world has occurred despite the good intentions of many of their officials. Their unfortunate role in maintaining and increasing poverty around the world is not due only to the dismal reality that global corporations and poor countries have different, indeed conflicting, interests, priorities, and needs but also to the increasing greed of the multinational companies in search of worldwide profit maximization

Full textThe globalization of the economy, and of the markets; the development of new techniques of information and communication; the disappearance of the geographical and time barriers, has led to the creation of new forms of organizations in the setting up of strategies within the network and also to new forms of management and of control. The multinational business and the intra organizational relations between the subsidiaries and the parent company gave place to many works. The specificity of the multinational business lies in the fact that it is submitted to a dual problem: on the one hand it must manage the business in its whole and therefore set up the tools of integration, and on the other hand, it undergoes the pressures of the parent company. The present research intends to integrate the problematic of the influence that the evolution of the organizational structures of the multinational business can have on their localization strategies. It is in the perspective of this evolution that the organization of the parent-subsidiary links appear in our research. To do so, first, we will demonstrate how the organizational structures of the multinational business evolve and how they influence the strategies of expansion. Second, we will analyse the interactions of the organizational structures and of the multinational business with their anagement systems by assuming that the latter are both the expression of the decision making process and of the power relationships regulated by the organizational structures. Through the general setting provided by the strategies of expansion according to the evolution of the organizational structures, there is an order of power rule which helps to direct and to ensure the coordination and the control of the organization activities. It is what we mean by monitoring systems. To describe these reports better, we have examined the systems of power and the parent-subsidiarylinks implied in the concept centralization and decentralization

Full textIn the context of a growing globalization, the globalization of economies and organizations has a strong impact on the human resources management practices.Indeed, more and more multinational companies recruit actors from various countries and therefore different cultures. Management of the diversity has become essential for these companies locating abroad.This research aims to highlight the complexity of managing cultural diversity and the multitude of factors which influence the behavior of managers/agents in subsidiaries of the multinationals French firms implanted in Tunisia.For this purpose, we study the literature of contributions on the multinational company and the transfer of managerial practices as well as the influence of cultural variable on the managerial practices within subsidiaries by taking into account feedback from internal stakeholders. We then propose an innovative theoretical framework articulating the neo-institutional approach and the culturalism approach.Our research methodology based the overall combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The survey sample consists of 83 local and expatriate executives working in 14 French subsidiaries implanted in different regions in Tunisia.The quantitative study is based on questionnaires sent to various actors; it is supplemented by 22 interviews semi-structured with both local and expats executives.This thesis has highlighted that the cooperation between actors from different cultures requires a consideration of cultural variable to manage subsidiaries. It also highlighted the cultural features within the French subsidiaries implanted in Tunisia as well as the dominant cultural values specific to the Tunisian executives.Key words : Multinational companies- the managerial practices -cultural variable- the dominant cultural values- Management of the diversity

Full textThe dissertation is divided into three parts. In part i, we review the literature about corporate inertia, which appears to be a cornerstone of an emerging strategic theory of the firm. Three different types of inertia are identified: organizational, competitive and technological inertia. We identify and articulate the many causes of inertia in a 5*2 matrix which thrives on previous but partial contributions on the causes of organizational and competitive inertia. We then propose to study inertial phenomena in an industry where they are frequent. We choose to study the microcomputer software industry, which seems to highly influenced by technological intertia of leading firms. In part ii, we use an inductive and historical approach to describe the evolution of microcomputer software from an inertial point of view. Particular attention is devoted to methodological issues. To establish solid construct validity, three different classes of data were used in this study: archival documentation, a questionnaire and interviews. The study covers the whole history of microcomputer sofware, from its humble origins in the early seventies to the recent advent of what we call " distributed microcomputing ". The most interesting results concern microcomputer application software. Three forces appear to have shaped competition in this industry: technological innovation at a considerable pace, standardization, and technological inertia of leading firms. The combination of these three forces leads to the identification of four product-generations with systematic changes in market leadership, resulting in the present domination of the microsoft corporation. Concluding remarks are made about some possible explanations of such a phenomenon, and the significance of 'first-mover advantages' in information technology (it) industries. In part iii, we use a game-theoretic approach based on information incompleteness to explain why in industries with sudden and radical changes, leading competitors have difficulties to understand the impact of an innovative technology, and thus often loose their technological and market edge. The game is designed to reflect the conditions in the microcomputer application software industry, where changes in market leadership have been the rule each time a new product generation, based on a new design, has appeared. Three propositions are made concerning

Full textA consensus exist around the importance of the integration of subsidiarie's knowledge to propose services with elevated technological components (SWETC) simultaneously on several overseas markets (Subramaniam, 2006). The steady thesis is that this iniative joins within a transnational strategy based on an integrated process of innovation. We led a longitudinal empirical investigation ( two years) within the multinational France Telecom. The discussion of the results shows that the conduction of such process requires taking into account three different factors : the organizational strategy, the strategy of service innovation and the international strategy. For the first one, a hybrid organizational configuration, such as the " adhocratic with linked products” seems to be more adapted for multinationals. For the innovation strategy, the involvement of subsidiaries from the beginning of the process is necessary. To propose multi-country services, the mobilization and opérationnalisation activities deserve to be collectively led by the headquarters and subsidiaries. In this frame, four types of local knowledge can be integrated : needs, constraints, results and commercial knowledge. Both first ones join a context of exchange ( additive complementarity). The third type is essentially transferred in a frame of collaboration (sequential complementarity). Finally, the analysis testifies of the utility to implement a different international strategy as the transfer of knowledge joins a context of exchange or collaboration. This descriptive stage was completed by a crossed analysis of the obtained results. A "framework", based on a set of propositions (six epistemic, thirteen theoritical and twenty operational), will drive the strategists and the managers of multinationals in the management of the innovation process

Full textThe quest for progress towards economic development in the countries of the South has increased competition between these nations in the last two decades, as they each try to attract the largest volume of FDI. This competition has become a race to the bottom due to the increased difficulties in obtaining credit. Many developing countries have attempted to attract FDI. Some have been less successful than others, in this regard; however this did not prevent a second group of countries undertaking the same policy. The decision makers seem to be convinced that FDI is the engine of development and the main question in this thesis is to better understand the phenomenon of FDI, its mechanisms and determinants. The second question is an assay to establish a link between FDI and economic growth. Our work classifies countries into five zones with an emphasis on the Maghreb and the Middle East. We show that to be attractive for FDI; a country should be politically stable, with adequate infrastructure, effective institutions and an educated population. Natural resources and bilateral investment treaties are decisive factors for the attraction of FDI. In addition, there are biases specific to certain regions. The Maghreb and the Middle East suffer from negative biases that are preventing this zone from attracting FDI. We try to explain and analyze the causes of this limited volume of FDI received. On the link FDI-growth, we found that FDI does not begin to have a positive effect on growth until there is a certain threshold level of human capital in the population

Full textThe "multinational enterprise" appears as a complex network of entities connected by equity and non-equity links which often are informal. Its unity is ensured by one center of decision; and the examination of its relations with states or private persons can give indication on its taking into account by national legal systems as well as on its subjection to some jurisdiction. Selecting various locations, it resorts to specific institutions which enable practices for the avoidance of restricting regulations. These are still basically national and very rarely include ad hoc legislation. Not only the establishment of the indicted fact and its qualification are hazardous, but the adopted measures often lead to paradoxical situations. The generally admitted solutions remain depending on the conception by states of their own interests. So, we are now heading towards an evaluation of objective prerequisites for international cooperation, which would permit the subjection of the "multinational enterprise" to regulation having universalist perspective. Regarding this subject antagonisms are numerous and are related to the scope of a casual code as well as to the facultative or compulsory character of the prescriptions of the latter. Nevertheless its is obvious that the enforcement of such code implies the enactment of a uniform law which would permit the linking of the "multinational enterprise" to the international community, as well as the setting up of an international body with a supranational character allowing an actual control. The conclusion of an agreement in this respect is not an easy matter for two reasons. First, the "multinational enterprise" has not a sufficiently-homogeneous character so that precise regulatory measures could be adopted by the states. Second, national legal systems are not affected only by juridical considerations but derive from various economical, political and social considerations

Full textOver the last decades, the activity of transnational corporations generates an increase of worker's rights violations on areas granting low social protection. Unions of the companies have had to adapt their strategies to this internationalization, throught the development of intra-group solidarity. This study suggests to pursue the evolution of the trade union action on judiciary grounds in order to achieve a more coercive supervision of the activities of transnational corporations. Workers of the subsidiary established in the hist state must therefore find support with unions of the parent, allowing them access to judicial review of the violation of their rights. Different mechanisms open to unions have been faced with the practice of transnational civil litigation. Thanks to these means of action, both the responsibility of the transnational cooperation, direct perpetrator of violations of workers' rights and states, under their obligation to protect human rights, have been considered. At the end of the analysis, the ILO and European Social Charter's procedures, specialized in the protection of workers' rights, seem little opened to the type of case considered. If the original field of the OECD is moire suitable, it shares with other quasi judicial mechanisms a lack of binding. Unions are encouraged to turn to full judicial mechanisms. Obstacles within the individual application to the European Court appear insurmontable. However, transnational civil litigation could be effectively brought before the domestic courts through the implementation of the proposed changes

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the conditions under which CSR definition, research or implementation are influenced and contextualized by local, especially institutional, factors or in the contrary can be integrated in a universal approach. Two different national context are explored, France and China. However, thesis analysis is more specifically focused on Chinese institutional environment and the first chapter deals with this topic. In the chapter 2, through an analysis within two disciplines, management and law (primarily French but also American and Chinese law), a CSR definition is proposed but results highlight the difficulty to reach a universal definition of CSR. In the chapter 3, a textual analysis was used on a 600 articles sample to investigate the structure of academic research in the field of CSR and related concepts in China from 1980 to 2011. In the chapters 4 and 5, a single case study concerning a French multinational corporation (MNC) operating in China since 1995 was conducted. Findings of the chapter 4 establish that a combination of different factors influence the CSR internationalization strategy of the said MNC. Factors that may drive variation in CSR practices across countries are studied in the chapter 5. Findings show that in the same institutional environment, depending on CSR issues and institutional norms, the implementation of CSR strategy by the said MNC subsidiary in China sometimes reflects and sometimes is a substitute to Chinese institutional and economic context while the impact remains unclear in certain cases

Full textHow can multinational corporations contribute to the substainable development of developing countries ? Embezzling capitalism in a global social and political project encompasses the combination of utopianism (the aim of intra- and trans-generational justice) and strategy taking into account the clashes of interests within the economic and political spheres. Substainable Development involves a redefinition of the different kinds of responsability for corporations : economic, social, societal, political. Multinationals should also pay attention to the cultural aspect of development. The search of worldwide implementation of sustainable development implies the ethical education of the elites and the assessment of the global role of States and institutions in order to define the compulsory aspect of corporate social responsability. The reflection inspired by Michaël Walzer is supported by studies of four companies' activities (Total, Unilever, Lafarge and Michelin) in Kenya and Nigeria

Full textThe research work presented in this thesis addresses the relationship between strategy and organizational design in the context of multinational Corporations (MNC). First building and then exploiting two ad hoc information databases, this work helps in designing a conceptual framework that both rejuvenates and nourishes reflections about that relationship.The first information source is a theoretical one. Building on the strategic and international management literature, a new reading is developed that reinterprets organizational design and strategy through a new spatial lens. Drawing insights from authors that have specialized on space-related questions such as Lefebvre (1974) or Lussault (2006), it is shown here that strategies at the corporate level actually deal with questions about perceived distance among activities or geographical environments. Strategic execution is then concerned with two tools: cutting-out organizational spaces and locating decision nodes. Those tools foster information and knowledge exchanges, both in and through space. The second information source is an empirical one. It results from the cross-analysis of secondary data extracted out of several databases, mainly drawn from French national databases, and consists into two samples: a group-level sample (166 French MNCs) and a firm-level sample (245 French subsidiaries that are controlled by a French MNC).Confronting the two resulting information sources, a whole framework appears that let us both deepen and enlighten our reasoning about the question: “How is MNF’s spatio-organizational design to be conceived?”
