{"title":"La performance des PMEs internationales: État des lieux et pistes de recherches futures","authors":"Philippe Lamb,&nbsp;Oussama Darouichi,&nbsp;Claudia Jonczyk Sédès","doi":"10.1002/cjas.1675","DOIUrl":"10.1002/cjas.1675","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) jouent un rôle essentiel dans le commerce international (Suh et Kim, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Toulova, Votoupalova et Kubickova, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). Elles représentent plus de 99% des entreprises, 70% des emplois et contribuent entre 50% à 60% de la valeur ajoutée au niveau mondial (OCDE, &lt;span&gt;2017a&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2017b&lt;/span&gt;). Aussi, plus de 78% des entreprises exportatrices dans le monde sont des PME (Li, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nous pouvons distinguer différentes catégories de PMEs internationales&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; selon l'organisation des activités à l'international (Torrès, &lt;span&gt;1997&lt;/span&gt;). La « PME internationale » se contente de vendre ses produits sur les marchés étrangers, alors que la « PME globale », pleinement intégrée à l'international, coordonne ses activités en amont et en aval de sa chaîne de valeurs dans de nombreux pays. Enfin, la « PME glocale » commercialise ses produits sur le marché domestique, mais coordonne des activités en amont de sa chaîne de valeurs, telles que des importations ou l'engagement de personnel étranger. Aussi, St-Pierre et Perrault (&lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;) mettent en évidence trois dimensions mutuellement non-exclusives de l'internationalisation de la PME. L'internationalisation « mercantile » combine des activités d'exportation, d'importation, de sous-traitance et éventuellement d'investissement direct étranger. L'internationalisation technologique concerne l'amélioration des activités de production, R&amp;D et des compétences relatives à partir de ressources situées à l'international. Enfin, l'internationalisation organisationnelle se réfère à la capacité de la PME de gérer les projets à l'international, en termes de contrôle de la valeur, d'efficacité et de gestion des risques.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La PME internationale est un sujet largement débattu depuis l’étude pionnière de Johanson et Wiedersheim-Paul (&lt;span&gt;1975&lt;/span&gt;). En revanche, l'intérêt pour la performance des PMEs internationales est relativement récent. Alors que les premières études sur le sujet apparaissent dans les années 1990 (Hart et Tzokas, &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt;; Lefebvre, Lefebvre et Bourgault, &lt;span&gt;1998&lt;/span&gt;; Rolfo, Vaglio et Vitali, &lt;span&gt;1993&lt;/span&gt;), la question de la performance est devenue l'un des sujets les plus débattus dans la littérature portant sur les PMEs internationales (Morais et Ferreira, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Ribau, Moreira et Raposo, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). En effet, il s'agit d'un enjeu de taille du point de vue managérial. Cela est d'autant plus vrai dans le contexte économique actuel. La globalisation et la digitalisation ont augmenté l'intensité concurrentielle, ce qui oblige les PME à accroître leur compétitivité à l'international (Etemad, Wilkinson et Dana, &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;; Lemaire, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Manyika, Lund, Bughin, Woetzel, Stamenov et Dhingra, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En raison du nombre croissant de contributions scientifiques relatives à la performance des PME internationales (Figu","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"39 4","pages":"O65-O84"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjas.1675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114788016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon the stressor-emotion model of counterproductive behaviors, we argue that supervisors' overtime hours positively relate to abusive supervision behaviors through negative emotions, which in turn undermine leader–member exchange relationships. We further posit that this process is exacerbated among subordinates with a strong relational self-concept. Multisource multilevel data collected from an organizational sample of 181 employees and longitudinal data from 416 employees from multiple organizations support our predictions. This research indicates that the consequences of working overtime extend beyond supervisors, as subordinates may be negatively affected when their supervisors work long hours.

This study explores how ICTs are affecting public accountability forums and how citizens interact with elected and appointed government officials. A case study of a municipal government in Ontario, Canada, describes how a virtual public accountability forum emerged and functioned based on social media data and interviews with public officials. The case demonstrates that social media can facilitate new channels of interaction between citizens and public officials. Key features of these virtual forums include anonymous participation, variable duration, and dynamic audience size. The case also demonstrates that the demand for information provision within accountability relationships is not just a singular type of ex-post exchange. There is a new channel of information exchange that is continuous and malleable because it can evolve and change instantaneously over ICTs.</p>","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"39 3","pages":"313-327"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131002596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The digital transformation of the theory of the firm can address this gap by deconstructing the standpoint of methodological individualism. In transaction cost economics, this standpoint is manifest in two assumptions about human nature, namely bounded rationality and opportunism. Drawing on Chester Barnard's insights on the firm, the present paper seeks to construct a view of organizations as emergent systems irreducible to the activities of participating individuals. By inverting the assumptions of bounded rationality and opportunism, the paper differentiates between two varieties of the emergent nature of the firm, cognitive and moral. The ideas of the cognitive and moral emergence of the firm expand the pallet of options for the firm to adapt to socioecological systems and illuminate the notion of sustainability transitions. This way, the digitally enhanced understanding of the firm offers hope for a better dialogue between the economic theory of the firm, sustainability scholarship, and business ethics.</p>","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"40 3","pages":"270-282"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50150471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
