We study the behavior of managers of a public company, the Chérifien Phosphates Office, and local officials engaged in a relationship of CSR. What are the theoretical foundations of this relationship and the strategies of these actors ? We formalize, from game theory, the influence of managers of the OCP on the action of elected officials. This influence is exercised either by cooperation or by the control. It can lead to information asymmetry generated by politicians. We examine the attitude of managers OCP facing this biased situation to draw managerial lessons.

The scope of this study was to identify strategic scanning characteristics that were likely to contribute to the success of high technology SMEs. A multi-site case study methodology was used to achieve this research objective. A profile of strategic scanning characteristics likely to lead to higher performance among high technology SMEs emerged from our research in the field. The innovation orientation of the top management team is the driving force behind scanning activities, encouraging and guiding these activities. Scanning is thus opportunity driven and geared towards a long term horizon. Results also suggest that information networks are strategically managed to yield information that will contribute to innovation.

Research Framework: Long conducted in parallel, studies on life stages and gender have converged more in recent years, but still leave large areas uncovered. Some analyzes still treat sex as a simple variable that does not require problematization. Others lose sight of the fact that growing up and aging generate categories and trajectories that are the result of interactions of sex and age. The link between gender and age thus still needs to be tightened. Objectives: The introductory article of the issue "Life Stages, Gender and Temporalities" proposes to explore the interactions between age and gender relations by examining the gendered constructions of ages and the life trajectories structured by gender. Methodology: This article lists studies by sociologists and historians exploring gender/age links. Results: The articles presented help to show to what extent gender and age relationships overlap and interact in the development of social inequalities throughout the life of individuals. They also participate in questioning the social hierarchy which is "mechanically" based on gender and certain age-related markers. Conclusions: The joint analysis of gender and age relations is progressing, but slowly, and still remains in the blind spot of intersectional perspectives. While current research now recognizes gender and age as constantly interacting systems, it too seldom addresses the power relations and the cumulative inequalities they generate. Contribution: This introductory article opens up new research perspectives, both with regard to the gendered processes favouring the development of sexual physical characteristics and to the dominant social codes that shape heteronormative experiences and temporalities.
