SummaryThe development of a student professional portfolio in the Occupational Therapy Program at the University of Ottawa was guided by the obligation for occupational therapists to use a portfolio in their daily practice and the need to give a sense of responsibility to students in relation to their studies. A research-action methodology was chosen to conceive the portfolio and its contents, to facilitate its application, and to assess its use in a numerical format. The results of the research support the simplicity of the content and its organisation, a procedure for guided use and a beginner level numerical format. According to the authors, a professional portfolio can be a very interesting learning tool, however, particular attention must be directed to the numerical format so that it does not hinder students' reflection and learning.

This article aims to understand how alternative communication models, such as street marketing, affect the user experience of public officials in a covid-19 context, based on the case of Cameroon. The pilot sample comprises ten (10) public officials interviewed in ten (10) public organizations using the semi-structured interview technique. The results of the manual and automated content analysis (via Nvivo 10) underline that street marketing, through aspects linked to product distribution and public dialogue, brings substantial benefits in terms of user experience in the environment studied. In this dynamic, user experience is translated from two angles: through behavioral experience on the one hand, and positive emotional consequences on the other. In this context, research has shown that operational street marketing maneuvers in the public sphere, in the context of Covid-19, have an impact on the strategic and organizational functioning of structures, by increasing the leverage of population protection and the reinforcement of barrier measures in the context of Covid-19. In addition, certain managerial aspects such as participation, the promotion of freedom of expression, solidarity and better organization functioning are public values unveiled in this framework and which contribute to improving the socio-security efficiency of public structures in terms of relational proximity between the State and citizens in terms of public health.

Marked by decades of conflict, peace remains fragile in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly in the eastern Kivu provinces. Since schools constitute an appropriate environment to transform the persistent culture of violence, this article examines the attitudes of 1 642 secondary school teachers in Goma and Bukavu toward peace education. Regarding Civic and Moral Education (indirect peace education), teachers are optimistic, though the curriculum presents peace in an abstract manner. The acceptance of corporal punishment also remains concerning. Direct peace education addressing recent conflicts is more divisive: While most support it, teachers in Goma show reluctance because of persisting insecurity. When to introduce direct peace education, if ever, then becomes a central question.

Creative industries play an increasingly important role in the socio-economic aspects of our society. We describe organizations as being creative when they operate within these industries. These organizations are characterized by a tension between management and creativity. Studies detailing the management of these organizations focus mainly on the creative workers and particularly on the hiring of the right people for these positions. Rarely are questions asked in relation specifically to the project managers working within these organizations. Our research is based on the analysis of 11 case studies of advertising firms from which we conducted 35 semi-structured interviews. We aimed to understand the roles of managers and the personal attributes that are sought-after for these positions. First, our results show that these managers follow the traditional roles of project management, although they adapt their practices to be suitable to the personalities of the creative workers. Second, the results show that managers play a critical role within these creative organizations. They are responsible for managing the tension between management and creativity, thereby ensuring the viability of the organization. They must also preserve and promote the creativity of their workers while at the same time respecting clients’ needs. These managers must therefore, in addition to having project management skills, also have the ability to adapt and relate to artistic work. The main contribution of this research is to develop a more nuanced portrait of the typical project manager, not only in terms of their role and qualities but also their importance within organizations by drawing on examples from creative organizations.

Labor shortages are a major issue for SMEs in Quebec's metallurgy sector, with impacts that can go as far as threatening their very survival. In this study, we examine how SMEs in this sector mobilize their organizational capabilities to confront this issue. The results, drawn from semi-structured interviews with thirteen participants from different SMEs, highlight the central role of strategic leadership, which acts as a macro-capability facilitating the mobilization of other capabilities. As such, members of our sample utilize a wide range of capabilities, such as human resource management, the development of competencies, and collaboration. We categorize these capabilities according to the three roles of strategic leadership: managing, influencing, and working with others.

This research proposes to reconsider Open Innovation in terms of coopetition. Only very few studies have specifically focused on such an approach. These logics of coopetition are analyzed in the context of the “patent pools”, an organized form of open innovation we describe as “opening large-scale”, that has been little investigated in the managerial literature. We show that patent pools are based on the simultaneous development of collaborative and competitive practices, whether in their constitution or their operation and then draw lessons from their management regarding the coopetition in Open Innovation.

Mobile payment appears to be an ideal solution in this period of global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. However, more than half of Ivorians (53.13%) continue to be reluctant to use mobile payment. With this in mind, this research explores the determi-nants of the use of mobile payment and their influence on usage intention. The influence of these factors was tested using a structural equation model on a sample of 250 Ivorians. The results show that trust and ease of use positively influence the Ivorians’ intention to use mobile payment. As for perceived security, a good perception of security has no influence on the intention to use, while a poor perception of security has a negative influence on the intention to use.
