Through an in-depth exploration of the problems raised by the study of learning styles, this article continues the dialogue introduced in the three previous articles. It begins by describing the foundations and the concept of learning style. Next, it provides an overview of the research that has been carried out, and discusses the implications of that research for teaching. The study takes up again some of the comments from the previous articles to help stimulate and clarify thinking on the meaning and place of learning styles in education.

Given the importance of knowing how to search, evaluate and use information on the Internet, this study aims to know the informational skills used by teachers in order to document, by observation, their mode of operation and their level of ease during a keyword research. This descriptive and exploratory research allowed the discovery of new research strategies as well as the adaptation and enrichment of an information skills model developed from existing models. In conclusion, we analyze these results in relation to existing research while offering avenues of recommendations for improving teacher training.

Autonomy of monetary policies, coordination of fiscal policies and external constraint, by Jean Bensaïd, Dominique Bureau.The best way to reduce external disequilibria between industrial countries has been the main topic of economic policy debates in the eighties. The use of monetary policy and exchange rates movements or capital flows to finance easily external disequilibria has been gradually questioned. Genberg and Swoboda (1987) suggest to assign monetary policy to achieve internal GDP growth. Moreover monetary policy could be used in an autonomous way by each country. By contrast, differences in fiscal policies between countries could explain external disequilibria. To reduce them, countries should coordinate their fiscal policies. In this article such claims are tested with a small model which proceeds from the Atlas multinational model.

The term structure of interest rates : expectations, the term premium, and the maturity of the long term bond wtth respect to secular US dataSecular U.S. data (1873 - 1975) tend to valid the standard model of the term structure of interest rates when particular hypotheses on expectations and the term premium prevail, and when we suppose a partial adjustment mechanism between the term compartments of the bond market. Indeed, empirical results lead to the six following findings :1)Expectations included in the term structure of interest rates are not rational ; they rather appear to be conform to a regressive — adaptative process ;2)The arbitrage standard model seems to be more performant when it takes into account the risk of default ;3)Contrarily to the influence of the level of interest rate, the influence of past volatility of interest rate on the term premium is confirmed ;4)The arbitrage relation gives a time varying equilibrium point to which the market converges continuously ;5)The results are in accordance with the hypotheses that the expected rate of change in the real money supply acts on expectations in the long term bond priee and/or on the term premium ;6)When the maturity of the long term bond increases, bondholders seem to assign a decreasing weight to the expected return and an increasing weight to the volatility.

In the business world, it is increasingly common to find unlikely partnerships with competitors when it is necessary to combine forces to gain a competitive advantage collectively. For a company, “coopetition”(cooperation among competitors) is paradoxical because the purpose is to increase performance with the help of competitors in an attempt to capture a larger share of the market to their detriment later on. Coopetition is thus based on transferring skills and pooling technology with the risk that this partnership is exploited opportunistically when competition returns. The article examines this issue precisely in terms of how a company creates and maintains a competitive advantage by working with its competitors without undermining this collective advantage by opportunistic strategies. To answer this question, we look at the case of the Union Nationale des Coopératives Agricoles d'Élevage et d'Insémination Animale (UNCEIA).

This article pertains to the positive factors ensuring successful professional integration of immigrant women, a subject poorly documented in the literature. The study describes the factors and processes favorable to the successful professional integration of French-speaking African immigrant women in Winnipeg. Using a qualitative approach and guided by social capital and acculturation theories, findings suggest that these women's success depended on personal skills and social capital, their participation in networks and their ability to seek advantageous opportunities. Faced with difficulties in their professional ascent, they have developed strategies and accommodations to achieve success.
