This paper refines existing literature on supply chain integration (SCI) by exploring its possible adverse effects on higher levels of SCI on firm performance. Furthermore, we explain how trust offsets the negative effects of increased integration. Based on data gathered from 152 firms in the United States, our research reveals two important results: (1) an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between supplier integration and firm performance, (2) the levels of trust attenuate the effects of increased integration on firm performance. Finally, using the relational view and transaction costs theory, we discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of our research results.

The objective of this research is to understand to what extent different forms of media stigmatization have prompted some residents living in urban working-class neighbourhoods to consult sometimes far-right or “conspiratorial” protest websites. A survey was conducted among adults who were met in their youth during an immersive study for a doctoral thesis on the lifestyles of young people in urban neighbourhoods. We then used the data collected to understand the processes that led the majority of our participants to turn away from traditional media and consult websites offering protest discourses against institutions. In this empirical work, we sought to grasp how our respondents turned to far-right, anti-Semitic, conspiratorial or protest websites or blogs with the development of the internet.

This article presents a new theoretical reference which takes into account the political dimension of the spatial stakes of contemporary societies: inhabited democracy. This framework is firstly constructed through the intersection of the axes of the renewal of permanent education in French-speaking Belgium with the theory of spatial justice that I put forward among a group of researchers, including Jacques Lévy et Jean-Nicolas Fauchille. In the first part, I summarise the historical references of legitimacy of permanent education as well as their translation in the regulation of this field by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (FWB). From such a portrait, I identify the emergence of a new framework that I call inhabited democracy. Once theorised, this framework postulates that the collective production of a lengthy cultural or artistic project can share the aims and tools of certain forms of participatory democracy. With a geographical focus, this collective production refers to citizens work which specifically concerns questions related to the inhabiting of contemporary space. In the second part, I develop the case study of a permanent educational device for participatory cinema: the Ateliers urbains of the Centre Vidéo de Bruxelles (CVB). The case study is based on a process of slow collaborative reflexivity, that I have developed with the CVB since 2020. The back and forth between theory and empirical analysis of films and its methods lead to the formulation of three stakes on which the internal coherence of inhabited democracy in practice depends, presented in the conclusion.

Young immigrants attending school in France are classified as “allophones,” which implies special educational needs associated with learning French. Introduced as a means of guiding the implementation of public policy, the category has come to be used by secondary school teachers to reify the figure of the foreigner—a process of stigmatization that resonates well beyond the classroom. In response, young immigrants have adopted discursive adaptation strategies, through which they reconcile earlier processes of socialization with the realities of immigration. However, given their more limited access to resources for constructing a narrative identity, these young people tend to reappropriate the “Allophone” category used by their teachers in various ways. Their narratives highlight the diverse impacts of the migration process on identity building, including how it shapes their relationship with life in France.

The lack of consensus on the definition of concepts such as “culture” and “development” as well as the dominance of modernization theory explain the difficulties faced in identifying a clear theoretical framework for understanding the influence of culture both on economic development trajectories and organizational practices. In this article, I will examine the main controversies that have shaped the literature within which the relationship between culture, economic development and management has been debated. Then, I will highlight the need to go beyond the tradition/modernity dichotomy associated with modernization theory to offer new ways of thinking about the influence of culture in building and implementing effective organizational practices in countries from the Global South.
