    Abstract: Could sociocratic governance be seen as a managerial innovation? The authors examine this question, focusing on the sociocratic decision circle, which redistributes power and responsibility according to a principle of equivalence. However, integrating sociocracy into the French cultural context appears to be a challenge. The intervention research methodology here is based on two organizational ethnographic studies, one of an alternative school and the other of a food store and community center. The results highlight the learning of the ability to initiate proposals and formulate objections. This is seen as an enrichment both for the individuals and the two organizations, leading the authors to see sociocracy as a seed for more solidary and sustainable management.
    Abstract: La gouvernance sociocratique pourrait-elle être vue comme une innovation managériale ? Les auteurs étudient cette question en mettant l'accent sur le cercle de décision sociocratique, qui redistribue pouvoir et responsabilité selon un principe d'équivalence. L'intégration de la sociocratie dans le contexte culturel français apparaît toutefois comme un défi. La méthodologie de recherche intervention se base ici sur deux ethnographies organisationnelles, d'une école alternative et d'un magasin d'alimentation et tiers lieu. Les résultats soulignent l'apprentissage de la capacité à initier des propositions et à formuler des objections. Ceci est vu comme des richesses tant pour les personnes que pour les deux organisations, conduisant les auteurs à voir dans la sociocratie le ferment d'un management plus solidaire et durable.

    Abstract: The grievance mechanism is based on a survivor-centric approach i.e., empowering the survivor ofgender-based violence by prioritizing their rights, needs, and wishes. This note provides an overview of the grievancemechanism’s setup and details for teams who may be considering implementing a similar mechanism in their projects.

    Abstract: S'il existe de nombreux dispositifs de soutien à la recherche et à l'innovation, leurs orientations et intitulés sont rarement tournés vers la logistique alors que cette dernière constitue un enjeu transversal à plusieurs défis contemporains que les politiques publiques s'évertuent à prendre en charge. Dans cette communication, nous proposons une approche par l'effectuation du financement de la recherche, ce qui impliquera en particulier de dresser un panorama des principaux dispositifs de financement de la recherche et de l'innovation dans le contexte français. Ce faisant, en mobilisant la logistique non comme objet de recherche mais comme terrain de discussion prospective, nous proposerons quelques pistes afin de permettre aux chercheurs en supply chain management de mieux s'y repérer et, peut-être, de se positionner dans ce paysage afin de développer leur agenda de recherche.

  4. By: Anke Hoeffler; Patricia Justino
    Abstract: Aid is still an important feature of the development landscape. Fragile states, in particular, have the greatest development needs but due to their poor governance they are the least likely countries to use aid effectively to meet their development challenges. In this paper, we explore which fragile states receive most aid flows, which donors are particularly active in fragile states, and which type of projects are the focus of these aid flows to fragile states.

  5. By: APC-Bard, AI
    Abstract: Crowdfunding is a way to fund a project by pooling incremental investments from a large number of funders. This can be a great way to fund OA publications, especially for projects that lack traditional funding sources.

    Abstract: 전 세계적으로 다수의 국가와 기업이 탄소중립을 추구함에 따라 다량의 온실가스를 배출하는 산업부문의 감축 노력이 강화되고 있다. 본 연구는 주요국의 정부뿐만 아니라 민간의 온실가스 감축 전략을 비교분석하고, 설문조사를 토대로 우리나라 중소기업의 정책 수요를 파악하여 시사점을 도출하였다. 특히 산업부문의 탈탄소화 과정에서 중소기업의 역할이 중요함에도 이를 다각도로 분석한 연구가 부족하다는 점에서 차별성을 확보하고 있다. The international community has stepped up efforts to achieve carbon neutrality or net zero emissions and has begun to expand the scope of greenhouse gas management to all companies in the supply chain. In particular, the decarbonization of industries that emit large amounts of greenhouse gases is an important task for countries not only to effectively respond to climate change, but also to improve their energy security and international competitiveness. Although decarbonization can be achieved by all companies regardless of their sizes, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are struggling with a lack of resources and capabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of national and multilateral carbon-neutral strategies, identify policy demands of SMEs based on survey results, and derive implications for the decarbonization of the industrial sector and, in particular, SMEs in Korea. Chapter 2 mainly analyzes policies to reduce greenhouse gases in the industrial sector and cases of multilateral cooperation between both major governments and global companies. Sweden, Germany, the United States, the UK and Japan are increasing their financial support for decarbonization efforts in their industrial sectors, also rearranging relevant policies and institutions. Sweden is working closely with the EU and its local governments to support carbon reduction projects, and also subsidizes investments with greenhouse gas reduction benefits but not expected to generate a return on investment without subsidies. Germany is inducing technological innovation and international cooperation among SMEs. The United States is expanding its investment in clean energy and providing research and development funding to SMEs and startups through federal agency-level programs such as SBIR/STTR programs. The UK is promoting decarbonization particularly in high-emitting industrial clusters, and is stimulating private investment through public funding for technology innovation. Japan is expanding its financial support in this area, for instance through tax benefits for companies pursuing green transformation (GX), and helping SMEs and startups enter or expand their business in developing countries through funds including Official Development Assistance (ODA).(the rest omitted)
