The empirical impacts of risk management on the enhancement of control mechanisms in organizational studies

Résumé :

The paper examines the empirical effects of managerial risk on the optimization of control mechanisms. The results obtained emphasize the positive influence of managerial risk on the optimization of control mechanisms in industrial and commercial state companies. The results highlight, among other things, the presence of a favorable condition to the efficiency of risk taking, showing that the boards’ follow-up significantly increases the influence of managerial risk on the efficiency of the control mechanisms.

Analysis model of regional development impact indicators and its impact on building systems protocol

Résumé :

Sustainable development does not only refer to environmental issues. Development policy concerns all issues related to human well-being, including both economic, social and environmental aspects. Some United Nations publications, such as the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document, recognize these three important points as “mutually reinforcing interdependent pillars”, and underlie the declaration of Human Rights all over the world. However, even in this globalization era, the different environmental disciplines generate their own paradigm according to the region and culture, without considering that sustainable development is a cross-cutting issue to all disciplines. Based on these perspectives, methodological proposals have been set up to assess what is sustainable or not sustainable.

The effects of rhetorical ambiguity in advertising on comprehension and persuasion: moderating role of tolerance of ambiguity

Résumé :

This work studies the relation between the various levels of ambiguity rhetoric and advertising persuasion. The latter is apprehended via the emotion, itself approached through the affective reactions induced by the ad. The conceptual model integrates a mediating variable: comprehension, as well as a moderating variable: the tolerance to ambiguity. The empirical investigation follows different steps: principal components analysis, confirmatory analysis and variance analysis. The software AMOS 18 and SPSS 17 made it possible to obtain results presenting of many theoretical, methodological and managerial contributions.
