« Entre représentation et participation : Le management comme un entre-monde »

07Fév7 février 2021 By Admin

François-Xavier de Vaujany - Université Paris Dauphine-PSL - DRM

D’un côté, la démocratie représentative est en crise. Les institutions qui portent la démocratie représentative vivent de longue date une remise en question profonde de leur légitimité. Elles seraient « isolées », trop « en hauteur », « en retard » sur les problèmes de leur époque. Certains n’hésitent plus à attaquer physiquement leur mode d’incarnation. A l’heure où nous sommes dans l’inconnu le plus extrême, où l’exercice du pouvoir exécutif est certainement plus difficile que jamais, des torrents de critiques se déchaînent sur les acteurs du monde politique. A l’autre extrême du continuum démocratique, les pratiques de démocratie participative sont de plus en plus présentes. Les tiers-lieux, les jardins partagés, les plateformes coopératives, les sciences ouvertes, les initiatives citoyennes, se multiplient. Très souvent, trop souvent, elles pallient les insuffisances des capacités et des temporalités du pouvoir représentatif. Mais elles ont

Sens du télétravail : trop de crise, trop d’évidences ?

23Oct7 février 2021 By Admin

Incontestablement, le télétravail s’installe dans le paysage français. S’ils étaient 7% d’actifs à télétravailler avant la crise du covid fin 2019 (3% en 2017 selon la DARES), ils ont été plus de 23% au cœur de la première vague du covid, et même plus de 40% si on intègre le recours à des formes de télétravail plus informelles. Une majorité de salariés semblent y trouver leur compte, puisque selon une étude de Malakoff Humanis du mois de juin, ils étaient 84% à souhaiter poursuivre le télétravail après le confinement. Pour le cas du secteur privé, la moitié des salariés a expérimentée cette pratique pour la première fois. Sur le fond, la plupart des actifs français sont plutôt satisfaits des possibilités offertes par le télétravail, en tous cas dans le contexte actuel.

Au-delà de ces raisons apparentes de se réjouir, la crise sanitaire que nous vivons a eu une conséquence majeure

Ouvrir les sciences humaines et sociales

19Juil7 février 2021 By Admin

Les promoteurs des sciences ouvertes ou citoyennes sont plus nombreux que jamais. S’ils ont d’abord été principalement issus du continent des sciences « naturelles », ce sont de plus en plus les acteurs des sciences humaines et sociales qui sont aujourd’hui dans le souci de l’ouverture. En revenant sur cinq années d’expérimentations ouvertes d’un collectif de chercheurs (RGCS), j’aimerais donner quelques éléments de réponse à la question : Qu’entend-on par « ouvrir » la science ? Quel sens donner à cette question quand on s’intéresse à des domaines a priori immédiatement accessibles comme les sciences humaines et sociales ? Après tout, il n’y qu’à aller dans une bibliothèque ou sur le Web pour y trouver des idées vulgarisées et donc accessibles. Et si l’on a du mal à comprendre le propos d’un physicien nucléaire, celui d’un.e sociologue ou d’un.e chercheur.e en gestion, peut-il vraiment poser problème ? Son jargon ne

Re-inventing Research Events: Towards a Hybridization of Labs and Conferences?

28Mai7 février 2021 By Admin

Since the beginning of RGCS, this is strong obsession: how to re-invent academia? How to co-produce new academic events? More in touch with society? Contributive to sustainable common worlds? Most academic events follow a dichotomic logic (see figure 1 below).

Figure 1: Two main logics behind research events today?

On the one hand, some research entities and events embody continuities and activities. Laboratories, research groups, internal seminars, are space-time where and when research goes on. The content of research is produced from there, continuously, actively, all year long. Stable and co-present communities, grounded into a specific territory (most of the time a city) are here and now. Of course, logics of distributed projects (global projects) extend in space and time the production and assemblage of knowledge, but the process remain highly continuous. Interestingly, some researchers stress that true encounters, serendipity, openness of labs and their events would be a powerful

Call for Special Issue : Workplace transformation in the post-Covid-19 society

13Mai7 février 2021 By Admin

The Journal of Corporate Real Estate (JCRE) is pleased to announce a call for papers for a special issue devoted to papers on the aftermath of COVID- 19 pandemic and workplace-related challenges that have been caused by the recent lockdown. With enforced social and physical distancing, many offices have taken the toll and will need to adapt to meet future expectations and demands of their occupants. Several branches of the workplace industry are affected and it seems that future office trends may take a new and unpredicted turn.

The main aim of this special issue is to cover a number of aspects based on the effect on occupiers themselves (e.g., workplace management, arrangements within existing workplaces and design of new workspaces, etc.), the effect of occupiers’ COVID-19 workplace decisions on the wider commercial real estate markets, the consequences for home

Presentation of Kaunas as RGCs chapter

The city of Kaunas is the second largest Lithuania‘s city. Kaunas is located at the confluence of the two largest Lithuanian rivers, surrounded by the hills and situated at the crossing of international roads going North to South (Tallinn to Warsaw, to Berlin) and East to West (Minsk to Klaipeda). Due to its geographical position, Kaunas is Lithuania‘s most important center of multi-modal communication.

The city is famous for its Interwar architecture which was awarded the European Heritage label and is on its way to UNESCO. Kaunas is the only city in the world where so much of the style of the buildings has survived to the present day. The city keeps the authentic spirit of the country‘s national character alive.

Kaunas, also called the temporary capital city of Lithuania, was chosen as the

Work is changing and so is society as a whole. Debates on its future have been particularly animated over the past three years, (re)launched by discussions on digital technologies, self-employment, individuals with multiple careers (slashers), universal income, or questions of new forms of management, solidarity and governance.

Focusing on employment, work or management practices, these debates have had one merit: to bring to light the multiple possible futures of work.

In its latest research note, “The future of work in 2030: four atmospheres?”, the international network and think tank RGCS offers a multi-faceted vision of the future of work.

Assembling the old and the new worlds: plugging an unconference into a conference

18Sep By Admin

By Marie Hasbi (Université Paris II)

Summer is filled with notable academic conferences. For organization researchers, July is particularly notable for holding the annual and big conference of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS), an interdisciplinary event about organizations, organizing and collective activity. As most academic conferences, EGOS colloquia provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss their research papers through sessions and sub-themes.

In 2017, The Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS) added an event off the track, an unconference called: “Organization & Organizing of the Sharing Economy” (OOSE). I have been part of the organizing committee of the two first sessions in 2017 and 2018.

Behind the Unconference Scene

Each season, through a series of Skype planning meetings, our small group of conveners shared visions about a gathering that might both enhance and criticize the current thinking on the sharing and … Read more
