"De la visibilité. Excellence et singularité en régime médiatique" interroge l’ascension de l’élite sociale nouvelle que composent, depuis le début du XXe siècle et avec l’appui du système médiatique, ceux que l’on rassemble sous l’appellation de people. Très charpenté, l’ouvrage ici présenté a la forme et l’envergure d’un fort volume distribué en six parties allant de la définition de la « visibilité » (sous forme de capital social spécifique) aux valeurs morales qui s’y rattachent.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY, STRATEGY AND ACCOUNTING CONTROLS: AN EXPLORATION OF CORPORATE PRACTICES

The accounting and management control literature demonstrates the key role of management control to support strategy implementation. However, despite several calls in the social and environmental accounting research (Parker, 2000; Chung and Parker, 2008), to date, very few studies have explored how management controls support the implementation of a sustainability strategy in practice. With reference to Malmi and Brown framework (2008), this paper explores the existence of a selection of accounting-based controls (planning, cybernetic control as well as reward and compensation systems) to support sustainability strategy deployment. Concretely, based on the qualitative analysis of seven cases, it investigates what kind of accounting-based management controls exists in multinational corporations to support the implementation of an explicit sustainability strategy [less ▲]

The economic and environmental feasibility of biogas buses in Liege

Everyday, many students at the University of Liège have to drive to the Sart-Tilman village to attend their courses. These journeys are responsible for the emission of harmful particles which have negative impacts on climate and human health. This paper analyzes the economic and environmental feasibility of using biogas buses for public transport in Liège. The idea of implementing biogas buses is based on the proposed recycling of organic waste by the company INTRADEL, which manages and treats waste in the region. The economic and environmental advantages and drawbacks of biogas buses are developed and compared with those of the current diesel bus fleet. The main conclusion of this study is that, while internalizing external costs due to pollution, the use of biogas buses becomes an attractive option compared with classical diesel buses. Nevertheless, it requires investment and might lead to resistance to change. However, it remains a good solution for the reduction of CO2 emissions. [less ▲]

In this presentation, we argue that the sociology of social networks may provide interesting insights with regard to the emergence of social entrepreneurship both at micro and macro levels. There have already been several calls for research on social networks in the context of social entrepreneurship (Certo & Miller 2008; Gedajlovic, et al. 2013; Haugh 2007; Mair & Marti 2006; Short, et al. 2009). These calls often address the differences in structure and effects of social networks in a social entrepreneurship setting as compared to commercial entrepreneurship. So far, these calls have poorly been answered and there remain important gaps in the literature. We first briefly present the sociology of social networks. Then, in order to clarify the gap, we review the extant literature on social entrepreneurship with regard to social networks. Next, we identify, within the entrepreneurship literature, theoretical frameworks that use social networks as a source of entrepreneurship. Finally, we explore those identified frameworks and evaluate whether they may be relevant for future research in social entrepreneurship. [less ▲]

Since the ‘80s, when the concept of phytoremediation first appeared, a lot of research has been put into studying the efficiency of woody plants in metal extraction. Willows, as fast growing plants and because of their tolerance to difficult edaphic conditions, have been particularly well investigated. In this investigation, the essays were done on Salix clones, which come from a Walloon collection provided by ECOLIRI and ECOLIRIMED projects. The first objective was to study the potential of these local clones by considering not only their ability to extract their pollutants, but also by adding their biomass production to this parameter. We have called the study of these criteria the phenotypic approach to the tolerance of Salix clones to metals. The second added value of this investigation lies in the second objective which aims to complete these phenotypic criteria with physiological and proteomic criteria. These last criteria are often used to study the metal tolerance of plant species, but rarely for willows. The combination of these different approaches gives a expand view of metal tolerance in Salix clones studied in this investigation. As the phenotypical parameters help to answer the extraction ability challenge, the physiological and proteomic approaches give answers linked to the “health” of the willow trees when they grow in the presence of metals. Our results indicate that the clones that produced more biomass were the ones that showed the highest metal concentrations. The clones with lower biomass production showed the same tolerance as the highest producers and our results revealed that growth reduction indicates metal tolerance. Finally, after comparing our results of the metal concentrations obtained in the twigs, to results obtained during the last two decades of research papers, we have concluded that we should reconsider the use of Salix potential in phytoextraction. The first chapter of this investigation was about Salix clones exposed to metals, but, in natural conditions, their roots are colonized by fungi. Thus, their rhizosphere constitutes a separate ecosystem, which is interesting to investigate. The rhizospheric fungi, the first interface between roots and soil pollutants, play an important role in metal tolerance in woody plants. For this reason, the second chapter of this thesis aimed to test the in vitro growth of rhizospheric fungi collected on woody plant roots in the presence of cadmium. The outcome of these essays is that fungal strains have been identified and classified as tolerant to this metal. This chapter thus constitutes a first step in a future study aiming to analyze these strains in association with woody plant roots in the presence of metals. [less ▲]
