This exploratory research aims to characterize, on the one hand, the concept of environmental management control (EMC) through the practices that underpin it, and, on the other hand, the tensions associated with it and the implementation of these practices in public organizations. Although EMC is attracting growing interest within the public sector, it seems to be facing technical and governance difficulties. A grid for analyzing management tools and the theory of organizational paradoxes is used to address the issue of characterizing EMC practices and the associated tensions in the local public sector. Various municipalities were mobilized to explore and characterize their first experiences of implementing EMC. Our results enable us to characterize both the tools used and the tensions gen

This study investigates the concept of “collective bricolage” within the framework of creating a universe science observatory in France. In the face of significant transformations in higher education and research, this article examines how university stakeholders can employ collective bricolage to adapt to institutional mandates for restructuring. Drawing on Lévi-Strauss’s notion of bricolage and the theoretical contributions of Duymedjian and Rüling (2010), this research investigates how this bricolage can be implemented in the absence of conventional or normative space to support the process, and particularly within a context characterized by conflictual relationships. The case study analyzes the collective bricolage process and its components, demonstrating that the dialectical nature o

New Public Management (NPM) has been the subject of academic study in many sectors, but much less so in the cultural sector. This article focuses on poetry, the actions of public authorities in a largely publicly funded sector, and the consequences of these actions on the status and social life of poets. Using a qualitative methodology based on interviews, this article shows that NPM has influenced cultural policy in poetry by creating a quasi-market of literary activities and sources of income for poets (readings, performances, workshops, scholarships and grants, and residencies) where demand from public authorities (state, local authorities, multiple autonomous actors financed by public funds) for “artistic services” provides work opportunities to poets in the form of short, non-renewabl
