Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the publication of the new issue of M@n@gement : https://management-aims.com/index.php/mgmt/issue/view/534
This issue is important to us for several reasons.
First of all, it represents the last issue of our mandate as co-editors of M@n@gement. This is an opportunity for us to warmly thank all the people who have contributed in one way or another to this adventure: authors, reviewers, readers, former editors, associate editors, our publishing partner Open Academia, the CNRS InSHS, and finally, AIMS for its unfailing support. A special mention to Olivier Germain whose mandate is reaching an end and who has contributed so much to the journal with the creation and animation of the so much appreciated and characteristic of M@n@gement section "Unplugged".
Second, this issue starts with an editorial in which we explain and describe M@n@gement's policy about open research data. The journal has been committed to open science for more than 30 years. So we feel it is important to continue along this path by reflecting on the challenges posed by open research data in management sciences and how to respond to them : https://management-aims.com/index.php/mgmt/article/view/9123
Third, in this issue you will also find a contribution by Grégory Jemine, François Pichault and Christophe Dubois. In their article, the authors seek to better understand how universities are implementing new ways of working by emphasizing the major role played by ambiguity, which allows links to be made between individual rationalities and collective decision-making processes. François Bousquet, Valérie Barbat and François Cooren seek to understand how rituals can favour the integration process of liminal individuals. To this end, they have carried out a study of a case of ritual of passage within a highly ritualised non-religious organization: a Masonic lodge. Next, Liliane Carmagnac, Valentina Carbone and Anne Touboulic study the extent to which a meta-organization can change the attribution of responsibility for sustainability in logical supply chains, focusing on the underlying power dynamics. Finally, Pascale Bueno Merino and Marie-Hélène Duchemin, based on a rich qualitativ e analysis, look at the role of psychological support for entrepreneurship, based on same-sex group mentoring, and show how this reinforces female entrepreneurial intention in the specific context of a women-only incubator.
To close this rich issue, two Unplugged pieces are proposed. The first is a carte blanche offered to Olivier Germain for his last issue. The second is a reflection by Chahazad Abdallah after reading Grégoire Chamayou's book on the 'ungovernable society'.
Finally, the last word we wanted to share with you is inclusiveness. Being inclusive does not mean the adoption of the same standards by all. On the contrary, we need places that foster alternative voices and practices, a space that the M@n@gement journal offers. This is why we have made explicit in our code of ethics, for editorial team, reviewers and authors, the need to adopt epistemically fair citation practices. We will continue to work on developing alternative approaches because science can be done differently, while remaining science and retaining its rigour and relevance.
We wish you a good reading and best wishes for 2023,
Héloïse Berkowitz and Hélène Delacour
