Book Description
De manière générale, la thèse s’intéresse aux conséquences organisationnelles de l’introduction de nouvelles technologies qui provoquent un « changement fondamental » dans l’entreprise. Plus spécifiquement, la recherche propose d’étudier la mise en place d’une catégorie particulière de technologies qualifiées de « majeures » : les technologies de l’information (TI), en se posant deux questions centrales. Dans quelle mesure la mise en place de nouvelles technologies (majeures) peut-elle être couronnée de succès et de ce fait considérée comme une arme stratégique par l’entreprise considérée ? Quelle est la dynamique sous-jacente aux changements technologique et organisationnel induits par l’introduction d’une nouvelle technologie affectant l’organisation ? A partir d’une réflexion d’ordre analytique et méthodologique originale, notre recherche se propose de découper le processus de mise en place d’une nouvelle TI en trois phases : la phase de pré-adoption (qui se déroule pendant le processus qui conduit à la décision d’adoption), la phase d’implantation (qui caractérise le paramétrage et l’ensemble des formations nécessaires aux utilisateurs) et la phase de généralisation (qui se concentre sur les processus d’apprentissage par la pratique et l’utilisation systématique de la technologie par sa communauté d’utilisateurs). En ce sens, les problèmes d’appropriation et d’usage s’observent sur le plus long terme que notre phase de généralisation, dans la mesure où, comme nous le rappelle François-Xavier de Vaujany, l’appropriation dépasse la formation de routines définitives et ainsi l’utilisation systématique que nous souhaitons étudier dans la phase de généralisation. Si notre approche ne souhaite pas particulièrement s’inscrire dans un courant sociologique qui accorderait une place centrale aux utilisateurs et à l’usage que ceux-ci font de la TI, nous estimons que ces deux approches ne sont pas contradictoires et peuvent tout à fait être mobilisées de manière complémentaire. L’idée défendue dans la thèse est que si une meilleure compréhension du contenu de chaque phase éclaire notre analyse du changement, ce dernier doit être également complété par une analyse de l’articulation des phases, tenant compte d’une interprétation intégrative du succès et des échecs (soit complets, soit partiels) de ce type de projets.

Book Description
Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Book Description
Professionalism is arguably more important in some occupations than in others. It is vital in some because of the life and death decisions that must be made, for example in medicine. In others the rapidly changing nature of the occupation makes efficient regulation difficult and so the professional behaviour of the practitioners is central to the good functioning of that occupation. The core idea behind this book is that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is changing so quickly that professional behaviour of its practitioners is vital because regulation will always lag behind.

SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Book Description
Throughout the contest for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, politicians and voters alike worried that the outcome might depend on the preferences of unelected superdelegates. This concern threw into relief the prevailing notion that—such unusually competitive cases notwithstanding—people, rather than parties, should and do control presidential nominations. But for the past several decades, The Party Decides shows, unelected insiders in both major parties have effectively selected candidates long before citizens reached the ballot box. Tracing the evolution of presidential nominations since the 1790s, this volume demonstrates how party insiders have sought since America’s founding to control nominations as a means of getting what they want from government. Contrary to the common view that the party reforms of the 1970s gave voters more power, the authors contend that the most consequential contests remain the candidates’ fights for prominent endorsements and the support of various interest groups and state party leaders. These invisible primaries produce frontrunners long before most voters start paying attention, profoundly influencing final election outcomes and investing parties with far more nominating power than is generally recognized.

Book Description
Develops a theory of contemporary culture that relies on displacing economic notions of cultural production with notions of cultural expenditure. This book represents an effort to rethink cultural theory from the perspective of a concept of cultural materialism, one that radically redefines postmodern formulations of the body.
