From Intention to Action: Lessons from a 20-Year Journey of Change
Our recent study, published in the Journal of Management Studies, is based on a 20-year observation of institutional change in Algeria, North Africa. We explored how a family-owned company succeeded in modernizing agriculture and triggering significant institutional change by collaborating with public authorities and farmers to tackle national food insecurity. This case offers new insights into the role of intentionality—the ideas we hold in mind—in shaping change-oriented action.
Intentionality and Attentionality Dynamics in an Institutional Change Process
‘Millions of items of the outward order are present to my senses which never properly enter into my experience. Why? Because they have no interest for me. My experience is what I agree to attend to’ James ( 1890, p. 402). INTRODUCTION How do actors' intentions emerge, evolve, and gradually shift toward a purposeful desire to change existing institutions? That is the main concern in this article.
Prolongement de l’autoroute 20 dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent | Les valeurs de la société ont bien changé en 20 ans
Un projet d’infrastructure inédit est en cours au Bas-Saint-Laurent. Ce pont, qui sera le plus haut du Québec, au-dessus de la rivière des Trois Pistoles, se distingue par le délai record entre son évaluation environnementale et sa concrétisation, ainsi que par le laps de temps potentiellement le plus long entre les audiences du Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement (BAPE) et la réalisation du projet.
Projet Northvolt : peut-on réussir un mégaprojet sans acceptabilité sociale ?
Ce serait le plus grand investissement privé de l’histoire du Québec. Le projet Northvolt, annoncé en septembre 2023, prévoit l’établissement d’une gigantesque usine de batteries sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal. Afin de persuader l’entreprise suédoise à s’installer au Québec, les gouvernements fédéral et provincial collaborent en finançant conjointement le projet à hauteur d’environ trois milliards de dollars, soit 40 % du financement total, estimé à sept milliards.

Les entreprises peuvent-elles atteindre une véritable durabilité ?
Il est rare qu’une journée passe sans que l’on entende parler de la fragilité de nos écosystèmes naturels et des répercussions que l’activité économique linéaire a sur eux. Cet état de fait n’est pas récent – il perdure au moins depuis que le club de Rome nous a mis en garde, dès 1972, qu’une croissance économique infinie et un développement démographique rapide sont incompatibles avec la vie sur Terre. La situation actuelle est, sans équivoque, alarmante.
A new UN report offers businesses a template for achieving true sustainability
By Sofiane Baba, Université de Sherbrooke Not a day goes by without hearing about the fragility of our natural ecosystems and the repercussions that extractive economic activity are having on them. This state of affairs is not recent — it has been ongoing at the very least since the Club of Rome non-profit warned us back in 1972 that infinite economic growth and rapid demographic development are incompatible with life on Earth. The situation today is even worse.

Did governments around the world initially over-react to the COVID-19 pandemic?
The COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about the dangers of the virus have diverted attention from the primary response to the crisis — the decision to lock down entire populations. Yet there are important questions to ask. Why did the world go into major lockdown for this infection and not for other coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, which most experts considered more life-threatening, although the number of cases worldwide was much lower.
