Corporate reputation is more and more the most valuable asset for a firm. In this day and age, corporate reputation, although an intangible asset, is and will grow as the most essential asset to publicize and also protect. Social media are a formidable tool to publicize a firm's brand and improve its reputation. However, it can also be deadly. Asso...

Corporate reputation is increasingly identified as the most important strategic asset in value creation for a company. Scholarly interest in the concept of corporate reputation has led to a five-fold increase in the number of peer-reviewed articles and studies over the past decade (Barnett et al., 2006). Yet, there is no commonly accepted definitio...

La réputation de l’entreprise est de plus en plus reconnue comme l’actif stratégique le plus important sur le plan de la création de valeur. L’intérêt des scientifiques à l’égard du concept de réputation de l’entreprise a contribué à faire quintupler le nombre d’articles scientifiques et d’études publiés au cours de la dernière décennie (Barnett et...

Depuis 1999, au Québec, le taux de féminité diminue en sciences et en génie. Ce taux a diminué de 34% en 1999 à 29,2% en 2007 au 1er cycle universitaire (nommé baccalauréat au Québec). Lorsqu’on ne considère que les programmes de 1er cycle en génie, il est passé de 18% à 16,4% durant la même période (V. Boiteau et N. Ghazzali (2008).

Unlabelled: This article follows an earlier one in which four criteria and four bases for the development of an indirect-cost calculation model adapted to the accuracy requirements and time constraints of workplace decision-makers were established. A two-level model for calculating indirect costs using process mapping of the organizational respons...

Industrial activity involves the production and use of hazardous materials (hazmat) at fixed installations, and the transportation of hazmat between facilities. Those facilities make storage decisions that may increase the number of deliveries, and therefore transportation risks as well. In a previous study, we showed that these transportation acti...

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) stakeholders rarely factor the cost of workplace accidents into prevention spending decisions. The lack of consideration of this key information is related to the fact that the scientific literature has failed to provide OHS stakeholders with a cost-calculation tool that is both sufficiently accurate and does no...

Il est assez rare qu’un transport de matières dangereuses (MD) se fasse uniquement par un seul mode de transport. Le plus souvent, il s’agit d’une chaîne logistique plus complexe regroupant différents modes de transport successifs. Dans ce contexte, il nous a paru important d’étudier les enjeux et les problématiques du transport multimodal, d’autan...

Modelling the transportation and storage tasks associated with supply chains is usually based on a tacit or mathematical representation of physical flows. However, remaining at this level of representation seems inadequate for risk management. This study proposes to insert new graphical tools into the models to improve the representation of hazardo...

When faced with logistics decisions (outsourcing, means of transportation, trip frequency, etc.), firms will generally choose the option that permits cost minimization. However, the risks associated with hazardous materials (hazmat) have led to the development of several models where both costs and risks are taken into account in the decision makin...

Dans le cadre d’un premier projet avec Santé Canada, nous avions comme mandat de faire un portrait de la dynamique industrielle au Québec. Pour réaliser ce mandat, nous avons construit une base de données unique qui regroupe l’ensemble des secteurs industriels à l’étude (défini comme un groupement de code SCIAN) ainsi que des données pour 30 indica...

L’aide apportée par la Croix-Rouge, Division du Québec joue un rôle majeur dans la protection civile au Québec.
