... Research in the field of innovation has considered aspects such as sustainability [3][4][5], use of technology [6][7][8], rural studies [9], social innovation [10], country studies [11][12][13], educational innovation [14,15], and political studies [16]. ...

... Rien ne prédestinait la transition énergétique à rebattre les cartes de la gestion du territoire forestier de La Tuque (figure 4). Non seulement la biomasse occupe une place marginale dans le l'offre énergétique québécoise, mais de plus, les programmes d'investissement alloués à la valorisation énergétique sont orientés vers la modernisation de l'industrie papetière et l'amélioration de la compétitivité des grandes entreprises privées (de aussi la Nation Atikamekw qui voit là l'occasion de faire avancer concrètement les sujets sensibles de l'emploi de sa population et de la cogestion du développement forestier en adéquation avec ses usages et ses valeurs culturelles (Wyatt et Chilton, 2014 (Labelle et al., 2019). ...

... De este modo, el concepto de RSE no es unánime, sino que existen diversas acepciones que se complementan en el tiempo con las investigaciones más recientes sobre el tema (Avilés León y Salessi, 2019;Bermudez-Colina y Mejías-Acosta, 2018;Campos López et al., 2018;Corral et al., 2016;Fanti y Buccella, 2019;Grijalva Morejón y Fernández Lorenzo, 2020;Hernández Sánchez et al., 2017;Herrera Acosta et al., 2020;Hurtado García, 2019;Labelle y Navarrete Báez, 2018;Marí Farinós, 2016;Méndez, Rodríguez y Cortez, 2019;Morell-Jiménez, 2019; Pérez Herver y Zapata Sánchez 2019; Revollo Lijeron y Borrás Atiénzar, 2019; Severino-González et al., 2021;Sotelo Barroso y Durán González, 2017;Suárez Morán, 2019;Tavares Amazonas et al., 2018;Vallaeys, 2020). Además, la RSE, es un tema de investigación transversal, que puede ser abordado desde múltiples perspectivas y disciplinarias, tales como la empresarial, universitaria, hospitalaria, sustentabilidad, entre otras (Padilla et al., 2017;Severino-González et al., 2020acomo se citó en Severino-González, et al., 2021. ...

... En forma resumida presentamos la siguiente viñeta explicando el por qué es importante estudiar a las PYME en México, como en todo el mundo (Labelle y Navarrete-Báez, 2018). Lo que se puede observar que tienen un gran impacto positivo en la parte económica, pero en la parte social, y no se diga la ambiental, el impacto es negativo, principalmente por su alta vulnerabilidad. ...

... In the Czech Republic, scientists stress that "there is insufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to exploit the potential of bioeconomy based on the principles of sustainable development, and it is therefore necessary to focus more resources on research and development, innovation, new technologies, and practices meeting the priority objectives of bioeconomy and circular economy" [12]. Scientists have made similar conclusions in their studies about Italy [13], Finland [14], and Canada [15] etc. In addition, the European Union [10] points out that a sustainable and circular European bioeconomy should be one of the key elements in implementing the European Green Deal. ...

... Alternative arrangements through collective ownership of infrastructure and other resources could be fostered, along with new SC coordination forms, alternative designs and biorefinery scales. This could include designing more local and closed-loop SCs with the valorisation of by-products in more symbiotic systems (Lemire et al., 2019). In addition, strategies for biorefinery product range are also highly contextdependent. ...

... Behaviour is therefore associated with the activation of actions, activities by an individual or responses to stimuli in the context in which the individual evolves. Behaviours are particularly visible or audible (Aka et al.,2018). Focusing on the behaviour of board directors of FFs is important because behaviour is what can be observed through words and actions that shape our interactions with others. ...

... The manner of how EV relate to SEI has not been fully clarified in previous empirical research studies [30]. EV can negatively influence SEI when they are related to reducing the economic value that an individual can provide for himself/herself through entrepreneurial activity, due to the increasing costs of covering environmental damage; however, they can influence it positively when they can create economic value by treating social and environmental problems as business opportunities to be solved through successful business ventures [11,[55][56][57]. Empirical research results emphasized positive direct linkage between EV and SEI [30] or positive indirect relations mediated solely by personal attitudes toward sustainable entrepreneurship [34]. ...

... Plusieurs études concluent à un effet de l'âge sur les choix en matière de RSE. Les dirigeants âgés se montreraient plus sensibles au développement durable (Serwinek, 1992;Brady et Wheeler, 1996;Labelle et St-Pierre, 2010;Paradas et al., 2017). En raison de leur expérience, ils percevraient mieux les conséquences de leurs actions sur l'environnement et leurs salariés (Dawson et al., 2002). ...

... Managers of SMEs generally do not possess knowledge or know-how in the management of prevention [89] or efficient evaluation and monitoring of OHS risks [88,45]. They tend to work long hours, 50 to 70 per week [126], which leaves them little time to improve their knowledge of OHS, certainly not by reading scientific journals, even when they are capable of understanding the language of scientific publication. According to a relatively recent survey, 32.7% of directors of SMEs have completed high school or less, 32% have a college diploma, 22.5% have a bachelor's degree and 12.6% have a graduate degree [7]. ...
