    In nowadays’ competitive business environment, ERP systems have become an important strategic tool. This study provides an overview of current research on ERP systems. Its aim is to identify the main advantages, disadvantages and critical success factors for implementation of ERP systems discussed in the relevant literature. In order to do so, numerous journal papers and conference proceedings have been designated. We started by selecting the papers that analyzes the ERP implementation process and followed by making a selection of papers that discuss the factors on which companies can rely to guarantee the success of the implementation project of the said system. The results show that while some organizations might face difficulties and challenges in implementing ERP systems, many others are already taking advantage and profiting from the benefits the system offers to the firm. The ERP system is conducive to the smooth flow of general functional information, practice across the organization. It also improves supply chain efficiency and reduces lead times. However, companies cannot gain the full benefits of the ERP package without top management support, accurate and precise data, proper business plan, strategy and vision, business process re-engineering, effective project management, user involvement and training, active communication and change management.   Keywords: ERP system, CSF, Implementation, Success, failure JEL Classification: M15, G17, G30 Paper type: Theoretical ResearchIn nowadays’ competitive business environment, ERP systems have become an important strategic tool.

    The relationship between information and communication technologies (ICT), participatory governance, and sustainable development has become increasingly important in the contemporary world. It is important to discuss it because these concepts are all critical for achieving sustainable development goals. Sustainable development involves meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and it requires a holistic approach that addresses economic, social, and environmental factors. This theoretical article investigates the complex interplay between Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Participatory Governance, and Sustainable Development. In order to explore this relationship, the article draws on a review of existing theoretical models and empirical studies. The data for this study was collected through a systematic review of existing literature on the topic, including academic articles, policy documents, and reports from international organizations. Additionally, the article explores the different ways in which multiple countries have realized this relationship, including case studies of the implementation of these concepts. The article draws on a range of studies that have been conducted to investigate the relationship between ICT, Participatory Governance, and Sustainable Development, providing insights into the various challenges and opportunities that arise in this context. The results of the study suggest that there is a need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between these concepts, and for a holistic approach to their implementation in order to achieve sustainable development goals. The study also highlights the importance of considering the local context and the unique challenges and opportunities of each situation when designing projects and initiatives that incorporate these concepts. Ultimately, the article argues that while there are challenges associated with the implementation of ICT, Participatory Governance, and Sustainable Development, there is a strong case for their continued use in future projects and initiatives aimed at achieving sustainable development goals.

    Digitalization and New Public Management

    Get PDF
    The emergence of well-being and quality of life concepts in the workplace is driving significant changes in the public sector. This shift is characterized by the adoption of new labor standards that prioritize the holistic well-being of employees. This transformative approach is often referred to as "transformational management," and it aims to enhance the involvement of various strategic actors within the organization, as noted by Jacobsen in 2017. This transformation in the public sector reflects a broader evolution in the way work is structured, leadership is exercised, and organizational processes are managed. One of the key frameworks underpinning this transformation is the concept of "New Public Management" (NPM). NPM represents a set of principles and practices that seek to make public organizations more efficient, accountable, and responsive to the needs of citizens. It emphasizes results-oriented management, decentralization of authority, and a focus on customer satisfaction. Moreover, digitalization plays a pivotal role in this ongoing transformation. The integration of digital technologies and data-driven approaches into public administration processes is reshaping the way services are delivered and decisions are made. It enhances efficiency, transparency, and accessibility for both employees and citizens. Numerous studies have delved into the conceptual foundations and justifications for these changes introduced by NPM and digitalization in the public sector. These studies help provide a deeper understanding of how these frameworks can lead to improved public services, more engaged employees, and ultimately contribute to the well-being and quality of life of both the workforce and the citizens they serve. As the public sector continues to adapt to evolving demands and expectations, this research becomes increasingly valuable in shaping the future of public administration. In our article, we opted for the wealth of conceptual literature. Through in-depth essays, we explore the complex nuances of abstract ideas that shape our thinking.   Keywords: Digitalization – New public management – public administration. Classification JEL: H111 Paper type: Theoretical Research  L’émergence des concepts de bien-ĂŞtre et de qualitĂ© de vie au travail entraĂ®ne des changements importants dans le secteur public. Ce changement se caractĂ©rise par l’adoption de nouvelles normes du travail qui donnent la prioritĂ© au bien-ĂŞtre holistique des salariĂ©s. Cette approche transformatrice est souvent appelĂ©e « management transformationnel » et vise Ă  renforcer l'implication des diffĂ©rents acteurs stratĂ©giques au sein de l'organisation, comme le notait Jacobsen en 2017. Cette transformation dans le secteur public reflète une Ă©volution plus large dans la façon dont le travail est structurĂ©, le leadership est exercĂ© et les processus organisationnels sont gĂ©rĂ©s. L'un des cadres clĂ©s qui sous-tendent cette transformation est le concept de « nouveau management public » (NPM). Le NMP reprĂ©sente un ensemble de principes et de pratiques visant Ă  rendre les organisations publiques plus efficaces, plus responsables et plus rĂ©actives aux besoins des citoyens. Il met l'accent sur une gestion axĂ©e sur les rĂ©sultats, la dĂ©centralisation de l'autoritĂ© et l'accent mis sur la satisfaction du client. De plus, la numĂ©risation joue un rĂ´le central dans cette transformation en cours. L’intĂ©gration des technologies numĂ©riques et des approches basĂ©es sur les donnĂ©es dans les processus de l’administration publique remodèle la manière dont les services sont fournis et les dĂ©cisions sont prises. Il amĂ©liore l’efficacitĂ©, la transparence et l’accessibilitĂ© tant pour les employĂ©s que pour les citoyens. De nombreuses Ă©tudes se sont penchĂ©es sur les fondements conceptuels et les justifications de ces changements introduits par le NMP et la numĂ©risation dans le secteur public. Ces Ă©tudes aident Ă  mieux comprendre comment ces cadres peuvent conduire Ă  des services publics amĂ©liorĂ©s, Ă  des employĂ©s plus engagĂ©s et, en fin de compte, contribuer au bien-ĂŞtre et Ă  la qualitĂ© de vie de la main-d'Ĺ“uvre et des citoyens qu'ils servent. Ă€ mesure que le secteur public continue de s’adapter Ă  l’évolution des demandes et des attentes, ces recherches deviennent de plus en plus utiles pour façonner l’avenir de l’administration publique.

    The organization of the territory in network and dynamic territorial attractiveness of companies: Case of the region of Rabat-Salé-Kenitra

    Get PDF
    Today, with globalization, territories are open systems embedded in a highly competitive world. In this context of competitiveness, the territory, as a support for public action, plays a crucial role in the formation of its attractiveness of companies. In this sense, public action contributes to the formation of a territorial offer in an implant market, considered to be the place of confrontation between a demand for services and goods formulated by investors and an offer aimed at the attractiveness and anchoring of companies. Through this research, we aim to understand the role of networking actors in the formation of the territorial attractiveness of companies. The aim is to show that, beyond the economic and financial factors, the networking of the various actors allows the development of territorial attractiveness. To do this, we chose the Rabat SalĂ© Kenitra region in Morocco as our fields of investigation. As the objective of the research is explanatory, the methodological approach adopted is qualitative in nature. We collected primary data from 15 semi-directing interviews with stakeholders involved in the formation of the territorial attractiveness of companies. The choice of actors was made on the basis of a generalized rule of determining the boundaries of networks, proposed by Doreian and Woodard (1994). The completion of our study allowed us to highlight that spatial proximity, territorial specialization, institutional and structural social capital and symbolic attachment to the territory favor the networking of actors and hence the development of the territorial attractiveness of companies. Today, with globalization, territories are open systems embedded in a highly competitive world.

    Dynamisme des Politiques Economiques pour Parvenir à la Stabilité Economique : Evidence de la Côte d'Ivoire

    After more than a decade of wandering, linked to successive socio-political instabilities, the institutional environment in CĂ´te d'Ivoire is more or less favorable to the proper functioning of the economy. Indeed, these numerous crises have caused a deterioration in the business climate, pushing foreign investors to other more stable sub-regional economies. Since April 2011, the state has embarked on the implementation of economic policies that can improve the dynamism of the economy in order to initiate the development process. This study analyzes the dynamism of economic policy instruments on economic growth in CĂ´te d'Ivoire. The analysis of the cointegration between the variables in our study shows the existence of a cointegration relationship. This justifies the choice of an autoregressive vector model with a lag. Through annual data covering the period 1987 to 2020, the results of our estimates show that a high tax rate would lead to a drop in the level of economic activity. This means that taxation has a distorting effect on economic activity because it promotes tax uninviting behavior such as tax evasion and tax evasion. Likewise, a high unemployment rate would lead to a considerable drop in economic growth. Conversely, increased government spending and controlled inflation would benefit the economy. It emerges from all of the above that intervention through the stimulus policy based on increased spending on education and health is necessary to stimulate the process of economic growth.     JEL Classification: E4, E62, O23 Paper type: Empirical researchAprès plus d’une dĂ©cennie d’errance, liĂ©e aux successives instabilitĂ©s sociopolitiques, l’environnement institutionnel en CĂ´te d’Ivoire est plus ou moins favorable au bon fonctionnement de l’économie. En effet ses nombreuses crises, ont engendrĂ© une dĂ©tĂ©rioration du climat des affaires poussant les investisseurs Ă©trangers vers d’autres Ă©conomies sous rĂ©gionale plus stable. Depuis avril 2011, l’État s’est lancĂ© dans la mise en place des politiques Ă©conomiques pouvant amĂ©liorer le dynamisme de l’économie afin d’amorcer le processus de dĂ©veloppement. Cette Ă©tude analyse le dynamisme des instruments des politiques Ă©conomiques sur la croissance Ă©conomique en CĂ´te d’Ivoire. L’analyse de la cointĂ©gration entre les variables de notre Ă©tude ne montre aucune existence de relation de cointĂ©gration. Ce qui justifie le choix d’un modèle vectoriel autorĂ©gressif Ă  un retard. Ă€ travers des donnĂ©es annuelles couvrant la pĂ©riode 1987 Ă  2020, les rĂ©sultats issus de nos estimations montrent qu’un taux d’imposition Ă©levĂ© conduirait une baisse du niveau de l’activitĂ© Ă©conomique. Cela signifie que la fiscalitĂ© a un effet distorsif sur l’activitĂ© Ă©conomique, car elle favorise des comportements d’incivisme fiscal tels que la fraude fiscale et l’évasion fiscale. De mĂŞme, un taux de chĂ´mage Ă©levĂ© engendrerait une baisse considĂ©rable de la croissance Ă©conomique. Ă€ l’inverse, une augmentation des dĂ©penses gouvernementales et une inflation contrĂ´lĂ©e seraient bĂ©nĂ©fiques pour l’économie. Il ressort de tout ce qui prĂ©cède que l’intervention par la politique de relance basĂ©e sur l’augmentation des dĂ©penses d’éducation et de santĂ© est nĂ©cessaire pour stimuler le processus de croissance Ă©conomique.   Classification JEL : E4, E62, O23 Type de l’article : Recherche empiriqu

    Les Facteurs Clés de Succès de l'Externalisation Logistique: Cadre Conceptuel

    One of the biggest emerging sectors in economics is logistics outsourcing. The number of outsourcing organizations and logistics service providers has exploded, resulting in a fierce competition. Both outsourcing firms and service providers faced profound challenges in their outsourcing endeavors. To take full advantage of the outsourcing potential, outsourcing organizations require a deeper awareness of the success and failure elements, as well as the risks that go along with them. On a financial, organizational, and operational level, the benefits of outsourcing logistics activities are diverse and complex. However, it is equally true that it conceals considerable dangers that businesses must consider before making a decision. Indeed, this decision-making causes significant long-term organizational and structural changes to the company that makes it, and even if resumption of operations is still possible, the corporation will have to pay very expensive "reintegration costs". This requires making in-depth research into the suitability of this strategy as well as the circumstances for its success prior to making a decision in order to get a good return on investment. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to provide a general overview of logistics outsourcing by identifying the factors that influence the success and performance, drawing on transaction and resource cost theory and other empirical studies.     JEL Classification: D21, L21, L25, P17 Paper type: Theoretical ResearchL'externalisation de la logistique est l'un des plus grands secteurs Ă©mergents de l'Ă©conomie. Le nombre de prestataires de services logistiques a explosĂ©, entraĂ®nant une forte concurrence. Les entreprises qui externalisent ces activitĂ©s logistiques et les prestataires de service logistique ont dĂ» faire face Ă  des challenges dans leurs projets d'externalisation. Pour tirer profit du potentiel de l'externalisation, les entreprises qui externalisent ces activitĂ©s logistiques doivent ĂŞtre conscientes des facteurs de succès et d'Ă©chec, ainsi que des risques qui les accompagnent. Sur le plan financier, organisationnel et opĂ©rationnel, les avantages de l’externalisation des activitĂ©s logistiques sont diversifiĂ©s et complexes. Cependant, il est tout aussi vrai qu’elle cache des dangers considĂ©rables que les entreprises doivent prendre en considĂ©ration avant de prendre une dĂ©cision. En effet, cette prise de dĂ©cision provoque d’importants changements organisationnels et structurels Ă  long terme pour l’entreprise qui le fait, et mĂŞme si la reprise des opĂ©rations est encore possible, la sociĂ©tĂ© devra payer des "coĂ»ts de rĂ©intĂ©gration très coĂ»teux". Pour ce faire, il faut effectuer des recherches approfondies sur la pertinence de cette stratĂ©gie et sur les circonstances de son succès avant de prendre une dĂ©cision afin d’obtenir un bon rendement du capital investi. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de cet article est de fournir un aperçu gĂ©nĂ©ral de l’externalisation logistique en identifiant les facteurs qui influencent le succès et la performance, en s’appuyant sur la thĂ©orie des coĂ»ts de transaction et des ressources et d’autres Ă©tudes empiriques.     Classification JEL: D21, L21, L25, P17 Type de papier: Article ThĂ©oriqu

    The study seeks to investigate the relationship between health and safety and the commitment of employees of selected construction companies in Bamenda and to verify if health measure is a moderating variable of the relationship between safety measures and commitment. To attain this objective, data was collected through a questionnaire administered to employees of selected construction companies in the town of Bamenda on a sample size of 203. The data obtained was analysed with versions 20.0 of SPSS. We use the structural equation modelling to test our hypothesis. Our results reveal that health measures have a positive and significant relationship with affective and continuance commitment, and has no significant relationship with normative commitment. Again, our results reveal that safety measures have a significant and positive relationship with the affective, continuance and normative commitment of employees for their organisations, and we also found that health measures mediate the relationship between safety measures and the commitment of employees. From these results we recommend that owners of construction companies in Bamenda should ameliorate the health and safety measures so as to keep their employees committed to the organisation.   JEL Classification: M12, M19, M54 Paper type: Empirical researchL'Ă©tude vise Ă  Ă©tudier la relation entre la santĂ© et la sĂ©curitĂ© et l'engagement des employĂ©s des entreprises de construction sĂ©lectionnĂ©es Ă  Bamenda et Ă  vĂ©rifier si la mesure de la santĂ© est une variable modĂ©ratrice de la relation entre les mesures de sĂ©curitĂ© et l'engagement. Pour atteindre cet objectif, des donnĂ©es ont Ă©tĂ© recueillies au moyen d'un questionnaire administrĂ© aux employĂ©s des entreprises de construction sĂ©lectionnĂ©es dans la ville de Bamenda sur une taille d'Ă©chantillon de 203. Les donnĂ©es obtenues ont Ă©tĂ© analysĂ©es avec les versions 20.0 de SPSS. Nous utilisons la modĂ©lisation par Ă©quation structurelle pour tester nos hypothèses.

    The influence of the financial crisis on the Moroccan economy

    Get PDF
    Overall GDP growth in Morocco slowed from 5.8% in 2008 to 1.5% in 2009, and then picked up slightly to 3.2% in 2010. However, the pace of recovery remains weak. Real GDP growth was just over 3% in both 2011 and 2012 and is expected to remain around the same level in 2013. The pace of growth has been especially slow in the non-agricultural sector where GDP declined by 1.9% in 2009. By sector, the contraction was primarily driven by reductions in investment in construction and a slowdown in activity in the service sector. As a result, employment in the non-agricultural sector fell by over 1 million during the financial crisis period, while unemployment increased from 7.6 in 2008 to 11.2% in 2010 and has remained above 10% since then. Meanwhile, Morocco's economy has suffered from many structural weaknesses that have held back its long-term development. These include a heavily statist industrial policy and a lack of financial sector reforms. Corruption has also taken a heavy toll on the economy, with the average household paying an estimated 650 per year in bribes. The country also continues to face significant challenges in addressing unemployment and social inequality, which are likely to continue to constrain economic growth in the years to come. In this article, we have tried to assess and examine the financial crisis and the economy at the national level through statistics. This paper aims to discuss the influence of the financial crisis on the Moroccan economy to stimulate knowledge development in the economic sector. It is based on an overview of the relevant literature on financial problems and their impact on the Moroccan economy with a perspective vision. The recommended research areas aim to advance the knowledge base to help the Moroccan economic sector recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial crisis, by proposing recommendations and ways of improvement to reverse the harmful effects of the crisis.

    Since the emergence of the concept of " digitalization " and its adoption by the professional sphere, an eminent need for measurement and control has followed for efficient management of the performance of firms. Digitalization has become increasingly important in today's business world, as it enables organizations to streamline processes, enhance productivity, and improve customer experiences. By leveraging digital technologies, firms can automate routine tasks, reduce errors, and gain insights from large data sets that help them make more informed decisions. Additionally, digitalization promotes collaboration and communication, both internally and externally, making it easier for teams to work together and share information. This, in turn, increases efficiency and reduces the time and costs associated with traditional communication methods. The purpose of this article is based on a critical analysis of scientific papers to identify firstly the main factors, issues, and challenges of digitization as well as the tools and indicators chosen by the literature for performance measurement, secondly to study the theoretical contribution of digitalization to the improvement of business performance. More specifically, we focused our bibliographic research on the use of digital practices and their impact on the financial performance. Overall, this article provides insights into the relationship between digitalization and business performance. It highlights the importance of measuring and monitoring the impact of digital practices on financial performance and the need to consider the context in which these practices are implemented. The results have shown, on the one hand, that digitalization has a positive impact on the financial performance of companies, and on the other hand, in different contexts, that digitalization has a negative impact on financial performance. This multitude of results is mainly due to the change in the context and the measurement variables.   Keywords: digitalization, financial performance, firms, innovation, value creation.

    This research focuses on the contribution of internal communication, through its various antecedents, on social performance by integrating human skills and entrepreneurial motivation in Morocco. Given the development of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), individual and collective behaviors at work have changed, so we faced difficult communication. The application of human resources management is more requested so that it promotes the acquisition of knowledge, their exploitation, know-how, and creativity everywhere to companies, public and private organizations, indeed this application improves the working conditions and the acquisition of global performance. We have carried out a state of the art on theoretical framework, through which we seek to highlight the contributions of internal communication within the organization on the managerial level. This literature review has allowed us to establish eight hypotheses concerning the delimitation of the concept of internal communication, to determine its purposes and consequently to identify the dimensions of said purposes; with qualitative methodology through its four contributions to the organization, in this case, the commitment, satisfaction, motivation and individual performance that represent a management lever capable of developing a capacity and a performing competence.   Keywords: Internal Communication; Organizational Commitment; Corporate Social Performance; Know-How.
