International audienceSous la poussée institutionnelle et sociale, les entreprises ont étendu leurs relations d'échange au-delà de la sphère économique et recherchent la légitimation de leurs actes. Les thématiques du développement durable (DD) et de la responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise (RSE) suscitent, depuis quelques années, un intérêt soutenu, et devient un objet d'étude pour les chercheurs en sciences de gestion et en marketing.

Le consommateur libanais est désormais exposé à de nombreux messages porteurs d'engagements sociétaux. Dès lors, cette recherche s'attache à montrer comment ce dernier perçoit les actions des entreprises libanaises inscrites dans des logiques de Responsabilité Sociale, et de vérifier si cette perception impacte son intention d'achat

Opskrbni lanci znanja u vremenu propadanja istine: uloga enciklopedija

Our information sphere—the space where we not only express our opinions, but where we also form our opinions—is facing significant challenges. The core trends of »truth decay«— growing disagreement about facts; blurred lines between opinion and fact; increasing influence of opinion over fact; and declining trust in formerly respected sources of factual information—have become increasingly evident in the strategic and systemic dilution and distortion of information that contribute to increasing fragmentation of society, deepening already existing divisions. Over the past three years, growing geopolitical tension and asymmetric warfare have further increased the visibility of and focus on the weaponisation of information and, by implication, the weaknesses of our collective cognitive security. Societal and economic repercussions of the pandemic and the accompanying »infodemic«, the accelerated geopolitical competition, as well as recent domestic political violence in the USA and—most recently—Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, have increased the sense of urgency to defend and reinvigorate the information ecosystems that form the core of our liberal democracies, enabling everyone to not only express their opinions, but also to form their opinions, to make informed choices without being manipulated. Against this backdrop, the strategic importance of strengthening our knowledge supply chains is growing. Reinvigorating already existing components of our shared information sphere—including national verified encyclopedias—can help boost collective cognitive resilience against information manipulation, both in and beyond Europe. The external face of such investments can contribute to developing new aspects of European knowledge diplomacy, promoting and projecting European democratic values and freedoms in third countries.Naša informacijska sfera, odnosno prostor gdje ne samo da izražavamo svoja mišljenja nego ih i oblikujemo, suočena je s ozbiljnim izazovima. Osnovne tendencije »propadanja istine« (truth decay) – sve učestalije neslaganje o činjenicama, zamagljene crte između mišljenja i činjenica te smanjeno povjerenje u nekad cijenjene izvore činjeničnih informacija – postaju sve očitije u strateškom i sustavnom razvodnjavanju i iskrivljavanju informacija, što pridonosi rastućoj rascjepkanosti društva, produbljujući već postojeće podjele. Tijekom prethodnih triju godina rastuće geopolitičke napetosti i asimetrično ratovanje dodatno su podignuli vidljivost i usredotočenost na upotrebu informacija kao oružja i – implicitno – slabost naše kolektivne kognitivne sigurnosti. Društvene i gospodarske posljedice pandemije i popratne »infodemije«, rastuće geopolitičko natjecanje, kao i nedavno političko nasilje u SAD-u te agresija Rusije na Ukrajinu povećale su osjećaj da je potrebno hitno obraniti i obnoviti informacijske ekosustave, koji čine srž naših liberalnih demokracija, čime se svima omogućuje ne samo izražavanje mišljenja nego i njegovo oblikovanje te donašanje promišljenih odluka bez da pritom budu podložne manipulacijama. U tom kontekstu raste strateška važnost osnaživanja naših opskrbnih lanaca znanja. Oživljavanje već postojećih sastavnica naše zajedničke informacijske sfere, uključujući potvrđene nacionalne enciklopedije, može pomoći pri povećanju naše kolektivne kognitivne otpornosti na manipuliranje informacijama u Europi i izvan nje. Vanjsko lice takvih ulaganja može pridonijeti razvijanju novih aspekata europske diplomacije znanja te promoviranju i projekciji europskih demokratskih vrijednosti i sloboda u drugim državama
