    The purpose of this article is to present a review of the literature on the variables that can influence students' entrepreneurial intention, as well as the theories underlying our research work. Several theories have been mobilized to explain entrepreneurial intention, notably Sokol and Shapero's theory (1982) and Ajzen's theory (1991). But among students in particular, we must ask what factors spark the idea of starting a business.  After examining several articles in the literature on entrepreneurial intention (about thirty), we were able to identify, through an archiving method, three essential variables that act on entrepreneurial intention: The desire to undertake, the social factor and the degree of feasibility. But isn't it important to look at other variables that can influence the entrepreneurial act

    Les Déterminants de l’Adoption des IFRS par les Entreprises: cas du Maroc

    Get PDF
    Suite aux profondes mutations apportĂ©es par le phĂ©nomène de la mondialisation envahissante, l’économie marocaine est actuellement caractĂ©risĂ©e par une grande ouverture Ă  l’international. A ce titre, les entreprises nationales comptent garder leurs positions concurrentielles tout en cherchant en boucle plus d’investisseurs potentiels du monde entier. Pour ce fait, les entreprises doivent prĂ©senter leur comptabilitĂ© d’une manière claire, transparente et surtout comprĂ©hensible par toutes les parties prenantes. Cependant, la comptabilitĂ© marocaine, qui repose sur le droit comptable national, ne peut pas satisfaire cette demande. Pour cette raison, l’Etat marocain essaye de se converger aux normes comptables internationales, tout en obligeant des entreprises Ă  l’adopter dans la perspective d’une prĂ©sentation de leur Ă©tats financiers, et en permettant Ă  d’autres de l’adopter Ă  titre optionnel. Cet article a pour but d’exposer les rĂ©sultats obtenus d’une Ă©tude rĂ©alisĂ©e auprès de 82 entreprises de diffĂ©rentes rĂ©gions du Royaume du Maroc et de diffĂ©rents secteurs, dans le but de rĂ©pondre aux questions suivantes : -           Quelle est la situation des normes internationales IFRS au niveau du Maroc ? -           Quels sont les facteurs qui dĂ©finissent l’adoption des IFRS par les entreprises marocaines ? Les rĂ©sultats de notre Ă©tude ont prouvĂ© qu’il existe seulement un facteur de contingence qui dĂ©termine l’adoption des IFRS par les entreprises marocaines, qui est la taille de l’entreprise.   As a result of the profound changes caused by the phenomenon of invasive globalization, the Moroccan economy is currently showing a great openness to the international sphere. As such, national companies plan to keep their competitive positions while seeking more potential investors from all over the world. For this reason, companies must present their accounting records in a clear, transparent and comprehensible manner to all stakeholders. However, Moroccan accounting system, which is based on the national accounting law, cannot fully meet those criteria. So, in attempt to remedy the situation, the Moroccan government is trying to comply with the international accounting standards by enforcing them on some companies to produce financial statements and allowing others to adopt them on an optional basis. The purpose of this scientific article is to present the results obtained from a study undertaking using a questionnaire at 82 companies’ level, from different regions of the Kingdom of Morocco and from different sectors, in order to answer the following questions: - What is the situation of international IFRS standards in Morocco? - What are the factors that define the adoption of IFRS by Moroccan companies? The results of our study have demonstrated the existence of only one contingency factor which determines the adoption of IFRS by Moroccan companies which is the size of the company

    nature of this relationship which can be either direct or indirect using several different dimensions. Based on a set of 48 factors related to audit quality identified by the previous literature (Oudda, M. and al. (2023)), this article has two main objectives. On the one hand, presenting this set of factors on a single page in format of “Mind-Map” organized into three primary categories and nine secondary subcategories. On the other hand, each of these factors will be identified individually in the literature relating to audit quality using the two notorious databases Scopus and Web Of Science (2011-2023). The study identified articles that appear relevant to each individual factor and its impact on audit quality, while conducting an analysis based on the volume of these references. Indeed, the results obtained showed that factors belonging to categories related to the auditor (78 references) and those related to the market (74 references) received the highest level of attention during the literature search. These results can be of an added value to the field of research and thus interest a wide range of stakeholders, including researchers, legislators and professionals, while presenting for them, in form of a mapping, the factors which may have an impact on audit quality, in addition to an overview of recent literature for each of these individual factors.   Keywords: Audit quality; Factors; Mapping; Literature review; Volume analysis. Classification JEL: M42 Paper type: Theoretical ResearchLa recherche tente toujours d'identifier les facteurs qui peuvent avoir un effet sur le niveau de qualitĂ© d'audit et d'analyser la nature de cette relation, qui peut ĂŞtre directe ou indirecte selon plusieurs dimensions diffĂ©rentes. BasĂ© sur un ensemble de 48 facteurs liĂ©s Ă  la qualitĂ© d’audit identifiĂ©s par un article prĂ©cèdent (Oudda, M. and al. (2023)), le prĂ©sent travail vise Ă  atteindre deux principaux objectifs. D'une part, prĂ©senter cet ensemble de facteurs sur une seule page sous forme de “Mind-Map”, organisĂ©e en trois catĂ©gories principales et neuf sous-catĂ©gories secondaires. D'autre part, chacun de ces facteurs sera identifiĂ© individuellement dans la littĂ©rature qui porte sur la qualitĂ© d'audit en utilisant les deux bases de donnĂ©es de notoriĂ©tĂ© Scopus et Web Of Science (2011-2023). L'Ă©tude a identifiĂ© les articles qui semblent pertinents pour chaque facteur individuel et son impact sur la qualitĂ© d'audit, tout en menant une analyse basĂ©e sur le volume de ces rĂ©fĂ©rences. En effet, les rĂ©sultats obtenus ont montrĂ© que les facteurs appartenant aux catĂ©gories liĂ©es Ă  l'auditeur (78 rĂ©fĂ©rences) et celles liĂ©es au marchĂ© (74 rĂ©fĂ©rences) ont reçu un plus haut niveau d'attention lors de la recherche de littĂ©rature. Ces rĂ©sultats peuvent apporter une valeur ajoutĂ©e au domaine de la recherche et intĂ©resser ainsi, un large Ă©ventail de parties prenantes, notamment les chercheurs, les lĂ©gislateurs et les professionnels, tout en leur prĂ©sentant, sous forme d’une cartographie, des facteurs qui peuvent avoir un impact sur la qualitĂ© d’audit, en plus d’un Ă©tat des lieux de littĂ©rature rĂ©cente pour chacun de ces facteurs individuels.   Mots-clĂ©s : QualitĂ© de l’audit ; Facteurs ; Cartographie ; Revue de littĂ©rature ; Analyse de volume.

    Balanced Scorecard : Optimisation de la Performance dans le Secteur Public Marocain

    L'article analyse l'introduction de la Nouvelle Gestion Publique (NGP) au Maroc, en mettant l'accent sur la mise en Ĺ“uvre du Balanced Scorecard (BSC) pour relever les dĂ©fis du secteur public. MalgrĂ© les critiques sur sa standardisation, le BSC a Ă©tĂ© adoptĂ© dans le but d'instaurer une culture de la performance ; l’étude montre que le BSC a permis d'amĂ©liorer la gestion performante des organisations publiques marocaines. Grâce Ă  une Ă©valuation globale liant indicateurs financiers et non financiers, le BSC a favorisĂ© une prise de dĂ©cision plus Ă©clairĂ©e. Cependant, des dĂ©fis persistent, notamment la rĂ©sistance au changement de la part des acteurs publics et la difficultĂ© Ă  dĂ©finir des indicateurs de performance pertinents, l'introduction du BSC a renforcĂ© la transparence, la responsabilisation et l'orientation stratĂ©gique, mais nĂ©cessite une formation continue du personnel et des ressources dĂ©diĂ©es pour sa mise en Ĺ“uvre. Enfin, les rĂ©sultats suggèrent d'Ă©tendre l'utilisation du BSC Ă  d'autres entitĂ©s du secteur public en adoptant une approche adaptative et personnalisĂ©e afin de maximiser les bĂ©nĂ©fices Ă  long terme.   The article analyzes the introduction of the New Public Management (NPM) in Morocco, focusing on the implementation of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) to meet the challenges of the public sector. Despite criticism of its standardization, the BSC was adopted with the aim of establishing a performance culture; the study shows that the BSC has helped to improve the performance management of Moroccan public organizations. Thanks to a global assessment linking financial and non-financial indicators, the BSC has fostered more informed decision-making. However, challenges remain, notably resistance to change on the part of public players and the difficulty of defining relevant performance indicators. The introduction of the BSC has strengthened transparency, accountability, and strategic orientation, but requires ongoing staff training and dedicated resources for its implementation. Finally, the results suggest extending the use of BSC to other public sector entities, adopting an adaptive and customized approach to maximize long-term benefits

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this article is to present a review of the literature on variables that may influence students' entrepreneurial intention, as well as the theories that underlying our research work. Several theories have been used to explain entrepreneurial intention, including the theory of entrepreneurial event of Sokol and Shapero and Ajzen's theory of planned behavior. But among students in particular, it is necessary to ask what factors spark the idea of starting a business. After reading several articles in the literature on entrepreneurial intention, we were able to identify three essential variables that affect entrepreneurial intention : the desire to undertake, the social factor, i.e., the environment and the entourage, and the entrepreneurial capacity, which is manifested in financial and informational resources. Thus, the results of our study, based on 26 articles that deal with the determinants of entrepreneurial intention, were generated using the Nvivo software

    Les déterminants du développement territorial dans les pays en développement : Revue de littérature

    Territorial development refers to the process of improving economic and social conditions in a specific geographical area. This can involve a variety of initiatives such as investing in infrastructure, supporting local businesses, and promoting the development of new industries. The goal of territorial development is to create a more dynamic and prosperous region that can benefit both residents and the economy as a whole. The process can be undertaken by governments, the private sector, and other organizations and often involves partnerships and collaboration among stakeholders. It relies on the creation of a productive entity primarily anchored in a geographical space. Developing countries often face a range of economic, social and political challenges that can impede their ability to improve the well-being of their citizens and create a more prosperous society. Territorial development can be a useful tool to address these challenges and promote sustainable and inclusive growth. For example, investing in infrastructure such as roads, ports and telecommunications systems can help connect people and businesses to markets, facilitate the flow of goods and services, and create new economic opportunities. Supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs can help create jobs and stimulate economic activity, while promoting the development of new industries can diversify the economy and increase competitiveness. In this way, territorial development can help developing countries overcome some of the structural obstacles that can hold them back and build a brighter future for their citizens. Development aid and assistance can play a role in promoting territorial development, but it also faces obstacles such as poverty, lack of infrastructure, limited access to education and skills, political instability, and environmental degradation. This is a review of the literature about the determinants of territorial development in developing countries that details these aforementioned points.   Keywords: Territorial development, Developing countries, Competitiveness, Innovation. JEL Classification: O10, O11, O18 Paper type: Theoretical Research.Le dĂ©veloppement territorial dĂ©signe le processus d'amĂ©lioration des conditions Ă©conomiques et sociales dans une zone gĂ©ographique spĂ©cifique. Cela peut impliquer une variĂ©tĂ© d'initiatives telles que l'investissement dans les infrastructures, le soutien aux entreprises locales et la promotion du dĂ©veloppement de nouvelles industries. L'objectif du dĂ©veloppement territorial est de crĂ©er une rĂ©gion plus dynamique et plus prospère qui peut bĂ©nĂ©ficier Ă  la fois aux rĂ©sidents et Ă  l'Ă©conomie dans son ensemble. Le processus peut ĂŞtre entrepris par les gouvernements, le secteur privĂ© et d'autres organisations et implique souvent des partenariats et une collaboration entre les parties prenantes. Il repose sur la crĂ©ation d'une entitĂ© productive principalement ancrĂ©e dans un espace gĂ©ographique. Les pays en dĂ©veloppement sont souvent confrontĂ©s Ă  une sĂ©rie de dĂ©fis Ă©conomiques, sociaux et politiques qui peuvent entraver leur capacitĂ© Ă  amĂ©liorer le bien-ĂŞtre de leurs citoyens et Ă  crĂ©er une sociĂ©tĂ© plus prospère. Le dĂ©veloppement territorial peut ĂŞtre un outil utile pour relever ces dĂ©fis et promouvoir une croissance durable et inclusive. Par exemple, investir dans des infrastructures telles que les routes, les ports et les systèmes de tĂ©lĂ©communications peut aider Ă  connecter les personnes et les entreprises aux marchĂ©s, Ă  faciliter la circulation des biens et des services et Ă  crĂ©er de nouvelles opportunitĂ©s Ă©conomiques. Soutenir les entreprises et les entrepreneurs locaux peut contribuer Ă  crĂ©er des emplois et Ă  stimuler l'activitĂ© Ă©conomique, tandis que promouvoir le dĂ©veloppement de nouvelles industries peut diversifier l'Ă©conomie et accroĂ®tre la compĂ©titivitĂ©. De cette façon, le dĂ©veloppement territorial peut aider les pays en dĂ©veloppement Ă  surmonter certains des obstacles structurels qui peuvent les freiner et Ă  construire un avenir plus radieux pour leurs citoyens. L'aide et l'assistance au dĂ©veloppement peuvent jouer un rĂ´le dans la promotion du dĂ©veloppement territorial, mais celui-ci se heurte Ă©galement Ă  des obstacles tels que la pauvretĂ©, le manque d'infrastructures, l'accès limitĂ© Ă  l'Ă©ducation et aux compĂ©tences, l'instabilitĂ© politique et la dĂ©gradation de l'environnement. Ce document est une revue de la littĂ©rature sur les dĂ©terminants du dĂ©veloppement territorial dans les pays en dĂ©veloppement qui dĂ©taille ces points.   Mots clĂ©s : DĂ©veloppement territorial, Pays en dĂ©veloppement, CompĂ©titivitĂ©, Innovation.

    This article analyzes the challenges that the Moroccan companies namely Morocco's Office Cherifien of Phosphate (OCP) in the Youssoufia site have to address in order to move towards sustainable development. It examines the necessary strategies for the implementation of such an approach and highlights the issues necessary for such a vision. It aims to answer the following question: what is the impact of the projects introduced by the OCP on the development of the city of Youssoufia? The research is based on a qualitative study conducted with some group leaders and directors of public institutions in the city of Youssoufia through semi-structured interviews. The main results of the evaluation are as follows: -at the environmental level: though the group has carried out several projects they do not help improve air quality nor reduce urban sprawl; - at the social level: the group has conducted several civic actions that are limited in time and do not help those who really need help. However, funding for associations' activities remains reserved and unsustainable, many unfulfilled commitments as the schools that have no adequate water facilities
