Le changement n’est pas une chose qui peut être décidée mais plutôt quelque chose qui se fabrique. Selon un processus cadencé, de nombreuses études en gouvernance et en management stratégique placent les middle managers au cœur des analyses. Bien plus que des relais, ils conduisent le changement et contribuent à définir les compétences organisationnelles pour de meilleures performances. La conduite du changement peut être appréhendée au travers des études portant sur des aspects cognitifs ainsi qu’au travers de la Responsabilité Sociale de l’Entreprise (RSE) : celle-ci offre une occasion idéale aux middle managers de se rapprocher de la Direction Générale. Aborder ces thématiques implique un focus particulier sur le pouvoir des acteurs tout en considérant des notions de légitimité et d’urgence (Mitchell et al., 1997). Cette approche dynamique et cognitive permet de comprendre davantage les tensions partenariales quotidiennes et comment elles sont gérées. Dans ce travail, les middle managers figurent comme des instrumentalisateurs (ou manipulateurs), capables d’actionner des leviers relationnels (pouvoir, légitimité et urgence). La manière d’utiliser la politique de RSE dans leurs pratiques quotidiennes permet à ces managers d’évoluer dans le noyau stratégique organisationnel. A partir d’une étude exploratoire puis d’une étude de cas unique concernant MEDIAPOST (filiale du Groupe La Poste, spécialisée dans le courrier non-adressé), complétée par un focus partiel sur quatre grandes entreprises (Schneider Electric, Michelin, GDF Suez et Saint Gobain), ce travail étudie les systèmes de relations dans le cadre d’une transformation perpétuelle. Il propose une typologie de middle managers et un comportement type d’instrumentalisation de la RSE. Le modèle identifie différents profils : le pilote stratégique, le défendeur stratégique, le modérateur stratégique et le négociateur ou facilitateur stratégique selon trois degrés d’instrumentalisation (nulle, partielle et forte).Change cannot be decided, it must be managed. Following a gradual process, many studies in corporate governance and strategic management give a key role to middle managers, since those actors do more than transferring organizational skills: they help to define them for better performances. This literature gets along with studies on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and those related to cognitive aspects when it comes to corporate governance. In fact, CSR provides an ideal environment for middle managers to approach top management. Such question implies a particular focus on actors and their power at the same time that it considers the concepts of legitimacy and urgency (Mitchell et al. 1997).This approach allows understanding daily tensions and how they are managed through dynamic and cognitive aspects.In the present research, middle managers appear as manipulators who are able to activate relational levers (power, legitimacy and urgency). By studying how those actors guide the CSR policy in their daily practice, it is possible to understand how they progress within the core of organizational strategy. This work is based on an exploratory study and a single case study about MEDIAPOST (a subsidiary of La Poste Group specialized in non-addressed mail), which is complemented by a partial focus on four major companies (Schneider Electric, Michelin, GDF Suez and Saint Gobain). By doing so, this research examines the relations systems within a constantly changing model and proposes a typology of middle managers and their manipulation types: a strategic driver, a strategic defender, a strategic facilitator and a strategic negotiator (or facilitator) according to three degrees of manipulation (zero, partial and strong).

Grow in Concert with Nature : Sustaining East Asia's Water Resources through Green Water DefenseTurner, Graeme; Li, Xiaokai; Jiang, Liping (Washington, DC: World Bank, 2012-07-02)As countries develop, the demand for water increases while water supply becomes less certain and is often not enough to meet demand. In general, pressures from both environment and human activities can increase the likelihood of water scarcity. Such pressures include increased socio-economic development and population growth, change in people's diets, competition for available water among different user sectors and growing climate variability. Climate change is likely to exacerbate the existing demand and supply stresses, particularly when more frequent and extreme droughts and floods, as well as rising sea level are becoming more evident. In temperate, sub-temperate regions, less rainfall and longer dry seasons are expected. In tropical areas, rainfall is predicted to be similar or greater in terms of annual average volumes, more intense and severe storms and seasonal droughts (IPCC, 2007). These pressures will test the effectiveness of water resource management systems in providing a consistent and secure water supply for all users, with minimum externalities. This study will assess advances in management practices, institutional and technological innovations for managing water scarcity sustainably under a changing climate. This study of 'sustaining East Asia's water resources through Green Water Defense (GWD) is a sub-study of the 'towards GWD in East Asia' study and is complemented by another sub-study 'green water defense for flood risk management in East Asia' that focuses on flood management in delta regions.

Managing Public Debt : From Diagnostics to Reform ImplementationWorld Bank (Washington, DC: World Bank, 2012-05-30)Managing Public Debt will serve
 government officials contemplating or in the process of
 reforming their practices, providers of technical
 assistance, and practitioners working on building capacity
 in public debt management. Because effective implementation
 of debt management strategies also requires a developed
 domestic government debt market, readers will also be
 interested in the companion volume, Developing the Domestic
 Government Debt Market, published by The World Bank in
 February 2007, based on the same joint pilot program.
