“…They used it as an adjective synonymous with "sensitive" (Shao and Hill, 1994;Fahy et al, 1995), "offensive" (Barnes and Doston, 1990;Waller, 1999;Fam and Waller, 2003;Prendergast and Chia Hwa, 2003), "controversial" (Rehman and Brooks, 1987;Fam, Waller and Yang, 2009) and "unmentionable" (Wilson and West, 1981;Katsanis, 1994). They focused on the marketing of unmentionable, controversial or offensive products, ranging from goods whose consumption is thought to be potentially dangerous (socially, morally and even physically) like alcohol, 3 tobacco and drugs, to products and services that are related directly to life and death matters, such as funeral services, life insurance, 4 contraceptives, pregnancy tests, vasectomies and abortion (Schwartz, Johnson and Lee, 1986;Crosby and Stephens, 1987;Trompette and Boissin, 2000;Brown, 2002), or as products which may be associated with murder, like food products that people find disgusting (Merdji, 2002). Given the disparity of the products and services in question, some studies have tried to classify them on the basis of their controversial nature and people's difficulty in mentioning them or admitting to use them (Katsanis, 1994).…”

“…Que ce soit pour le secteur des pompes funèbres (Trompette & Boissin, 2000), La Poste (Flageul-Caroly, 2001) ou France Telecom (Hochereau, 2004), ces mutations d'entreprises publiques ont en effet toujours entraîné une rupture relativement au métier des acteurs qui se voient introduire des objectifs commerciaux pouvant entrer en contradiction avec les objectifs de service public, et qui développent alors des stratégies pour faire face aux conflits de logiques engendrés (Bernard, 2005 ;Buscatto, 2002 ;Calderon, 2006 ;Cihuelo, 2010 ;Flageul-Caroly, 2001). Suite à l'ouverture du marché de l'énergie à la concurrence, l'entreprise Electricité de France (EDF) a connu un tel bouleversement, entraînant notamment la transformation des organisations et de la relation de service, et impactant dès lors les métiers, les outils et l'organisation qui la composent.…”

“…The change in corporate status, from that of a public status where the objective is the service provided to the client, to a private status which has more to do with being part of a competitive world, is always a major challenge for service relationships and the actors involved. Be it in the undertaking sector (Trompette & Boissin, 2000), La Poste (Flageul-Caroly, 2001) or France Telecom (Hochereau, 2004), these changes within public companies have always led to rupture for actors who see their professions having to integrate commercial objectives that are inconsistent with the objectives of public service, thus causing them to develop strategies to cope with conflicting logics (Bernard, 2005 ;Buscatto, 2002 ;Calderon, 2006 ;Cihuelo, 2010 ;Flageul-Caroly, 2001). When the energy market opened up to competition, Electricité de France (EDF) underwent a profound upheaval which led, in particular, to changes in organisation and service relationships, impacting the jobs, tools and organisations concerned.…”
