“…Pour répondre à cette interrogation, nous mobilisons la sociologie des techniques et des sciences (Callon & Latour, 1991;Latour, 1987;Law, 2008). Nous rejoignons ainsi un ensemble de chercheurs ayant mobilisé cette littérature pour comprendre les conditions de production des connaissances en sciences de gestion (Cabantous & Gond, 2014;Cochoy, 2010). Plus précisément, nous nous appuyons sur le cadre d'analyse de la controverse scientifique (Collins & Pinch, 1979;Engelhardt & Caplan, 1987;Lemieux, 2007).…”

Depuis la naissance du champ des sciences de gestion, de nombreux auteurs se sont interrogés sur la rigueur des connaissances produites par la recherche en management et sur leur pertinence pour la pratique. Dans cet article, nous nous interrogeons sur la persistance de ce débat au sein des sciences de gestion. Pour cela, nous mobilisons la sociologie des techniques et des sciences et le cadre d'analyse de la controverse scientifique. Par l'analyse de 253 articles publiés dans 11 revues anglo-saxonnes de premier plan entre 1994 et 2013, nous identifions quatre postures typiques relatives à la rigueur et la pertinence de la recherche en management : « maintien de l'orthodoxie », « collaboration avec les praticiens », « renouvellement paradigmatique » et « recentrage sur le bien commun ». Bien qu'antagonistes, ces postures coexistent au sein du débat et font l'objet d'une reformulation continue. Ce débat, qui se développe au sein d'un espace spécialement aménagé dans les revues académiques (forum hybride), contribue à la scientifisation des sciences de gestion. Nous articulons ces résultats avec la littérature relative aux controverses scientifiques et discutons leurs implications pour le débat rigueur-pertinence.

“…The push for Bayesian estimation is taking place across several disciplines such as management (Zyphur & Oswald, 2015;Cabantous and Gond, 2015;McKee and Miller, 2015), marketing (Rossi and Allenby, 2003;Rossi et al 2012), psychology (Van De Schoot, et al, 2017 and tourism (Assaf and Tsionas, 2018 a, b). Over the last decade, we have seen a strong increase in the use of the Bayesian methodology in tourism and other related fields (Wong et al 2006;Wang et al 2011;Assaf, 2012;Barros, 2014;Assaf et al 2017;.…”

Diagnosing and correcting the effects of multicollinearity: Bayesian implications of ridge regression

2019

When faced with the problem of multicollinearity most tourism researchers recommend meancentering the variables. This procedure however does not work. It is actually one of the biggest misconceptions we have in the field. We propose instead using Bayesian ridge regression and treat the biasing constant as a parameter about which inferences are to be made. It is well known that many estimates of the biasing constant have been proposed in the literature. When the coefficients in ridge regression have a conjugate prior distribution, formal selection can be based on the marginal likelihood. In the non-conjugate case, we propose a conditionally conjugate prior for the biasing constant, and show that Gibbs sampling can be employed to make inferences about ridge regression parameters as well as the biasing constant itself. We examine posterior sensitivity and apply the techniques to a tourism data set.

“…Organizational scholars have built on the social studies of science (SSS) field (Latour, 1984;Law, 2008) to shed light on neglected dynamics in the constitution of organizational knowledge (Cox & Hassard, 2013), such as resistance to innovative methods like Bayesianism (Cabantous & Gond, 2015), the selective and biased uses of prior works (Mizruchi & Fein, 1999), or the misuses of insights from foundational authors such as Max Weber (Lounsbury & Carberry, 2005).…”

“…In this regard representing actually means re-presenting, that is presenting things differently from how they were presented before, and this 'gap' opens the possibility for multiple forms of representations and leaves room for social, political and material factors that partake in the making of a given representation. According to SSS scholars, one should unpack the social, political and material dimensions involved in the process of producing such re-presentations to fully appreciate what is at stake in the making of science (Cabantous & Gond, 2015;Law, 2008).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract: Although the growth of the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) calls for more diverse exercises of reviewing, most reviews of CSR research present the organising categories on which they build as taken-for-granted. In so doing, they reify a structural-functionalist orientation and a linear view of time while failing to represent accurately alternative post-structural and antistructural CSR paradigms. Building on an analysis of 40 reviews of the CSR field and on insights from the social studies of science, this paper revisits the notion of field re-presentation and highlights the need for building on categories, which embed a richer set of ontological assumptions to represent the CSR field in a manner that could maintain a dose of ontological and epistemological pluralism and diversity. We finally discuss the implications of our analysis to enhance CSR theorybuilding, cross-fertilize insights from distinct CSR paradigms and develop alternative assumptions to investigate empirically CSR phenomena.
