Dimensions of Americanization in question: modes of adoption of the shareholder value ideology in the annual reports of the CAC 40 (1998-2012)
Americanization of models of management raises two issues: 1) the question of what it is transferred and adopted, i.e. its dimensions: the whole model or its components? 2) The second issue concerns the adoption modes of these elements. Answering these two questions is the aim of this article which studies the dimensions and modes of adoption of the ideological component of the American shareholder value model in France, over fifteen years. The results show a weak adoption of the ideological component of the shareholder value model within the CAC 40 favoring hybridization and particularism.
