Main objectives :
Since 1991, the research division "Ressources des terroirs - Cultures, usages, sociétés" is developing and conducting anthropological research on local food and agricultural productions, generically called "products of the terroir". This research focuses on practical know-how, traditional knowledge, practices and methods called on in the production of food and agricultural products, with an emphasis on the distribution, use and conservation of these resources. The analysis of these resources' properties, cultural features and specific characteristics offers evidence of strong links with local cultures. As a result, it also brings to light new concepts and ideas bearing on the status and the role played by these products in our society. In addition, these major themes are examined in the context of geographic protection measures applying to those productions which are linked to specific places, have a history and are the object of shared knowledge. This work is taking place locally, nationally and at a European level. The details of the main research lines, programmes and activities, including relevant publications, are presented on our web site.

Recherche fondamentale : Parmi les thèmes de recherche plus particulièrement explorés actuellement, citons :

• l’appartenance à un lieu,
• l’ancrage historique,
• les savoirs locaux et la culture technique,
• les pratiques de consommation,
• l’évolution de statut de ces productions, leur dimension identitaire et patrimoniale.
  

Recherche appliquée

• Etudes et états des lieux des produits en amont des demandes de protection géographique
• Participation à l’établissement des zones de délimitation des produits sollicitant une Appellation d’origine contrôlée (INAO)
• Mise au point de méthodes d’identification et d’évaluation des critères à prendre en compte dans les demandes de protection géographique des produits
• Inventaires et valorisation culturelle des productions agricoles et alimentaires locales et traditionnelles

Relying on the research team the unit "Etudes et documentation" (studies and documentation) associates the CNRS and local public authorities who co-finance: Région Rhône-Alpes, Conseil général de l'Ain, Communauté d'agglomération de Bourg-en-Bresse.

Main objectives :
La question générale de la recherche du Laboratoire est la suivante : dans quelles conditions d'organisation et de savoir-faire les agriculteurs parviennent-ils à maîtriser les contraintes issues de leur environnement ? Cette question générale est traitée selon 3 axes :

• les formes d'organisation et les dynamiques sociales agricoles, agro-alimentaires et rurales,
• les processus cognitifs à travers lesquels les acteurs élaborent des règles de perception et d'action,
• les processus externes de transformation de l'agriculture, à travers notamment les stratégies industrielles et politiques publiques.

Ces travaux se fondent pour partie sur des études appliquées, réalisées à la demande d'organismes économiques et professionnels, ou de collectivités publiques, et pour partie sur des programmes de recherche publique (par exemple le programme régional INRA Région des Pays de la Loire).

Main objectives :

• The Institutional Dimensions of Development Intervention

The days of "bubble projects" concentrating skills and means in a structure without institutional existence and working under direct management of the state in the face of splintered local groups are over. The face off between the State and the populations has been replaced by a more complex institutional landscape--people's organisations, elected officials, NGOs and national consultancy firms are now part of this landscape. The stakes in development interventions are no longer truly to build infrastructures as much as they are to build local capacity to initiate, manage and implement activities at the service of populations. This implies more complex elaboration, multiple partnerships and new work methods both for national stakeholders and for technical assistance.

Institutional support, strengthening organisations and negotiated development are the new ambitions. However, beyond words and willingness, practitioners still lack strategic and methodological references to work rigorously in these new contexts.

Elaborating methodological points of reference in terms of diagnostics and intervention approaches is the goal of this programme.

• Partnerships and Contractualisation

Development projects are taking place in diversified institutional landscapes and mobilising different stakeholders who have to manage contractual relationships together. In particular, many operations are undertaken in collaboration by practitioners from developed and from developing countries. Beyond the ambition of a balanced relationship and the strengthening of local skills, such relationships are often structurally imbalanced--the practitioner from a developing country is most often in more of a position of sub-contractor than of the "co-practitioner" and donors impose financial control via the practitioner from the developed country. This biases the relationship and mixes control into support-advice.

In order to build more balanced relationships, one needs to look this situation squarely in the eye rather than hide from it. However, once this is done, how can one define and implement true partnerships based on reciprocal acknowledgement and the complementarity of roles? How can one push institutional project elaboration towards making projects tools for building strength rather than pretexts for sub-contracting?

• Development Funding

How can one develop local capacities for investment in economic activities and collective equipment? How can one use external funding to stimulate these capacities instead of replacing them? Development funding is becoming a central issue. It comes in different forms:

Microfinance. Microfinance institutions offer populations access to credit and interest-earning savings, and play an important role in the development of household budgets. The Microfinance Cluster undertakes methodological reflection on the creation and support of MFIs and works on impact studies;

Business Funding. The Business Development Services and Vocational Training Cluster organises methodological reflection on business development services and on the relationship between financial and non-financial services;

Funding Collective and Public Infrastructures and Services. This is a central issue in approaches to local and territorial development. Project-oriented logics concentrate decision-making power in the hands of the practitioners and turn local self-funding into mere "financial participation". Innovative schemes separate decision-making and technical support and mobilise local resources to a greater extent. Working on financial flows and decision-making processes also obliges one to specify the legal status of accomplishments and the respective responsibilities of the different stakeholders. It also raises questions of the balance between self-funding and subsidisation, of institutional schemes and local investment fund management regulations, of the relationships between private, public and collective aspects, and of ways of mobilising local resources. The Environment and Rural Development and Urban Social Development/Commercial Utilities for Public Use Clusters work on these issues were be the object of a specific GRET programme in 2000.

Main objectives :
The Center works mainly on information processes and systems, aids to decision-making and on business management and administration.
This field was chosen as the result of certain specific epistemological and methodological options :

• a constructivist aim : management sciences are seen as conceptual sciences, dealing more with the analysis of a created intellectualized world than with an objective real one.
• practical justifications : we choose areas where research producing quantitative and qualitative models can help in defining and resolving management problems.
• case model methods, produced by sound, inventive theoretical referentials combined with often first-hand experimentally justified data (research-action, clinical research, field surveys, etc).

The epistemological and methodological options mentioned above have produced research programmes that cut accross the classical disciplines of management and data processing by employing a matrix-type organisation. The researchers different scientific specializations constitute the dynamic resource impetus of our programmes which often defy traditional academic divisions.

The essential part of the Center work revolves around four main poles :

• MARKETING. the marketing research team, called "Iris", develops research works aiming at a better understanding of the mecanisms dealing with the identification of the organization. These works imply a large variety of research methods from the operalization of measure tools, to semiotic approaches.
• ORGANISATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT.
  This research team deals with the evolutions of organizational forms and the relations between new technologies of communication and organizations. It studies the effect of these new forms on employment, skills and competencies. The team is involved in the effort of reneval of hHman Resources Management techniques and models.
• STRATEGIA, a pole of research combining different studies with the aim of formulating strategic management principles : strategy but also, marketing, human resource management and general management.
• DATA MODELS AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS, a pole of research combining thorough research work carried out on quantitative and computer method skills, leading to models for decision-making and advanced information systems, particularly in the industrial management field, business data processing, scientific and technological data bases.

Over these largely collective research projects, more individual research is done by several members of the Center, involving the epistemology of management sciences, tertiary sector marketing, project management, international marketing, the management of the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.
