Abstract:Le mieux-disant - ou recherche de l’offre économiquement la plus avantageuse – s’impose désormais aux acheteurs publics en mettant l’accent sur la portée stratégique des achats responsables considérés comme créateurs de valeur tant pour les acheteurs que pour les fournisseurs. Néanmoins, la pondération des critères sociaux et environnementaux qui permet d’équilibrer les critères économiques requiert des dispositifs managériaux spécifiques. Inscrit dans l’approche interactive de l’IMP Group, cet article discute… Show more
“…The ARA model has not only demonstrated operational scope in marketing (Blanc and Chassagne, 2008; Finch et al , 2010; Ford and Mouzas, 2010; Harrison et al , 2010; Veludo et al , 2004) but also holds potential in strategic management (Gadde, 2012; Kin, 2016; Beddi et al , 2017; Romestant and Oruezabala, 2018) and logistics (Jahre and Fabbe-Costes, 2003; Roussat and Fabbe-Costes, 2008; Xiang, 2013). Within research, this model allows for the linking of theoretical elements and empirical data.…”
Purpose
This study aims to propose an analytical tool based on the activities–resources–actors (ARA) model to understand the coordination mechanisms in humanitarian action. The tool identifies the phases of humanitarian action and analyzes the underlying mechanisms that facilitate coordination among organizations.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a literature review to develop analytical grids and theoretical propositions based on the ARA model.
Findings
The ARA model is a useful tool for understanding coordination mechanisms in humanitarian action. The study identifies key elements of interaction systems and characterizes the phases of humanitarian action. Effective coordination among organizations is essential for successful aid delivery. The study provides four theoretical propositions.
Research limitations/implications
Future research could validate the propositions formulated in this study through case studies.
Practical implications
The analytical grids proposed in this study can be used by humanitarian organizations to improve their coordination mechanisms and aid delivery processes.
Social implications
Effective humanitarian action can help alleviate the suffering of individuals affected by crises and contribute to the overall well-being of communities. The analytical tool proposed in this study can improve the effectiveness of humanitarian action and ultimately benefit society.
Originality/value
This paper presents an original approach by leveraging the ARA model to develop an analytical tool for humanitarian action, which is useful for both practitioners and researchers. In addition, the paper attempts to overcome the siloed vision of humanitarian action by highlighting “emergency-development” aspect.

L’acheteur dispose de compétences lui permettant de maîtriser les coûts, la qualité et, de plus en plus, les risques liés à l’achat. Mais il sait peu de choses sur la façon d’évaluer les impacts des dysfonctionnements liés à ces risques. L’étude, basée sur une recherche-intervention, montre que l’acheteur pourrait s’appuyer sur la méthode des coûts-performances cachés pour mesurer les impacts des dysfonctionnements et renforcer la durabilité des achats.
