Full textIn France, around one million persons would be affected by heart failure (HF); there are nearly 70 000 deaths related to HF and more than 150 000 hospitalizations despite a well defined treatment management. These numbers should increase in the next years due in particular to the ageing of the population.The objective of this work was to study the use of the pharmacological treatments indicated in HF (beta-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, aldosterone antagonist, diuretics, digoxin, ivabradine) in real-world setting and to identify the clinical or pharmacological predictors associated with a new episode of cardiac decompensation.A first work has enabled to estimate the accuracy of French claims databases in identifying HF patients.A second study estimated that 17 to 37% HF patients were not exposed to any HF treatment in the year following an incident HF hospitalization.The third and fourth parts of this thesis showed that almost one forth of HF patients was rehospitalized within the 2 years following a first hospitalization. The main clinical predictors of rehospitalization were age, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation and diabetes. The association found between bivalent iron use and HF rehospitalization underlines the importance of the risk related to anemia or iron deficiency in the occurrence of a cardiac exacerbation episode.These results allow to reconsider the treatment management of HF patients and highlight the need to reinforce the surveillance of patients with a highest risk of cardiac exacerbation

Full textAmong the natural hazards, the flood risk is the most frequent and the most harmful in France with about 50 % of the municipalities exposed. In the Haut-Rhin department, 80 % of the municipalities are concerned. We have chosen this subject because no historic study exists about floods in Alsace and especially about the Lauch valley, where the last big events have taken place. In front of the impossibility to eradicate the risk, the Man committed palliative actions to protect himself through history. How have the historic events been taken into consideration in policies of management and prevention of the flood risk in the Lauch valley for more than two centuries ? To answer this question, we have used a diachronic approach which begins with the disastrous event of February 1990, and adopted an interdisciplinary method. Based on an important corpus of sources, this thesis puts in perspective the evolution of the management of the floods over the period considered according to the hydrological events restored via a regressive method, the stakes, the very contrasted political contexts and the actors, over the local, national and European plans. This thesis is part of a logic of applied reasoning and has for ambition to improve the information about the phenomena and to constitute a "basis of scientific knowledge" for a better control of the risk. This way, it seems fundamental to know flood hazard to be able to anticipate it, to manage it better and to protect ourselves
Soga, Nomaphelo. "The cost of credit default in the vehicle finance industry in South Africa." Thesis, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/3027.
Full textThe risk that borrowers may not fulfil borrowing obligation presents credit owners (lenders) with a default risk management opportunity to maximize risk-adjusted rate of return and maintain minimum exposure to default associated cost. This study investigated respondents' perception of the cost of credit default and examines requirements for default risk management (ORM) in the vehicle finance industry in South Africa. It is noted that with increased level of consumer indebtedness, an unstable economy, and high unemployment, vehicle financing faces a higher probability of default from borrowers. This descriptive investigation utilised both the quantitative and qualitative approaches using the survey method to collect data from 381 purposive, randomly selected respondents who are vehicle finance customers in South Africa; Cape Town specifically. Data collection took place in the Western Cape over a nine months period, utilising personal interview, and emails to administer open-ended questionnaires for credit managers and close-ended questionnaires, for the vehicle finances' customers, as data collection instrument. Responses received were codified and quantitative data was analysed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS version 25) while qualitative data was analysed using the content analysis of percentage of word similarities. The study found mixed and variable respondents' perception of the cost of credit default. In conclusion, it is perceived that in South Africa the cost of credit would become more costly with credit default. It can be recommended that a default risk management intervention could be applied to mitigate the risk of credit default within the context of unified credit assessment policy of South Africa.

Full textCarrying out reforms entails a high level of risk for policy makers: reform failure can have far-reaching consequences on both the public policy concerned and the reputation of the political leaders who are pushing for the reform. Policy makers widely acknowledge the role of “political risk” in public decision making. However, its definition remains vague. A literature review in decision sciences, political science and political economy shows that the concept of political risk is a blind spot in academic theory. This research project aims to develop a better understanding of the reasons why some reform initiatives fail while others succeed. It defines political risk as a combination of risk factors which contribute to trigger disruptive events and, in turn, influence the enactment of reforms. Six risk factors are identified on the basis of more than forty reform case studies: intrinsic characteristics of the reform, public opinion, stakeholders, political context and socio-economic context. The concept of political risk is then operationalized and tested using a scorecard approach. The tests show a consistent relation between risk factors, disruptive events and reform enactment. This project contributes to a better understanding of the link between strategy and politics in decision making and the dynamics of strategic decision making in the public sector. It paves the way for a risk based approach to steering public policy reforms

Full textThis doctoral thesis aims at answering a key question: what is the level of consideration given to Information Systems Security (ISS) by the French local authorities (LAs)? The latter are now facing new challenges that require an ever-increasing use of new technologies (e-government, e-democracy, dematerialization of call for tenders...). The under-researched territorial IT risk becomes a major issue in the sphere of public services and the protection of personal data. Theoretically based and constructed through successive professional positions, our theoretical model helps measure the actual level of inclusion of digital risk taking into account the respective influence of a set of characteristics of local authorities. A field survey was conducted with the close collaboration of representatives of LAs.While numerical risk requires a high level awareness by LA decision makers, it appears that they have a very imperfect knowledge of IT security related risks as well as of direct or indirect threats that may jeopardize their management systems. A potential solution lies with the definition of a specific public policy and with the implementation of appropriate procedures at the level of each community

Full textEnterprise-wide risk management (ERM) is a set of policies, structures and practices infused with social ideals of good governance and controllability. In this research, we seek to know how actors’ work allows ERM lasting adoption in the organization. In La Poste, the enactment of external pressures by internal auditors turned out to be critical. When introduced in the postal organization, ERM first encountered management disregard. As a consequence, ERM regulatory and normative meanings and categories were adopted but not implemented in the business. Partial ERM structures were created and inhabited by risk managers who hold necessary skills to help organizational compliance with external expectations. Newly appointed risk managers worked internally to legitimize and structure the device consistently with external “best practices” performing what we named recoupling work - the purposive action of individuals and organizations aimed at aligning organizational risk management with external ERM abstract features. Thus, our case suggests an organizational explanation to the fact that risk management could not be rescinded after its initial settlement

Full textThe permanence of Veuve Clicquot among the most illustrious names of champagne firms for more than two centuries is not a mere accident. It is the outcome of resilience for a family enterprise with a long term vision, business dynamism coupled with precautionary investment, eager to maintain social relationships of a paternalistic kind with its workers.As a global company since its origin, it could early combine capital, market, production tool, labour, and preserve coherence. From 1900 to 1939, its working conditions are deeply altered. While the Belle Epoque period offered a stable environment, although altered by the phylloxera crisis, the post war years are characterized by war damages, convulsions of prices and exchange rates, the 1929 depression, the 1936 and 1937 strikes. However the firm succeeds in perpetuating its growth strategy in conjunction with the top-of-the-range market of high quality champagne.The firm successfully copes with ups and downs of the economic cycle, and teaches a lesson of modernity. It adjusts its selling prices to monetary instability, drives and stimulates its resellers network. It pursues an aggressive buying policy for grapes and wine, in order to meet demand, develops and modernizes its production capacity. A generous social policy retains workers and staff. The succession of generations fosters family consensus. A high profitability fuels self-financing, consolidated through shareholders loans, while providing the family with dividends, interest and potential capital gains. A sound and balanced financial structure secures the future of the company, even at the worst moments

Full textThe food safety concerns are now an important place, both nationally and internationally. This phenomenon is further strengthening under the leadership of successive food crises and the expansion of uncertain risks. The state accordingly shall undertake responsibility for risk management such as risk assessment, risk prevention, and prompt response to crisis at all stages of production, distribution and sales of food. In this context, the precautionary principle provides a mechanism for determining risk management measures or other actions to ensure the higher standard of health protection. This article, through reviewing the cases and studies in France on the precautionary principle and the control over it, aims to help better understand the principle and actively introduce it to Korea. In addition, this article presents suggestive points through a comparative study of the system and food law between France and Korea, possible improvements to implement an effective food risk management

Full textThis research aim to determine the influence of downstream supply chain risk management on performance of agro-industrial firms. It adopts an international comparative investigation between developing economy (Cameroon) and developed economy (France) to examine the concepts actually improved upstream of the supply chain. Based on scientific realism, the second post-positivist paradigm, it combines theory with field investigation to understand unobservable constructs. Using a combination of qualitative data obtained through semi-direct interviews with supply chain managers, and quantitative data obtained through the survey of agro-industrial companies’ sample, it examines the possible links between Constructs. This is done through the lexical analysis and by the Structural Equation Modeling using the Partial Least Square method (PLS). Results show that strategic risks management positively and significantly influences the performance of agro-industrial firms. This link is both direct and indirect through customer relations. On the other hand, the operational risks management negatively (but not significantly) affects performance. Similarly, the customer relationship negatively affects firm performance, the contrary of theoretical predictions. But the management of strategic risks and part of the operational risks (forecasts) significantly influence the company's customer relationship. This relationship is moderated by the implementation of effective information systems. Sales promotions do not affect the relationship between customer and performance, but are antecedent of the customer relationship of foods companies These results propose another theoretical perspective of transaction costs and agency theories through the positive impact of outsourcing management on performance. Similarly, research suggests to not isolating certain constructs when considering a research on supply chain theory. From managerial implications, managers must divest themselves of activities where they do not possess key competences such as transport activities through the development of partnerships with LSPs. They must also privilege the implementation of effective information systems as a guarantee of success in the customer orientation of the company. Subsequent research may focus on integrating aspects of trust, competitive advantage, and product quality into the model, in order to better measure their impact on the financial and non-financial performance of CRM

Full textBased on an economic analysis of the investment, which is increasingly tending to develop in contemporary law, the study of optimisation and security of Russian real estate investment in France relegates the risk of money laundering. This thesis shows that although such a risk cannot be denied, it can still be evaluated by implementing a management approach in order to optimise client’s issues and interests.The investment risk analysis requires consideration regarding questions relating to international private law, international taxation, as well as financing for transactions and implementation of guarantees. As a rule, the money laundering risk is leading various professionals involved in the transaction to fear the worst; however such risks seem to appear as a result of economic and legal analysis which aims to serve investor’s interests. Understanding the issues and reasons for investment, whilst trying to find solutions in order to secure the investment process is the objective of this thesis

Full textThe principal objective of this study is to estimate the utility value of a company’s Real Estate by analysing this asset utilising different methods. In the beginning, we studied the principal theories of macroeconomics which lead to the creation of a diverse portefolio of assets. We then measured the impact of the company’s real estate value on the perception of the profitability/risk ratio within different industrial sectors. To achieve this, we used a graphic analysis tool and we measured the level of correlation between different indexes. We have examined in detail two representative companies of specific indexes which demonstrated strong and unusual strengths: the Casino Group, that we have linked to its Real Estate investment trust Mercialys and the Accor Group. The study of these businesses has allowed us to demonstrate unique strategies and adaptive behaviors based on the optimization of the profitability/risk ratio. We wanted to verify thereafter the specific hypotheses created during the study of these two companies. For that, we adopted a more general approach and we tested in vivo the perception of the utility value of a company’s Real Estate. We oriented the research to an empirical approach based on the survey data. We validated the fact that Real Estate is essentially considered by the people involved in this industry as a tool for managing the profitability/risk ratio of a company (and particularly the level of the debt) with more or less significant additional components according to the paradigm, the objectives and the personal perception of each group within each segment. The current situation of the company could significantly change the perception of the nature of its value for a specific group with the systematic objective of maximizing their position. We specified when we started this research project that this work is relevant to the date it was produced and it has to be updated in ten years with more significant temporal data

Full textStress, burnout, well-being, work conditions, psychosocial risks, occupational health covers multiple notions. We choose to consider health according to the conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll, 1989, 1998, 2001). Its major contributions consist firstly in considering health not only from a pathogenic aspect but also from a salutogenic one (Abord de Chatillon, 2005 ; Neveu, 2007, 2012 ; Richard, 2012). Secondly, it proposes to study health as a whole process including its internal and external aspects. The issue of this study is to analyse both the process of maintenance and decline of occupational health in the specific public context. For several decades, this sector has been undergoing major transformations with New Public Management reforms. Although economically necessary this rationalization results in work intensification which influence work organization and health of public agents. Thus, our qualitative study through the three articles considers that occupational health is a dynamic process (in which individuals, collective and organization participate) expressed through the relationship to resources. Our thesis offers several contributions to help identify new organizational resources, to highlight the process of resource mobilization and the proactive capacity, to explicit the spiral process and to confirm the link, not sufficiently explored, between the NPM and job stress

Full textIn France, industrial risk management legislation have faced many changes since the beginning of the 70s. This thesis focuses on the industrial risk management at a local level since this period around the area of Pont-de-Claix, France. By focusing on this area, this research aims to identify and qualify the extent of changes (legislation, socio-economic, etc.) in the local implementation of these public policies. As a result, it occurs that the local industrial risk management could be characterized by its continuity and the permanence of power relationship and asymmetries between local stakeholders. The theoretical frame of this thesis is based on an institutional approach of public action. By identifying different level of changes, this approach enlightens how changes could be used as stability factors in local public action, especially by dominant stakeholders. In this context, changes appear as a way for dominant stakeholders to preserve their interests and to keep their leading role in the local implementation of industrial risk management policies

Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) is a federally subsidized crop insurance program designed to mitigate risk for farmers across the United States. Many changes in technology and weather have increased yields in recent years. This has caused some to argue for the crop insurance program to consider yield trends when setting yields for the producer. This thesis evaluates alternative Actual Production History (APH) methods for corn to determine differences in the methods and the resulting APH. The key issue to be evaluated is that a producer’s APH may not be reflective of their “yield goal.” The thesis examined how the APH can differ under alternative methods of calculating an APH. Some methods examined are currently used by the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Other methods are hypothetical alternatives. This study examines alternative methods on a national, county, and a farm level. This thesis demonstrates that adjusting APHs for yield trends provides a higher APH than an un-trended APH. The 7 Year Olympic Trended APH provides the highest APH in most cases for all the methods examined. The RMA Un-trended APH proved to provide the least yield on average for all methods examined. This demonstrates the importance of adjusting for yield trends to factor in agricultural technology advancements over time.

Full textThe excessive use of plant protection products has caused public health and environmental issues dueto their toxicity. As part of this interdisciplinary research work between geography and agronomy, theobjective is to analyse the resilience of farms and their capacity to deal with the change of plantprotection practices. In order to answer this objective, our work is based on the design of a method forassessing plant protection practices at different spatial scales and on a technical-economic model foroptimising plant protection treatment and managing risks related to pesticides. This work consists inproviding territorial actors with decision-support tools for an integrated management of pesticide useat the “Etang de l’Or” catchment area in the South of France. This study is based on the use of severalmultidisciplinary tools: mathematical programming techniques, statistical analysis and GeographicInformation Systems (GIS), by introducing agri-environmental indicators for plant protection pressure(TFI) and risks of toxicity on the applicator’s health and on environment (IRSA, IRTE), and economicindicators. The combination of these indicators defines the different categories of farms resilience andcapacity of their production systems to deal with the change of plant protection practices. The conceptof resilience, combined with spatial analysis of agri-environmental and economic indicators usingGIS, allows implementing generic decision-support tools to find a compromise between the differentactors to deal with problems of spatial inequality and socioeconomic in term of phytosanitary diffusepollution. The results of multi-scale analysis allow implementing management strategies of risksrelated to plant protection practice based on the vulnerability of the natural environment on a territoryand ensuring suitable economic outcomes to farms

Full textThis thesis researches the role of Galeries Lafayette at the heart of the French fashion system. It re-evaluates the role of retail and department stores as value-creating intermediaries in the relationship between producer and consumer. Additionally, the research highlights the innovative capacity of a family business and shows that the introduction of new organizational methods in retail trade along the 20th century, imported and adapted from the United States, was as much present as in manufacturing enterprises. In the first part, the thesis looks at the foundation of the company, its competitors and its customers. To differentiate themselves, Galeries Lafayette manufactured and sold models inspired by those of the couturiers under the store private label. At the turn of the twentieth century, while fashion houses claimed a monopoly on trend setting, Galeries Lafayette introduced fashion in department store. This effective appropriation of fashion design built the legitimacy of the company as an intermediary, and posited the prescribing power of the brand in the fashion market. It also made Galeries Lafayette a player in the economy of counterfeiting, a major issue for the apparel industry in the inter-war period. The thesis shows, however, that various management regimes for design exist at Galeries Lafayette. In a second part, we analyze the investments of the company in the creative industries and in particular the cases of Chanel Perfumes as well as Madeleine Vionnet and Jean Patou fashion houses. In doing so, for the first time, the thesis analyzes the financing of fashion houses thus unbundling the study of the main actors in the fashion system. In a third part, the thesis studies competitive and market change from World War II onwards: the modernization of the clothing industry, the ready-to-wear revolution, and the emergence of new capitals of fashion besides Paris. The dismantling of the vertical integration in manufacturing, the opening of central purchasing to new suppliers, the pioneering establishment of in-house fashion forecasting office in the early 1950s induced a new organization and changes in the link between creators, designers, industrialists and customers for Galeries Lafayette

Full textDrownings occur in PSP (public swimming pool) despite lifeguard supervision.The thesis proposes a systemic and organizational analysis of the drowning risk in PSP based on a combined qualitative methodology : a documentary analysis aimed at quantifying the accidental phenomenon coupled with 9 expert interviews (part C), field observations conducted in 108 PSP in order to objectifying the effectiveness of supervision (part D) and semi-structured interviews to identify the root causes of mismatches : (n = 27) in experimental way for a Grand-Ouest metropolis within the framework of an expertise mission and (n = 30) within the Caen la mer community (part E). The results of the study show that : (1) the production of quantitative data on PSP drowning is hampered by several barriers that make this issue a “blind spot” of the knowledge ; 2) the supervision by lifeguard is degraded half of the observation time and 3) managerial arbitration, organizational dynamics, but also social representations of the actors interfere with the supervision function, exerting influence on its realization and quality. The work highlights the coexistence and redundancy of feedback loops that are relatively efficient but not coordinated, articulated in a contingent way and included into different registers. Monitoring by lifeguards, which is random about its effectiveness, refers to a difficult task, which is highly constrained and, moreover, subject to plural forms of adaptation. This work shows that the management of the drowning risks in these equipment and the current practices are perfectible. Moreover, recommendations were formulated to optimize risk management and pool supervision. Preventive action was also launched (Part F)

In the general framework of Theseus european project, this research work has particularly focused on the Gironde estuary, in France, as a case study.The aim of this work is to provide an alternative framework of adaptation for the flood risk management, in regard of the climate change related uncertainties.In this order, our research is initiated by anexploratory study , of the local perception toward the flood hazard, followed by the analysis of the current flood risk management, as a set of structural and nonstructural measures.The published papers, included in this report, summarize our results and illustrate our iterative approach between the field data collection and the theoretical concepts analysis.This thesis research has led to put forward an operationnal framework to enhance the resilience applied to land use planning, warning systems and evacuation plans, business recovery plans, insurance programs and post trauma management

Full textThe erosion of soft cliffs results from the denudation of inherited, superficial formations covering the current coastlines. Their retreat rate is unsteady and often smaller than on accumulation coasts. This type of cliffs represents, in Brittany, 20 % of the coastline. Although their evolution is not fully understood, urbanization and human activities have grown denser at the top of these soft cliffs and behind, in recent decades. This thesis addresses coastal erosion with a focus on coastal risks induced by current urbanization of these soft cliffs at regional scale. The analysis tackles the hazard, stakes and management components in order to assess erosion risk and to draw near the vulnerability of these territories.A systemic approach is adopted, nesting temporal and spatial scales, with the objective to identify the components contributing to the vulnerability of these coastal territories.A chronicle of erosion events at regional scale is produced to present the spatio-temporal distribution of erosion over the 20th and 21st centuries and to analyze the generating factors.Focusing on six representative sites, aerial photographs (between 1950 and 2015) and photogrammetric monitoring (from 2017 to 2019) allow a quantitative study of the kinematics of soft cliffs retreat. A new paradigm for assessing and mapping the erosion risk for soft cliffs is proposed.Finally, indicators for stakes and risk management allow assessing vulnerability at these sites, and a survey conducted among regional stakeholders identifies gaps in risk management policies. According to their type, soft cliffs show a range of erosion responses, controlled by a combination of subaerial and marine factors, including rainfall. In Brittany, their retreat threatens mainly residential and agricultural lands. The vulnerability indicators highlight the paucity of regulations, local management strategies, dialogue and public awareness. They allow a better understanding of the challenges raised by risk erosion management

Full textThis dissertation addresses the paradoxical institutionalization of inspectorates in the French ministry of Culture. While state control over culture is taboo, this administration has significantly strengthened and made visible its inspection capabilities between 1959 (creation of the ministry) and 2017. The conditions of possibility of such a reversal constitute a historical and sociological puzzle, that our dissertation seeks to explain. Our argument is based on the idea that state control over cultural policies managed to appear and be explicitely undertaken as such since the 2000s, provided that it is presented as a depoliticized surveillance modality. Through the case of the administration of culture, and more particularly the political uses of its inspections, we question more broadly the depoliticization of the political decision. The survey started in 2013 relies on a mixed methodology, which closely associates qualitative and quantitative methods, at the service of a diachronic perspective covering the period 1950-2017

Full textThe recent financial crisis has highlighted the fragilities of an international financial system based on operations with high-level of speculation and disconnect between the real and financial economy. It has then marked the approach of a new era of an ethical Islamic finance. Aiming primarily at the well-being of society and the economic development, Islamic finance embodies the principles of solidarity and social justice. For these purposes, it requires investing in the permissible sectors; prohibits any form of interest and excessive uncertainty; promotes the sharing of profit and loss between contracting parties and focuses on the tangibility of the financed assets. Based on these principles, it adopts sharia compliant financial mechanisms such as moudaraba, mousharaka, ijara, mourabaha, etc. However, such fundamental pillars are not strictly exclusive to the Islamic finance. The general spirit of the French law shares some principles with the Islamic finance and permits as well to implement financing agreements that have their correspondents therein. Thus, without prejudice to the secular nature of the French law, France can aspire to become the “European leader” of Islamic finance. This ambition is asserted through the strong support of the authorities and the amendments of its legal and fiscal framework. Our study shows that there is a conceptual similarity between Islamic finance and conventional finance but their implementation takes different paths. The introduction and the promotion of the Islamic finance in France do not seem to be impossible but may obviously face obstacles at the French level and weaknesses at the Islamic level. Some reforms are desirable in both the French law and the Islamic finance so that they can adapt more smoothly and improve the financing of the global economy

Full textThis doctoral thesis is about a family company in Reunion in the 19th and 20th century from its birth to 1990. The Isautier family developed their business around the sugar cane industry (sugar cane and rum). In 1918, Alfred Isautier bought the distillery, one of the oldest in the island, from the family, purchased new lands and founded his own business “Etablissements Alfred Isautier”. In the early fifties (1950), his sons started new business strategies owing to the resources of the island, and its recently acquired status of “département”. Later in the seventies, because of the crisis, the company went through a major restructuring based on rum industry. This work demonstrates the importance and influence of the company on the local economic trend and its social consequences. The “Etablissements Isautier” had a great ability in facing the insularity and the international situation, the survival and continuity of the family business issuing from the numerous strategies developed by the company

Full textIn 2005-6, the chikungunya virus, transmitted by the Aedes albopictus mosquito, affects 38% of the inhabitants of Reunion Island. This outbreak marks the end of the systematic use of insecticides and the consolidation of health policies. Public authorities enlist citizens and mosquitoes in the development of new frontiers, material and symbolic, between the two species. This thesis aims to examine the effects of these changes in practices on the social relations of power in post-colonial context, and the relationship between humans and mosquitoes.To apprehend the socio-natural dynamics at work, a combinatorial ethnography allowed to observe the co-construction of knowledge and practices in several areas where the distancing mosquitoes gets organized. It was based on the collection of speeches and observing practices in the vector control service, in the heart of a research team on the Sterile insect technique (to release sterile mosquitoes on the island) and from non-control professionals. A collection of articles and archives finalized to constitute the body of data.The aim of this thesis is to show that far from making a simple separation between humans and mosquitoes, new management practices have intensified their interactions. In parallel, it proposes a reflection on the dynamics associated with the coexistence of several interpretive systems, allowing to understand - or not - the collective management of epidemic risk. This is an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between the state, scientists and citizens

Full textSince the eighteenth century, the Paris Opera has been considered to be a “public service corporation”. Many missions were assigned to the theatre: the Opera should traditionally offer the viewer lyrical opuses in a national genre, but it’s role was also to represent the authorities, serve foreign affairs and support a section of the craft industry. The functioning of the "public service of the Opera” raises questions of public order and management. A legal framework was implemented. The police for the theatres was reformed and adapted to the peculiarities of the activity: censorship, police surveillance and fire fighting arrangements were organized by specific measures. The administration of the Opera underwent several upheavals. The authorities hesitated between an ambiguous system of delegation to subsidized contractors and direct state control (or local government control). These institutional reforms had an impact on the legal status of the artists, on the development of their careers and on the organization of their pension fund. All the information necessary for the development of this work is not to be found in the legal regulations. Our method was to cross the legal sources with administrative records and balance sheets, in order to compare the actual running of the theatre with it’s "ideal" functioning, planned in offices, far from the material difficulties of the actual execution. This study reveals the normative force of customary uses in administration, as well as the phenomenon of diversion of the rules by the administrators and the staff. This mode of functioning, often unknown to the bureaucracy, remains the only element of stability in the Opera, since the reign of Louis XIV until the Third Republic
