Background: The advent of digitalization has significantly impacted various aspects of society. Digitalization has aided in the growth of more ecologically friendly practices, and remote work hasreduced the usage of cars and lowered carbon emissions. However, existing literature has indicated that it also has resulted in new challenges such as privacy concerns, cybersecurity threats, and the need fordigital skills. The Covid-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for digitalization, leading to an accelerated trend towards remote and flexible work. The financial sector has also undergone significant changes with the adoption of new technologies. Research on how digital transformation has changed the structural configuration in the banking industry is heavily undeveloped. Notwithstanding, digitalization continues to shape how society lives and interacts with each other. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the influence of digitalization in banking and to comprehend the alterations that have transpired in the structural configuration due to the growing utilization of technology. An evaluation from the standpoint of employees can provide valuable insights into how digitalization has influenced work in the banking industry. This research can offer significant assistance to decision-makers in the banking industry as they devise strategies to adapt to the digital ageand foster a favorable work atmosphere for their employees.

Depuis les années 1990, le Nouveau Management Public a transformé l’hôpital public, on parle d’un tournant gestionnaire. L’apparition des pôles d’activité médicale en 2005, consiste en une nouvelle gouvernance hospitalière. Nous avons cherché comprendre comment les pôles d’activité médicale font-ils évoluer les processus de décisions ? Nous avons choisi de mobiliser le concept de configuration structurelle (Mintzberg, 1982) et la théorie de l’anarchie organisée (Cohen, March et Olsen, 1972). La question est désormais de savoir si le changement de configuration structurelle va accroître ou réduire l’anarchie organisée ? Pour y répondre nous avons réalisé deux phases de récolte de données dans un CHU : l’analyse de la gestion quotidienne de trois pôles et de deux projets de pôle. Notre étude de cas a permis de mettre en évidence que l’hôpital n’est pas devenu une structure divisionnalisée mais qu’il est en transition, dans une configuration structurelle hybride. Les pôles ont eu tendance à augmenter l’anarchie organisée et le slack organisationnel pour l’heure. Notamment à cause de l’influence du contexte économique, l’absence de contrats de pôle, le problème de formation des agents et une opposition constante entre gestionnaires et médicaux. Les pôles se présentent comme de nouvelles unités qui ont rendu plus complexe l’organisation interne. Cependant, l’arrivée des pôles s’est accompagnée d’une redistribution des rôles, de nouveaux outils de gestion et de nouveaux processus de gestion. Ainsi, le changement de configuration structurelle a impacté le processus de décision de l’hôpital, en modifiant les pratiques et les cadres de ces processus de décision. / Since the 1990s, the New Public Management has transformed the public hospital, we talk about a turning management. The emergence of medical activity centers in 2005, consists of a new hospital governance. We sought to understand how the poles of medical activity are changing decision-making processes? We have chosen to mobilize the concept of structural configuration (Mintzberg, 1982) and the theory of organized anarchy (Cohen, March and Olsen, 1972). The question now is whether the change in structural configuration will increase or reduce organized anarchy? To answer this question, we conducted two data collection phases in a CHU: the analysis of the daily management of three clusters and two cluster projects. Our case study revealed that the hospital has not become a divisionalized structure but is in transition, in a hybrid structural configuration. The poles tended to increase organized anarchy and organizational slack for the time being. Notably because of the influence of the economic context, the absence of pole contracts, the problem of training agents and a constant opposition between managers and medical staff. The poles are new units that have made the internal organization more complex. However, the arrival of the clusters has been accompanied by a redistribution of roles, new management tools and new management processes. Thus, the change in structural configuration has impacted the hospital's decision-making process by changing the practices and frameworks of these decision-making processes.

Les exigences de productivité et de qualité dans l’industrie aéronautique imposent d’avoir des machines-outils optimisées en termes de précision, de cinématique et de dynamique. L’objectif des travaux de recherche menés est de proposer de nouvelles méthodologies de conception de machines-outils à haute rigidité pour l’usinage des pièces aéronautique en titane. Dans un premiers temps, la problématique du choix de la configuration structurale la plus adéquate au procédé d’usinage envisagé est traitée en proposant une méthode de synthèse et de sélection basée sur des critères qualitatifs. L’analyse des performances des différentes configurations structurales relatives aux critères qualitatifs adoptés permet de les classer. Les résultats obtenus ont permis d’aboutir à un ensemble restreint de configurations structurales de machines-outils adéquates au procédé d’usinage des pièces aéronautiques en titane. Pour compléter cette méthode, il est alors nécessaire de développer une approche d’analyse quantitative des arrangements structuraux relatifs à chaque configuration structurale. Dans un second temps, une nouvelle approche de sélection des arrangements structuraux de machines-outils est développée. Cette approche consiste tout d’abord à élaborer des modèles réduits des structures de machines-outils considérées. Ensuite, nous mettons en œuvre une optimisation paramétrique en vue de minimiser la masse totale des structures mécaniques de ces machines tout en respectant une contrainte de rigidité cible. Cette optimisation est réalisée par un couplage entre MATLAB et ANSYS APDL. Enfin, le classement des arrangements structuraux selon leurs performances met en évidence ceux les plus appropriés au procédé d’usinage des pièces aéronautiques en titane. Alors ces travaux participent à l'évolution des méthodologies de conception des nouvelles machines d'usinage. / Productivity and quality requirements in the aerospace industry require optimized machine tools in terms of precision, kinematics and dynamics. The objective of this thesis is to propose new methodologies for the design of highly stiffened machine tools for machining titanium aeronautical parts. First, the issue of choosing the most appropriate structural configuration for the machining process is handled by proposing a synthesis and selection method based on qualitative criteria. The performance analysis of the different structural configurations relative to the adopted qualitative criteria makes it possible to classify them. The results obtained have led to a limited set of structural configurations of machine tools suitable for the process of machining titanium aeronautical parts. To complete this method, it is then necessary to develop an approach for quantitative analysis of the structural arrangements corresponding for each structural configuration. In a second step, a new approach for the selection of structural arrangements of machine tools is developed. This approach consists firstly in developing reduced models of considered machine tool structures. Then, we implement a parametric optimization in order to minimize the total mass of the mechanical structures of these machines while under the constraint of a target stiffness. This optimization is achieved by coupling MATLAB and ANSYS APDL. Finally, the classification of structural arrangements according to their performance highlights those most appropriate for the process of machining titanium aeronautical parts. This work contributes to the evolution of design methodologies for new machining machines.
