Matthieu Bunel, « The Modulation/Annualization Choice: A Benefit for the 35-Hour Firms? », Revue économique, ID : 10670/1.b2d8b1...
The modulation/annualisation device is the most frequent 35-hour firms’ organisational change. The aim of this paper is to point out the main determinants of such an organisational choice by using French firms individual data: the passages survey. Firms are assumed to be in an uncertain environment where organisational choice has a strategic value. The theoretical and empirical analysis show that modulation/annualisation organisational choice depends on the trade off between four elements: the demand volatility, the costs to sep up the modulation/annualisation device, the bargaining process and the competitors’ organisational choices.
