This book was released on 1996 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pluspart des travaux situés à l'intersection des domaines de la formation de la stratégie, de l'innovation technologique et de la création d'entreprise, mettent en exergue le rôle déterminant de l'apprentissage individuel et organisationnel dans le processus d'émérgence de la jeune entreprise de haute technologie. Toutefoois, ces travaux comportent un ensemble de dualismes irréductibles et se trouvent tiraillés entre quatre dérives principales : une dérive démiurgique, une dérive béhavioriste, une dérive culturaliste et une dérive adaptative. Rappelant l'origine sociale et intersubjective de toute connaissance, ce travail explore l'articulation entre les apprentissages individuels et collectifs qui fonde l'émergence de la démarche stratégique et propose une conceptualisation centrée sur la structuration des processus d'interactions communicationnelles au sein de la jeune entreprise de haute technologie. Modélisation procédurale qui conduit à "désenchanter" les phénomènes de l'émergence de la stratégie et de la création d'entreprise en montrant comment l'équipe entrepreneuriale progresse à travers des éléments de connaissance ordinaire et forge -parfois de façon non intentionnelle- des dispositifs interprétatifs collectifs qui orientent durablement le système d'action de la jeune entreprise de haute technologie. Sur les plans épistémologiques et méthodologiques, ce travail rappelle les fondements de la dynamique interprétative qui transforme le chercheur en un autodidacte conscient des pré-conceptions qui le guident dans sa démarche et argumente l'intérêt de procéder à des investigations fondées sur des études de cas uniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-tech businesses form a crucial part of entrepreneurial activity – in some ways presenting very typical examples of entrepreneurship, yet in some ways representing quite different challenges. The uncertainty in innovation and advanced technology makes it difficult to use conventional economic planning models, and also means that the management skills used in this area must be more responsive to issues of risk, uncertainty and evaluation than in conventional business opportunities. Specifically focusing on the mix of theory and practice needed to accurately inform students, the key topics covered include: uncertainty and innovation entrepreneurial finance marketing technological innovations high-tech incubation management. Including case studies to give practical insights into genuine business examples, this comprehensive book has a distinctly ‘real-world’ focus throughout. Edited by a multi-national team, it draws together leading writers and researchers from across Europe, making it a must-read for all those involved in advanced entrepreneurship with specific interests in high-tech start-ups.
Download or read book Narratives We Organize By written by Barbara Czarniawska and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-06-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of texts that explore the analogy between organizing and narrating, between action and text. The raw material of everyday organizational life consists of disconnected fragments, physical and verbal actions that do not make sense when reported with simple chronology. Narrating is organizing this raw and fragmented material with the help of such devices as plot and characters. Simultaneously, organizing makes narration possible, because it orders people, things and events in time and place. The collection, written by organization researchers from many different countries, explores this analogy in both directions, reporting studies that show how narratives are made in situ, and applying narrative analysis (structuralist and poststructuralist) to stories already in existence. Barbara Czarniawska is Skandia Professor of Management Studies at GRI, School of Economics and Commercial Law, Göteborg University, Sweden. Pasquale Gagliardi is Professor of Sociology of Organization at the Catholic University of Milan, and Managing Director of ISTUD- Istituto Studi Direzionali, Milan-Stresa, Italy.
Download or read book Entrepreneurship and New Value Creation written by Alain Fayolle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-22 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some individuals decide they want to create businesses and then actually do so? Why do others decide against this course of action, even though they appear to have what it takes to succeed? These two questions were among the first that researchers in the field of entrepreneurship tried to answer. Recently, it seems that the problem is much more difficult to solve than it first appeared thirty years ago. The venture creation phenomenon is a complex one, covering a wide variety of situations. The purpose of this book is to improve our understanding of this complexity by offering both a theory of the entrepreneurial process and practical advice on how to start a new business and manage it effectively. Entrepreneurship and New Value Creation is a fascinating, research-driven book that will appeal to graduate students, researchers and reflective practitioners concerned with the dynamics of the entrepreneurial process.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La thèse vise à expliquer la dynamique de l'évolution des projets de création d'entreprises de haute technologie à travers les différentes configurations empruntées par le développement technologique et organisationnel. La revue de littérature dans le domaine de l'entrepreneuriat technologique a montré une grande richesse de facteurs explicatifs de l'évolution des projets de création d'entreprises mais aussi des déficiences du rôle attribué à la technologie qui lui confèrent un statut d'artéfact et non celui de processus à part entière. Une approche conceptuelle de la création de l'entreprise de haute technologie fondée sur la théorie de l'acteur réseau permet de dépasser les approches déterministes afin de s'intéresser au développement conjoint de la technologie et de l'organisation. Le cas d'une innovation de hautes technologies de l'invention à son exploitation est analysé en profondeur selon une démarche de recherche-intervention. L'analyse conduit a l'élaboration d'un outil d'aide à la décision (le dispositif d'intervention) et d'un modèle dynamique de la création de l'entreprise de haute technologie différent de ceux présentés dans la littérature entrepreneuriale. Les principaux apports résident dans l'aide à la prise de décisions stratégiques et à celui de la construction de l'organisation. Cette aide, au départ fondée sur les pratiques de l'intervention, s'est transformée peu à peu en un processus d'apprentissage collectif basé sur une modélisation rationnelle de la construction de l'entreprise technologique en favorisant l'émergence de nouveaux savoirs partageables et durables dans le temps.
Download or read book Strategic Interaction written by Erving Goffman and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two essays in this classic work by sociologist Erving Goffman deal with the calculative, gamelike aspects of human interaction. Goffman examines the strategy of words and deeds; he uses the term "strategic interaction" to describe gamelike events in which an individual's situation is fully dependent on the move of one's opponent and in which both players know this and have the wit to use this awareness for advantage. Goffman aims to show that strategic interaction can be isolated analytically from the general study of communication and face-to-face interaction. The first essay addresses expression games, in which a participant spars to discover the value of information given openly or unwittingly by another. The author uses vivid examples from espionage literature and high-level political intrigue to show how people mislead one another in the information game. Both observer and observed create evidence that is false and uncover evidence that is real. In "Strategic Interaction," the book's second essay, action is the central concern, and expression games are secondary. Goffman makes clear that often, when it seems that an opponent sets off a course of action through verbal communication, he really has a finger on your trigger, your chips on the table, or your check in his bank. Communication may reinforce conduct, but in the end, action speaks louder. Those who gamble with their wits, and those who study those who do, will find this analysis important and stimulating.

Download or read book The Qualimetrics Approach written by Henri Savall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impetus for this work emerged from Savall’s belief that there is a doubleloop interaction between social and economic factors in organizations, between behaviors and structures, and between the quality of life in organizations and their economic performance. When managers underestimate this dynamic interaction, the resulting tension ultimately manifests in lowered performance and increased costs, what he refers to as the “hidden costs” of organizational life. Only by delving into the depths of these organizational dynamics can we hope to fully understand – and create the basis for improving – organizational performance. The Qualimetrics Approach presents a different and challenging way of thinking about analyzing organizations, one that draws together quantitative information, financial analysis and qualitative insights into organizational dynamics. As Savall and Zardet argue, to gain a true understanding of what is happening in organizations, intervener-researchers must focus on all three perspectives, as ignoring any one of them will lead to incomplete understandings. Their approach underscores the importance of using qualitative data to validate quantitative depictions (“the numbers”) of organizational performance in understanding the construction of financial statements. The strength of Savall and Zardet’s approach is that it pushes us to go deeper, to fully understand the narratives underlying the numbers and the social construction of our financial assessments.

Download or read book Women and Trade written by World Bank;World Trade Organization and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.
