Download or read book Understanding Business Ecosystems written by Soumaya Ben Letaifa and published by De Boeck Superieur. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? builds on strategic management and innovation management academic contributions to better understand theoretical and empirical challenges of business ecosystems. Even if the concept of business ecosystem was coined in 1993, it will lie fallow during more than ten years before gaining scholars’ interest. Managers will however recognize the relevance of this concept as it grasps the complexity of their business reality in terms of new collaborative and innovative strategies. Thus, the main purpose of this book is twofold. On the one hand, the objective is to identify the epistemological and theoretical fundamentals of business ecosystems, and on the other hand, the purpose is to analyse the various managerial challenges. This volume analyses in particular the issues of knowledge management, coopetition strategies, platforms, governance, etc. Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? is finally a key reference book that innovates by integrating for the first time well known French speaking scholars’ contributions from the strategy and innovation management fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce deuxième volume sur le « Comportement organisationnel » présente des états de l’art sur trois thèmes contemporains suscitant de nombreuses recherches internationales. La première partie traite d’un concept extrêmement utilisé depuis près de vingt ans, celui de la justice organisationnelle. Elle invite des auteurs internationaux à contribuer avec deux des plus grands auteurs du domaine, Jerald Greenberg et Russell Cropanzano. On y trouve une synthèse des travaux théoriques sur la définition du concept et sa mesure, une étude du processus de construction des perceptions collectives de justice, et une analyse systématique des antécédents et des conséquences de la justice organisationnelle. La deuxième partie présente les dernières avancées théoriques sur les enjeux liés à la carrière de l’individu. Elle porte tout d’abord sur la notion et la perception du succès de carrière dans notre société actuelle, s’intéresse ensuite aux enjeux liés à l’équilibre « vie privée–vie professionnelle et se focalise, enfin, sur les obstacles à la progression de carrière des individus en s’attachant, notamment, au cas du plafond de verre chez les femmes et du plateau de carrière chez l’ensemble des employés. La troisième partie réunit des auteurs européens autour d’un thème novateur et encore trop peu traité : l’épuisement professionnel. Elle examine les effets de l’engagement dans le travail et dans l’organisation sur l’épuisement professionnel, étudie les effets de l’épuisement professionnel sur la santé des personnes et se termine par une analyse du lien entre ce concept et les formes de violence au travail.

This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.

Download or read book Stress and Suffering at Work written by Marc Loriol and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores different strands of social constructionist theory and methods to provide a critique of the prevailing discourse of work stress, and introduces a radical new approach to conceptualizing suffering at work. Over the last three decades, stress and other forms of suffering at work (including burn-out, bullying, and issues relating to work-life balance) have emerged as important social and medical problems in Western countries. However, stress is a contested category, not (as many argue) a well-defined clinical, biological and psychological state that affects people in the same way in different cultures and at different times. Thus, a social constructionist perspective helps to shed light on new approaches to prevention and interventions of work stress. This book will be of great interest for students and scholars of sociology, anthropology, social history, history of science, psychology, communication and management, as well as to practitioners (doctors and psychologists), policy makers and employers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La corruption dans l’éducation est aujourd’hui un sujet de préoccupation à l’échelle mondiale qui concerne l’ensemble des Etats membres, à tous les niveaux de l’éducation. Il y a actuellement une prise de conscience générale des effets néfastes des comportements contraires à l’éthique dans le domaine de l’éducation à tous les niveaux et dans tous les pays. Si les principales parties prenantes s’accordent sur la nécessité de combattre la corruption dans l’éducation, les avis sur les moyens à mettre en oeuvre divergent encore. Sur quels principes éthiques fonder une politique éducative dans l’Europe d’aujourd’hui ? Comment parvenir à une réelle éthique, une transparence et une intégrité au sein des établissements scolaires et des universités ? Quelle approche devrait-on favoriser pour contrer les différentes formes de corruption qui affectent, à des niveaux divers, le secteur éducatif ? Cette publication tente d’y répondre, en présentant les 14 principes éthiques pour l’éducation, proposés par la Plate-forme du Conseil de l’Europe sur l’éthique, la transparence et l’intégrité dans l’éducation (ETINED), ainsi que leurs sources et leurs champs d’application.

Download or read book Emotions and Values in Equity Crowdfunding Investment Choices 2 written by Christian Goglin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equity crowdfunding is a new way for seed stage start-ups to generate initial capital and, as such, raises questions around the choices made by investors within this area. Understanding it is important for investor protection, as investors are generally unaware of the factors that can influence their decisions. However, investing in equity crowdfunding places the investor in a unique decision-making framework, in which resources such as images, videos and storytelling are all mobilized by entrepreneurs and platforms as tools of persuasion. This context thus seems to favor more holistic and emotional decision-making, rather than a process that is rational and analytical. Volume 1 presents a transdisciplinary theoretical analysis, combining different fields within the social sciences, primarily finance, marketing and psychology. In this second volume, an explanatory model is developed on the basis of this theoretical framework, which is then empirically tested using data from laboratory experiments. This book also proposes the original theory of emotional matching, which is both justified and substantiated. It personalizes behavior and offers a new perspective based on project characteristics and investor preferences.
Download or read book Learning Organizations written by Ariane Berthoin Antal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to extend the field of organizational learning in several ways. The contributors from three continents bring different perspectives on processes and outcomes of knowledge creation and sharing in and between organizations in diverse contexts. They use approaches and concepts from numerous disciplines including the arts, economics, geography, organizational studies, psychology, and sociology. The contributions enrich the spatial turn in organization studies by offering fresh insights for researchers who seek to attend to the contextual dimensions of the phenomena they are studying. They provide examples of organizational places and spaces that have not yet received sufficient attention, as diverse as temporary international organizations and computer screens.
Download or read book Advances in Psychological Science Volume 2 written by Fergus Craik and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume are the edited versions of invited addresses to the XXVI International Congress of Psychology held in Montréal in August 1996. As one major goal of the Congress was to promote communication among specializations in scientific psychology, the speakers were asked to survey their research area and present their own work in a way that would be accessible to their colleagues in other areas. Another purpose of the meeting was to bring researchers together from different parts of the world, reflecting their different approaches to the scientific study of mind, brain, and behavior. Consequently, the eminent researchers who have written the twenty-six chapters included in the present volume were drawn from universities and research institutes in North America, Europe, Japan, Russia, Israel, and New Zealand. The chapters cover a range of topics in human and animal experimental psychology. The first section deals with psychobiological processes - the interplay of body and mind in determining intelligence, stress, and pain. The next five chapters address current issues in neuropsychology and neuroscience, including the neural correlates of attention and vision. A third section looks at learning processes in humans and animals, and a fourth deals with a range of topics in perception and cognition. The final five chapters take a developmental perspective, presenting theoretical and empirical analyses of the acquisition of perceptual and cognitive abilities. Overall, the collection illustrates the growing trend to break down traditional barriers between areas of experimental psychology; there are many instances of profitable interactions between researchers studying aspects of behavior and those studying the biological bases of these behaviors. The twenty-six chapters give an excellent overview of current research in scientific psychology.
