This book was released on 1997 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IL S'AGIT D'EXPLIQUER, A L'AIDE DE CONCEPTS EMPRUNTES A L'ECONOMIE INDUSTRIELLE, LES DIFFICULTES DE PENETRATION DES PRODUITS PROPRES SUR LES MARCHES. UNE DEMARCHE EST ENSUITE PROPOSEE POUR SURMONTER CES OBSTACLES. DEUX BARRIERES A L'ENTREE DES PRODUITS PROPRES SUR LES MARCHES SONT MISES EN EVIDENCE : LA CONCURRENCE EN PRIX ET L'INFORMATION IMPARFAITE. LA CONCURRENCE EN PRIX ELIMINE DU MARCHE LES PRODUITS PROPRES QUI NECESSITENT DES INVESTISSEMENTS ELEVES POUR DETENIR LEURS CARACTERISTIQUES PROPRES. L'INFORMATION ASYMETRIQUE CONDUIT A UN PROCESSUS DE SELECTION ADVERSE, QUI ELIMINE LES VRAIS PRODUITS PROPRES AU BENEFICE DES PRODUITS CLASSIQUES OU DES FAUX PRODUITS PROPRES. CAR LES PRODUITS PROPRES SONT DES BIENS DE CONFIANCE, ILS ONT DES CARACTERISTIQUES MAL PERCUES PAR LES CONSOMMATEURS, QUI PEUVENT EN PLUS ETRE TROMPES PAR DES VENDEURS PRESENTANT DES PRODUITS COMME PROPRES ALORS QU'ILS NE LE SONT PAS. APRES CE DIAGNOSTIC, LE RETABLISSEMENT D'UNE INFORMATION CREDIBLE APPARAIT COMME L'ELEMENT DETERMINANT DE LA DIFFUSION DES PRODUITS PROPRES SUR LES MARCHES. L'ENTREPRISE D'ABORD DOIT JOUER PLEINEMENT SON ROLE. LA THEORIE DE LA DEMANDE DE LANCASTER, PARTICULIEREMENT ADAPTEE A CETTE APPROCHE EN TERMES DE CARACTERISTIQUES DES PRODUITS PROPRES, MONTRE L'IMPORTANCE DU COMPORTEMENT DU CONSOMMATEUR ET DES STRATEGIES DES FIRMES. POUR CONTOURNER LA BARRIERE DE LA CONCURRENCE EN PRIX, L'ENTREPRISE DOIT S'ENGAGER DANS UNE STRATEGIE DE DIFFERENCIATION PARTICUMIERE. LES CARACTERISTIQUES ECONOMIQUES DES PRODUITS PROPRES CONDUISENT A CONSIDERER LA DIFFERENCIATION DES PRODUITS PROPRES COMME OBJECTIVE (OU REELLE), MAIS AUSSI ET SIMULTANEMENT SUBJECTIVE. ELLE EST EGALEMENT HORIZONTALE, ET INFORMATIVE. POUR REUSSIR CETTE STRATEGIE, ELLE DOIT REALISER UN ENGAGEMENT IRREVOCABLE, ET METTRE SA REPUTATION EN JEU, PAR UNE POLITIQUE DE COMMUNICATION MASSIVE BASEE SUR DES ANALYSES DU CYCLE DE VIE NORMALISES ET DYNAMIQUES. LES INSTITUTIONS DOIVENT JOUER LEUR ROLE, PAR UNE ADAPTATION DE LA LEGISLATION AUX PROBLEMES ENVIRONNEMENTAUX DE L'EPOQUE MODERNE (GENERALISATION DE LA RESPONSABILITE OBJECTIVE NOTAMMENT, CREATION DE TRIBUNAUX SPECIALISES DANS L'ENVIRONNEMENT), ET PAR LA CREATION D'ENTREPRISES D'AUDIT D'ENVIRONNEMENT CERTIFIANT LES CARACTERISTIQUES PROPRES DES PRODUITS.

Download or read book The Sources of Innovation written by Eric von Hippel and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been assumed that new product innovations are typically developed by product manufacturers, an assumption that has inevitably had a major impact on innovation-related research and activities ranging from how firms organize their research and development to how governments measure innovation. In this synthesis of his seminal research, von Hippel challenges that basic assumption and demonstrates that innovation occurs in different places in different industries. Presenting a series of studies showing that end-users, material suppliers, and others are the typical sources of innovation in some fields, von Hippel explores why this variation in the "functional" sources of innovation occurs and how it might be predicted. He also proposes and tests some implications of replacing a manufacturer-as-innovator assumption with a view of the innovation process as predictably distributed across users, manufacturers, and suppliers. Innovation, he argues, will take place where there is greatest economic benefit to the innovator.

Download or read book Organizational Intelligence written by Harold L. Wilensky and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2015-02-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prize-winning book Organizational Intelligence focuses on the structural and ideological roots of intelligence (informational and analytical) failures in government, industry, and other institutions. It provides groundbreaking theory and structure to the analysis of decision-making processes and their breakdowns, as well as the interactions among experts and the organizations they inform. In this book, both "organization" and "intelligence" are taken to their larger meanings, not just focused on the military meaning of intelligence or on one set of institutions in society. Astute illustrations of intelligence failures abound from real-world cases, such as foreign policy (the Bay of Pigs, Soviet predictions in the Cuban missile crisis), military (civilian bombing of Germany, Pearl Harbor), financial (AmEx's investment in a vegetable oil guru), economics (the Council of Economic Advisers) and industrial production (Ford's Edsel), as well as many other telling arenas and disciplines. Economic, cultural, legal, and political contexts are considered, as well as the more known institutions of government and commerce. The new Classics of the Social Sciences edition from Quid Pro Books features a 2015 Foreword from Neil J. Smelser, University Professor Emeritus at Berkeley and former chair of its sociology department. He writes that the book remains "one of the classics in organizational studies, and—in ways I will indicate—it is still directly relevant to current and future problems of organizational life. ... What makes this book a classic? It is a disciplined, intelligent, and elegant model of applied social science. ... The text itself, richly documented empirically, yields an informed and balanced account of the decision-making process as this is shaped by the quality of information available (and unavailable) to and used (and not used) by organizational leaders." Reviews of the book at the time it was written similarly attest to the originality and breadth of its interdisciplinary analysis. Amitai Etzioni wrote in the American Sociological Review: "This book opens a whole new field — the macrosociology of knowledge. It is as different from the traditional sociology of knowledge as the study of interaction is from that of the structure of total societies." He adds, "The power of Wilensky's contribution is further magnified by his historical perspective. He studies structures and processes, but not in a vacuum." Gordon Craig wrote in The Reporter that the book's examples from organizations "show a similar tendency to believe what they want to believe, to become the victims of their own slogans and propaganda, and to resist or to silence warning voices that challenge their assumptions.... In his fascinating analysis of intelligence failures and their causes ... in the public and private sectors, Wilensky finds that the most disastrous miscalculations are those which have occurred in the field of governmental operations, especially foreign policy and national security." The book explains how such highly institutionalized actors are vulnerable to informational pathologies. The new digital edition features active Contents, a fully linked Index, linked notes, and proper ebook formatting. It is a modern, quality, and authorized re-presentation of a classic work in social science and organizational studies.
Download or read book PROMOTION DE LA SANTE ET AUTONOMISATION DANS LE CONTEXTE AFRICAIN written by David HouŽto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.
Download or read book Competition and Growth written by Philippe Aghion and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008-01-25 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though competition occupies a prominent place in the history of economic thought, among economists today there is still a limited, and sometimes contradictory, understanding of its impact. In Competition and Growth, Philippe Aghion and Rachel Griffith offer the first serious attempt to provide a unified and coherent account of the effect competition policy and deregulated entry has on economic growth. The book takes the form of a dialogue between an applied theorist calling on "Schumpeterian growth" models and a microeconometrician employing new techniques to gauge competition and entry. In each chapter, theoretical models are systematically confronted with empirical data, which either invalidates the models or suggests changes in the modeling strategy. Aghion and Griffith note a fundamental divorce between theorists and empiricists who previously worked on these questions. On one hand, existing models in industrial organization or new growth economics all predict a negative effect of competition on innovation and growth: namely, that competition is bad for growth because it reduces the monopoly rents that reward successful innovators. On the other hand, common wisdom and recent empirical studies point to a positive effect of competition on productivity growth. To reconcile theory and evidence, the authors distinguish between pre- and post-innovation rents, and propose that innovation may be a way to escape competition, an idea that they confront with microeconomic data. The book's detailed analysis should aid scholars and policy makers in understanding how the benefits of tougher competition can be achieved while at the same time mitigating the negative effects competition and imitation may have on some sectors or industries.
