Download or read book L entreprise mobile written by Charles-Henri Besseyre des Horts and published by Pearson Education France. This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis l'avènement d'Internet, les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) tiennent une place considérable dans le développement des entreprises. Téléphone et ordinateur portables, réseau sans fil et Internet haut débit permettent aujourd'hui aux salariés de travailler sans contrainte de lieu ni de temps. Or, cette évolution ne va pas sans un profond bouleversement des modes de fonctionnement de l'entreprise. Fruit de trois années de recherche, ce livre analyse avec précision les conséquences organisationnelles et humaines du développement des TIC mobiles. Il en décrit dans un premier temps les avantages évidents - autonomie et flexibilité, réduction des " temps morts ", rationalisation des processus opérationnels, diminution des coûts de structure, etc. - pour nous dévoiler dans un second temps l'inévitable revers de la médaille : remise en cause des valeurs traditionnelles de l'entreprise, dégradation de la qualité des processus de décision, éclatement progressif du collectif, rupture des frontières entre travail et non-travail... Charles-Henri Besseyre des Horts montre combien il est important, dans un processus de changement vers l'entreprise mobile du futur, de mettre en place une stratégie claire de développement des nouvelles technologies, tant pour les organisations que pour les individus.

Download or read book L innovation de mod le d affaires exploitant les technologies de l information et de la communication written by Jean-François Rougès and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les entreprises qui se servent des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) pour innover mesurent des impacts très inégaux sur leurs performances. Cela dépend principalement de l'intensité, l'ampleur et la cohérence de l'innovation systémique auxquelles elles procèdent. En l'état de la connaissance, la littérature identifie le besoin de mieux comprendre cette notion d'alignement systémique. Cette thèse propose d'aborder cette question à l'aide de la notion d'innovation du modèle d'affaires. Une revue systématique de la littérature a été réalisée. D'un point de vue conceptuel, elle contribue à mieux définir le concept de modèle d'affaires, et a permis de réaliser une typologie des différents cadres de modélisation d'affaires. Le cadre conceptuel qui en est issu aborde le sujet de l'innovation du modèle d'affaires à trois niveaux : (1) stratégique à travers la proposition d'une matrice de positionnement de l'innovation de modèle d'affaires et l'identification de trajectoires d'innovation ; (2) configuration du modèle d'affaires à l'aide du cadre de modélisation tétraédrique de Caisse et Montreuil ; et (3) opérationnel-tactique par l'analyse des facteurs clés de succès et des chaines structurantes. Du fait du caractère émergeant de la littérature sur le sujet, la méthodologie choisie est une étude de cas comparés. Trois études de cas d'entreprises québécoises ont été réalisées. Elles oeuvrent dans des secteurs variés, et ont procédé à une innovation significative de leur modèle d'affaires en s'appuyant sur des TIC,. La recherche conclut à la pertinence de l'utilisation du concept de modèle d'affaires en ce qui concerne l'analyse de l'alignement systémique dans un contexte d'innovation appuyée sur les TIC. Neuf propositions de recherche sont énoncées et ouvrent la voie à de futures recherches.

Download or read book Public Technology Procurement and Innovation written by Charles Edquist and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Technology Procurement and Innovation studies public technology procurement as an instrument of innovation policy. In the past few years, public technology procurement has been a relatively neglected topic in the theoretical and research literature on the economics of innovation. Similarly, preoccupation with `supply-side' measures has led policy-makers to avoid making very extensive use of this important `demand-side' instrument. These trends have been especially pronounced in the European Union. There, as this book will argue, existing legislation governing public procurement presents obstacles to the use of public technology procurement as a means of stimulating and supporting technological innovation. Recently, however, there has been a gradual re-awakening of practical interest in such measures among policy-makers in the EU and elsewhere. For these and other related measures, this volume aims to contribute to a serious reconsideration of public technology procurement from the complementary standpoints of innovation theory and innovation policy.

Download or read book Community Rights and Corporate Responsibility written by Liisa North and published by Between The Lines. This book was released on 2006 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian mining activity in Latin America has exploded over the past decade and a half. Investors have responded to neoliberal policies of deregulation, privatization, state-downsizing, and export promotion encouraged by leading capitalist nations and international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The result, predictably, has been sharp conflicts between the communities affected by mining and their advocates on one side, and the transnational mining companies supported by the local state and the Canadian government on the other. This collection, the most comprehensive in the English-language to date, investigates these conflicts in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Contributors address the related sustainable development, community, corporate, legal, and social issues. A valuable contribution to Latin American development studies, this collection will prove of interest to students and specialists in the field, journalists, NGOs, and policymakers.

Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

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 Law and the Sharing Economy written by Derek McKee and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversy shrouds sharing economy platforms. It stems partially from the platforms’ economic impact, which is felt most acutely in certain sectors: Uber drivers compete with taxi drivers; Airbnb hosts compete with hotels. Other consequences lie elsewhere: Uber is associated with a trend toward low-paying, precarious work, whereas Airbnb is accused of exacerbating real estate speculation and raising the cost of long-term rental housing. While governments in some jurisdictions have attempted to rein in the platforms, technology has enabled such companies to bypass conventional regulatory categories, generating accusations of “unfair competition” as well as debates about the merits of existing regulatory regimes. Indeed, the platforms blur a number of familiar distinctions, including personal versus commercial activity; infrastructure versus content; contractual autonomy versus hierarchical control. These ambiguities can stymie legal regimes that rely on these distinctions as organizing principles, including those relating to labour, competition, tax, insurance, information, the prohibition of discrimination, as well as specialized sectoral regulation. This book is organized around five themes: technologies of regulation; regulating technology; the sites of regulation (local to global); regulating markets; and regulating labour. Together, the chapters offer a rich variety of insights on the regulation of the sharing economy, both in terms of the traditional areas of law they bring to bear, and the theoretical perspectives that inform their analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water Communication aims at setting a first general outlook at what communication on water means, who communicates and on what topics. Through different examples and based on different research and contributions, this book presents an original first overview of “water communication”. It sets its academic value as one distinct scientific domain and provides tips and practical tools to professionals. The book contributes to avoid mixing messages, targets and discourses when setting communication related to water issues. The book facilitates coordination within the water sector and its organizations as water is a wide field of applications where inadequate words and language understanding between its stakeholders is one of the main obstacles today. Water Communication provides and describes: a general outlook and retrospective of the history of the water sector in terms of communication the landscape of organizations communicating on water and classification of topics the differences between communication, information, mediation, raising awareness examples of communication campaigns on water Water Communication is a vital resource for communication managers, utility managers, policy makers involved in water management and students in water sciences and environment.
