Risk management practices are growing both in number and complexity in businesses, notably driven by new regulatory standards that feature risk management at their core. Although large businesses are more likely to adopt a formal, holistic approach to risk management, the stakes are just as high for SMEs. Risk management in SMEs can contribute to a certain organizational, entrepreneurial and partnership dynamic which constitutes a real opportunity to evolve practices and improve performance. This book offers varied responses to this question by combining conceptual approaches, empirical illustrations and the associated managerial implications.
Les pratiques de gestion des risques se multiplient et se développent dans les entreprises, notamment sous l’impulsion de nouvelles normes qui placent le management des risques au coeur des préoccupations. Si les grandes entreprises sont plus susceptibles d’adopter une approche holistique et formelle, l’enjeu n’est pas moins important pour les PME. Au contraire, la gestion des risques dans les PME peut contribuer à une certaine dynamique partenariale, organisationnelle et entrepreneuriale, constituant une réelle opportunité de faire évoluer les pratiques et d’améliorer les performances. La question est ainsi de comprendre en quoi la gestion des risques peut être un levier de création de valeur et d’innovation pour les PME. Cet ouvrage offre des éléments de réponse en mêlant approches conceptuelles, illustrations empiriques et implications managériales. Il permet aux étudiants, aux enseignants et aux dirigeants de mieux appréhender les enjeux de la gestion des risques pour les PME d’aujourd’hui et de demain.

Functional Economy is a concept that is often associated with ecological transition and sustainable development. It prioritizes the use of a service or good rather than its sale, and tends to encourage cooperation. This model supports the transition to a more ecological and equitable economic and social environment. This book presents the different approaches to the Functional Economy and the ways in which the various players (companies, public institutions and citizens) are adopting and adapting them through innovation. Depending on their degree of sustainability and their scope, these innovations can have major economic, social and environmental impacts. Particularly at the local territorial level, those involved in innovation need to be supported as closely as possible if they are to overcome the hurdles they face and reap the rewards of the transformations brought about by this socio economic model, which is built around functionality.
Recent advances in the disciplines of computer science (e.g., quantum theory, artificial intelligence), biotechnology and nanotechnology have deeply modified the structures of knowledge from which military capabilities are likely to develop. This book discusses the implications of disruptive technologies for the defence innovation ecosystem. Two complementary dimensions of the defence innovation ecosystem are highlighted: the industrial and intra-organizational. On the industrial scale, there is a shift in the ecology of knowledge underpinning the defence industrial and technological base (DITB). At the intra-organizational level, it is the actors’ practices that change and, through them, their skills and the processes by which they are acquired and transferred. In this context, the sources and legitimacy of innovation are being transformed, in turn requiring sometimes radical adaptations on the part of the various actors, including companies, military services, research communities and governmental agencies, which make up the defence innovation ecosystem.
