Functional Economy
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.

Public–Private Innovation Networks in Services
ÔFor too long the prevalent view has been that the public and private sectors differ dramatically when it comes to innovation. This book takes a radically different tack, not as a rhetorical stance, but as the basis for fruitful empirical analysis. The studies here show that public service organizations and their leaders can be innovative in their own right. The contributions made here provide insights that will productively inform future research and practice.Õ Ð Ian Miles, University of Manchester, UK This book is devoted to the study of publicÐprivate innovation networks in services (ServPPINs). These are a new type of innovation network which have rapidly developed in service economi...
Innovation Economics, Engineering and Management Handbook 1
Innovation, in economic activity, in managerial concepts and in engineering design, results from creative activities, entrepreneurial strategies and the business climate. Innovation leads to technological, organizational and commercial changes, due to the relationships between enterprises, public institutions and civil society organizations. These innovation networks create new knowledge and contribute to the dissemination of new socio-economic and technological models, through new production and marketing methods. Innovation Economics, Engineering and Management Handbook 1 is the first of the two volumes that comprise this book. The main objectives across both volumes are to study the innovation processes in todays information and knowledge society; to analyze how links between research and business have intensified; and to discuss the methods by which innovation emerges and is managed by firms, not only from a local perspective but also a global one. The studies presented in these two volumes contribute toward an understanding of the systemic nature of innovations and enable reflection on their potential applications, in order to think about the meaning of growth and prosperity.
Circular Economy, Industrial Ecology and Short Supply Chain
In contrast to the linear "take-make-dispose" model of resource consumption, a new industrial model is proposed in the form of a circular economy. This model aims to optimize the use of resources and to reduce or eliminate waste, and is based on re-use, repair, ecodesign, industrial ecology, sustainable supply and responsible consumption. Industrial ecology and short supply chains can contribute – particularly on a territorial scale – to the emergence of a real sustainable development. This book develops these concepts and presents experiments that are taking place in France and other countries, in addition to an integrated model which details the mechanisms through which industrial ecology and short supply chains can generate economic, social and environmental profits. The possible issues and obstacles facing these new practices are also analyzed, in order to develop the outline of an adapted management and governance which will enable them to be fully realized.
Les services
Par leur contribution majeure à l'emploi et à la valeur ajoutée, les services sont au coeur des économies contemporaines. Ils incluent notamment les services professionnels et scientifiques, les services financiers, mais aussi les services à la personne. Révolutionnés par les technologies numériques et favorisant l'expansion des activités « de proximité » et « à distance », les services rapprochent les acteurs économiques et modifient les relations sociales ; ils modèlent les rapports inter-individuels, inter-entreprises, intersectoriels. Ce numéro fait apparaître les services comme le ciment de l'ensemble des activités productives, aujourd'hui entrainées dans un double mouvement de socialisation et de marchandisation. Créateurs de « relations » entre activités économiques et de lien social, ils portent en eux un pouvoir de transformation, de transitions des sociétés vers plus de durabilité et d'inclusion sociale.
Dynamiques internationales des entreprises
L'international est, pour la majorité des entreprises, la panacée pour développer leurs marchés, mais aussi pour s'approvisionner. L'ouverture des frontières permet d'offrir des opportunités de développement, mais accentue aussi la concurrence. Le commerce international et la délocalisation de la production sont ainsi devenus les deux piliers du système entrepreneurial. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage s'interrogent donc sur le choix du développement à l'international et présentent différentes problématiques touchant les entreprises pour favoriser ce développement, chaque article apportant un éclairage différent.
L'avenir des économies du Maghreb
La crise financière de 2008, conjuguée avec les récents bouleversements du printemps arabe, ont dévoilé la fragilité des systèmes politiques et économiques des pays du Maghreb. Ce numéro est consacré aux enjeux et défis auxquels font face ces pays dans leur mutation vers un nouveau modèle de développement basé sur l'innovation : quelles politiques publiques d'investissement et d'innovation ? Comment dynamiser les secteurs économiques clés ? La promotion de l'entrepreneuriat local est-elle capable de réveiller les forces productives ?
