Innovation in SMEs and Micro Firms
What is the role of culture in the innovation dynamic of small firms within the context of their territorial environments? How do shared values, beliefs and practices underpin the knowledge production process that leads to innovation? In what way do symbolic aspects of social life shape European SMEs’ innovation processes? This volume gives an extensive insight into the complex links between culture and innovation in one of the key agents of economic life: SMEs and micro firms. The chapters employ different analytical and methodological strategies in regions of Europe to identify dimensions of culture, especially values, norms, skills and institutions, and to scrutinize which specific comp...
No-Excuses Innovation
The case for innovation and a clear, targeted strategy for planning and implementation that will help small- and medium-sized mature enterprises (SMMEs) thrive through reinvention and renewal. In contrast to large companies, SMMEs are on their own to win or lose in the marketplace. They may lack the relative economies of scale and scope, available to large companies, to understand and invest in innovation. Often they are in a position of sustained disadvantage with no perceived path of renewal. As SMMEs approach maturity, it is common for them to choose to only maintain what they believe to be the safety of maturity attained rather than to opt for a strategy that also includes constant reinv...
Innovación y sociedad
En los últimos años se han experimentando cambios sociales que pueden suponer ciertas variaciones en las expectativas y orientaciones respecto al papel que deben ejercer los hombres hacia las tareas domésticas. El objetivo principal de este estudio es determinar los diferentes perfiles de hombres según su dedicación hacia las tareas domésticas, así como analizar hasta qué punto estos perfiles correlacionan o no con sus creencias y percepciones sobre la forma en que deberían ser. A partir de las últimas bases de datos disponibles del CIS del Barómetro de Familia y Género, este estudio presenta una tipología de los perfiles masculinos según su dedicación, con un especial interé...
‘Geef me de ruimte'
Literair journalist Vivian de Gier brengt Thea Beckman opnieuw tot leven zoals ze was: een gedreven vrouw die, ongeacht wat anderen daarvan vonden, altijd haar eigen weg koos. Scholieren gingen door haar boeken geschiedenis studeren. Ze wilden schrijver worden, of troubadour. Ouders noemden hun pasgeborenen Hasse of Thura. En als de kinderen haar romans uit hadden, lazen hun ouders en grootouders ze daarna. Met haar avontuurlijke jeugdromans vol eigenzinnige, vrijgevochten personages vernieuwde Thea Beckman (1923-2004) de naoorlogse jeugdliteratuur en veroverde ze de harten van generaties lezers, jong én oud. Ze wist al op haar elfde dat ze schrijfster wilde worden. Maar dat ze een van de b...
A Companion to Mysticism and Devotion in Northern Germany in the Late Middle Ages
The volume explores the hitherto uncharted late medieval religious landscape of Northern Germany, from 13th-century Helfta to the 15th-century Lüneburg convents. The mystical and devotional writing of Northern Germany is contextualised through chapters on the Netherlands, Scandinavia and East Prussia. The seminal influence of the liturgy on these texts and their transmission is revealed in the creative interplay of Latin and Low German. Through the individual chapters and their appendices, which also contain translations into English, the reader can access a wealth of texts produced by communities of religious and lay women who write learnedly in Latin and fervently in Low German. Together, the chapters and appendices reveal a fascinating regional "mystical culture" which also reverberated across Northern Europe. Contributors include: Jürgen Bärsch, Anne Bollmann, Veerle Fraeters, Ulrike Hascher-Burger, Ernst Hellgardt, Tanja Mattern, Balazs Nemes, Sara S. Poor, Eva Schlotheuber, Almut Suerbaum, and Geert Warnar.

Postcolonial Netherlands
"The Netherlands is home to one million citizens with roots in the former colonies Indonesia, Suriname and the Antilles. Entitlement to Dutch citizenship, pre-migration acculturation in Dutch language and culture as well as a strong rhetorical argument ('We are here because you were there') were strong assets of the first generation. This 'postcolonial bonus' indeed facilitated their integration. In the process, the initial distance to mainstream Dutch culture diminished. Postwar Dutch society went through serious transformations. Its once lily white population now includes two million non-Western migrants and the past decade witnessed heated debates about multiculturalism. The most importan...
