Mineral Resources Economy 1
The constant increase in the consumption of mineral resources, as well as the growing awareness of their exploitation, is causing deep concern within the scientific community. This concern is justified by the fact that the energy transition will increase the pressure on these resources, as renewable energies require an increased and more diversified quantity of mineral materials. This book presents an overview of the exploitation of these mineral resources, where the natural, regulatory and environmental constraints interfere with economic, financial and geopolitical interests. By mobilizing the fields of the humanities, geosciences and engineering, it also analyzes the challenges that the energy transition will encounter, challenges related to the contradictory effects that the acceleration of the extraction of these resources will have on their physical availability, the economies that exploit them and the populations that live off of them
Innovation for Society
In a context marked by unprecedented challenges (the struggle against inequalities, climate change, etc.), innovation appears to be the readymade universal scapegoat. Innovation for Society, however, suggests that we look at innovation differently, by inviting us to innovate with consciousness. To do this, the authors introduce an approach they call Penser le Sens de l’Innovation (P.S.I., or “thinking about the meaning of innovation”), comprising a set of tools largely from the humanities and social sciences (observation, cartography, creativity, storytelling, etc.) to lead us to this “meaning”. By considering the question of “meaning” from the point of view of both direction and signification, the authors rehabilitate the eminently political question of knowing which innovations we choose for which societies.
L'Afrique questions de performances
La caractérisation de la diversité des performances — qu’elles soient financières, commerciales, technologiques, économiques, organisationnelles, ressources humaines, environnementales, etc. — mobilise des ressources, des concepts, des grilles théoriques… L’Afrique est considérée comme un laboratoire d’idées et d’investigations pionnières grâce au recours à des outils méthodologiques mixtes et à des épistémologies originales. Les territoires, les écosystèmes d’affaires et d’innovation et les différents types d’ancrage des organisations et des marchés expliquent une partie de (des) la performance(s) du continent. Ce numéro spécial de Marché et Organis...
La globalisation créative
La série Smart innovation présente les thèmes liés à la dynamique technologique, entrepreneuriale, territoriale et économique de l'innovation. Elle privilégie les approches novatrices des acteurs qui, par leurs comportements, stratégies et politiques d'innovation intelligente, modifient les modèles économiques dans une perspective de croissance durable. La globalisation provient de nouvelles solidarités macroéconomiques. Celles-ci ont été attestées depuis le milieu des années 1980, avec l’observation du monde tripolaire de Kenichi Ohmae. La globalisation créative a plusieurs visages : celui des stratégies d’élargissement de l’innovation locale, celui des innovations réalisées par des organisations nées « globales » et enfin celui des partenariats entre organisations dans le cadre de cette globalisation. Le but de cet ouvrage est de présenter un tableau des transformations des systèmes d’innovation engendrées par la globalisation. Il expose les théories de la globalisation, et clarifie leur relation avec l’innovation. Complet, avec des exemples dans de nombreux secteurs, il constitue une synthèse sans précédent sur ce thème.
Agro-ressources et écosystèmes
L'un des grands défis qui se posent actuellement au niveau mondial est de développer les ressources d'origine agricole pour faire face aux besoins alimentaires d'une population de plus en plus nombreuse et aux besoins non alimentaires, notamment énergétiques également croissants. Ce volume interroge le développement des agro-ressources et leur compatibilité avec la préservation de l'environnement.--[Memento].
Innovation et export
L’innovation et l’exportation sont traditionnellement considérées séparément, tant au sein des entreprises que des organismes de soutien qui leur sont dédiés. Aussi, il n’existe que très peu de travaux académiques axés sur la façon de mettre en oeuvre cette relation de manière opérationnelle. Cet ouvrage propose un outil de diagnostic conjoint à destination des PME, mettant en avant de bonnes pratiques à maîtriser pour améliorer simultanément leurs performances en matière d’innovation et d’exportation, à la manière d’un cercle vertueux. Innovation et export : le double défi de la petite entreprise vise à promouvoir une prise en compte simultanée de l’innovation et de l’exportation dans le management stratégique des PME, pour qui l’exploitation de synergies s’avère être un levier puissant permettant de pallier leurs difficultés à mobiliser des ressources importantes.
Environmental Transition and Technological Change Transition
Faced with the scale and intensity of the ecological crisis, environmental transition is underway, consisting of a first phase of technological mutation, aimed at replacing technologies harmful to the environment with those which have no destructive effects on the earth system and its equilibrium. This book examines the roots of the concept of environmental transition, identifying and characterizing the negative effects of technology on the environmental crisis. We will then identify the technological mutations that have the potential to contribute to environmental transition, and demonstrate how these changes are already forming part of a new emerging "technological system". We will conclude by addressing the question of the limits of technological responses to the environmental crisis, demonstrating the importance of the dimensional factors of human activity and weight of growth in this crisis, thus raising the issue of global reconsideration, with reference to the place and articulation of human activity in the Earth system.
The Emergence of Start-ups
In France, the number of young start-ups has soared since the beginning of the 2010s, leading the government to encourage their development and make France the “start-up nation”. This book contributes to a better understanding of the emergence of these companies by studying the influence of the ecosystem on their development and the modes of financing that they use. The financing of start-ups remains a major challenge insofar as they are often faced with refusal from the banks. Successful financing depends largely on the geopolitical and economic environment. Through a comparative study of models from both France and English-speaking countries, the authors explore possible financing solutions for France. The book concludes with a discussion of equity crowdfunding, which proves to be a successful financing alternative. Including theoretical and empirical studies, this book provides concrete solutions aimed at developing innovative entrepreneurship in France.
Experience in Healthcare Innovation
Using the experience of patients, users, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders to innovate and rethink healthcare organizations and systems is gaining ground. Deploying these innovative methods and practices, however, requires an understanding and mastery of theoretical principles, as well as experimenting with them in the field. Experience in Healthcare Innovation alternates between theoretical presentations and case studies/examples in order to present the key notions of innovation in healthcare and the experiences of the people at the heart of healthcare ecosystems. It brings together diverse and complementary perspectives, shedding new light on the issue of healthcare experience through the prism of innovation. It includes a wealth of resources, ideas and results for all of those in healthcare wishing to implement innovative approaches that place the human experience at the heart of healthcare ecosystems.
Sustainable Enterprise Performance
Sustainable Enterprise Performance details a method for evaluating an enterprise’s readiness and progress toward sustainable performance through a comprehensive set of qualitative and quantitative indicators. These indicators cover enterprise strategy for meeting both the impact of the enterprise within the framework of corporate social responsibility and the expectations of stakeholders, evolving and monitoring the product and service offerings and business processes. The second half of the book focuses more closely on fundamental determinants of performance, such as digital transformation and artificial intelligence, corporate culture, ethics and compliance, branding and e-reputation and best-practice Lean management, and provides practical measures against which companies may assess the maturity of their sustainable performance.
