This volume analyses in particular the issues of knowledge management, coopetition strategies, platforms, governance, etc. Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? is finally a key reference book that innovates by integratingfor the first time well known French speaking scholars' contributions from the strategy and innovation management fields.
Idiosyncratic deals (I-deals) are individualized work agreements negotiated between employee and employer. Examples include working from home, shortened work days and/or weeks, and taking on responsibilities not enumerated in the job description. I-deals fulfil unique employee needs that lay outside the employer’s standard offerings, and engender a wide range of positive outcomes for both parties, such as employee well-being, work-life balance, career development, and enhanced job performance and citizenship behaviors. I-deals have the potential to be a strategic HR device for addressing the changing needs and preferences of employees, employers, and the wider society in the post-pandemic ...

Idiosyncratic deals, or i-deals, are the individualised working arrangements negotiated by employees with the organizations for which they work. Such deals represent an emerging area of study into the effects they have on both parties, as well as co-workers and the wider working world. Do i-deals signify a further breakdown of collectivism within the workplace, or should they be seen as empowering to those employees able to find themselves the best deal? Is the growth of i-deals an inevitable response to the need for more flexible working relationships, or do they erode concepts of equality and fairness? In this important new collection, i-deals are discussed from a comprehensive range of vi...
This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.

Comment sortir de la crise politique, morale et économique, qui sème le doute sur la pérennité du capitalisme ? À une période de grands bouleversements où la finance sert de dogme pour la performance, où l’entreprise perd ses points de repère, où les pouvoirs publics n’ont plus de marge de manoeuvre, il est temps de réfléchir à un nouveau pacte social dans l’économie de marché. Est-il possible d’adopter des comportements moins individualistes, pour produire des richesses ? Est-ce que la cohésion sociale est préservée dans l’entreprise par une gouvernance plus démocratique, dans des territoires à taille humaine, en multipliant les collaborations de proximité ? C...
The new immigrant experience of waking from the American dream to fortress America.
Comprendre les attitudes et les comportements des individus et des groupes humains dans les organisations, en analyser les évolutions, en connaître les déterminants et les conséquences, soulèvent des questions sans cesse renouvelées. Ce premier volume d’une série de trois ouvrages propose de développer plusieurs domaines fondamentaux du comportement organisationnel : le contrat psychologique, les émotions au travail et la socialisation organisationnelle. Chacun de ces thèmes correspond à des domaines de recherche particulièrement féconds et à des problématiques centrales pour le management des ressources humaines dans les entreprises et les administrations. Traitée sous forme d’états de l’art actualisés, c’est la place des relations humaines dans les organisations qui est explorée selon des perspectives variées et novatrices.
