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.

Globalization and Development
This book presents economic and socio-cultural perspectives on globalization from emerging markets. It explores the links between globalization and development, and reveals the dynamics, strengths and weaknesses, trends in and implications of globalization in emerging market economies. Gathering papers by leading experts in the field, it shares essential insights into the history and status quo of globalization processes and structures; identifies the opportunities provided by and risks posed by globalization; and sheds light on the way to global peace. The topics addressed range from globalization development within the Group of Twenty (G20), populist events such as “Brexit” as a form of historical irony, and a zeitgeist analysis of the globalization spirit; to the evolution of higher education and public administrative systems under the weight of globalization; not to mention emerging topics such as the informal economy and new rules for fleecing the South in the newly globalized trade system.
Collective Innovation Processes
In macro-, meso- and micro-economic systems, the concept of innovation involves a variety of resources and functions. It includes all formal and informal institutions, networks and actors that influence innovation and act as innovation boosters within companies, at the territorial level, at the level of innovation networks or in national economies. This book deals with innovation in a globalized context in terms of the entrepreneur, enterprise, territorial and sectoral systems and national systems of innovation in which collective innovation processes are formed.
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...
Innovation and Creativity in SMEs
In order to survive in their market and differentiate themselves from the competition, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which represent more than 90% of companies worldwide, need to be creative and innovative. This book presents a conceptual framework for thinking about innovation and creativity in SMEs. It takes into account their strategic relation to their environment and the economic, technological and social changes that they face. Their ability to enhance their creativity with new ideas and to legitimize them during their implementation is also taken into account
L'innovation pour le développement
Nouvelles technologies, formes inédites d'organisation du travail et de la production, nouveaux marchés, utilisation de nouvelles sources de matières premières... Dans l'économie mondiale de la connaissance, l'innovation est une boîte de Pandore où se mêlent les atouts, les opportunités et les contraintes. Dans les pays en développement, l'innovation est souvent importée et coûteuse : capitaux étrangers qui affluent, firmes étrangères qui s'installent, modèles d'organisation qui s'imposent parfois sans adaptation au contexte socio-économique local et aux dépens du développement. Mais l'innovation pour le développement provient aussi des initiatives locales et d'entreprene...
Écologie territoriale et transition socio-écologique
Face au dérèglement climatique, à la disparition massive de la biodiversité, à la pénurie d’un nombre croissant de ressources stratégiques, l’évolution de la société doit être pensée de façon systémique. C’est ce que propose l’écologie territoriale fondée sur l’analyse du métabolisme des sociétés humaines et de la mesure de la circulation des flux représentant la matérialité de ces sociétés. Écologie territoriale et transition socio-écologique présente cette approche interdisciplinaire fondée sur l’optimisation des flux (eau, énergie, déchets, etc.), tout en apportant des nouveautés méthodologiques. Il s’intéresse notamment aux questions fondame...
Management créatif des systèmes complexes
Le propre des systèmes complexes est de mettre en oeuvre des mécanismes interactifs en boucle qui rendent impossible toute forme de planification stratégique, et plus largement qui défient la pensée linéaire. Cet ouvrage examine les systèmes complexes du point de vue du management. Il précise tout d’abord les propriétés et l’évolution de ces systèmes. Il traite ensuite de la nécessité de mettre en place des dispositions de recueil et d’interprétation des signaux faibles dans les organisations. Il analyse la place de l’entrepreneur dans les systèmes complexes en insistant sur le rôle de la motivation, de l’imagination et de l’identité sociale de l’individu. L’ouvrage conclut sur la gestion des ressources humaines et le marketing des entreprises au sein des systèmes complexes, en montrant que le comportement des managers en charge de ces fonctions doit s’adapter au contexte. Cet ouvrage offre des exemples sectoriels concrets qui illustrent le travail sur les concepts.
