The use of social media for knowledge acquisition and dissemination in B2B companies: an empirical study of Finnish technology industries
2019
Scholars and practitioners of knowledge management have paid increasing attention to the adoption of social media in business-to-business (B2B) setting for knowledge sharing; however, both the theoretical and empirical research in this domain are quite fragmented. The aim of this research is to deepen the understanding about the B2B companies’ awareness of the potentials of social media in improving their absorptive capacity and, consequently, if and how such companies deploy knowledge strategies based on social media adoption. We carried out an empirical survey of Finnish technology companies operating purely in B2B markets. Results highlight that social media adoption is still in a prelim…
Zarządzanie funkcją środowiskową w rolnictwie - źródło nowych rent gospodarstw rolnych
2016
W Unii Europejskiej ekologizacja rolnictwa stanowi wstępny etap takiej jego transformacji, która umożliwi gospodarstwom rolnym, rozmieszczonym w różnych miejscach przestrzeni europejskiej, trwały udział w kreowaniu zielonego wzrostu. Praca jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy dzięki doskonaleniu zarządzania funkcją środowiskową towarowe gospodarstwa rolne regionu opolskiego mogą przygotować się do wyzwań związanych z gospodarką sieciową i zadań obecnego etapu ich modernizacji? W opracowaniu przedstawiono rolę polityki ekologicznej w definiowaniu obecnego etapu modernizacji gospodarstw rolnych, mechanizmy jej integracji z celami WPR do 2020 r. oraz strategią Europa 2020.

L'économie matérielle de la France (1830-2015). L'histoire d'un parasite ?
2018
This article explores the long-term dynamics of material use in France over a period of 185 years. It is based on material flow accounts that are perfectly consistent with the standards of Material Flows Analysis at the national economic scale. This work - which covers domestic extraction, imports and exports - is the first long-term study of material flows for France, with annual and national data for most of the period. Our database allows us to study the evolution of French metabolism during the industrialization of the country, together with the increasing dependence on abiotic materials. We highlight a singular metabolic trajectory: that of a state that benefits from successive world-s…
L'allocation de ressources par élève dans le système éducatif français : point de vue d'un économiste
1993
This article examines why it is interesting to have a better knowledge of unit costs in educational systems, and to analyse differences between levels of education, between schools and between countries. It underlines the fact that few studies have been carried out up to now, and that little agreement exists among specialists concerning the methodologies for estimating costs. In spite or these deficiencies in available information, the author reviews existing case studies in France and in the world, and shows that extensive possibilities of improving the cost-effectiveness of ressources allocation still exist. Comparisons between France and its economic partners show that French unit costs …
La formation du capital humain : gestion par le marché ou gestion par l'État
1992
Human capital formation : state or market management This paper examines the likely difficulties of the management by the state of the education sector. Concerning the operation of the system, the analysis is based on international comparisons and on the French experience. As a whole the difficulties are linked to the weak accountability and justification in the use of the resources mobilized. This arises from the absence of the regulatory mechanisms as those existing in a market oriented activity. Economist's approach and tools (cost-effectiveness, production theory, ...) can be used as a substitute to such mechanisms. In a same line of argument, the article adresses the issue of external …
Pourquoi la science économique redécouvre les activités d'éducation ?
1993
The high level in public deficit and the preeminence of supply side ideas in the economic thought converge for introducing a debate on educational financing. The aim of education activities is also more and more confronted with the rise of youth unemployment. But on the other side, the challenge for a nation to participate in the new global economy emphasizes the place of human capital and the correlation between competitiveness, and the distribution of general knowledge in the population. This text deals first with some factual elements. On one hand, it provides a comparative approach among rich nations, on the other hand, it deals with a historical approach of the French case. In a second…

Pour une politique de la qualité de l'école primaire en Afrique : évaluation des acquis des élèves en CP et en CM au Togo
1993
Policy decisions in education cannot be made upon opinions and subjectives factors ; this is especially true in African countries where demographic and economic constraints are particularly binding. A key element is to measure the impact of the various factors affecting student learning, even though this step has to be complemented by cost estimates so as to produce cost-efficiency indicators. This papers concerns primary schooling in Togo and aims at documenting the link between school factors on the one hand, pupil achievement on the other. The results have very clear consequences in terms of educational policy since they show that inputs such as school building in concrete or recruitemen…
Analyse des méthodes d'enseignement des sciences économiques dans le système éducatif Libanais
2009
Teaching economics become part of the Lebanese education system in 2000. The short history of this field is promising because of the nature of the discipline and its position in the education system in Lebanon. Teaching economics in Lebanese schools was not created on its own, but as a part of a project that aims to reform all the programs and the structures of high schools in Lebanon that started long time ago. This reform was based on relevant innovations adopted in France. Since its creation, the new section (ES) was successful in tripling its enrollment over nine years while its success rate continues to fall and decrease to become the lowest within all the other sections and taught dis…
Evolución de la oferta exportable en Santander, Colombia 2000-2012: Un análisis a través del índice Herfindahl Hirschmann
2016
Este documento tuvo como objetivo analizar la evolución de la oferta exportadora de Santander entre el año 2000 y 2012, revisando los patrones de concentración o diversificación. Para ello utilizó como metodología el cálculo del índice de Herfindahl-Hirschmann. Los hallazgos encontrados establecen que la oferta exportable se ha concentrado por lo que las políticas diseñadas para promover la diversificación de producto no han tenido los efectos esperados y es necesario el diseño de nuevos lineamientos para tal fin.
