Business intelligence requirements in small sized enterprises
2016
Pienet ja keskisuuret yritykset keräävät nykyisin suuren määrän tietoa ja ovat kiinnostuneet Business Intelligencestä (BI), liiketoimintatiedon hallinnasta, pärjätäkseen kilpailussa liiketoimintaympäristössä. PK-yritykset ovat merkittäviä paikallisessa, kansallisessa ja jopa globaalissa mittakaavassa, sillä ne muodostavat ison osan taloudesta. Siitä huolimatta on tutkittu hyvin vähän sitä, minkälaisia vaatimuksia ja tarpeita näillä yrityksillä on BI:tä kohtaan. Tämän Pro gradu -tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää näitä vaatimuksia kvalitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa teema- ja puolistrukturoidulla haastatteluilla. Yhdistävä tekijä BI-termistössä ja näkökulmissa on, se että kaikissa määrityksiss…
Environmental Management Systems (Ems) - Control Instrument of the Impact of the Organization Activities on the Environment
2015
Abstract Due to the ability to create and use technology, the human being has found various ways to transform the resources of the Earth in all sorts of new materials, equipment and energy sources. At least since the last industrial revolution until now, each generation has added more technology to the received legacy, but at the same time, left the planet in a far more degraded state than the inherited condition. Within these changes, small and medium enterprises (SME) in their capacity as pillars of the economic development of a nation, have been compelled to change their previous strategies. Implementing an Environmental Management Systems (EMS) can be seen as the only way to connect the…
Les déterminants de la complexité des systèmes d’information comptables des dirigeants de PME : contingences culturelles et endogénéité
2018
Le premier objectif est d’étudier le lien entre les dimensions de la culture nationale et la complexité des systèmes d’information comptables (SIC) des dirigeants de PME. Le second est de contribuer au débat sur la présence potentielle de biais d’endogénéité dans les précédentes études réalisées sur le thème. Une régression multiple et un test d’Hausman ont été mobilisés en utilisant les réponses de 276 dirigeants de PME françaises, tunisiennes et syriennes. Les quatre dimensions de la culture proposées par Hofstede sont des déterminants significatifs de la complexité des SIC. Le test d’Hausman révèle que l’existence d’endogénéité est peu plausible.
La collaboration avec la recherche universitaire vue de l’entreprise. Quelques résultats d’enquêtes dans les secteurs des technologies optoélectroniq…
2011
Analysant les caractéristiques de la demande de connaissances externes des entreprises en fonction de leurs régimes d’innovation, l’article s’intéresse plus particulièrement au rôle donné à la recherche universitaire dans les stratégies d’innovation des entreprises. Les résultats tirés d'enquêtes auprès d’entreprises britanniques et françaises, développant des composants optoélectroniques, mettent en évidence l’existence de deux catégories de recherche : la R-D sur financement propre qui est liée aux objectifs à court terme, et la R-D à moyen et long terme qui dépend du financement externe. La participation de la recherche universitaire à la recherche à court terme de l’entreprise prend la …
Déterminants de la viabilité financière des PME
2020
To be interested in the survival of SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) is to question their ability to create rent and therefore their financial viability. Our panel study on French SMEs, between 2000 and 2018, shows that several factors play a different role in the annuity creation process. If the effectiveness of state governance seems to play a negative role, through the policies put in place, it turns out that debt plays a positive role in the wealth creation process of SME. Given the nature of the goods or service activities, the impact of suppliers and customers is different. In any case, SME in France suffer from a problem of generation renewal and transmission of knowledge whi…
Contributions Regarding the Utilization of Neural Networks in SME's Management
2014
Due to the fact that there isnt a clear definition of the terms neural network" and "neuronal network" [1,2], the current paper aims to establish it by a range of comparative research. With the help of some charts, based on the structure of some SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), the parts that define the structure of the neuron will be compared with the general structure of an organization, in order to reproduce the neuron in the structuring level of an organization and give a meaning to the term of "organizational neuron. Sometimes it is necessary to take managerial decisions under uncertainty and / or risk, so any method that gives forecasting information to the manager is welcome [3,4…

For that, the article analyses briefly the literatures on SE and leakage, and focuses on the relevance of SME and social entrepreneurs as promoters of SV creation and development. Second, the paper proposes a framework and proposes a set of 20 policies aimed to reduce leakage, reinforce SMEs and entrepreneurship…
Order allocation in a multiple suppliers-manufacturers environment within a dynamic cluster
2015
This study faces the problem of how to evaluate order allocation strategies in a multiple suppliers-manufacturers environment within a dynamic industry cluster that is an environment in which suppliers adopt a policy based on their performance to select the clusters in which to operate. Therefore, the allocation strategy performed by the manufacturers is crucial to keep a long-term supply chain partnership with a specific industry cluster. We use simulation to evaluate order allocation strategies under different market conditions. We show how an allocation strategy that takes into account the whole supply chain’s perspective leads to a sustainable development of the clusters of suppliers.
Adoption of Green Environmental Practices in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: Entrepreneur and Business Policies Patterns in Romania
2021
Current research shows that SMEs’ social and environmental actions are fragmented and informal, and few have formal policies and intentions. At the same time, many SMEs are engaged with environmental policies, often not knowing it. Concurrently, there is a gap between the pro-environmental attitudes of the SMEs managers, who are often seen as the main drivers for the firm’s behavior, and the policies implemented in reality in their firms. To this end, our research’s objective is to explore pro-environmental behavior, both at the individual and firm level, to identify connections between these levels and measures but also with firm’s and managers’ demographics, based on a study of Romanian S…
