The present thesis investigates the nature of relationship between the employee stock ownership and the wealth creation, in the framework of the shareholder governance and the stakeholder governance.

Stakeholder Engagement for a Sustainable Development of Business Models
2019
Stakeholders play a relevant role in sustainable business models’ definitions, but their influence on a company’s strategic choices varies according to different factors. The heterogeneity of business models and the different approaches used to achieve the goal of sustainability, in which social or environmental purposes can prevail, require more in-depth research to identify new solutions that can help to develop business models able to create positive external effects for the environment and society.
Stakeholder Engagement and Sustainability

This book develops insight for the management of businesses operating in various sectors of economic activity that take, or wish to adopt, a proactive approach to the triple dimensions of sustainability (economic, social and environmental), suggesting itself to support both academics and practitioners in the wide area of business management.

Innovation strategies geared toward the circular economy: A case study of the organic olive-oil industry
2018
Circular Economy (CE) focuses on the (re)design of processes and products aiming to minimize negative environmental impact, by reducing the use of non-renewable resources, increasing products durability, improving waste management and enhancing the market for secondary raw materials. In the management field very few contributions deal with the topic of CE as a model that firms can implement from a business model perspective. The aim of the present study is to describe, by using a case study in olive oil industry, how firms in practice adapt their business model towards CE paradigm and the influence of personal drivers and stakeholders in this adaptation. The findings reveal that circular ec…
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…
WHERE DOES CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY STAND IN RELATION TO SUSTAINABILITY?
2018
The business competitive landscape of today is shaped by new challenges. In order to outperform their peers, companies seek to seize opportunities and manage the risks associated with the challenges that arise. To this adds the pressure of societies on organizations to be more transparent, ethical and responsible. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability come in response to this increasing demand of societies by being a pivotal tool in the business area. Organizations of the 21st century can no longer ignore CSR and sustainability and should follow the steps of integrating them across all departments as part of their strategic policy. Sustainable organizations are required t…
Le dialogue avec les parties prenantes dans l’exercice de la RSE : caractéristiques clés pour une prise de parole collective et effective
2021
National audience; Des appels à un changement radicale des modes de production accentuent la responsabilité sociale des entreprises. Cette notion de responsabilité longtemps affiliée à la satisfaction des seuls actionnaires est aujourd’hui tournée vers d’autres acteurs tout aussi exigeants, au-delà des frontières de l’entreprise. La responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise se traduit par une pression omniprésente qui contraint les entreprises à s’adapter. Cette adaptation passe par l’intégration des préoccupations liées à l’environnement, aux questions sociales et sociétales dans la conduite de leurs activités (Gond et ali., 2011 : 121). Elle passe aussi par la prise en compte de l’ensemble d…

The dynamics of inter-organizational networks are influenced by several internal and external factors, such as strategic cooperation with stakeholders, structural changes (such as an R&I policy …
Cyclic Dynamic Evaluation of Logistics Services Stakeholders Based on System with OFN Model
2021
The challenge for enterprises and supply chains is to deliver successful logistics services in compliance with their aims. Logistics services are affected by many stakeholders. Recognizing their impact on the undertaken services is important for the planning and execution of a sufficiently rigorous stakeholder management process. The aim of the paper is to present a new approach to the analysis of stakeholders - cyclic dynamic evaluation, which could be used in service management, such as in logistics services. We present a novel fuzzy inference system based on the mathematical apparatus of Ordered Fuzzy Numbers (OFNs). The evaluation of stakeholders consists in assessing key factors as - f…
