Entrepreneurs (novices vs. experts) and investors: Interaction and rationality dynamics (effectual vs. causal)
2019
The paper studies the mechanisms that govern the interactions between the entrepreneur (novice or expert) and the specific investors of emerging firms (business angels (BAs) and venture-capital firms (VCs)). Combining both literatures on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance, our aim is to understand if the rationalities of these three actors help them or not to interact, and, to study how they influence each other during the firm's growth. In order to do so, we undertake two processual case studies. Our results show that effectual rationality underlines the interaction between the entrepreneur and the BAs at the creation of the firm, whilst causal rationality is helpful in the searc…

Éthique, marché et gouvernance : espace discrétionnaire et responsabilité sociale des grandes entreprises
2007
The competition imperfection and the market inefficiency introduce a discretionary space in the decision process inside bigfirms. Incentive theories, dedicated to the mechanisms used to align the top executives' interests with the shareholders' interests, try to control this discretionary space for the benefit of the market value maximization. An approach oriented toward the stakeholders can move the focus to the positive effects of this discretionary space by opening it to the ethic values. Today, these ethic values seem to apply in two complementary aspects: the transparency in the reporting of accounts, acts and decisions, and the social responsibility toward all the stakeholders.

How strategic needs influence alliance formation and their governance modes: An empirical study in the Italian biopharmaceutical industry
2011
Firms enter strategic alliances for various reasons, and the motives behind formation of these alliances are one of main research subjects in the management field. The large literature on the issue has highlighted how alliances answer to a strategic need for collaboration that is the need to improve competitive strength through collaboration agreements. However, the study here addresses the strategic need perspective to alliances under a more specific point of view. We question what kind of competitive strengths firms aim at acquiring through inter-firm relationships. By reviewing of the most relevant literature on the issue we assume that alliances respond to three principal strategic need…
La laguna opaca. Gestión y gobernanza del agua en l’Albufera de València (España)
2019
International audience; The Albufera de Valencia is a complex anthropogenic waterscape, constructed by different social groups over centuries. Today water management in the protected wetland remains opaque, much like the water in the eutrophic lagoon. Four major organiza-tions manage this natural heritage, which remains torn between nature conservation and rice growing, in a jigsaw of overlap-ping jurisdictions and crisscrossed visions. Water management in this socioecological-system is complex and contested, and takes place within a changing scenario due to recent variations in the water quality and quantity budgets. This paper analyses this changing socio-ecological system based on interv…
Does oral health affect food comfortability and bolus properties during consumption of dairy products in elderly population?
2017
The elderly population is growing increasingly. In 2030, 1/3 of the population will be over 60 years old. However this population has specific nutritional needs and often, oral impairments such as loss of tooth and/or decrease of salivary flow. Therefore it is necessary to develop foods adapted for the elderly, in terms of organoleptic properties and nutritional composition. In this context, the purpose of this work is to study the impact of oral impairments of elderly persons on food comfortability and bolus properties during the consumption of dairy products.76 elderly persons (ages 66 to 88, 42 women and 34 men), with or without oral health problems in terms of dental and/or salivary sta…
La gratuité à un prix !
2008
National audience; Cet article aborde la question des représentations de la gratuité par les publics des musées et des monuments nationaux français. Dans le domaine culturel et dans une perspective individuelle, ces représentations sont liées à celles du prix, de l'argent et du fait de payer. La gratuité est vue comme un prix : elle supprime le coût monétaire lié à la visite mais ne change rien aux autres coûts monétaires et non monétaires dont elle modifie cependant la perception. Elle annule ce que représente le fait de payer l'entrée : visa » d'entrée dans les musées et les monuments, distance créée entre le visiteur et ces lieux, formalisation de l'engagement du visiteur. Enfin, la grat…
