Book Description
Risk management practices are growing both in number and complexity in businesses, notably driven by new regulatory standards that feature risk management at their core. Although large businesses are more likely to adopt a formal, holistic approach to risk management, the stakes are just as high for SMEs. Risk management in SMEs can contribute to a certain organizational, entrepreneurial and partnership dynamic which constitutes a real opportunity to evolve practices and improve performance. This book offers varied responses to this question by combining conceptual approaches, empirical illustrations and the associated managerial implications.

Book Description
Le développement de nouveaux instruments financiers et la prise de conscience par les agents économiques des enjeux sont les deux évolutions majeures qui ont marqué la gestion des risques d’entreprise ces dernières années. Un double mouvement de financiarisation se produit dans cet environnement, celui des modes de transfert des risques et celui de la gouvernance. Dans ce contexte, le management des risques devient une source de création de valeur pour l'entreprise. Véritable panorama de ces évolutions et de leurs impacts sur la gestion des organisations, cet ouvrage présente successivement l'historique du management des risques d'entreprise, les processus mis en œuvre, les outils utilisés et enfin le rôle des principales fonctions de l'entreprise et leur contribution à la création de valeur par la gestion des risques.

Book Description
Le management par les valeurs est l’art d’assurer les dynamiques humaines de l’entreprise en développant une puissance collective bien supérieure à l’addition des seules capacités individuelles. La question des valeurs est associée à la mise en perspective, en prospective et en projets, ainsi qu’à l’engagement de processus et stratégies. Le management par les valeurs expose les gains que peuvent obtenir les organisations quand les valeurs qui fondent une éthique collective sont incorporées à la recherche de la valeur (profit). Il présente les différentes approches managériales de la valeur. Ensuite, la transition entre création de valeur et valeurs éthiques est examinée par le prisme du développement durable et de la responsabilité sociale des organisations. Enfin, la mise en œuvre d’un management par les valeurs est proposée au travers de nouvelles modalités de gouvernance.

Book Description
This title explores the issue of innovation engineering, a feature that is essential to the continuation of growth and development in the commercial world. Discussion is divided into three parts: Part I covers the historical basis of innovation, noting that diversity rests upon a duality between concepts in theory and applications put into practice, as well as discussing how innovation has resulted from the interaction of numerous factors, be they societal, human, managerial, organization or technological. Part II focuses on practical applications – the technologies, tools and methods employed in putting theoretical innovation into practice – while Part III looks at what factors underpin success, discussing the social and psychological aspects involved in successful innovation engineering. Consideration is also given to recent developments and systems which will assist in ensuring the continuation of this process in the future.

Book Description
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is simply the maximization of a companys value over time, undertaken because, in the long run, social and environmental problems ultimately become financial problems. The justification for CSR is therefore associated with representing the nature and role of the company, as well as its purpose. Companies therefore regard CSR as a strategic investment that is part of a proactive, resilient, inclusive approach, based on the creation of shared value. This approach is capable of reducing negative societal impacts of their activities, or inducing positive impacts if they sustain a hybrid culture, all the while improving their competitive advantage. This book presents a theoretical development that analyzes the challenges of CSR strategies based on the creation of shared value. Two case studies are presented, analyzing the different forms of social innovation strategies capable of inducing this shared value creation.

Book Description
Embrassant le défi de la compréhension de l'islam en contexte autour de l'altérité et des normes, l'ouvrage est original à trois égards. Tout d'abord, par son approche trans-historique, où passés et présents sont intimement inter-reliés, éclairant des phénomènes contemporains à travers leurs enracinement et genèse historiques et en mettant en évidence des phénomènes passés dans la perspective, voire la prospective, d'enjeux contemporains. Ensuite, par son approche trans-religieuse et trans-civilisationnelle (en l'occurrence islamo-chrétienne) dans plusieurs chapitres, pour aborder l'islam, dans ses rapports avec les minorités et en tant que minorité lui-même en contexte européen, et, de manière comparée, avec le christianisme: une approche permettant par « expérience-miroir » de contextualiser l'islam, souvent prisonnier de prismes essentialisants. Enfin, l'ouvrage apporte, dans une perspective pluri- et inter-disciplinaire, un état des lieux de l'apport des diverses disciplines qui l'embrassent, à la pointe des connaissances des sciences humaines et sociales de 21e siècle.
