The Nonprofit Sector in France
Author: E. Archambault
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 9780719049040
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
This is the first book to reveal the extent to which nonprofit organisations, despite their invisibility in official statistics, have become one of the clearest expression of social and cultural change in France. Edith Archambault argues that the nonprofit organisations have a unique ability to marry private initiative with public cocerns and therefore become the most flexible partners of modern social policies.

The French Nonprofit Sector
Author: Laura Nirello
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004383077
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
This article deals with the literature on the French nonprofit sector (NPS). A preliminary part is devoted to presenting and discussing the characteristics that shape the approaches to this sector in France. We stress the strong influence of legal categories on the sector’s definition and, in this context, the importance of the status inherited from the 1901 Act on contracts of association. This raises a problem for a more analytical approach to the sector, because the diversity of the nonprofit organizations (NPOs) regulated under this Act risks being overshadowed. In this first part, we also underline the primacy accorded in France to the concept of the social economy, which has today become the social and solidarity economy (SSE), over that of the nonprofit sector. In the second part, the article outlines some landmarks in the history of the French NPS. French NPOs were for many years objects of suspicion, arbitrariness and repression on the part of the public authorities and this persisted until the 1901 legislation on contracts of association was enacted. However, this hostile context did not prevent the sector from having a richer existence than is sometimes admitted. This literature review also focuses on empirical studies of the sector, placing a particular emphasis on the more recent ones. These French studies basically adopt two types of approach. The first is concerned essentially with the NPOs and focuses its attention on their economic importance, whether measured in terms of financial resources, employment, or, less frequently, added value. The second approach investigates the kinds of individual participation the sector engenders by examining the various forms it takes, such as membership of NPOs or voluntary work. This review ends with the analysis of the challenges that NPS faces in a context characterized by the increasing constraints on public funding, changes in the nature of such funding with a substitution of contracts for subsidies, an increased competition among NPOs as well as between NPOs and for-profit enterprises. The article concludes that, despite the advances in research on the French NPS, some aspects—like formal volunteering and the role of voluntary associations—are still understudied, while others—like informal groups and informal volunteering—are almost totally ignored.

Entrepreneurship and Cluster Dynamics
Author: Cristina Boari
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317300017
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Entrepreneurship and Cluster Dynamics focuses on the origin and development of clusters and specifically on the role played by the strategic entrepreneurship in these contexts. Although separately entrepreneurship and cluster studies have already attracted the attention of academics and practitioners; this book aims to go further and offer an integrated and interactive view of topics. The cross-cutting approach is one of the main attributes of this book. In fact, the book involves a great range of organizational and economic perspectives, from social psychology to conventional applied economics disciplines. Moreover, these topics allow the use of different levels of analysis, from the individual entrepreneur behind a start-up to the structure of cluster networks, including the organizational levels. An analysis of the change and development of clusters going further than traditional functional approaches by examining how entrepreneurs and their actions are not only influenced by the cluster but also shape the cluster development, will offer an explanation of how entrepreneurship and networking entrepreneurs can foster, perhaps also inhibit, cluster development and change. Finally Entrepreneurship and Cluster Dynamics theorizes about the role of the strategic entrepreneurship in developing start-ups inside already established companies, which can play the role of broker in the cluster. Entrepreneurship and Cluster Dynamics offers a unique opportunity to academics, researchers, and students to learn about relations and interactions between entrepreneurship and cluster perspectives, providing both newly and original theoretical propositions and also rigorous conclusive empirical exercises.

Droit de la finance alternative
Author: Jean-Marc Moulin
Publisher: Bruylant
ISBN: 2802758772
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
La finance est en crise ; mais elle est indispensable à la vie des hommes en société. Cependant, il serait abusif de considérer "la finance" comme un tout homogène. En effet, loin de la finance conventionnelle qui fait la une de l'actualité, il existe une finance dite alternative qui tente de placer et de maintenir l'Homme au centre de son projet et à l'horizon de son ambition. Cet ouvrage, premier du genre, se propose de présenter sous forme d'études réalisées par des spécialistes du droit financier, les manifestations de cette finance alternative, les outils, instruments et techniques juridiques qui existent et qui permettent de concilier finance et humanisme. À travers l'analyse des critères de développement durable ou religieux appliqués à la finance, des monnaies alternatives, du microcrédit, de la notation extra-financière, du mutualisme et du coopératisme en finance, du crowdfunding, des fonds éthiques, du financement associatif, du financement alternatif de l'habitat ou du soutien des collectivités publiques aux entreprises, ce livre fait, en France comme en Espagne, au Royaume-Uni, en Grèce et au Canada, un tour d'horizon complet de ce segment du secteur financier souvent méconnu et qui offre néanmoins aux Hommes de réaliser leurs projets dans la perspective d'un mieux-être collectif. Pour rompre avec l'idée que la finance n'est que spéculation et prédation.

Book Description
L'incursion croissante de l'association dans la sphere économiue est l'une des mutations contemporaines les plus significatives connues par le monde associatif.Le Phénomène a été et continue d'être accueilli avec une certaine réserve.Tout d'abord, c'est la liceité même de l'entreprise associative qui a été discutée.Ne procédait-elle pas d'une dénaturation de l'association? une réponse négative s'impose.L'association n'est pas la liberté d'association.La première n'est que le cadre de sa mise en oeuvre de la seconde.En effet, la loi de 1901 n'interdit pas à l'association la echerche de bénéfices. Elle prohibe uniquement le partage des bénéfices alors réalisés.L'associationpeut donc, a l'instar de la société,être un groupement à vocation économique.Les évolutions de droit positif le confirment.Toutefois, il faut s'accorder à reconnaitre que l'hostilité par l'entreprise associative n'en demeure pas moins vivace.La discussion s'est simplement déplaçée.On s'interroge plus volontiers sur le point de savoir si l'association peut satisfaire aux exigences de sécurité dictées par l'exercice d'une activité économique.Il lui est reproché de ne pas offrir les garanties organisationnelles et patrimoniales suffisantes.Cette critique doit être écartée car rendant compte d'une approche insatisfaisante du doit commun des groupements. Construite à partir de l'observation du droit des sociétés, elle est altérée par l'immixtion au sein de cette matière de considérations propres à l'entreprise.Or l'entreprise et le groupement personnifiable ne suaraient être confondus.
