Based on the results of a conceptual study published in the journal ‘Business Strategy and the Environment’, this video considers the potential of the concept of syncretism to understand how companies are moving towards more sustainable management practices. Syncretism has mainly been treated in the literature as a process of religious synthesis or cultural change. It involves the production of new or modified religions/cultures as a result of contact between distinct ‘ideologies’. Exploring the analogies between religious/cultural syncretism and the challenge of corporate sustainability suggests that a syncretism-based perspective may be more practical and useful than conventional approaches combining corporate performance with sustainability – these have rarely challenged the dominant ‘win-win’ logic.

What is Strategic Renewal?

In times of crisis, SME entrepreneurs update and replace the firm’s resources and capabilities within strategic renewal processes in order to maintain organizational resilience. Appearing in the form of internal development and external sourcing, the outcomes of strategic renewal are explained by the synergy of individual, organizational, and environmental factors that reinforce SMEs’ dynamic capabilities. This research presents a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of the conjunctural causality between multi-level dynamic capability configurations and SME strategic renewal outcomes.

What is the option in finance?

An option is the right to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying asset at a predetermined expiration date and price, known as the strike price. The underlying asset can be a commodity, currency, interest rate, stock, or bond. The expiration date is the date on which the option is exercised. Options can be used as hedging tools or to speculate on whether the price of an underlying asset will rise or fall.

Innovation Pays Off—Especially with University Partners

Cette étude analyse 2 986 entreprises d’Amérique latine (2009–2017, base LAIS) pour comprendre comment les collaborations universités–entreprises influencent le lien entre dépenses d’innovation et résultats d’innovation. Les résultats montrent (1) une relation positive entre dépenses et résultats, et (2) un effet modérateur significatif de la collaboration universitaire : à budget équivalent, les entreprises partenaires des universités obtiennent davantage d’innovations. La qualité des partenariats compte autant que leur existence. Implications : structurer la coopération (objectifs, IP), investir dans le capital humain, et mobiliser les ressources académiques comme amplificateurs de capacité.

Beyond Tech Transfer: How University Collaborations Turn R&D into Results

Les entreprises investissent massivement en R&D, mais l’impact reste parfois inégal. Travailler avec les universités aide à passer des idées aux solutions utiles—non seulement via les brevets ou les équipements, mais grâce à la dimension humaine des connaissances. Un langage partagé, des routines simples et un apprentissage conjoint alignent les équipes et évitent les retours en arrière. En co-concevant le cahier des charges, en libérant un peu de temps aux chercheurs et en s’appuyant sur un soutien juridique et de gestion de projet solide, la collaboration avance mieux. Le prestige peut ouvrir la première porte, mais la valeur naît du travail quotidien ensemble : adoption plus rapide, processus améliorés, compétences qui restent dans l’entreprise. Quand les universités reconnaissent et valorisent ces résultats, les partenariats se renforcent. En bref : investir dans la relation qui porte le savoir-faire sécurise et améliore le rendement de la R&D.

Italy’s Waste Crisis: How the Mafia Turned Trash into Tragedy

Pendant plus de 40 ans, une mauvaise gestion des déchets en Italie a permis à la Mafia de les éliminer illégalement, provoquant une crise sanitaire majeure et des taux de cancer en hausse. Malgré les interventions tardives de l’État, les choix économiques ont souvent prévalu sur la protection de l’environnement et des populations. Cette crise révèle que la gestion des déchets est avant tout une question de pouvoir et de justice sociale, touchant de manière inégale les communautés.

Human artificial intelligence at the service of hyperperformance

Artificial intelligence is already transforming lives and organizations. It brings a huge potential, for example, to achieve hyper-performance. Which is not about adding more trainings. But rather finding and removing obstacles from human minds. And artificial intelligence can facilitate that efficiently. It can help us to learn more about our own intelligence. Thus, giving us a unique chance to finally re-unite both intelligences.

What is Hyper-Performance?

It is a state of performance when all unnecessary human thought is minimized or completely suppressed. Such as bad judgments, distracting thoughts, subjective biases, bad decisions, etc. For example, employees may be reluctant to accept artificial intelligence. That means there’s something in their mind that stops them. That something is the root cause.
