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.

Women in family business boards: impact and legacy

The benefit of gender diversity on the corporate boards of family firms (FFs) continues to receive growing interest. In this paper, we examine the goals of women who hold a position on the board of directors at FFs. Goal setting has been used to identify what they want to accomplish here. How do they make a difference? This question is answered through the theoretical lens of socio- emotional wealth (SEW) and goal setting. We contribute to the literature supporting gender-diverse board composition, emphasizing the goals associated with women on FF boards, and highlighting their role in family business succession. Drawing on SEW and goal setting theory, this study examines how women’s goals influence succession. Driven by the research question, our data bring together three categories of goals pursued by women in the boardroom.

What is the Initial Coin Offering?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a modern fundraising method for start-ups, similar to crowdfunding but using digital tokens instead of traditional cash or rewards. Investors purchase these tokens, which they can later use to buy the product or resell for potential profit. ICOs provide entrepreneurs with a global financing opportunity while offering investors early access to innovative projects. Overall, ICOs connect entrepreneurship, finance, and blockchain technology, making them a revolutionary tool for start-up funding.
