Giddens’ Structuration Theory seeks to explain how social structures are created and maintained through the actions, practices, and interactions of individuals.
According to Giddens, social structures are not merely external forces that influence human behavior; they are constantly reproduced and modified through individual actions.

From Daughter to Successor: Building Legitimacy in the Family Business

The existing literature on the legitimacy of daughters in the succession process of family businesses tends to separate the analysis between, on the one hand, the role of successor daughters and, on the other hand, the networks that activate and validate their legitimacy. This separation sustains a dualism in the conceptualization of relationships between successor daughters and the various stakeholders. This study addresses this gap by drawing on Strong Structuration Theory and the analysis of five cases of successor daughters. The results highlight that the social legitimacy of successor daughters in family businesses is the result of a continuous interaction between individual agency and social structures, within a logic of duality. It proposes a conceptualization of legitimacy as a dynamic process of social co-construction. The study reveals the interdependence between personal legitimacy and entrepreneurial legitimacy, which mutually reinforce each other through intertwined structuration cycles. This articulation contributes to the progressive co-construction of social legitimacy, emphasizing its evolving and adaptive nature.

What is social marketing?

Social marketing is an approach that leverages marketing techniques to encourage behaviors that have a positive impact on society. Unlike traditional marketing, which primarily aims to maximize sales, social marketing seeks to address issues such as public health, the environment, and human rights. It relies on a deep understanding of the needs and obstacles of the target audience, as well as strategic partnerships. For example, campaigns might encourage people to reduce their plastic consumption or engage in regular physical activity. To succeed, it's not just about communication; it's also about making desired behaviors more accessible, more appealing, and less expensive. By integrating these elements, social marketing contributes to improving collective well-being.

What are pro-environmental behaviors?

Pro-environmental behaviors refer to actions aimed at reducing human impact on the environment, whether individual (such as recycling or adopting eco-responsible consumption) or collective (advocating for climate policies). Historically linked to the environmental awareness of the 1970s, these behaviors are now crucial in the face of the climate emergency. However, they encounter psychological, economic, and practical obstacles. To encourage them, it is essential that public and private actors make these ecological actions more accessible and socially valued. These behaviors, while indispensable, must be integrated into collective and systemic initiatives for a sustainable transition.

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.

Entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway

This research compares student entrepreneurial ecosystems in France and Norway, focusing on how students access support, resources, and networks. In France, the system is centralized, driven by key actors like Student Hubs for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship, called PEPITE. In Norway, it is open and collaborative, with strong student associations and community ties. Using interviews and social network analysis, I explored the access and the circulation of information among actors in student entrepreneurial ecosystems. The results reveal different paths to innovation shaped by culture, policy, and education. Supporting student entrepreneurship is not just about funding or training. It’s about building inclusive ecosystems where students, mentors, and institutions work together.
