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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
