Book Description
Dans les débats d’aujourd’hui sur la recherche d’une croissance durable de l’économie, le développement et la diffusion des hautes technologies sont reconnus comme des éléments décisifs. Il s’agit de trouver les moyens et l’organisation pertinents pour mettre en œuvre les découvertes et les applications scientifiques les plus récentes et assurer le renouveau du tissu économique et social. La conception de produits et de services dans ces domaines, la création et l’essor d’entreprises petites et grandes, le soutien ou les commandes que peuvent leur apporter les différents pouvoirs publics, le rôle des universités et de la recherche, leur impact sur l’environnement, les changements de la société civile et de l’opinion à leur égard sont devenus des enjeux majeurs. Outre la croissance, il y va de la souveraineté, de l’indépendance nationale et de la capacité d’alliance et de coopération des nations. Ce livre est le premier ouvrage d’ensemble qui, loin de se limiter à un secteur, aborde leur histoire parallèle aux États-Unis et en France depuis 1945, deux pays aussi différents par leurs atouts et leur culture que liés par leur histoire et la géopolitique. Il aborde la question de l’hégémonie américaine vis-à-vis des Européens et celle des voies qui s’offrent à eux dans ce contexte, seuls ou ensemble. Il ne se contente pas, en effet, d’une approche nationale : il traite du niveau local et régional comme de la place de l’Europe et du rôle des organismes internationaux. Une première partie analyse les réussites mais aussi quelques échecs du pilotage par l’État de secteurs pionniers. Une deuxième partie concerne spécifiquement les ressources stratégiques et les enjeux militaires. Une troisième partie aborde l’écologie des entreprises de haute technologie et de leurs produits : accès aux technologies, financements, demande, marchés. Une quatrième partie étudie comment, pour faire face au double défi de la concurrence et de la coopération, ont été trouvées des articulations entre les logiques territoriales régionale, nationale et européenne qui sont devenues des bases d’une innovation soutenue dans les hautes technologies. Une table ronde entre acteurs du temps présent fait des comparaisons à l’échelle du monde, débat des forces et des faiblesses françaises en la matière, et s’interroge sur les politiques publiques possibles aux échelles nationale et européenne. Ce livre associe historiens, sociologues, géographes et politistes étrangers et français à des témoignages d’acteurs français importants des secteurs privé et public.

Book Description
Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? builds on strategic management and innovation management academic contributions to better understand theoretical and empirical challenges of business ecosystems. Even if the concept of business ecosystem was coined in 1993, it will lie fallow during more than ten years before gaining scholars’ interest. Managers will however recognize the relevance of this concept as it grasps the complexity of their business reality in terms of new collaborative and innovative strategies. Thus, the main purpose of this book is twofold. On the one hand, the objective is to identify the epistemological and theoretical fundamentals of business ecosystems, and on the other hand, the purpose is to analyse the various managerial challenges. This volume analyses in particular the issues of knowledge management, coopetition strategies, platforms, governance, etc. Understanding Business Ecosystems: How Firms Succeed in the New World of Convergence? is finally a key reference book that innovates by integrating for the first time well known French speaking scholars’ contributions from the strategy and innovation management fields.

Book Description
This book provides a thorough discussion about fundamental questions regarding urban theories and modeling. It is a curated collection of contributions to a workshop held in Paris on October 12th and 13th 2017 at the Institute of Complex Systems by the team of ERC GeoDiverCity. There are several chapters conveying the answers given by single authors to problems of conceptualization and modeling and others in which scholars reply to their conception and question them. Even, the chapters transcribing keynote presentations were rewritten according to contributions from the respective discussions. The result is a complete “state of the art” of what is our knowledge about urban processes and their possible formalization.

Book Description
In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.

Book Description
This volume in the highly respected Cambridge History of Science series is devoted to exploring the history of modern science using national, transnational, and global frames of reference. Organized by topic and culture, its essays by distinguished scholars offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date nondisciplinary history of modern science currently available. Essays are grouped together in separate sections that represent larger regions: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, East and Southeast Asia, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, and Latin America. Each of these regional groupings ends with a separate essay reflecting on the analysis in the preceding chapters. Intended to provide a balanced and inclusive treatment of the modern world, contributors analyze the history of science not only in local, national, and regional contexts but also with respect to the circulation of knowledge, tools, methods, people, and artifacts across national borders.

Book Description
This book investigates the functioning and ecosystems of biorefineries and assesses the potential of the industrial bioeconomy. The authors present a case study of the biorefinery at Bazancourt Pomacle, near Reims, France, as an outstanding illustration of the creation, work processes, financing, provision of environmental services, competitive benefits and future prospects of a bioeconomy. Analysing the case of Bazancourt Pomacle, the authors show the wide range of products produced by integrated biorefineries such as food, bioenergy, molecules for cosmetics and nutrients for agricultural use. They also analyse Bazancourt Pomacle as an open innovation platform, which encompasses several layers of R&D, including three department chairs from leading engineering and business schools in France. Illustrating a number of global success stories that started in Bazancourt Pomacle, the authors also investigate the provision of pilot- and demonstration plants as inescapable steps in the scaling-up process from the lab to industrial scale. The book provides a systematic overview of the lessons learned, as well as data on an industrial bioeconomy. Investors, decision- makers, public-policy shapers, analysts and scholars will learn about the history, actors, economics, industrial symbiosis, role of cooperatives, R&D and future prospects of a world-class biorefinery and bio-based cluster in Europe.

Book Description
France is a Pacific power, with three territories, a military presence, and extensive investments. Once seen by many as a colonial interloper in the South Pacific, by the early 2000s, after it ended nuclear testing in French Polynesia and negotiated transitional Accords responding to independence demands in New Caledonia, France seems to have become generally accepted as a regional partner, even if its efforts concentrate on its own territories rather than the independent island states. But Frances future in the region has yet to be secured. By 2014 it is to have handed over a set of agreed autonomies to the New Caledonian government, before an independence referendum process begins. Past experience suggests that a final resolution of the status of New Caledonia will be divisive and could lead once again to violent confrontations. In French Polynesia, calls continue for independence and for treatment under UN decolonisation procedures, which France opposes. Other island leaders are watching, so far putting faith in the Noumea Accord, but wary of the final stages. The issues and possible solutions are more complex than the French Pacific island population of 515,000 would suggest. Combining historical background with political and economic analysis, this comprehensive study offers vital insight into the intricate history -- and problematic future -- of several of Australias key neighbours in the Pacific and to the priorities and options of the European country that still rules them. It is aimed at policy-makers, scholars, journalists, businesspeople, and others who want to familiarise themselves with the issues as Frances role in the region is redefined in the years to come.
