Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management ENTREPRENEURIAT ; ENTREPRISE FAMILIALE ; IMMIGRATION ; MANAGEMENT Résumé : The most conservative estimate puts the proportion of all worldwide business enterprises owned or managed by families at 65% and many make it more. The importance of family businesses to the economies of both developed and developing countries cannot be ignored.In Enterprise, Ethnicity and Family Dynamics, the authors explain that family businesses constitute some of the most unique, complex, and dynamic systems in modern society. The blending of the performance-based world of business and the emotion-based domain of the family - creates a system potentially fraught with confusion and conflict. Additionally, it is now becoming clear there has been a significant rise in the numbers of immigrant family businesses, adding a further level of complexity to this mix. This book is partly a response to the authors' perception that most research into immigrant family businesses has been based on a traditional, limited view of entrepreneurship that largely ignores the ethnic and family contexts that create the culture from which entrepreneurship emerges, making it impossible to understand the complex and interdependent relationships between an owning family, its firm, its governance and the community context in which the firm operates. Adendorff and Halkias emphasise that family firms possess features that make their governance a particularly challenging task. They depict a complex stakeholder structure in which the ownership stakes are often passed from one generation to the next. The owning family's members usually play multiple roles, thereby blurring governance relationships. During decision making, emotional attachments may detract from the firm's focus on economic goals. Thus, a typical family firm violates almost all of the underlying assumptions of traditional governance theories. This important book begins to explore the relationship between ethnic cultural influence in family businesses and its impact on corporate governance - and thus ultimately on its survival and its contribution to national economies worldwide. Firstly, it addresses the intertwined influences of contractual (formal control), relational (social control) and cultural (ethnic values) governance mechanisms. Secondly, it sets out a comprehensive theoretical model which clarifies the complexities involved in terms of business planning, family harmony, and ethnic cultural variables. Finally, the authors specifically identify the implications for research, education, and practice. Application of the model presented here will be of particular value to policy makers, consultants, and business researchers and educators.

Titre : e-Negotiations : networking and cross-cultural business transactions Type de document : Livre Auteurs : Nicholas HARKIOLAKIS, Auteur ; Daphne HALKIAS, Auteur ; Sam ABADIR, Auteur Editeur : Farnham : GOWER Année de publication : 2012 Importance : XII ; 228 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4094-0196-4 Prix : 77 EUR Note générale : Bibliogr. p.215-222. Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management NEGOCIATION COMMERCIALE ; COMMUNICATION ; COMMERCE ELECTRONIQUE Résumé : In recent years, globalization, the telecommunications boom and the ever increasing need for today's professionals to conduct cross-cultural business transactions has led to a new way of negotiating, bargaining, and resolving disputes. Here, Dr Harkiolakis and his colleagues compare and contrast e-negotiation as it is in the 21st century with traditional face-to-face negotiation. Informative case studies illustrate how cross-cultural negotiations can be managed through modern channels of social influence and information-sharing and shed light on the critical social, cognitive and behavioural role of the negotiator in resolving on line, cross-cultural, conflicts and disputes, and generally in bargaining and negotiation.

Entrepreneurship and Sustainability / Daphne HALKIAS / Farnham : GOWER (2012)  

Titre : Entrepreneurship and Sustainability : Business Solutions for Poverty Alleviation from Around the World Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Daphne HALKIAS, Éditeur scientifique ; Paul W. THURMAN, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Farnham : GOWER Année de publication : 2012 Importance : XXVI; 244 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4094-2874-9 Note générale : Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés candidats : SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT  DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE  DEVELOPPEMENT DURABLE  SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP  EMPRENDIMIENTO SOCIAL  ENTREPRENEURIAT SOCIAL Résumé : In "Entrepreneurship and Sustainability" the editors and contributors challenge the notion that not-for-profit social entrepreneurship is the only sort that can lead to the alleviation of poverty. Entrepreneurship for profit is not just about the entrepreneur doing well. Entrepreneurs worldwide are leading successful for - profit ventures which contribute to poverty alleviation in their communities. With the challenge of global poverty before them, entrepreneurs continue to develop innovative, business-oriented ventures that deliver promising solutions to this complex and urgent agenda. This book explores how best to bring commercial investors together with those who are best placed to reach the poorest customers. With case studies from around the World, the focus of the contributions is on the new breed of entrepreneurs who are blending a profit motive with a desire to make a difference in their communities and beyond borders. A number of the contributions here also recognize that whilst much research has been devoted to poverty alleviation in developing countries, this is only part of the story. Studies in this volume also focus upon enterprise solutions to poverty in pockets of significant deprivation in high-income countries, such as the Appalachia region of the US, in parts of Europe, and the richer Asian countries. Much has been written about the achievements of socially orientated non-profit microfinance institutions. This valuable, academically rigorous but accessible book will help academics, policy makers, and business people consider what the next generation of more commercially orientated banks for the 'bottom billion' might look like.
