Open data and competitive intelligence
New resources, new uses, new challenges
The open data movement, which emerged in the USA and the UK in 2009, refers to an organization’s making some of its data (transport, weather, health, public markets, etc.) accessible for reuse by businesses or the public. Beyond the initial challenges related to the transparency of public action, open data are an important source of information. In France, for example, the state makes its data available, start-ups are building innovative services based on open data and historical actors have opened their data to their ecosystem.

Foreign Language Teaching in Tertiary Education IV
Business and Foreign Languages
The economic crisis has led to high unemployment in Greece and in the European South in general and therefore many young people leave their country in order to work in businesses either in Europe or on other continents. This mobility however, if regarded as a factor that promotes the professional competitiveness of young people, enriching their knowledge and skills abroad and allowing them to transfer their interlingual and intercultural experience to other businesses or back to their country, leads us to the conclusion that the knowledge of one or more foreign languages is one of the pillars of young people’s creativity and adaptation in the workplace.

Leuven
Even if human scientists and business executives like to argue otherwise, the human sciences have always been in-corporated. Without them, the modern business corporation would simply have been unimaginable, just as the production and consumption of working bodies within these corporations. ‘The Firm’ continues to frame itself as a fundamental human enterprise, in which the prominence of human ressources and human relations only continues to increase, yet the humanities of the business corporation largely remain to be written.

Methods for synthesizing knowledge
Tools of Evidence-based policy
The Network of Researchers on Policy and Programme Evaluation of the French Evaluation Society is pleased to invite you to a free research seminar on: Methods for Synthesizing Knowledge, to beheld on December 10th 2012 at Paris-Dauphine University, Amphitheater 11. The promotion of evidence-based policy by an increasing number of national governments and international organisations has triggered the issues of gathering available evidence on the impact of public interventions, assessing its credibility, and providing policy-makers with knowledge syntheses. Two state-of-art methods have emerged up to date. The first approach builds on the tools of evidence based medicine: systematic review and meta-analysis. The second approach, called realist synthesis, is rooted in social sciences methodologies. This research seminar will present and discuss the available methods (see programme below).

Conference, symposium - History
Merchant accounting and profits in Europe and the Americas, 1650-1850
Comment opère l’échange marchand à l’« âge du commerce » (XVIIe – premier XIXe siècle) ? Comment comprendre la construction et le fonctionnement de l’activité commerciale, moteur de l’expansion coloniale européenne à travers l’Atlantique, et le reste du monde ? Ce colloque cherchera à explorer de nouveaux angles d’approches : penser le profit comme jugement qualitatif en lien avec le crédit et la réputation, les réseaux interpersonnels comme des stratégies d’accès au crédit et à la protection contre le risque, repérer les contraintes, économiques ou non économiques, et les discours qui les élucident, tenter de comprendre comment les échelles de qualité de produits sont articulées au cadre institutionnel de contrôle de qualité des États modernes, en dépit de l’apparente imprécision des mots, cartographier enfin les choix stratégiques et tactiques à travers la confrontation de toutes les sources disponibles, des livres de comptes aux correspondances. -

Le marketing au service de la performance publique ?
Marketing Strategies for Public Performance
Le secteur public a pour finalité de produire un impact sur son environnement. La performance publique se situe donc à l'interface de l'organisation publique et de son environnement et ne peut être mesurée ou gérée sur la seule base de ses ressources et activités internes. Justement, le marketing, entendu de manière extensive (Kotler, 1969), est en charge de gérer les relations d'une organisation avec l'ensemble de ses partenaires extérieurs. L'incorporation des dispositifs marketing dans les systèmes de mesure de la performance publique semble donc inéluctable, pour le meilleur et pour le pire. L'objectif de ce numéro spécial est de réunir des recherche empiriques focalisées sur les modalités et les effets de la mise en œuvre des démarches marketing dans le secteur public.
