Books written or edited by Euromed Management's professors

Books are always an important contribution to the scientific body of knowledge and notably because our school is dedicated to the creation of an innovative vision of management.
They provide food for thought and are used in the development of the three research programmes offered at Euromed Management.




 















Walter Baets and Erna Oldenboom 
" Rethinking Growth Social Intrapreneurship for Sustainable Performance"
Palgrave Macmillan
 








Dr Walter Baets and Erna Oldenboom MPhil, both professors at Euromed Management, have just published “Rethinking Growth: Social Intrapreneurship for Sustainable Performance” with Palgrave Macmillan. This book is the first in a series on diversity, leadership and responsibility edited by Dr Baets.
This is a book for managers who wish to move away from a shareholder view towards a stakeholder view, and who have enough courage to turn management into responsible entrepreneurship. It is a hands on book for managers interested in the implementation of sustainable performance. The authors argue that “growth, social responsibility and sustainable development are deeply embedded”. Nowadays, social responsibility and the sustainable growth of the corporation are totally interrelated.
The book presents an original approach: although sustainability and responsibility themes are presented in a variety of publications, most of these books ignore the holistic and dynamic framework within which a manager can really attain an overall understanding of corporate growth and its possible alternatives. This book tackles these issues. Should we rethink growth? Is the abundance of the western world still ethical? Growth, social responsibility and sustainable development are indeed deeply entangled. This books aims to provide the reader with a transversal, holistic view on these issues, and a real understanding of corporate growth, along with its possible alternatives.


 

















Frédéric Le Roy and Saïd Yami
" Management Stratégique de la Concurrence " Eds. Dunod





Management Stratégique de la concurrence has just been published by Dunod. This book on managing the competition was coordinated by Dr Saïd Yami, Professor at Euromed Management with Frédéric Le Roy.




In general, strategic management manuals are based on competition theories which date back to Porter’s industrial analysis. However, over the past twenty years, competition models and analysis frameworks in the field have radically changed. The aim of this book is to inform scholars of these new concepts such as disruptive strategies, coopetition strategies, multipoint competition etc., thus enabling them to have a better understanding of major strategic decisions in the current changing contexts. In each chapter, the models are illustrated by case studies. This collective work gathers the contributions of recognised specialists from various French schools and universities.
Summary: Competing against rivals, Avoiding competitors, Cooperating with competitors, Knowing competitors, Organising competition.



 


 

















Auger P "Manager des Situations Complexes" Eds. Dunod  



Pascale Auger’s new book « Manager des Situations Complexes » (Managing Complex Situations) has just been published by Dunod.




This book deals with the questions of what competencies need to be developed for tomorrow’s companies.
How can complexity be integrated into the decision making process? How can we encourage creativity? How can we develop trust to make risk taking easier? The results of various management studies on complex situations are translated into managerial practices and case studies. After defining the notion of complexity the author proposes solution to directors, managers, project managers and students on how to reduce the gap between the timing of changes and the adaptation of decisions.




















Cova B, Giordano A & PalleraIl M "Marketing Non Convenzionale", Il Sole 24 Ore, Milan, 2008.  



Bernard Cova, professor of Marketing at Euromed Management has co-authored this book entitled « Marketing Non Convenzionale », published by Il Sole 24 Ore, Milan.







This book studies the principal non-conventional marketing techniques and identifies 10 key points on the passage from old to new marketing.
Expressions such as "word-of-mouth", "viral marketing", "guerrilla marketing", "ambient advertising", "tribal marketing", "buzz marketing", "future" or "edge" marketing have evolved from their status of definitions invented by eccentric North American gurus to being the subjects of scientific publications, seminars and specialist courses for marketing practitioners.
Marketing is going through changes in order to adapt to today’s fast changing society. A different scenario with alternative reference paradigms, a system in crisis (that of the mass media system which has permitted the development of major global brands) with a public of ex-consumers, competent and implicated in the content creation process. The tools, the theories and the marketing techniques in use up till now have proved to be inadapted in targeting these people who have become unreceptive to advertising messages.
A videography that can be played directly on mobile phone screens completes this book.




















Paranque B "Construire l’Euro-Méditerranée" Eds. L’Harmattan April 2008  



Professor Bernard Paranque’s* latest book “Construire l’Euro-Méditerranée has recently been published by l’Harmattan”



This book focuses on the Euro-Mediterranean, an area of civilization that presents many challenges and opportunities for developing solutions: the management of natural resources, the resolution of conflicts, the aspiration for economic growth and development. This book advocates the necessity to focus on understanding the risks and the ways of coordinating economic action, necessary to satisfy social needs.
This approach is qualified as being Euro-Mediterranean, due to the existence of a major societal issue, going beyond the operational aspect, which is the construction of the collective, sharable and shared meaning and understanding of this space. A democratic state is not possible without a shared project, and this project can neither be delegated nor based on a return to a past, testimony of a fear of the future.
* Bernard Paranque is Associate Dean for Research and Faculty and AG2R/Prémalliance Chair “Alternative Financing : Investment, Solidarities and Responsibility”.

Lovelock C, Wirtz J, Lapert D & Munos A "Marketing des services"
Eds Pearson Education May 2008





Annie Munos, dix ans de conseil en marketing des services, dix sept ans d’enseignement, docteur en gestion, titulaire d’une HDR, est professeur associé à Euromed depuis janvier 2003.



More than ever, the creation of value for companies comes from services. A dynamic sector of activity at the origin of three quarters of the wealth created in France, services are however very specific as well as being incredibly varied. Therefore the question is: how can we envisage and implement a marketing strategy that is both adapted and competitive?
Focusing on the problems of management and strategy marketing, this manual proposes a collection of concepts, analysis frameworks and specific methods for identifying and taking on the challenges with which services companies are confronted. This book is based on the most recent research and offers many practical illustrations.
