A travers 25 entretiens approfondis reprenant l’expérience des fondateurs-dirigeants et leur évaluation des facteurs contributifs à leur succès managérial sur les critères de Wilson, nous mettons en évidence des références constantes à la biologie évolutionniste qui permettent de mieux comprendre les éléments déterminants de socialisation et de gouvernance des start-ups de biotechnologie. Toutes les références des dirigeants créant des analogies entre biologie cellulaire et moléculaire et entreprise sont recensées pour proposer une interprétation de la firme comme un organisme vivant. Notre travail propose des pistes en matière de développement des organisations et de développement personnel issues de trois attributs sociobiologiques particulièrement explicites dans le milieu managérial : la cohésion, la connectivité et la démographie adaptive. L’échantillonnage restreint aux start-ups de biotechnologie ne permet pas d’inférer des généralisations à toutes les nouvelles entreprises, comme dans le secteur digital, mais permet de penser que les conduites managériales des fondateurs- dirigeants pourraient avoir des points communs. Les implications de nos résultats peuvent conduire à réexaminer les principes de constitution des équipes dirigeantes des start-ups pour obtenir une meilleure efficacité du leadership grâce à une socialisation efficace. Mots clés Sociobiologie ; socialisation ; biologie évolutionniste ; cohésion ; connectivité ; démographie adaptive ; leadership - 6 - Allary Claude| Thèse de doctorat | novembre 2018 Abstract The research aimed at testing the relevance of 10 attributes of social managerial behavior by founding Managing Directors of young biotech companies. These attributes are sourced from observation of social animals (Wilson, Sociobiology, 1975). With the help of 25 in-depth face-to-face interviews with CEO probing their managerial experience and evaluation of the relevance of Wilson’s criteria upon their success, we demonstrate the constant reference to evolutionary biology allowing a good understanding of successful leadership and governance of biotech start-ups. All references by CEO to analogies between cell and molecular biology and companies are listed, supporting the comparison of the firm with living organisms. Our work suggests directions for organizational and personal development arising from three key sociobiological attributes of noticeable importance in management: cohesion, connectivity, adaptive demography. Sampling restrained to biotech companies does not allow for extension to all young companies, but provides interesting insights into management behavior by all founding CEO. Our results may help reexamine how CEO are creating and managing their teams for a better collective efficacy.

    CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 CULTURE REPORT EUNIC YEARBOOK 2011 Cultural relations are the glue that holds alliances together. The geopolitics of the 21st century mean we need to see a revival of cultural diplomacy. China and India are already expanding their external cultural policies. Despite Europe‘s huge cultural diversity, the EU has still not developed an adequate cultural strategy for its foreign policy. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) provides an opportunity to tighten up and co-ordinate the EU‘s existing cultural foreign policy. In this edition of the Culture Report, 30 authors from 20 different countries examine what this all means.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

Abstract When in the 1950s C. Wright Mills was writing about the emergence of the new power elites he paid no attention to the presence of women in its midsts. He was not entirely mistaken. Yet there is a particular intertwining of the ideologies of leadership and masculinity which serves to maintain the status quo, the privilege of an elite and perpetuate preconceptions about political agency and gender. In an attempt to go beyond available models and predominantly masculine images of the postwar America the present article accounts for women’s role in the postwar American efforts for cultural hegemony.

Mediating in intercultural communicative challenges issued in the language classroom: a new objective in training programs for new teachers. Poznań Society for the Advancement of Arts and Sciences, PL ISSN 0079-4740, pp. 95-105 The Faculty of Education Universidad de Murcia (Spain) offers a four-year degree programme in primary education, where modules and subjects related to the foreign language (English) are taught in the first, third and fourth years (OJE 2010). The current teacher training programmes should take into account the most recent political events in Europe so that they can be adjusted to suit the Council of Europe’s original linguistic and cultural education policy. This article will explore intrinsic aspects of foreign language and culture te- aching, and the learning process, in relation to communication and understanding among all European citizens. This analysis will help to identify the implications of 21st-century education policy in terms of the skills of newly-qualified teachers. Keywords: acculturation, culture, education, intercultural competence, teacher training 1. Introduction Vygotsky (1995) claimed that the origin of language was social and that it influenced human thought. Therefore, he added, the origin of thought had to be equally social. It is the social nature of language and thought that encourages us to think of languages as a variety of visions of the world particular to each human society.

  • South Korea's Public Diplomacy: a Cultural Approach
    Södertörn University | Institution of Social Science Bachelor Thesis 15 ECTS | Political Science| Fall 2013 South Korea’s Public Diplomacy: A cultural approach. The acquirement of soft power. Author: David Alexandre Hjalmarsson Mentor: Karl Magnus Johansson ABSTRACT Public Diplomacy has been around for decades, in some parts of the world more than others. Despite that, research related to public diplomacy has mainly focused on approaches serving governments’ policy concerns. A large part of the research has also surrounded efficiency aspects: the level of impact culminating from public diplomacy activities. This tunnel vision has undoubtedly contributed to the limitation of theoretical and methodological development. From that standpoint, this study attempts to contribute and fill the existing theoretical and methodological gap. The study builds on the research by Yun (2005), directed by J. E. Gruing, and examines the reliability of her framework and sheds light on some potential shortcomings and eventual amendments. Suggesting the convergence of public diplomacy and public relation, the model is composed of two theoretical frameworks. Public diplomacy as the dependent variable is anchored in Grunig’s excellence theory and national culture as determinants (independent variable) is anchored in Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory. As did Yun, the study finds that cultural dimensions as determinants for South Korea’s public diplomacy do not possess sufficient explanatory power to understand South Korea’s public diplomacy management. A historical lens and additional contextual factors would hypothetically better explain Korea’s public diplomacy, paving the way for future studies. Keywords: Public diplomacy, public relation, soft power, excellence theory, Grunig, cultural dimensions, Hofstede 2 TABLE OF CONTENT 1.

PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Exchange; Cultural Interrelationships; *Diplomatic History; European History; Exchange Programs; Foreign Countries; Foreign Policy; *Foreign Relations; *Intercultural Programs; *International Education; Political Science IDENTIFIERS *Europe; France; Germany; Italy; United Kingdom ABSTRACT The evolution of European government activities in the sphere of international cultural relations is examined. Section 1 describes the period between World War I and World War II when European governments tried to enhance their prestige and policies by means of cultural propaganda. Section 2 analyzes the period during World War II when the cohabitation of several exiled governments in the United Kingdom led to the impetus and development of both bilateral and collective forms of cultural diplomacy. The third section deals with the cultural diplomacy of specific countries including France, Italy, the Federal German Republic, and the United Kingdom. French cultural diplomacy is presented at the model, and an attempt is made to show how the other three countries vary from that model. Section 4 examines the collective experiences of three groups of countries in the field of cultural diplomacy. Attention is first given to the largely homogeneous group of five Nordic countries, which evolved a practice of collective cultural diplomacy among themselves. By way of contrast, the seven countries of the Western European Union including Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, the Federal German Republic, and Italy exhibit a system of collective cultural cooperation worked out to implement a clause of a treaty after World War II.
