Learning and staged equity financing
No full textInternational audienceWe propose a rationale for why firms often return to the equity market shortly after their initial public offering (IPO). We argue that hard to value firms conduct smaller IPOs, and that they return to the equity market conditional on a positive valuation signal. This is driven by two-way learning, as market information complements both corporate disclosure and internal information available to management. In contrast to prior studies, we find that information asymmetry is not a necessary condition for staged financing. Our arguments receive support in a sample of 3,625 U.S. IPOs between 1980-2018
Metaverse beyond the hype: multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging challenges, opportunities, and agenda for research, practice and policy
No full textFNEGE 3, ABS 2International audienceThe metaverse has the potential to extend the physical world using augmented and virtual reality technologies allowing users to seamlessly interact within real and simulated environments using avatars and holograms. Virtual environments and immersive games (such as, Second Life, Fortnite, Roblox and VRChat) have been described as antecedents of the metaverse and offer some insight to the potential socio-economic impact of a fully functional persistent cross platform metaverse. Separating the hype and “meta…” rebranding from current reality is difficult, as “big tech” paints a picture of the transformative nature of the metaverse and how it will positively impact people in their work, leisure, and social interaction. The potential impact on the way we conduct business, interact with brands and others, and develop shared experiences is likely to be transformational as the distinct lines between physical and digital are likely to be somewhat blurred from current perceptions. However, although the technology and infrastructure does not yet exist to allow the development of new immersive virtual worlds at scale - one that our avatars could transcend across platforms, researchers are increasingly examining the transformative impact of the metaverse. Impacted sectors include marketing, education, healthcare as well as societal effects relating to social interaction factors from widespread adoption, and issues relating to trust, privacy, bias, disinformation, application of law as well as psychological aspects linked to addiction and impact on vulnerable people. This study examines these topics in detail by combining the informed narrative and multi-perspective approach from experts with varied disciplinary backgrounds on many aspects of the metaverse and its transformational impact. The paper concludes by proposing a future research agenda that is valuable for researchers, professionals and policy makers alike
« Mise en crise » du discours du Haut-Commissariat pour les réfugiés : enjeux et formes de politisation de la cause des réfugiés
No full textInternational audienceLa « crise migratoire » qui rassemble réfugiés et migrants sur les mêmes routes migratoires met « en crise » le discours du Haut-Commissariat pour les réfugiés. Elle impose de « fabriquer un cadrage politique de l'insoutenable » (Angeli Aguiton et al., 2019, p. 15) adossé à des actions de « sortie de crise » qui négocient les formes de sa politisation de la cause des réfugiés. L'article s'appuie sur l'analyse sémio-discursive des rapports d'activités du HCR de 2015 à 2019, depuis l'angle de l'argumentation dans le discours

Eliciting positive emotion through strategic responses to COVID-19 crisis: Evidence from the tourism sector
No full textInternational audienceWhile social media are effective means of communicating with adverse customer emotions during a crisis, it remains unclear how tourism organisations can respond to pandemic crisis on social media to prevent negative aftermaths. Using a set-theoretical approach, we investigate how COVID-19 response strategies and linguistic cues of responses are intertwined to evoke positive emotions among consumers. This study entails a qualitative content analysis of tourism organisations' COVID-19 announcements and a social media analytics approach that captures consumers’ emotional reactions to these announcements via their Twitter replies. Our results extend some well-established findings in the tourism crisis literature by suggesting that combining innovative response strategy, argument quality, and assertive language can reinforce positive emotions during the COVID-19 crisis. Taking organisational characteristics into consideration, we suggest that young established hotels utilise innovative response strategies, whereas retrenchment response strategies for all types of restaurants should be avoided during the COVID-19 crisis
iNNoVaNDiS: de “C’est juste Impossible » à « Faire que cela Arrive » / iNNoVaNDiS: From Just Impossible to Make it Happen
No full textInternational audienceBased on our 15 years of experience in a dedicated program on Entrepreneurship and Innovation—(iNNoVaNDiS) for the bachelor students of the University of Deusto in San Sebastian (Spain)—we will share our views on how entrepreneurship could be taught and how this program has changed through during this period of time. This program develops and encourages entrepreneurial behaviour among all students on this campus, by working on knowledge, abilities, attitudes, values, and emotions.The basis of the program is that being entrepreneurial and innovative is a way of thinking, a mindset, and personal identity. It is an action-oriented program taken in different contexts during various workshops, working with real challenges faced by local organizations and for it, action is a MUST.The philosophy behind the program is that entrepreneurship and innovation are not goals or disciplines to learn, and their purposes go far beyond starting a business. The scope of the initiative has not been the development of a business, but rather to foster ethical entrepreneurship and innovative behavior in everyday life
Grand Societal Challenges and Responsible Innovation
No full textInternational audienceGrand societal challenges (GSCs) represent complex, multi-level, multi-dimensional problems that require concerted efforts by various actors-public, private, and non-profit-to be successfully addressed. Businesses-alone or in conjunction with governmental and nonprofit organizations-are relevant actors in this regard, as they represent a source of innovation. Responsible innovation (RI) is a framework that allows for the governance and evaluation of innovations with regard to their potential harmful consequences and positive contributions to societal challenges. Moreover, it stipulates that this evaluation process should be facilitated by appropriate governance structures at various levels. The aim of this article is to expand theorizing on GSCs and RI and to encourage research that explores their links. We outline pertinent characteristics of GSCs that make current conceptualizations of corporate social responsibility and social innovation limited in addressing GSCs. We explicate the reflexive and participative capacities of RI governance as a complementary and promising way forward. Finally, we introduce the contributions to this Special Issue as illustrations of relevant theoretical and empirical groundwork around GSCs and RI, and outline the agenda for future research
<i>Indignação</i> and <i>declaração corporal</i> : Luta and artivism in Brazil during the times of the pandemic
No full textInternational audienceIn this article, we interrogate vergonha alheia (shame on behalf of others; or "vicarious embarrassment"), which is experienced when viewing an embarrassing action from the outside. We question if shame-associated with the worst of human behavior brought about and made visible by the COVID-19 pandemic-can ignite a new kind of cultural sensitivity to the pain of others. Turning to the work of several feminist scholars, we reveal the generative power of shame in artistic and political mobilization. We study examples of artistic activism (i.e., artivism) during the COVID-19 pandemic, as presented by two Brazilian women-Adriana Calcanhotto and Debora Diniz. By intimately engaging with their work and situating it in the context of the popular feminist struggle in Brazil-that is, a luta (the struggle), we discern two performative patterns articulated through distinct symbolic utterances: indignação and declaração corporal (indignation and bodily declaration). We contend that these utterances help overcome individual apathy, summon radically different forms of sensitivity and meaning making that may initiate potentially transformative shifts in public perceptions of social justice. We conclude with our reflections on how feminist artivism in Latin America not only questions the validity of the abstract, universal, and modern human being but also reveals new frames of progress
