Responsible management & Social innovation

Responsible management & Social innovation

This axis is mainly concerned with the types of organisation whose raison d'être is not limited to the search for and distribution of profit.

This study perspective leads to an analysis of the practical methods of responsible management which is oriented towards the achievement of overall performance, not only financial but also integrating social and environmental objectives.

Particular emphasis is placed on analysis of the modes of governance implemented, in particular the model of democratic governance tried out for two centuries by organisations in the social and solidarity economy.

Attention is also focused on social enterprise and, more broadly, on entrepreneurial approaches geared towards social innovation and the search for innovative responses to social needs to which neither the State nor the market provide a satisfactory or adequate response.

Human resources management practices aimed at implementing responsible management are clarified and discussed.
