Conférence à l'IAE de Toulouse le 22 septembre : Chaires Pierre de Fermat : Conférence débat « Etre un stratège – Being a strategist »
Chaires Pierre de Fermat : Conférence débat « Etre un stratège – Being a strategist »
Stratégie dans l'entreprise : comment être un stratège ? Comment apprend-on la stratégie dans les organisations ? Quels sont les enjeux de la « fabrique de la stratégie » ? Ces trois pistes seront explorées par Richard Whittington (professeur à la Saïd Business School et Millman fellow du New College à l’Université d’Oxford). Cette conférence est organisée par l’Institut d’administration des entreprises de l’Université Toulouse 1 sciences sociales (IAE) et Midi-Pyrénées Innovation, dans le cadre des Chaires Pierre de Fermat, un programme financé par la Région Midi-Pyrénées, qui permet d’accueillir en Midi-Pyrénées des chercheurs de renommée internationale.
Les recherches de Richard Whittington portent sur la fabrique de la stratégie. Il s’intéresse dans ses travaux aux pratiques de ceux qui sont censés imaginer, formuler puis mettre en oeuvre la stratégie dans l’entreprise. Au-delà de ses aspects techniques ou purement formels, la stratégie est une activité sociale très largement dépendante d’interactions collectives. Le stratège doit déployer des compétences analytiques et parallèlement emporter la conviction de l’organisation autour d’un projet.
En face de lui, Hervé Buchwalter, PDG de Spot Image, donnera son témoignage de praticien, en expliquant son parcours et son expérience à la tête d’une entreprise multinationale. L’exposé de Richard Whittington sera fait en langue anglaise, la réponse d’Hervé Buchwalter en français, les questions et réponses seront données dans les deux langues.
Programme prévisionnel :
18h - Ouverture par Alain Bénéteau, vice-président de la Région Midi-Pyrénées et vice-président de Midi-Pyrénées Innovation, et Hervé Penan, Directeur de l’IAE de Toulouse
18h20 - « Being a strategist » : Richard Whittington (en anglais)
18h40 - La réponse du praticien : Hervé Buchwalter , président directeur général de Spot Image (en français)
19h - Débat avec le public (en anglais et en français)

CFP BHC/EBHA Conference Milan
Fashions: Business Practices in Historical Perspective
11-13 June 2009, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy
Joint Meeting of the Business History Conference and the European Business
History Association
THEMES
Fashion, as a concept, refers to much more than the way we dress. For this joint meeting of the Business History Conference (BHC) and the European Business History Association (EBHA), we define fashion in two ways. First, we see fashion as a set of ideas and activities associated with business firms and institutions that persisted over time. A fashion was a durable but
often time-bound business practice or conceptual horizon in production, management, marketing, strategy, taste, style, politics, trade, or finance.
Fashion as a concept describing business firms and institutions directs our attention to trends, habits, and rules that delineated what was done and what was not to be done. We particularly encourage participants to look at the role of firms, associations, government, consultants, media, and other agents in spreading "fashionable" business styles. As well, we seek
presenters who explore fashions in entrepreneurial action, corporate organization and governance, in economics and business studies, and even in the writing of business history. For example, we would welcome papers that trace the flow of business history scholarship into cognate fields such as political science and sociology. Equally valuable would be presentations
describing popular ideas about what took place in earlier periods of business. We approach fashion in each of these arenas not as a passing fancy, but instead as a fundamental influence, a horizon of the possible in business that was (and perhaps remains) embedded in concrete practices delineated by discrete turning points that made the previous practice or set
of ideas "un-fashionable."
In keeping with the conference's location in Milan-one of Europe's great industrial and design centers-we encourage papers on the business of fashion itself. In this second way of understanding fashion, we refer to the creation of consumer goods whose appeals rested on values such as utility, practicality, design, aesthetics, style, and cultural symbolism. Whether in
Renaissance Florence, nineteenth century Europe, or post World War II America, those commodities and their meanings were part of a complex interplay between the parties who created, purchased, and used them. Furthermore, while fashion-industry entrepreneurs and companies have recently emerged as icons of globalization, those actors were also deeply rooted in local contexts and enmeshed in constellations of relationships that included designers, manufacturers, distributors, advertisers,
retailers, and consumers. Among many factors, we seek to understand how the local related to the global. Consistent with BHC and EBHA policy and long-time practice, the program committee also will be pleased to entertain submissions not directly related to the conference themes.
Potential presenters may submit proposals either for individual papers or for entire panels. Individual paper or poster proposals should include a one-page abstract and a one-page curriculum vitae (CV). The abstract should summarize the argument of the presentation, the sources on which it is based, and its relationship to existing scholarship. Each panel proposal should include a cover letter stating the rationale for the session, the name of the panel's contact person, a one-page abstract and author's CV for each proposed paper (up to four), and a list of preferred chairs and commentators with contact information.
The deadline for receipt of proposals is 29 September 2008. Please send all proposals to Dr. Roger Horowitz, Secretary-Treasurer, Business History Conference, P.O Box 3630, Wilmington, DE 19807, USA. Phone: (302) 658-2400; fax: (302) 655-3188; email: rh@udel.edu. Presenters will be expected to submit paper abstracts for posting directly to the conference website. In addition, presenters are encouraged to post electronic versions of their
papers prior to the meeting, and to submit their papers for inclusion in the BHC's on-line proceedings publication, Business and Economic History On-Line.
BHC and EBHA colloquia for Graduate students
The BHC's Fifth Dissertation Colloquium will be held in conjunction with the 2009 annual meeting. This intensive workshop, sponsored by the BHC and funded by its Alfred D. Chandler, Jr. Fund, will take place at the conference venue Tuesday, 9 June, and Wednesday, 10 June. Participants will work closely with a small, distinguished group of BHC-affiliated scholars, including at least two of its officers. The assembled scholars and students will review dissertation proposals, consider relevant literatures and research strategies, and discuss the business history profession. Limited to ten students, it is intended for doctoral candidates in the early stages of their dissertation projects. Those interested in participating should submit to Roger Horowitz, BHC Secretary-Treasurer (rh@udel.edu), a statement of interest, a preliminary or final dissertation prospectus, and a CV. Please make clear that you are interested in the Dissertation Colloquium. One
recommendation from the dissertation supervisor (or prospective supervisor) should also be faxed (302-655-3188) or emailed to Roger Horowitz by 15 December 2008. The review committee will notify all applicants of its decisions after 15 February. Each student participant will receive an honorarium to assist with travel expenses.
The EBHA's Fifth Biannual Summer School in Business History will be held in Italy in September 2009. Those interested in participating in this residential, one-week course should write to the school's organizer, Francesca Polese (francesca.polese@unibocconi.it). The official call for applications will be issued at the end of 2008, and the application deadline is 15 May 2009. Summer school organizers will pay all local costs (accommodation and food), but participants will be expected to pay their travel expenses.
BHC and EBHA Prizes
Proposals are invited for the BHC's Herman E. Krooss Prize, which is awarded for the best dissertation in business history in the English language. The Krooss Prize Committee welcomes submissions from recent Ph.D.s (2006-2008) in history, economics, business administration, history of science and technology, law, and related fields. To participate in this competition, please indicate so in a cover letter, and include a one-page CV and one-page dissertation abstract. Semi-finalists will be asked to submit copies of their dissertation. Finalists will present summaries of their dissertations
at the Milan meeting. The BHC also awards the K. Austin Kerr Prize for the best first paper by a Ph.D. candidate or recent Ph.D. (2006-08). If you wish to participate in this competition at the Milan meeting, please indicate so in your cover letter. Proposals accepted for the Krooss Prize panel are not eligible for the Kerr Prize. Members and non-members are
eligible for these prizes.
The EBHA Dissertation Competition takes place every second year. The next are scheduled for the EBHA's annual meeting in in Glasgow in 2010. EBHA will offer a prize for the Best Paper on European business history.
Grants for travel to the Milan meeting
In addition to travel grants to participate in the graduate student colloquium, the BHC also offers grants to graduate students who are presenting papers to offset some of the costs of attending the conference. Applicants for a BHC travel grant should so indicate in their cover letter. The EBHA offers travel grants for scholars residing in Eastern Europe who are presenting papers at the conference. Applicants seeking these grants should so indicate in their cover letter.
Poster session
We encourage presentations at our poster session. Poster sessions are especially appropriate and engaging for scholars at work on a new project, for graduate students developing a thesis, for scholars at every level whose work emphasizes audio/visual materials, and for persons who simply wish to talk with colleagues at greater length than provided in the usual format of a 90 minute session. Applicants for the poster session should so indicate in a cover letter.

Appel à contribution Entreprises et Histoire
Appel à contribution
Numéro thématique de la revue Entreprises et Histoire
sur le thème
« Les lieux de la concurrence »
sous la direction de Sébastien Liarte avec la collaboration de Ludovic Cailluet
Les chercheurs et universitaires, historiens, gestionnaires, juristes, économistes et plus largement ceux appartenant à toutes les disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales sont invités à proposer des articles complets en français ou en anglais (40 000 signes maximum) sur ce thème.
Présentation du thème
La dynamique concurrentielle implique une rencontre plus ou moins régulière des organisations concurrentes sur des couples produits/marchés. Si le couple produit/marché est un lieu traditionnel de la concurrence, il n’est pas le seul. En effet, la concurrence entre organisations peut se dérouler sur d’autres lieux, plus ou moins reliés à une dimension spatiale. Les thèmes suivants, en tant que lieu de la concurrence, pourront donc être abordés :
- L’espace géographique (critères de choix, géomarketing, etc.)
- L’espace commercial (centres commerciaux, géomerchandising, etc.)
- L’international
- Les marchés de ressources (matières premières, financières, humaines, etc.)
- Les Field Configuring Events et autres lieux spécifiques (salons, foires, etc.)
- Les réseaux
- Les moyens de diffusion de l’information et de la connaissance (Internet, média traditionnels,
revues scientifiques, etc.)
- Les lieux du pouvoir (instances européennes, Organisation Mondiale du Commerce, etc.)
De plus, ces lieux peuvent évoluer et changer en fonction des époques, des secteurs d’activités et des caractéristiques des entreprises. Leur rôle et leur place dans l’activité économique peuvent également être plus ou moins importants selon leur niveau d’institutionnalisation. Les recherches s’intéressant à ces sujets entrent également dans le thème de cet appel à contribution.
La liste des thèmes n’est pas exhaustive. Toutes les soumissions en rapport avec le thème général sont bien évidemment considérées. Néanmoins, les contributions intégrant une dimension historique seront privilégiées.
