La référence en stratégie, de la start-up à la multinationale
by JOÃO ALBINO-PIMENTEL, RODOLPHE DURAND, PIERRE DUSSAUGE, LAURENCE LEHMANN-ORTEGA
For the past thirty-five years, the success of this work, a true strategy bible, a leader in France and in many French speaking countries, and now translated into English for the first time, has never waned. This latest edition has been revamped by a small team of professors, with a dual purpose in mind: Firstly, to deliver a concise and cohesive textbook suitable for Master’s and MBA students in both university and business school settings, as well as for consultants and company executives, whether in active roles or undergoing training. This textbook serves as a practical handbook for addressing case studies in both academic and real-world contexts. Secondly, our aim is to establish a comprehensive ‘strategy encyclopedia’, facilitating a thorough exploration and critical analysis of the various approaches, theories, and concepts that underpin strategic thought and practice. This English adaptation of the 9th French edition offers recent examples from all industries. It focuses on the current changes in the business environment, particularly those of digital strategies, artificial intelligence, innovation, leadership, globalization/de-globalization, as well as corporate social responsibility.

May 2024Magellan on the Beach. Discover the Exploration of the Earth from a Deckchair
A la découverte de la Terre dans un transat
by CHARLES FRANKEL
Formed 4.5 million years ago, the Earth is the only celestial object, as far as we know, to harbour life and which makes it exceptional just like its discovery by the Portuguese navigator, Fernand Magellan. He was the first person who planned to circumnavigate the Earth but met his downfall in the Cebu Islands, present day Philippines. The journey was completed by surviving members of the expedition. Now sit back in your deckchair and follow in the footsteps of Magellan to discover the Earth from every angle: from the Equator to the polar ice caps, from mountain tops to the sea floor, to the centre of the Earth and its molten iron core.

June 2023Schema Therapy and Memory Reconsolidation for Transformational Change
Transformer les modèles prédictifs avec la reconsolidation de la mémoire
by PIERRE COUSINEAU, SOPHIE CÔTÉ
Schema therapy offers psychotherapists a model for clearly and coherently conceptualizing human complexity in a transparent, accessible form. It is a remarkable map for finding one’s way through the dense forest of human experience. Schemas, the pivotal concept of this therapy, are emotional memories built up through our life experiences. They largely determine our view of the world and, consequently, the way we react and adapt to it. Schema therapy focuses on certain early schemas that have become maladaptive. It has always done so with openness, integrating techniques from a variety of psychotherapeutic orientations. This book presents schemas in their predictive function, and looks at the possibility of updating these predictions, based on advances in neuroscience that clarify the conditions necessary for therapeutic reconsolidation of memory. It opens the door to a real transformation of schemas.

May 2024Can You Love a Robot? with Blade Runner
by FRÉDÉRIC LANDRAGIN
It’s the year 2019 in Los Angeles. The planet Earth has seen its fauna virtually disappear following overexploitation, pollution, nuclear wars, and man-made climate change. The population has been encouraged to move to the colonies situated on other planets. Artificial animals and androids have been created to meet their needs. For the later, their organs are manufactured independently using genetic manipulation. They are built in human form and called Replicants. Following a bloody and inexplicable uprising in a Martian colony, the Replicants are banned from Earth. Special police units, or Blade Runners, intervene to enforce the law against offenders but the latest android model is difficult to distinguish from humans pushing the Blade Runners to investigate at length, through a test to establish their lack of empathy, before shutting it down. From fiction to reality, this book looks at “affective computing”, a branch of research in AI which develops systems capable of recognizing, expressing, synthesizing, and copying human emotions. Discover the androids that could one day become our new life companions, eager to satisfy our every wish.

October 2024Decision Making in an Uncertain World. The Decision Model Canvas Method, Your 12-step Guide
Decision Model Canvas (DMC), la méthode en 12 étapes
by VALÉRIE FERNANDEZ, THOMAS HOUY
For Valérie Fernandez and Thomas Houy, both professors at Télécom Paris, the world has shifted from a risky one to an uncertain one. The difference? In a risky world, businesses had to make decisions without knowing tomorrow’s outcome, but they were at least able to identify possible futures. In an uncertain world, they cannot even anticipate what will happen tomorrow as most events remain unimaginable. To counteract this, the authors have developed a new tool called Decision Model Canvas (DMC) based on the one created by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur.

February 2024How to Protect Your Child from Sexual Abuse
by JOANNA SMITH
Parents want to protect their child and want them to grow happily. But growing up, becoming independent, also means discovering the world, leaving home, and taking risks. And of all the risks a child runs, the one of being sexually abused is the one that terrifies parents the most. What can we do this in this context? How can we assess risk situations to avoid them? Talking about sexual violence with your child is a real challenge. We dread it, so we keep quiet about it, or just touch upon it. And every year, thousands of children suffer from sexual abuse. To protect them as effectively as possible, we need to be aware of the danger and the forms it can take, but we also need to teach them about their rights, including consent. Joanna Smith aims to help parents answer crucial questions such as “How come nobody noticed anything?”, “How can we help them to not accept the law of the biggest man and learn to say no?”, “How to teach your child about consent?”, etc. What’s more, most parents have no idea how traumatic memory works. Recent advances in our knowledge of the brain have provided some answers to these questions. A useful book that delivers information that is still not widely known about the profile of perpetrators of sexual violence and the real risk situations. It provides ways of talking to children about sexual abuse committed against them, without panicking them and striking the right balance between trivialisation and dramatisation.

October 2024Stories About Great Painters. From the Renaissance to the 19th Century
A la rencontre des peintres, de la Renaissance au XIXe siècle
by FRANÇOIS MARET
Meet the painters behind some of the world’s masterpieces. Guided by a character who is part art critic, part historian and part shrink, the reader takes a leap back in time to meet more than 50 of our great painters, from the Renaissance to the present day: Michelangelo, El Greco, Fragonard, David, Manet, Pissarro, Goya, Van Gogh, Munch, Gauguin, Cezanne, Klimt, Braque, Mondrian, Duchamp, and Dali. All painters are placed in their historical context and artistic movement along with their major works (major works which don’t appear in the novel are accessible via QR codes given that the book only has 176 comic strips). Each artistic period opens with a timeline, and the mischievous guide is given free rein to shake up the painters about their practices and quirks.

September 2024Atlas of Crises and Conflicts
by PASCAL BONIFACE, HUBERT VÉDRINE

October 2024The New Faces of the World. From the Geographical Explorations of Christopher Columbus to Alexander von Humboldt
Les explorations géographiques de Christoph Colomb à Alexander von Humboldt
by JEAN-JACQUES BAVOUX
For four centuries, the geography of the Modern Age provided extremely contrasting visions of the world: utopias, legends, chimeras, prodigies, and hypotheses mingled with a scientific approach that was becoming more refined: precise measurement of the meridian, gravity and magnetic declination, quantification, introduction of statistics, search for universal principles. Cultural shocks were huge. The search for the location of Paradise, the sixth antipodal continent, El Dorado or the Fortunate Isles continued in all seriousness. While at the same time, the planet was methodically gridded, systematically controlled by the lines of longitude and latitude and demystified by scholarly maps and austere statistics. Similarly, while some still equated the Earth as a living thing or saw it as the unique and glorious centre of the cosmos, others demonstrated that it was nothing but a tiny, banal grain of sand in the now infinite universe of the plurality of worlds. From the imaginary in geographical representations to the assimilation of the new immensity and awareness of the world’s finitude, geographers gradually drew up new systems for understanding the world. A highly illustrated multidisciplinary voyage around the Earth.
