FNEGE-labelled works in 2025

The Collège de Labellisation de la Fondation Nationale pour l’Enseignement de la Gestion des Entreprises (FNEGE) des Ouvrages de Management aims to qualify books to distinguish those that are firmly rooted in and make a contribution to the field of management research, and to give greater prominence to the publication of books as a complement to academic articles.

Catégory Essay :

La sobriété des organisations. (Sober organizations) Jean-Baptiste WELTE, Éditions Panthéon-Assas

This book proposes to explain why sobriety is not an appropriate concept for solving environmental problems on an organizational scale. Rather, it shows that sobriety is an individual ethic that has emerged as a way of making sense of the climate threats facing our societies. By exploring the main practical approaches to applying sobriety to organizations, the book seeks to clarify the limits of the concept and outline possible horizons for overcoming them.

 

L’avantage coopétitif : Faire de la coopétition une stratégie gagnante, (The coopetitive advantage: turning coopetition into a winning strategy) Frédéric LE ROY, Anne-Sophie FERNANDEZ & Paul CHIAMBARETTO, EMS

Coopetition – a paradoxical relationship which includes two a priori opposed forces, cooperation and competition – has been a strategy behind many industrial successes over the last 40 years. The latest example is the development of the Covid-19 vaccine. Organized around three main chapters – coopetition strategies, coopetition management and multiple coopetition – this book uses numerous case studies to show that :

• the strategy of coopetition generates enormous opportunities for companies. It enables a company to create cooperative advantages;

• that it also generates numerous risks that make its benefits uncertain and potentially harmful;

• managing coopetition is therefore a prerequisite for turning it into a winning strategy.

The aim of this book is to help economic players recognize what is their new reality, and what will become even more so in the years to come. The aim is to understand these new relationships of coopetition, their strategic stakes, and the new management methods they require. Learning to manage coopetition is the key to business performance in the 21st century.

 

Dynamique des organisations : Les décrypter pour un     monde    plus durable et équitable,(Organizational dynamic of organization: Deciphering them for a more sustainable and equitable world) Véronique STEYER & Anna GLASER, Dunod

Organizations shape our world… for better or for worse. But how can we design organizations that respond to societal challenges for a more sustainable world? By deciphering their complex world.
 What forces set organizations in motion or paralyze them? How are power dynamics and decision-making shaped? How are they structured, and how can they evolve?

Through six chapters, this book puts simple words and images to the essential mechanisms of organizations, exploring their structure, culture, power relationships, incentive systems, decision-making processes and capacity for innovation. Complemented by illustrations and real-life company cases, it is a real tool for appropriating the keys to designing, implementing and testing conditions conducive to sustainable organizational environments.

Deciphering the dynamics of organizations and what falls within the scope of individual or collective action will enable every professional and manager to build a more equitable and sustainable future.

Science et industrie à l’aune du double impact : Favoriser les découvertes scientifiques et les innovations de rupture, (Science and industry with a double impact: Fostering scientific discoveries and breakthrough innovations),Quentin PLANTEC, Pascal LE MASSON & Benoit WEIL, Presses des Mines

Despite colossal investments in academic research, its contribution to major innovations seems insufficient. Drawing on the rich history of interactions between scientists and industry, from emblematic figures such as Pasteur to pioneers of modern technologies like transistors or DNA scissors, this book highlights the complex dynamics shaping the relationship between science and industry. The innovative concept of science-industry coupling is introduced to account for the way in which certain interactions can simultaneously catalyze major scientific discoveries and disruptive innovations, while others will foster a mutual enslavement of the players. A new paradigm of “simultaneous double impact” is proposed, breaking with traditional models and paving the way for a renewal of forms of collaboration between science and industry. By mobilizing theory, historical analysis and contemporary case studies, the work presented here offers a promising path towards a more symbiotic integration of research and innovation, essential to meeting the challenges of our time. Intended for professionals, researchers, decision-makers and students, this book aims to chart new paths for the management of innovation and science in a rapidly changing world.

 

Economie circulaire : imaginaires et pratiques (Circular economy: imaginaries and practices) Aurélien ACQUIER, Franck AGGERI, Valentina CARBONE, Eric LESUEUR & Olivier LECOINTE, Presses des Mines

 In just a few years, the circular economy has established itself in the public debate as the promise of a more sober growth model compatible with the challenges of an ecological transition. The current trend contrasts the circular economy, based on strategies for closing the loop of material and energy flows, with the linear economy based on the unlimited exploitation of natural resources and the landfilling of waste resulting from our unbridled consumption. This book challenges the dominant framing of the circular economy, presents the various imaginaries conveyed by the notion, and analyzes the collective practices that are unfolding today on every continent. To this end, a variety of perspectives (historical, philosophical, geopolitical, sociological, managerial, economic, ecological, legal, prospective) are mobilized to shed light on contemporary debates. Starting with a historical analysis of practices and concepts, the book examines the issues and experiments involved in the circular economy: regulatory issues, territorial approaches to the emergence of new commons; relationships with technology and innovation, including through the creation of new imaginaries; sectoral models and practices. At the same time, this book highlights what is being invented in the field, and discusses the new conceptions of the circular economy that are emerging. Finally, it examines the conditions under which the circular economy can become a reality.

 

Le marketing à l’ère de la sobriété : Nouveaux régimes de consommation, (Marketing in the age of sobriety: New consumption regimes), Jean-Baptiste WELTE & Isabelle DABADIE, EMS

These are sober times. In the face of climate change and wasted resources, the finger is pointed at over-consumption. We need to reduce our consumption and restrict our desires to preserve the resources of a planet on the brink of exhaustion. Marketing is therefore invited to reform itself by gradually ceasing to promote lifestyles based on excessive accumulation. This is a huge undertaking for professions that have historically focused on conquering new markets.

This collective work, the fruit of the labors of management science researchers, analyzes the emergence of sober marketing and lifestyles, the first faint signals of an ongoing transformation. Reinventing sobriety at a time of ecological crises, examining sober consumption practices, levers for transforming behavior and businesses… These contemporary reflections invite us to rethink marketing practices and their role in today’s environmental and social transitions.

The FNEGE Awards Ceremony, at which one book in each category will receive a prize, will take place on June 11, 2025 at EDHEC (Paris Campus – 2nd arrondissement).
