Brands have often been analysed using a consistency paradigm according to the classical ideology of marketing which has spread worldwide since the 1950s. The positioning construct and the use of USPs have largely encouraged this monoaxial vision of brands and branding.

Anyhow, brands have to integrate three expectations of the social, political and cultural spheres which are efficiency, equality and personal fulfillement as pointed out by Daniel Bell in the late 1970s. We will thus develop the idea that cultural branding means the resolution of contradictions which define society as well as  indivivuduals. In other words, we will raise the question of whether capitalism does not make us crazy.

La Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises agricoles des pays en voie de développement. Le cas d’Ecuagenera, entreprise spécialisée dans la production d’orchidées.

La RSE ne fait pas encore l’objet d’une mise en place systématique chez les PME que ce soit dans les pays en développement ou développés. Les entreprises du secteur agricole des économies en développement sont particulièrement éloignées de la notion de RSE : elles sont souvent beaucoup moins vertueuses d’un point de vue du respect de l’environnement et de la protection des salariés.
Le comportement du secteur agricole est contradictoire : les producteurs agricoles polluent souvent massivementmais leurs activités sont toutefois dépendantes de cet environnement qu’ils participent à détruire. Compte tenu de cet état de fait, ce mémoire pose la question suivante: dans quelle mesure une PME agricole d’un pays en développement peut s’approprier le concept de RSE?

The Internationalisation of Latin American SMEs and their Projection in Europe

This study was carried out by CERALE (Centre d’Etudes et de Recherche Amérique Latine Europe) – ESCP Europe Business School, at the request and with the support of the EU-LAC Foundation and the Institut des Amériques. It focuses on the internationalisation of Latin American SMEs using samples from nine countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.

The aim of the study is to analyse the barriers that Latin American SMEs must overcome in order to gain access to international markets and their value chains and to identify the factors that promote bi-regional partnerships.
