"Qu'est-ce qui rend les choses populaires ? Si vous avez dit publicité, détrompez-vous. Les gens n'écoutent pas les publicités, ils écoutent leurs pairs. Mais pourquoi les gens parlent-ils de certains produits et idées plus que d'autres ? Pourquoi certaines histoires et rumeurs sont-elles plus contagieuses ? Et qu'est-ce qui rend le contenu en ligne viral ? Même avec des investissements marketing et publicitaires importants, tous les produits n'arrivent pas à atteindre le statut de "blockbuster" . Le professeur de marketing de Wharton, Jonah Berger a étudié les caractéristiques des produits et des messages qui deviennent viraux. Il expose pourquoi les produits font l'objet d'un bouche-à-oreille, rencontrent très vite un succès "épidémique" et d'autres non et comment l'influence sociale façonne tout, des voitures que nous achetons aux vêtements que nous portons, en passant par les noms que nous donnons à nos enfants. Dans Contagieux, Berger révèle la science secrète derrière le bouche-à-oreille et la transmission sociale. Des produits de consommation et des initiatives politiques aux rumeurs sur le lieu de travail et aux vidéos YouTube, découvrez la méthode STEPPS et comment six principes de base rendent toutes sortes de choses contagieuses : - monnaie sociale (Social currency), - déclencheurs (Triggers), - émotions (Emotions), - public (Public), - valeur pratique (Pratical values), - histoires (Stories). Contagieux fournit des techniques spécifiques et exploitables pour aider à la diffusion des informations, pour concevoir des messages, des publicités et du contenu que les gens partageront le plus largement, grâce à l'effet réseau et comment les utiliser pour créer du buzz."

"The most important theme of the discourse on sustainable development and sustainability challenges concerns the relationship between innovation and sustainability. This book represents a realistic critical overview of the state of affairs of sustainable innovations, offering an accessible and comprehensive diagnostic point of reference for both the academic and practitioner worlds. In order for sustainable innovation to truly become mainstream practice in business it is necessary to find out how organizations can strategically and efficiently accommodate sustainability and innovation in such a manner that they accomplish value capturing (for firms, stakeholders, and for society), not merely creating a return on the social responsibility agenda. Addressing this challenge, the book draws together research from a range of perspectives in order to understand the potential shifts and barriers, benefits and outcomes from all angles: inception, strategic process, and impact for companies and society. The book also delivers insights of (open) innovation in public sector organizations, which is not so much a process of invention as it is one of adoption and diffusion. It examines how the environmental pillar of the triple bottom line in private firms is often a by-product of thinking about the economic pillar, where cost reductions may be achieved through process innovation in terms of eliminating waste and reducing energy consumption. The impact of open innovation on process innovation, and sustainable process innovation in particular, is an underexplored area but is examined in this book. It also considers the role of the individual entrepreneur in bringing about sustainable innovation; entrepreneurs, their small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as the innovation ecosystems they build, play a significant role in generating sustainable innovations where these smaller organizations are much more flexible than large organizations in targeting societal needs and challenges. The readership will incorporate PhD students and postgraduate researchers, as well as practitioners from organizational advisory fields"--
