Entrepreneurship concern all economies, in Belgium or abroad, without exception. In the context of mondialization and strong competition we face at this moment, the support of entrepreneurs is fundamental to stay competitive. Indeed, the entrepreneurial activity is so important because it allows to create wealth and employment. 
The second chance of the entrepreneur concern people who have made a bankruptcy involuntarily. In our culture, in most of the cases, failure is considered negatively by the various economic players: providers, financial institutions, etc. However, the phenomenon of disappearance is an integral part of the economic development process. 
The government attempts to implement procedures or make awareness conferences to change the mentality about the failure and to support the bankrupt. Yet from a legal point of view, the results are favorable but from a commercial and relational point of view, the changes are very low. Indeed, the bankruptcy is legally accepted but not societally. The result is that entrepreneurs are eager to start a new project but do not do it through the fear of failure.
No one have the infused sciences to know if the activity will be a success or a failure. This is the reason why mistakes are an integral part of the business. The bankrupt has a positive effect and will be considered as learning and not just a miss. In most of the cases, the bankrupt is considered as the way to success. In most of the cases, we can talk about “constructive failure”.
This research-thesis has the intention to demonstrate the potential who is hiding behind the second chance of the entrepreneurs and the existing obstacles. That it’s a niche to which one government must be interested in because it presents good prospects for the future.

So much relies on science. But what if science itself can?t be relied on?Medicine, education, psychology, health, parenting ? wherever it really matters, we look to science for guidance. Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our understanding of all of these fields and more.While the scientific method will always be our best and only way of knowing about the world, in reality the current system of funding and publishing science not only fails to safeguard against scientists? inescapable biases and foibles, it actively encourages them. Many widely accepted and highly influential theories and claims ? about ?priming? and ?growth mindset?, sleep and nutrition, genes and the microbiome, as well as a host of drugs, allergies and therapies ? turn out to be based on unreliable, exaggerated and even fraudulent papers. We can trace their influence in everything from austerity economics to the anti-vaccination movement, and occasionally count the cost of them in human lives.(https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1117290/science-fictions/9781847925657.html)

These iconoclastic and witty essays are about what happens when scientists jump on band-wagons. Tony Rothman applies creative skepticism to contemporary fashions in science, including the "standard model" Big Bang theory, geodesic domes, the concept of nuclear winter, and sociological applications of the second law of thermodynamics. "Rothman proves himself an excellent communicator... I am grateful to him for he has enlarged my vision, increased my understanding, and made me more aware of the beauty of the patterns and connections of all the world."--Dick Kovan, New Scientist "These six delightful essays address and substantiate the sociological underpinnings of the scientific enterprise... I highly recommend this volume of excellent essays that remind us all of the `folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truth, and oneself for an oracle...'"--Dennis W. Cheek, Science Books & FilmsOriginally published in 1989.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The present volume is entirely dedicated to the investigation of the implications and effects of breaking ritual rules, of failed performances and of the extinction of ritual systems. While rituals are often seen as infallible mechanisms which ‘work’ irrespective of the individual motivations of the performers, it is clearly visible here that rituals can fail, and that improper performances do in fact matter. These essays break new ground in their respective fields and the comparative analysis of rituals that go wrong introduces new perspectives to ritual studies. As the first book-length study on ritual mistakes and failure, this volume begins to fill a significant gap in the existing literature. Contributors include: Claus Ambos, Christiane Brosius, Johanna Buss, Burckhard Dücker, Christoph Emmrich, Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin, Maren Hoffmeister, Ute Hüsken, Brigitte Merz, Axel Michaels, Karin Polit, Michael Rudolph, Edward L. Schieffelin, Jan A.M. Snoek, Eftychia Stavrianopoulou, and Jan Weinhold.
