This research paper identifies the skills mobilised by a company's founder while creating his company. First, we note that current management research literature in this area is weak, and the analysis framework of the founder's competences needs to be revised. Second, using an empirical qualitative method, four projects of innovative companies are analysed to pinpoint and assess the skills required at each step of the company's foundation process. In our critique, we analyse thoroughly the skills required in these innovations and we also discuss the support practices that were invoked to facilitate the projects.

During the pre-accession period to the European Union (EU), many universities in Central and Eastern Europe opened new majors in order to prepare specialists in the field of European affairs. Given that French is the second language of the EU, teaching French as a foreign language is often a part of these majors’ curriculum. Therefore, it is interesting to address some pedagogical issues which arise concerning such university courses, e.g.: how to situate them in relation to other existing language courses, what their goals are, what methodological approach should be adopted and how to incorporate authentic documents into the program, as well as which teaching and learning scenarios integrating such materials should be used in class.

The group Culture pour tous develops since 2007 a program of collective creations Art at work with the cooperation of artists and private, public and para-public enterprises. Up to now, around thirty projects were realized in a variety of locations throughout Quebec: factories, finance companies, community centers, municipal services, etc. This program anchors in a will of the group to increase citizen’s participation in culture by moving closer to the artists and creative processes in all circles of life. With the help of researchers in sociology and communication studies, Culture pour tous also informs and promotes the impacts of the projects of mediation and shared creation. When the capacity of organizations to transform themselves is an essential stake, the values and the processes linked to the world of art and creation are more and more considered as tools of management.

The majority of Western ethnological museums search for new approaches to the treatment of cultural diversity, not only in the Americas, as an outcome of extensive immigration producing a variety of cultures, but also in European nation-states, where museums in postcommunist countries concentrate on the study of a national culture. However this reductive, imposed dichotomy needs to be qualified to some extent. Most authors who discuss postcommunist countries fall into the reductive trap, since they hold on to the cold war attitude of observing such locations in terms of blocs and oppositions. The situation is actually more complex, since diverse practices and approaches can be found within and between countries and within and between their museum institutions. We will address this problem by using examples from Croatian ethnographic museums.

The issues involved in remembering slavery have taken on worldwide significance. This reflection deals with initiatives to heritagize the remembrance of slavery in Bordeaux (France) and Port-au-Prince (Haiti). It is based on an interpretation of the results from our 2013 fieldwork investigations in Bordeaux and Port-au-Prince, along with participant observations and archival research. Implied is the fact that the heritage of slavery remembered in Bordeaux represents a therapy for the moral stigmatization and contributes toward promoting “living better together” in a society which is undergoing, more and more, a process of creolization. In Port-au-Prince that heritage is, rather, one that speaks of victimization, protests and recognition; it is, in fact, at a crossroad between a desire to mourn over slavery and the affirmation of greatness on the part of the people of Haiti in order to understand their social environment.
