Open sourceOpen source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. The open-source model is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration. A main principle of open-source software development is peer production, with products such as source code, blueprints, and documentation freely available to the public.
Dynamic network analysisDynamic network analysis (DNA) is an emergent scientific field that brings together traditional social network analysis (SNA), link analysis (LA), social simulation and multi-agent systems (MAS) within network science and network theory. Dynamic networks are a function of time (modeled as a subset of the real numbers) to a set of graphs; for each time point there is a graph. This is akin to the definition of dynamical systems, in which the function is from time to an ambient space, where instead of ambient space time is translated to relationships between pairs of vertices.
Théorie du management par les ressourcesLa théorie du management par les ressources ou resource-based view (RBV) est un cadre de gestion utilisé pour déterminer les ressources stratégiques susceptibles de fournir un avantage comparatif à une entreprise. L’entreprise peut exploiter ces ressources pour obtenir un avantage concurrentiel durable. L'article de Barney publié en 1991, intitulé «Firm Resources and Sustained Competitive Advantage», est largement cité comme un élément essentiel de l'émergence de la théorie du management par les ressources.
Informal organizationThe informal organization is the interlocking social structure that governs how people work together in practice. It is the aggregate of norms, personal and professional connections through which work gets done and relationships are built among people who share a common organizational affiliation or cluster of affiliations. It consists of a dynamic set of personal relationships, social networks, communities of common interest, and emotional sources of motivation. The informal organization evolves, and the complex social dynamics of its members also.
