Sommario/riassunto

Au-delà du demi-milliard d’euros versés annuellement par les éditeurs français en droits d’auteur, ceux-ci sont un point nodal de l’économie éditoriale. Une pression s’exerce sur leur niveau car c’est le seul paramètre sur lequel un éditeur peut jouer aisément. Les évolutions techniques risquent donc de pousser l’auteur, qui a accru sa part du travail dans la chaîne éditoriale, à prendre en charge l’ensemble de celle-ci, mais le statut du livre reste un atout stratégique des maisons d’édition. La croissance des rémunérations passant par des instances collectives est liée à la mise en place de mécanismes adaptés.  Authors royalties, half billion euros paid by French publishers a year, are a key issue for the book publishing business. They tend to be squeezed because the level of royalties is the only parameter easily manageable



by publishers. These are at risk of being outflanked because the authors whose part of the editing process has increased due to technical evolutions, will deal without them. Nevertheless, the book’s status remains a key asset for publishers. Besides, the growth of the returns coming through collective institutions is linked to the adaptation of these mechanisms.

Sommario/riassunto

Aligning an organization’s goals and strategies requires specifying their rationales and connections so that the links are explicit and allow for analytic reasoning about what is successful and where improvement is necessary. This book provides guidance on how to achieve this alignment, how to monitor the success of goals and strategies and use measurement to recognize potential failures, and how to close alignment gaps. It uses the GQM+Strategies approach, which provides concepts and actionable steps for creating the link between goals and strategies across an organization and allows for measurement-based decision-making. After outlining the general motivation for organizational alignment through measurement, the GQM+Strategies approach is described concisely, with a focus on the basic model that is created and the process for creating and using this model. The recommended steps of all six phases of the process are then described in detail with the help of a comprehensive application example. Finally, the industrial challenges addressed by the method and cases of its application in industry are presented, and the relations to other approaches, such as Balanced Scorecard, are described. The book concludes with supplementary material, such as checklists and guidelines, to support the application of the method. This book is aimed at organization leaders, managers, decision makers, and other professionals interested in aligning their organization’s goals and strategies and establishing an efficient strategic measurement program. It is also interesting for academic researchers looking for mechanisms to integrate their research results into organizational environments.
