D’après une nouvelle étude de l’Université de Rochester, hommes et femmes ne possèderaient effectivement pas de caractéristiques psychologiques si distinctes que ça. Au travers de cette étude, les chercheurs Harry Reis, professeur de psychologie à l’Université de Rochester, et Bobbi Carothers, analyste de données au Center for Public Health System Science à l’Université de Washington, sont arrivés à la conclusion que les attributs que nous associons traditionnellement avec un genre ou l’autre existent en fait dans l’un comme l’autre.

By Umair Haque | 9:43 AM August 4, 2011 Here’s a confession that may surprise no one who regularly reads this blog: I’m a misfit.
And I always have been. And having spent a few decades on this planet as a slightly octagonal peg facing an endless vista of square, machine-made holes, I’ve developed a hypothesis about achievement. It’s this: great accomplishment usually takes the impertinence not to fit into the suffocating status quo. Moving Around Without Losing Your Roots - Gianpiero Petriglieri.

By Dana Rousmaniere | 7:07 AM September 11, 2012 North American restaurant chain Panera Bread is experimenting with a nonprofit variation, where the company donates a number of existing stores to its "Panera Cares" foundation.

How to Take a Social Venture to Scale - Paul Bloom. By Paul Bloom | 8:30 AM June 18, 2012 For a social entrepreneur with an innovative solution, the holy grail is scaling it—that is, taking it to a level where the new approach operates efficiently and effectively to achieve significant mitigation of a social problem. Indeed, many are under real pressure to scale as their supporters, not unlike investors in commercial ventures, clamor for higher social returns on their investments.

For the past several years, I have been studying the successful scalers to discover how they made the leap from local to large-scale impact.
