DESCRIPTION:Prof. Liliana Doganova\, Mines ParisTech\n« The performativit
 y of valuation devices: business models and the renewal of markets »\nAbs
 tract\nBusiness models operate as valuation devices. They delineate projec
 tions of future value and stir the imagination of investors. It is through
  an examination of the performative capacities of business models that one
  can understand why and how come considerable flows of money can be put in
  motion way before the existence of any proper business. We aim at refinin
 g this understanding through a focus on the role of business models in the
  configuration of an encounter between the agents through the conjunction 
 of which business is supposed to come into being: the entrepreneur and the
  investor. Through an analysis of two widely praised "success stories" -- 
 Google and Genentech -- we characterize the singular form of valuation tha
 t springs in this encounter and capture it through the notion of capitaliz
 ation devices: i.e.\, valuation devices that make things valuable through 
 the process of transforming them in objects of investment.
