Dallaire, Géraldine. "Le projet pour aborder le processus entrepreneurial dans le secteur culturel." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019GREAG012.
Full textAbstract:
La figure de l’entrepreneur culturel est présente depuis que l’art existe. Cependant, certains auteurs comme Ellmeier (2003) expliquent que le passage d’une économie post-industrielle à une économie du savoir a favorisé l’économisation de la culture ainsi que la culturalisation de l’économie. Néanmoins, si l’entrepreneur dans la culture se trouve sous les projecteurs des politiques et des acteurs économiques, les contributions à la production scientifique restent encore modestes. Pourtant, si nous souhaitons favoriser son développement, il importe d’affiner notre connaissance de cet acteur. Aussi, ce projet de thèse souhaite contribuer à combler le fossé entre une surexposition politique, économique, médiatique, et une sous-exposition au sein de la recherche. Plus précisément, il fournit des éléments de repère favorisant la construction d’un écosystème et d’outils d’accompagnement aidant les entrepreneurs à croître avec succès. À cette fin, ce travail cherche à saisir la façon dont leurs acteurs inscrivent les projets entrepreneuriaux dans leurs trajectoires professionnelles. Il s’agit de comprendre ce qui les guide lors de leur prise de décisions et de leurs actions quant à la création ou au développement d’une organisation, ainsi que la façon dont celle-ci s’articule avec leurs projets de vie. Cette thèse donne ainsi des éléments de réponses à la question de recherche suivante : comment le couple acteur/projet évolue-t-il au cours du processus entrepreneurial? En termes méthodologiques, je m’inscris dans les approches narratives, dont l’objet d’étude est le récit de vie (Bertaux, 2005). Cette approche implique d’analyser et de comprendre les situations à partir du vécu des individus (Sanséau, 2005). Le processus entrepreneurial est ainsi abordé au travers de narrations, afin de comprendre les interprétations des participants d’eux-mêmes, du projet entrepreneurial et de leur environnementArt entrepreneurs have always existed. However, some auteurs highlight the recent attention this figure received from politics and economics actors. Ellmeier (2003), by example, explains that the shift from post-industrial to knowledge society promoted the emergence of this figure. However, if art and cultural entrepreneurs interest economics and politics actors, contributions to scientific research are still modest.Nevertheless, if we want to encourage its development, it’s important to refine our knowledge on this figure. This is why, this thesis aims to bridge the gap between an over-exposure in society and an under-exposure in the scientific work. The main purpose is to produce a better understanding of this figure. Which would give us elements contributing to build an ecosystem and create support programs, that would help cultural entrepreneurs to develop their business with success.To this end, this project seeks to capture the way entrepreneurs projects fit into their professional trajectories. More specifically, it is about understanding what guides these actors in their decisions and actions, when they create and develop an organization and how they relate to their life projects. More specifically, I focus on this research question : How does the actor-project couple evolves during the entrepreneurial process?To answer, I use narrative methodology. This approach implies to observe situations from the individuals lives experiences. Namely, entrepreneurial process is viewed through actors representations of themselves, of the entrepreneurial project and of their environment

Matina, Ekaterina, and Melchior Colmant. "Exploring entrepreneurial attitudes towards change throughout the development of the start-up project." Thesis, Umeå University, Umeå School of Business, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-1971.
Full textAbstract:
Many authors (refer: Swayne and Tucker, 1973; Kahneman and Lovallo, 1994; Baron, 1998; Stewart et al., 1998; Simon et al., 1999; Simon and Houghton, 2003; Baum and Lock, 2004; Mathews, 2008) have examined the traits and skills of the entrepreneur. Others have been more interested in their behaviors (refer: Bhave, 1994; Byers et al., 1997; Sarasvathy, 2001; Shook et al., 2003; Baron, 2007; Davidsson, 2008), trying to describe the entrepreneurial processes on the initial stages of venture development. However, studies that try to define how an entrepreneur reacts when facing changes have not been found in the literature. The focus of this research is thus, to explore the attitude of the entrepreneur towards changes throughout the development of the start-up project.
The theoretical background is divided into three main parts: the entrepreneurial attitude, the attitude towards change, and the relation between perceptions of organizational climate and attitudes. The first section reviews the literature about the traits and behaviors that define an entrepreneur. The second section concentrates on research papers concerning the attitude towards change for middle managers in well-established firms. Finally, the third section, through a review of the relevant literature, emphasizes the importance of the impact of the working environment perception on people’s attitude towards work.
The approach of this qualitative study is inductive at first, but also incorporates a deductive approach during the data analysis using a grounded theory method. The data were gathered through seven semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs from Cyprus, India, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Sweden.
The outcome of the present study is a model emphasizing the main results of the research. It presents three main reasons (interest/work experience in the business area, definition of the gap in the market, and desire to create) that lead to the decision to initiate the project. The market and future perception, as they have an impact on the actual start of the process, are presented and discussed as well. Concerning the attitude towards changes occurring during the process, four different reactions have been found to be relevant (adaptation, search for assistance, determination/commitment, and passion/persistence). Furthermore, the help provided by the learning experience, the social networking, and the future planning to overcome changes were also identified. Finally, the perception by the entrepreneur of the change and the overall process are explained.

Poidi, Kanina Irène. "Processus d'innovation dans l'entrepreneuriat : la place des artefacts dans l'activité en équipe-projet." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSE2010/document.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse défend un modèle de l’entrepreneuriat en équipe en tant que processus dynamique, en évolution au niveau global et systémique, médiatisé par les TIC. Nous présentons l’entrepreneuriat en équipe comme une activité en contexte, qui s’incarne dans une culture, une histoire, un environnement, et qui se développe au travers même des moments d’interaction qu’elle génère. Ces moments de coopération et de coordination en équipes localisées, ou multi-localisées (Vacherand-Revel, 2017) constituent des espaces d’intersubjectivité (Zarifian 1996) dans lesquels différents artefacts entrent en jeu. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que ces artefacts dans l’activité vont participer activement au développement de l’activité entrepreneuriale innovante en servant de support à la formation des équipes, à l’élaboration des idées, et à la conception. Basées sur un protocole méthodologique qualitatif et développemental, nos analyses mettent en évidence plusieurs facteurs et ressources de l’activité, notamment le dispositif de formation entrepreneuriale, et les artefacts mobilisés par les acteurs. Ces artefacts dans l’activité (Adé, 2000), sont transformés en artefacts de l’activité au cours de processus de genèse instrumentale (Rabardel, 1995). Ils peuvent alors prendre un statut d’objets intermédiaires (Vinck, 1999, 2009) ou d’objets-frontières (Star, 2010, Vinck, 2009) au sein de l’activité. Les analyses montrent le rôle prépondérant de l’objet d’innovation, qui est l’œuvre commune de l’équipe. Il est à la fois un aboutissement et un point de départ permettant le développement des intentions de l’équipe et de la trajectoire du projet. L’objet d’innovation nait d’un processus de conception et de création (Almudever, 2012). Ces analyses montrent l’interdépendance des situations de coopération et de conception collective dans la formalisation de l’objet d’innovation. La nature du projet entrepreneurial, objet construit et en construction, souligne l’intérêt d’un dialogue entre théories de l’activité et théories de l’actionThis thesis defends a model of entrepreneurship as a dynamic, global and systemic process, mediated by technologies. We present entrepreneurship as an activity in context, embodied in a culture, a story, an environment, and which develops itself through interactions. The moments of cooperation and coordination in localized teams, or multi-localized teams (Vacherand-Revel, 2017) constitute spaces of intersubjectivity (Zarifian 1996) in which different artefacts are used. We hypothesize that these artifacts in the activity will actively participate in the development of innovative entrepreneurial activity by providing support for team training, idea development, and design. Based on a qualitative and developmental methodological protocol, the analysis highlights several factors and resources of the activity, in particular the entrepreneurial training device, and the artefacts mobilized by the actors. These artifacts in the activity (Adé, 2000) are transformed into artifacts of the activity during instrumental genesis processes (Rabardel, 1995). They can then take a status of intermediate objects (Vinck, 1999, 2009) or boundary objects (Star, 2010, Vinck, 2009) within the activity. The analysis shows the predominant role of the innovation object, which is a common production of the team. It is both an outcome and a starting point for the development of intentions and the trajectory of the project. The innovation object arises from a process of design and creation (Almudever, 2012). This research shows the interdependence of the situations of cooperation and collective design in the formalization of the innovation object. The nature of the entrepreneurial project – an object built and under construction - highlights the interest of a dialogue between Activity theory and Action theories

Full textAbstract:
The success of the new product development (NPD) process is vital for the survival of projects. Especially for small entrepreneurial projects that try to survive in a very competitive environment, affected by constant market and technical changes. Previous literature emphasize the importance of the generation of new ideas, to improve the product concept during the pre-development stage, but it did not pay a lot of attention to the sources of ideas. For this reason, this study aims to develop the knowledge concerning the sources of ideas of small entrepreneurial projects, during the fuzzy front-end (FFE). The literature review of this study presents the previous researches that relate to the sources of ideas, during the idea generation stage of the FFE. The structure of the existing model, integrating the sources of ideas, is based on three categories: environmental scanning, innovative organizational culture and joint research. An inductive study and a research, based on the analysis of one small high-tech entrepreneurial project, were conducted to cover the literature gap. This choice of methodology reflects the experimental purpose of this research. The empirical data are only primary data, collected by analyzing the diaries of the two entrepreneurs involved in the project. Our findings reveal that contact with lead user, entrepreneur experience, customer involvement, brainstorming sessions, competitor analysis, resource constraints and prototype conception represent the main sources of ideas of small entrepreneurial projects in the FFE. The practical purpose of this study is to offer some advices to entrepreneurs of small entrepreneurial projects for accessing to sources of ideas, during the idea generation stage of the FFE, and manage their impact on the development of the product concept. The theoretical implications contribute to the identification of new sources of ideas and a proposition of framework of their impact.

Benamar, Said. "A Case Study on Undergraduate Entrepreneurial Constructivist Learning in Morocco." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2020.
Full textAbstract:
Jobs are available for university graduates with entrepreneurship skills, but unemployment in Morocco persists because of the dissociation between university entrepreneurship graduate skills and professional market demand. While university graduates have achieved academic standards, they have lacked the entrepreneurial attributes to be employable. The purpose of this case study was to explore the use of entrepreneurship learning initiatives at Université Internationale de Casablanca (UIC), a private for-profit university, to promote students' employability. The constructivism and learning paradigm frameworks served as the theoretical foundations of this project study. The research questions addressed the effectiveness of entrepreneurship learning strategies in the promotion of students' employment and self-employment and what challenged their implementation at UIC. Data were collected from 11 individual interviews with students, academic leaders, and business professionals and from accreditation application documents. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and hand analyzed for the discovery of thematic codes. Results indicated that the implementation of a capstone project model could cultivate entrepreneurial student experience. It was recommended that comprehensive business plan capstone projects presented the opportunity of integrating experiential learning activities and assessment tools to develop the entrepreneurial mindset of undergraduate students and increase their affective attachment to the course and the university. Implications for social positive change included the use of entrepreneurship learning to foster internal collaboration among faculty, promote university external partnerships, and create an experiential learning environment that motivates students to learn and achieve professional immersion.

Full textAbstract:
La formation professionnelle à l'Entrepreneuriat (création d'entreprise, conseil en entreprise, intrapreneuriat) procède de trois dimensions indissociables : structurale, cognitive et praxéologique. Les interactions entre ces trois dimensions en font des facteurs clés de réussite du projet entrepreneurial : le facteur structural renvoie à la problématique de la mise en place de l'entreprise, le facteur cognitif renvoie aux contenus de la formation comme ressources stratégiques ouvrant sur le monde de l'entreprise dans toutes ses dimensions et le facteur praxéologique renvoie à la démarche de projet en formation. Dans le contexte de l'Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), la formation professionnelle à l'entrepreneuriat dispensée par l'Institut de la Francophonie pour l'Entrepreneuriat (IFE), situé à l'université de Réduit, à l'île Maurice, s'inscrit dans un vaste réseau de partenaires, administré par l'Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF). L'émergence de l'entrepreneur francophone passe par son entrée en formation professionnelle auprès de formateurs francophones internationaux, par la prise de risque au retour dans son pays et par l'appui d'un réseau de partenaires financiers et commerciaux francophones. L'intérêt de la thèse réside dans la capacité à en faire émerger les aspects fondamentaux par la recherche sur la formation professionnelle à l'Entrepreneuriat, et, à partir des aspects appliqués, à développer les singularités propres au contexte de la francophonie et à l'expérience de l'IFE.

Madureira, Ana Mafalda. "(Re)acting the city. Physical planning practices and challenges in urban development projects of the Entrepreneurial City." Doctoral thesis, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, Institutionen för fysisk planering, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:bth-00583.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to traceand discuss the practices and challenges of physical planning within an Entrepreneurial City approach to urban policy. The research aim is addressed by focusing on three questions: 1) how have the practices of physicalplanning been influenced by the context of an Entrepreneurial City approach to urban policy 2) how has physical planning responded to this urban policy context, and 3) which potential dilemmas for physical planning practice derive from this new context? By an Entrepreneurial City approach tourban policy I understand an approach whereby there is an attention placed over strategies to promote local economic growth and attract investments, companies and specific types of people in to the city. Arguably urban policies focus less on welfare-related and redistribution strategies. There is an adoption of private sector discourses and tools to promote the city as a place to live, work and invest in. These discourses and tools pass through place-making strategies, marketing, engagement in speculative, risk-taking market-led projects, and seeking partners with whom to establish alliances that will serve to promote the city. The strong emphasis of Entrepreneurial City approaches on interventions over the built environment of a city or neighborhood implies a greater attention to what is happening to the practices of physical planning in municipalities that have adopted this approach. Existing studies tend to emphasize that it signifies a decrease in the scope of influence for public sector, and by extention for physical planning, in the governance and steering of these projects. The dissertation focuses on large-scale urban development projects – Brunnshög, in Lund, and Bo01, Norra Sorgenfri and Hyllie, in Malmö. The projects were chosen due to their likelihood toillustrate physical planning practices marked by an Entrepreneurial City approach. The main findings of this thesis refute the idea of a turn in urban policy towards entrepreneurial city approaches, and illustrate instead a process by which new practices and values coincide with previously established settings and practices. Physical planning is adopting the discourses of an urban policy approach where intercity competition for new industries (preferably in knowledge-intensive sectors) and residents(preferably the “creative classes”) guide urban development projects. The governance setting is marked by the need to establish working networks and partnerships that will create the capacity to act. Experimentation, piece-meal approaches and inter-project learning mark the adaptation strategies to an urban policy context that is still changing. Potential dilemmas lie in the fragmented character of the partnerships required to execute the projects, and in the assumption that these projects will result in the rehabilitation of the socio-economic trends of the city and promote local economic growth. Additionally the resulting built environments are prone to processes of gentrification and displacement, and spatial and socioeconomic polarization.

Full textAbstract:
Teaching students entrepreneurial skills and the utility of cross-disciplinary teams is difficult if only classroom exercises are employed. In this program, university students worked together with commercial artists and business-persons residing in our declining downtown region to assist in the organization, planning and management of an established regional arts festival and to launch a new feature of the festival based on digital animation. Through experiential learning, students gained an appreciation for “real-life” budgets, deadlines, responsibilities and an appreciation of working on cross-disciplinary teams while the community observed first-hand the benefits of students trained in digital media, entrepreneurship and project management.

Crookes, Deborah. "Conceptualizing entrepreneurship in music: A project-based view of entrepreneurship in high art music performance." Thesis, Mälardalen University, School of Sustainable Development of Society and Technology, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-851.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of entrepreneurship in research and society has been firmly rooted in the realm of economics and business. This narrow focus excludes a large number of entrepreneurial acts that occur outside of economic contexts. The discipline of high art music performance is rich with innovative acts that challenge the boundaries of conventional practices. However, these acts largely go unnoticed because of the strength of the bond between entrepreneurship and economics. In this research paper, a literature review will be used to examine how entrepreneurship can best be conceptualized in the discipline of high art music performance. It is argued here that a project-based view of entrepreneurship (Lindgren & Packendorff 2003) provides a valuable conceptualization to understand entrepreneurship in high art music performance. This conceptualization is then applied to three case studies of Canadian high art music performers. The case study uses the musicians' narrative accounts to provide illustrations of the project-based nature of entrepreneurship in music performance. It is hoped that the findings from this investigation provides further support for a project-based view of entrepreneurship and a starting ground to develop more effective tools to support and develop entrepreneurship in music through education and policy development.

Full textAbstract:
The long-term goal of this project was to inform the design of an entrepreneurial-focused charter school utilizing school-based enterprises (SBEs) to anchor a project-based learning (PBL) curriculum. The study was two parts: 1) to determine the extent of schools utilizing this innovative approach to teach an entrepreneurial-centered curriculum, and 2) to perform and initial feasibility study to determine potential for developing this school in Stockton, California. A content analysis supplemented with interviews and correspondences was used to determine that few, if any, schools in the United States emphasize entrepreneurship and utilize SBEs to support PBL. The feasibility study employed the expertise of education and business leaders to determine that the model has conditional strength. To be successful, the model must build on certain success factors, strong mission and leadership, well developed PBL curriculum and training, and community support, while addressing the legal and logistical challenges of operating school-wide SBEs in a high school environment.

Full textAbstract:
L’entrepreneuriat en équipe constitue une réalité, diversement mesurée, de la conduite des entreprises. La recherche s’est intéressée à cette dimension du phénomène entrepreneurial. Dans ce travail, nous nous appuyons sur l’attente de l’individu entrepreneur afin de qualifier l’effectivité de l’équipe au sens de la satisfaction de ses membres, dans une perspective de pérennisation de l’acte entrepreneurial. Le secteur de l’agriculture offre un terrain qui intéresse la recherche. Le renouvellement des chefs d’entreprises, l’évolution du métier, l’agrandissement des structures productives, plaident pour un développement de formes sociétaires impliquant plusieurs exploitants propriétaires. La psychologie comportementale et la socio-psychologie nous aident à percevoir les attentes de l’entrepreneur dans le cadre d’un entrepreneuriat à plusieurs. L’installation dans un cadre d’équipe entrepreneuriale est largement mise en avant lors d’une étude par les modèles d’intention, auprès d’étudiants. Nous interrogeons, par la suite, des agriculteurs sur leur vécu, au regard de leurs aspirations initiales. Les analyses des organisations professionnelles portent ces sujets et viennent conforter notre problématique. Nous proposons un éclairage nouveau sur l’équipe entrepreneuriale et des pistes de réflexion pour l’accompagnement dans ce contexteTeam entrepreneurship is a reality for many businesses. Research works aim to study this side of management phenomenon. For this contribution we examine the individual expectation for self-employment and describe the effectiveness of the team, in the sense of satisfaction of the members, as an element for the survival of the business. The farm sector gives the opportunity for our discipline to examine this form of entrepreneurship. Farms succession, the size of the enterprises, justifies the development of multi owner organisations. Behavioural psychology and social psychology, help us to analyse the entrepreneur believes. Entrepreneurial initiative in a team context is widely mentioned by students, in a study based on entrepreneurial intention models. Then we ask farmers about the reality of their situation in regards of initial expectations. We challenge the professional organisations analysis to confirm our research.We offer to have a new approach of team entrepreneurship, helping entrepreneurs and consultants toward durability of the project.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund
Entreprenörer som startar nya företag kommer troligtvis att behöva antingen kapital, eller kompetens i hur ett företag drivs, men mest sannolikt är att de behöver både och. Affärs-änglar är individer som investerar sina privata pengar mestadels i företag som befinner sig i en utvecklingsfas eller en tidig tillväxtfas. Affärsänglar kan också bidra med icke-finansiella resurser till företag såsom kompetens, färdigheter, kunskap och erfarenhet.
Problem/Syfte
Vad kan entreprenörer som är i behov av både kapital och kompetens göra för att hitta den ”rätta” affärsängeln, hur kan entreprenören attrahera denna, samt vilka faktorer är avgö-rande för att en arbetsrelation med en affärsängel ska bli lyckad? Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån entreprenören som investeringsobjekt så väl som kapitalsökare, beskriva olika faktorer som entreprenörer kan beakta för att öka sina möjligheter till att inleda och genomföra ett lyckat samarbete med en affärsängel.
Slutsats
Vi fann ett antal faktorer som kan påverka utgången av en arbetsrelation med en affärsäng-el. Dessa är den personliga relationen, att entreprenörens behov stämmer överens med vad affärsängeln kan erbjuda, överensstämmande avsikter, och ett väl genomarbetat aktieägar-avtal.
Background
Entrepreneurs who start a new venture will probably need either capital, or competence in how to run a business, but most likely they need them both. Business angels are individuals who invest their private money in companies in a start-up or early growth phase. Business angels can also contribute non-financial resources to companies such as competence, skills, knowledge and experience.
Problem/Purpose
What can entrepreneurs who are in need of both capital and competence do to find the “right” business angel, how can they attract these investors, and which factors are decisive for a successful working relationship with a business angel? The purpose of this thesis is, with a starting point in the entrepreneur as an investment project and capital seeker, to de-scribe a number of factors entrepreneurs can consider in order to increase their possibilities in initiating and carrying out a successful working relationship with a business angel.
Conclusion
The authors found a number of factors affecting the outcome of a working relationship with a business angel. These are the personal relationship, a match between the entrepre-neur’s needs and the business angel’s competence, an agreed agenda, and a thoroughly worked out shareholder agreement.

Full textAbstract:
Construction industry leaders who neglect to implement appropriate project funding strategies harm business operations and lose profits. Inadequate funding is also a significant cause of project failures in the global construction sector. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies construction project owners use to secure sustainable funding for the successful conclusion of infrastructure projects. The population comprised 5 leaders of organizations owning construction projects in the Middle Eastern Gulf Cooperation Council states, with successful strategies to acquire adequate funding for completing infrastructure projects. Data were collected from semistructured interviews with the business leaders and reports published by prominent organizations involved in funding infrastructure projects. The modern portfolio theory formulated the conceptual framework. Through thematic analysis, 5 themes emerged: address project funding issues promptly, select projects with high returns and low risks, use project financial management processes to manage project funds, apply a project finance structure for large-scale projects, and implement an Islamic finance scheme for eligible projects. The potential contributions of the study include communities benefitting from improved well-being and construction business employees enjoying higher job security, enhanced working conditions, and better standards of living for their families.

Mestrado em Ciências EmpresariaisDevido à elevada complexidade reconhecida no processo de criação e desenvolvimento de um negócio empreendedor, são já muitos os estudos que procuram responder à grande questão: o que potencia ou estimula verdadeiramente a ação empreendedora? Sabendo que os comportamentos adotados pelo indivíduo são influenciados ou condicionados pela Cultura Nacional do seu país, seria de antecipar que esta poderá representar um significativo preditor da Atividade Empreendedora (AE). Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar e aferir em que medida ou em que condições a Cultura Nacional influencia os níveis de AE de cada país. Tendo como base o trabalho científico Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) que caracteriza as sociedades tendo em conta 9 Dimensões Culturais, e utilizando os dados relativos à Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) do Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), confirmou-se neste estudo uma relação significativa entre a Cultura Nacional e a AE. Culturas caracterizadas por: elevada Uncertainty Avoidance (Aversão à Incerteza) e Power Distance (Distância ao Poder), fraco In-group Collectivism (Coletivismo de Grupo) e elevada Performance Orientation (Orientação para a Desempenho) e Humane Orientation (Orientação Humana), potenciam o crescimento da AE. Pretendeu-se também analisar se esta relação significativa se verifica quando a motivação para empreender é justificada pela Necessidade (Necessity-Driven Entrepreneurial Activity). Neste caso, os resultados demonstram que a relação entre as Dimensões Culturais são ainda mais significativas, agregando a relação significativa com mais duas dimensões, elevada Institutional Collectivism (Coletivismo Institucional) e fraca Future Orientation (Orientação para o Futuro).
Due to the high recognized complexity in the process of creation and development of an entrepreneurial business, there are many studies seeking to answer the big question: what truly potentiates or stimulates the entrepreneurial action' Knowing that the behaviors adopted by the individual are influenced or conditioned by its country National Culture, it would be predictable that it can represent a significant predictor of the Entrepreneurial Activity (EA). So, the purpose of this study was to analyze and check in what dimension or in what conditions, the National Culture influences the levels of EA from each country. Based on the scientific work Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE), which characterizes societies base on 9 Cultural Dimensions, and using the data related to the Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), it was confirmed on this study a meaningful relationship between the National Culture and the EA. Cultures characterized by: high Uncertainty Avoidance and Power Distance, weak In-group Collectivism and high Performance Orientation and Humane Orientation, enhance the growth of EA. It was also intended to analyze if this meaningful relationship was confirmed, when the entrepreneurship motivation is justified by the Need (Necessity-Driven Entrepreneurial Activity). In this case, the results show that the relationship between the Cultural Dimensions are even more significant, adding a meaningful relationship with two more cultural dimensions, high Institutional Collectivism and weak Future Orientation.

Project development and so its management, is a strategy commonly used by companies while working on search of their goals. The large use of this strategy evolves parallel to an awareness of the importance of achieving success over the strategy application, in other words, projects success. This awareness is clearly visible over the number of studies concerning the understanding of variables affecting projects success. Similarly, entrepreneurial orientation is a research topic with consolidated significance in the entrepreneurship research field, and with significant developments over the last decades. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) of organizations over the project’s success (PS) developed by them. The methodology that grounded this research is the quantitative analysis, through the structural equation modeling (SEM) method, and using survey as the data-gathering tool to find 100 valid answers. The main result observed was the positive relation between the Entrepreneurial Orientation of organizations and the project’s success developed by them, allowing the development of this research subject in the academic area, as well as the deduction of corporative practices that could contribute to projects success. In the practical way, it was possible to recognize one more benefit that will join the team of benefits generated by EO, among others that were already been verified in other researches.
O desenvolvimento de projetos, e sua consequente gestão, é uma estratégia comumente adotada por empresas na busca por seus objetivos. O grande uso desta estratégia evolui de forma paralela à preocupação com a importância de se obter sucesso no seu desenvolvimento, ou seja, o sucesso em projetos. Esta preocupação é claramente visível considerando o número de estudos que abrangem a compreensão das variáveis que afetam o sucesso em projetos. De forma semelhante, a orientação empreendedora é um tema de pesquisa com importância consolidada no campo de pesquisa englobado pelo empreendedorismo e com evoluções importantes nas últimas décadas. Este estudo buscou propor um modelo que relacione a orientação empreendedora (OE) de organizações sobre o sucesso em projetos (SP) por ela desenvolvidos. A metodologia desenvolvida esteve pautada na análise quantitativa, valendo-se do método de modelagem de equações estruturais (MEE) e tendo como ferramenta de coleta de dados uma survey, que obteve 100 respostas válidas. O principal resultado observado foi a verificação de uma relação positiva entre a orientação empreendedora das organizações para com o sucesso dos projetos por ela desenvolvidos, permitindo tanto o desenvolvimento desta temática de pesquisa do ponto de vista acadêmico, como a dedução de práticas corporativas que possam contribuir para o sucesso dos projetos. No contexto prático, foi possível reconhecer mais um benefício gerado pela EO, que se unirá aqueles já verificados em outras pesquisas.

This study proposes to contribute to the knowledge of the entrepreneurship from the spin-off from university. It aims to better understand the problems encountered by students and researchers in this process. A qualitative and longitudinal approach allowed for the examination of the performance and the evolutions of the support structures of firm creation in the territory of Nancy. During the five years of study, the behaviours and practices observed between the local territorial development actors changed considerably. This observation has allowed the carrier of innovative projects to integrate the characteristics of the milieu within which they are anchored. The longitudinal approach enabled for the consideration of the management structure within the organisations followed. One of the central elements rests on the analysis of the relationship between the members of the team of creators. This second section treats the different phases of the entrepreneurial situation along with the vision of the entrepreneur. The ensemble of the results sought to shed light on the theory of entrepreneurship and to make practical propositions to creators, public powers, and local actors of territorial developmentCette recherche se propose de contribuer à la connaissance du processus entrepreneurial au départ de l'Université. Elle vise à mieux connaître les problèmes rencontrés par les créateurs étudiants et chercheurs de "spin-off". L'approche qualitative et longitudinale permet d'approcher tout d'abord les logiques de fonctionnement et les évolutions de l'accompagnement à la création d'entreprises sur le territoire nancéien. Sur près de cinq ans de suivi, les comportements et les pratiques observés entre ces acteurs locaux du développement territorial ont considérablement été modifiés. Ce constat invite les porteurs de projet innovant à intégrer les caractéristiques du milieu auquel ils sont ancrés. L'approche dans la durée permet ensuite d'envisager l'organisation de la conduite interne des entreprises retenues. Un des éléments centraux porte notamment sur l'analyse de la relation entre les membres de l'équipe de créateurs. Cette seconde partie traite des différentes phases de ces situations entrepreneuriales ainsi que de la vision de l'entrepreneur. L'ensemble des résultats observés a pour objet à la fois d'éclairer une lecture théorique et de faire des propositions pratiques aux créateurs, pouvoirs publics et acteurs locaux du développement territorial

Full textAbstract:
The business of real estate is one of the largest suppliers of employment, and contributes significantly to the gross domestic product of numerous countries worldwide. It is, therefore, imperative that new real estate development entrepreneurs entering the market identify key competitiveness indicators in order to survive and ensure their success within an ever-changing market. However, property development is a complex process and considered to be 'too risky' Consequently, property development entrepreneurs lack the skills and expertise to effectively manage their business enterprises and the associated risks from project inception to completion, and commissioning. The study was conducted by means of a review of the related literature and by conducting an empirical study. The empirical study was conducted using a quantitative statistical approach by distributing research questionnaires to members falling within the sample population. The primary objective of the study was to develop an entrepreneurial framework for perceived success of new venture property development projects. A descriptive survey was conducted among professionals registered with the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) and property development practitioners within South Africa. The salient findings suggest that the following variables positively influence the perceived success of new venture property development projects: Entrepreneurial vision; Strategic management; Stakeholders‘ interests; Professional feasibility and viability reporting; Procurement; Communication; Consumer confidence; Risk management; Governance structures; Specialist advice; The entrepreneurial framework, and The project management body of knowledge (PMBOK). Furthermore, the following variables were identified in the empirical framework affecting the perceived success of new venture property development projects: Entrepreneurial Vision; Strategic Management; Stakeholders‘ Interest; Professional Feasibility and Viability Reporting; Procurement; Communication; Consumer Confidence; Risk Management; Governance Structures; Specialist Advice, and The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). This study contributed to the South African property development body of knowledge by addressing the challenges faced by inexperienced entrepreneurs entering the property development market. Furthermore, this study aimed to improve the framework utilised by emerging property developers.

L'étude des facteurs psychosociaux qui déterminent les comportements liés à la création d'entreprise est essentielle à l'explication de l'intention entrepreneuriale et du processus cognitif de sa transformation en action. Dans cette perspective nous nous sommes intéressés à la dynamique personnelle impliquée dans les conduites de création d'entreprise. Trois catégories de personnes ont participé à cette étude : les étudiants, les entrepreneurs en création et les entrepreneurs actifs. Cela nous a permis de contourner la difficulté méthodologique liée à la réalisation d'une observation longitudinale. A partir de la littérature internationale sur le sujet, nous présentons l'entrepreneuriat comme un processus téléologique qui s'élabore dans le temps. Ainsi, nous avons construit un modèle d'analyse par équations structurales établissant les liens entre les variables déterminantes de l'intention entrepreneuriale, les variables intermédiaires en particulier en référence au modèle du comportement planifié, à celui de Gollwitzer sur les phases de l'action et à Kuhl sur le contrôle de l'action et les conduites de création d'entreprise. Nos résultats nous ont permis de proposer un modèle théorique dit de la hiérarchisation de la mobilisation des capacités volitionnelles. Son postulat est semblable à celui de la théorie des besoins de Maslow. Toutefois, contrairement à la pyramide des besoins, nous faisons l'hypothèse d'une remobilisation possible des capacités volitionnelles d'une phase inférieure du processus

Full textAbstract:
L'étude de la relation entre le projet d'Établissement et le projet managérial se définit à partir de courants de pensée en mesure d'éclairer notre recherche, alliant constructivisme et théorie de Giddens. À la lumière de voies intermédiaires existantes, l'analyse du secteur social et médico-social est généralement menée sous l'approche de contraintes environnementales et principalement dans le choix d'orientations stratégiques à travers l'innovation, la complexité et la gestion de l'incertitude. Notre travail de recherche vise à mesurer le degré de potentialité qui s'exerce entre les projets. Celui-ci repose sur deux visions ; la première vision se donne pour objectif d'identifier les éléments de la structuration humaine et les éléments de la construction de la relation ; la seconde vision tend à déterminer le degré d'influence de la théorie de Giddens sur la proposition d'un modèle d'organisation et de pilotage. Dans un souci de rationaliser notre recherche, elle se concentrera autour de cette théorie. La question est de savoir si les entreprises développent leur stratégie dans une vision disjonctive des projets ou bien dans la définition et la mise en action dialogique de principes managériaux fortement influencés par l'innovation. Compte tenu de l'environnement de proximité, d'une gouvernance où le manager détient la vision stratégique, du recours à des comportements entrepreneuriaux, il apparaît que les entreprises, définies en communauté, sont en mesure d'établir une relation en marge des contraintes imposées par le contexte et lutter contre le statu quo. Afin de mesurer le degré de potentialité de la relation, nous avons fait le choix de conduire notre recherche auprès de cinq cas cliniques. Le sens de cette contribution est de mettre en avant un style de management ainsi qu'une nouvelle perspective de structuration de l'organisation. À la lumière de nos entretiens et à l'exploitation quantitative et qualitative, il en ressort que les projections de mise en relation des projets constituent un élément applicable voire incontournable de survie des organisations. Si la liberté d'y recourir demeure entière, il n'en reste pas moins que les entreprises qui y renoncent, s'exposent à des choix stratégiques douloureux en regard de l'intensité de l'environnementThe study of the relationship between the enterprise project and the managerial project is defined according to several theories that are likely to enlighten our research, intermingling constructivism and Giddens's theory. In the light of the already existing intermediary media, the analysis on both social and medico-social fields is usually led, taking into account environmental constraints, ant particularly in the choice of strategic orientations, via innovation, complexity and how to handle uncertainty. Our research aims at measuring the level of potentiality that exists between the projects. This level is grounded in two visions? the first one?s goal is to identify the elements of humane structuralization along with the elements of relationship building; the second vision tries to determine the level of influence of Giddens?s theory on an attempt to suggest a model of organization and piloting. Being concerned about rationalizing our research, it will focus on this theory. The question is to know whether enterprises develop their strategy in a disjunctive vision of the projects, or in the definition and a dialogic implementation of managerial principles deeply influenced by innovation. Given the environment of proximity in a governing where the manager holds the strategic vision, of the use of managerial behaviors, it appears that enterprises, defined as communities, are capable of establishing a relationship that can do without the constraints imposed by the context and also fight status quo. So as to measure the level of potentiality of the relationship, our choice was to lead our research on five clinical cases. The meaning of this contribution is to highlight a managerial style and also a new perspective for structuring the organization. Our interviews and a quantitative and qualitative analyses made us notice that projections of linking the projects represent an applicable and even inescapable element for the survival of organizations. If they are at liberty to use them, it remains nevertheless that the enterprises that give it up, take the risk of exposing themselves to painful strategic choices due to the intensity of the environment

A crescente competição mundial exige que as empresas tomem decisões rápidas e, ao mesmo tempo, cada vez mais adequadas. Em particular a decisão de investir, uma das mais importantes para a organização, precisa ser completamente sustentada. Todavia, o conhecimento produzido e disponível sobre projetos de investimentos dá maior importância aos aspectos financeiros, em detrimento da estratégia empresarial, além de envolver apenas a unidade de negócios em vez de toda a cadeia de suprimentos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi identificar quais as novas ocorrências e etapas que surgem na análise de projetos de investimento, a partir da adoção de uma visão estratégica e da expansão do seu enfoque tradicional, da unidade de negócio para o da cadeia de suprimentos. Entres os principais resultados obtidos, podem ser destacados: a elaboração de uma série de novas considerações estratégicas, voltadas à cadeia de suprimentos, que devem ser feitas nas etapas tradicionais de projetos de investimentos; a criação de duas novas etapas para o PI, que procuram analisar alguns fatores importantes na tomada de decisão de investir, mas que até então não recebiam grande atenção da literatura. Adicionalmente, foi realizado um estudo de caso, envolvendo três processos de investimentos distintos, que permitiu comparações entre os resultados alcançados e a realidade das empresas.The increasing world-wide competition demands companies to take decisions quick and precisely. In particular, the investment decision, one of the most important for organizations, requires to be supported. Nevertheless, the knowledge produced and available on investment projects gives greater importance to the financial aspects, in detriment of the enterprise strategy, besides involving only the business unit, rather than the entire supply chain. Therefore, the objective of this research was to identify which new occurrences and stages appears in the analysis of investment projects, from the adoption of an strategical vision and the expansion of its traditional approach, from the business unit through the supply chain. This research presents, as main results: a series of new strategical considerations, focusing the supply chain, that are relevant in the traditional stages of investment projects; the generation of two new stages for investment projects, in order to analyze important factors during investment decisions, which has not gained great attention from literature. Additionally, a case study was carried out, involving three distinct investments, allowing comparisons between the reached results and the reality of the companies.

This study considers four South African nanotechnology flagship projects and evaluates them using the Strategic Management of Innovation and entrepreneurial framework. The flagship projects span a variety of focus areas which include beneficiation of strong materials (platinum group materials), viral therapeutics (HIV, Hepatitis), development of ID nano-structures for nano electronics and fuel cell development. The study found that although projects were at the early stage and therefore dominated by research activities, they were not well aligned to later effectively capture value and take advantage of the existing innovation ecosystem. A number of recommendations were put forward emanating from the gap analysis studies.

Full textAbstract:
Le Business Model est une notion née au milieu des années 1990 avec le phénomène des start-up Internet. Largement employée dans la pratique, la notion est encore timidement utilisée par la communauté académique. Cette thèse se saisit de ce concept dans le domaine de l'entrepreneuriat et interroge son opérationnalité en contexte de création d'entreprise. Une première partie est consacrée à circonscrire le concept au moyen d'une revue de littérature. Le concept y apparaît comme véhiculant des informations relatives à la proposition de valeur, à sa fabrication, au modèle de revenus et plus largement aux échanges de valeur avec les parties prenantes. L'effort de clarification est complété par la présentation de notre proposition de conceptualisation. La théorie des parties prenantes et la Resource-Based-View sont convoquées et permettent d'appréhender les éléments qui composent le Business Model. La théorie des conventions permet quant à elle de comprendre la nature du Business Model, convention d'affaires partagée par l'ensemble des parties prenantes. Pour répondre à la question "le Business Model est-il opérationnel en contexte de création d'entreprise ?", nous avons choisi de mettre en oeuvre nous-même le BM auprès de six porteurs de projet au moyen d'un protocole de recherche action. A l'issue de la recherche, nous avons pu constater les apports récirpoques du terrain et de la théorie. Le retour à la théorie permet de mieux comprendre le BM comme étant une convention relative à la génération, à la rémunération et au partage de la valeurThe expression Business Model appaered in the mid-90's during the strat-up phenomenon. Largely employed by practitioners, the concept is not yet considered as a real research object by the academic community. This thesis uses the concept in Entrepreneurship and aims at answering the question. Is the Business Model and Operational Concept in the Firm Foundation Context ? The first part of the work tries to clarify the concept through the analysis of the existing works on it. The Business Model is about the value proposition of a firm, about how it is build, about the revenue models and the value exchanges with all the stakeholders. We also present our theoretical proposition based on three theories. The stakeholder theory and the resource-based-view allow addressing the question of the components of the Business Model, while the conventions theory helps understanding the nature of the Business Model, as a business convention shared by the stakeholders of a company. To answer the initial question, we choose to implement ourselves the Business Model with entrepreneurs through an action research process that implies both pratical and theoretical results. The Business Model appears as a convention related to the creation, the remuneration and the share of value

[ES] El interés de esta investigación se centra fundamentalmente en los siguientes aspectos. En primer lugar, exploramos cómo la literatura actual sobre el espíritu emprendedor de los estudiantes universitarios centrada en la "Global University Entrepreneurial Spirits Students Survey" (GUESSS), uno de los mayores proyectos de investigación relacionados, puede contribuir a la investigación sobre el espíritu emprendedor de los estudiantes universitarios y ayudar a los investigadores a utilizar esta base de datos. Este es el primer paso de este trabajo, ya que permitió identificar las áreas menos estudiadas en la literatura sobre el espíritu emprendedor de los estudiantes universitarios. En segundo lugar, ampliamos las investigaciones anteriores sobre los modelos de intención emprendedora (y la intención de sucesión) y vamos más allá de la intención al tomar la intención de implementación como un paso más cercano del comportamiento. Y, en tercer lugar, los resultados de este estudio ayudarían a dar consejos a las universidades, a los académicos y a los responsables políticos para construir una universidad emprendedora y, en definitiva, una sociedad emprendedora.
El objetivo principal de esta investigación es contribuir al estudio de las intenciones emprendedoras de los estudiantes universitarios. Más concretamente, los objetivos específicos de este trabajo están relacionados con 1) identificar las variables centrales que influyen en el emprendimiento de los estudiantes universitarios en la literatura sobre emprendimiento centrada en el proyecto GUESSS; 2) estudiar los efectos mediadores de los componentes de la TPB entre la educación emprendedora y la intención emprendedora; 3) analizar el efecto de la educación emprendedora teniendo en cuenta el papel de la universidad, la familia y el contexto social en los componentes de la TPB como antecedentes de la intención emprendedora; 4) reducir la brecha intención-conducta añadiendo la etapa intermedia de la intención de implementación y los efectos moderadores de la orientación a la meta y 5) explorar el fenómeno de la intención de sucesión.
Nuestro primer estudio muestra que la fase de intención es la etapa más estudiada del proceso empresarial. Sin embargo, existen ciertas áreas que deben ser abordadas y eso es precisamente lo que pretendemos conseguir con los siguientes estudios. Encontramos que el Aprendizaje del Programa afecta a la Intención Emprendedora a través de los componentes de la Teoría de la Acción Planificada (TAP). En este sentido, es importante destacar que las Normas Subjetivas no mediaron la relación entre el Aprendizaje del Programa y la Intención Emprendedora, sino que influyeron en la Intención Emprendedora a través de las Actitudes hacia el Emprendimiento y el Control Conductual Percibido (CCP). En cuanto a los efectos de la Educación Emprendedora, encontramos que esta variable actúa como moderadora, especialmente en la relación entre Actitudes hacia el Emprendimiento e Intención Emprendedora, Normas Subjetivas e Intención Emprendedora, y Contexto Familiar y Normas Subjetivas. A medida que avanzamos en el proceso emprendedor, nuestros resultados validaron el Modelo de Acontecimiento Emprendedor (MAE) para predecir las intenciones emprendedoras y, además, la elección de carrera emprendedora 5 años después de terminar los estudios moderó la relación entre la Intención Emprendedora y la Intención de Implementación. Por último, al analizar la Intención de Sucesión en las empresas familiares, nuestros resultados mostraron el impacto del Apoyo Parental en la Autoeficacia de la Empresa Familiar y en el compromiso con la empresa familiar. Además, nuestros resultados confirmaron un impacto positivo del compromiso con la empresa familiar en la Intención de Sucesión, especialmente el Compromiso Normativo.[CA] L'interés d'esta investigació se centra fonamentalment en els següents aspectes. En primer lloc, explorem com la literatura actual sobre l'esperit emprenedor dels estudiants universitaris centrada en la "Global University Entrepreneurial Spirits Students Survey" (GUESSS), un dels majors projectes d'investigació relacionats, pot contribuir a la investigació sobre l'esperit emprenedor dels estudiants universitaris i ajudar els investigadors a utilitzar esta base de dades. Este és el primer pas d'este treball, ja que va permetre identificar les àrees menys estudiades en la literatura sobre l'esperit emprenedor dels estudiants universitaris. En segon lloc, ampliem les investigacions anteriors sobre els models d'intenció emprenedora (i la intenció de successió) i anem més enllà de la intenció al prendre la intenció d'implementació com un pas més pròxim del comportament. I, en tercer lloc, els resultats d'aquest estudi ajudarien a donar consells a les universitats, als acadèmics i als responsables polítics per a construir una universitat emprenedora i, en definitiva, una societat emprenedora. L'objectiu principal d'esta investigació és contribuir a l'estudi de les intencions emprenedores dels estudiants universitaris. Més concretament, els objectius específics d'este treball estan relacionats amb 1) identificar les variables centrals que influïxen en l'emprendimiento dels estudiants universitaris en la literatura sobre emprendimiento centrada en el projecte GUESSS; 2) estudiar els efectes mediadors dels components de la TPB entre l'educació emprenedora i la intenció emprenedora; 3) analitzar l'efecte de l'educació emprenedora tenint en compte el paper de la universitat, la família i el context social en els components de la TPB com a antecedents de la intenció emprenedora; 4) reduir la bretxa intenció-conducta afegint l'etapa intermèdia de la intenció d'implementació i els efectes moderadors de l'orientació a la meta i 5) explorar el fenomen de la intenció de successió. El nostre primer estudi mostra que la fase d'intenció és l'etapa més estudiada del procés empresarial. No obstant això, existeixen unes certes llacunes en la literatura que han de ser abordades i això és precisament el que pretenem aconseguir amb els següents estudis. Trobem que l'Aprenentatge dels Programes Formatius afecta a la Intenció Emprenedora a través dels components de la Teoria de l'Acció Planificada (TAP). En aquest sentit, és important destacar que les Normes Subjectives no van mediar la relació entre l'Aprenentatge dels Programes Formatius i la Intenció Emprenedora, sinó que van influir en la Intenció Emprenedora a través de les Actituds cap a l'Emprenedoria i el Control Conductual Percebut (*CCP). Quant als efectes de l'Educació Emprenedora, trobem que aquesta variable actua com a moderadora, especialment en la relació entre Actitud cap a l'Emprenedoria i Intenció Emprenedora, Normes Subjectives i Intenció Emprenedora, i Context Familiar i Normes Subjectives. A mesura que avancem en el procés emprenedor, els nostres resultats van validar el Model d'Esdeveniment Emprenedor (*MAE) per a predir les intencions emprenedores i, a més, l'elecció de carrera emprenedora 5 anys després d'acabar els estudis va moderar la relació entre la Intencions Emprenedora i la Intenció d'Implementació. Finalment, en analitzar la Intenció de Successió en les empreses familiars, els nostres resultats van mostrar l'impacte del Suport Parental en l'Autoeficàcia de l'Empresa Familiar i en el compromís amb l'empresa familiar. A més, els nostres resultats van confirmar un impacte positiu del compromís amb l'empresa familiar en la Intenció de Successió, especialment el Compromís Normatiu.
[EN] The interest of this research focuses mainly on the following aspects. First, we explore how the current literature on university student entrepreneurship focused on the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirits Students Survey (GUESSS), one of the largest related research projects, can contribute to research on university student entrepreneurship and help researchers to use this database. This is the first step in this work as it allowed as to identify the main gaps in the literature of university student's entrepreneurship. Second, we extend previous research on the entrepreneurial intention models (and succession intention) and we go beyond the intention on taking implementation intention as a closer step of behavior. And third, the results of this study would help give advice to universities, academics and policymakers to build an entrepreneurial university and in short, an entrepreneurial society. The main goal of this research is to contribute to the study of entrepreneurial intentions of university student's entrepreneurship. More specifically, the specific objectives of this work are related to 1) identify the core variables influencing university student's entrepreneurship in the entrepreneurship literature focused on the GUESSS project; 2) study the mediating effects of the components of the TPB between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention; 3) analyze the effect of entrepreneurship education considering the role of the university, family, and social context on the components of the TPB as antecedents of entrepreneurial intention; 4) reduce the intention-behavior gap by adding the middle stage of implementation intention and the moderating effects of goal orientation and 5) explore the succession intention phenomena. Our first study shows that the intention phase is the most studied stage of the entrepreneurial process. However, there are certain gaps that need to be addressed and that is exactly what we intend to achieve with the following studies. We found that Program Learning affects Entrepreneurial Intention through the components of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). In this sense, it is important to highlight that Subjective Norms did not mediate the relation between Program Learning and Entrepreneurial Intention but influenced Entrepreneurial Intention through Attitudes toward Entrepreneurship and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC). As for the effects of Entrepreneurship Education, we found this variable acts as a moderator, especially in the relationship between Attitudes towards Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Intention, Subjective Norms and Entrepreneurial Intention, and Family Context and Subjective Norms. As we move through the entrepreneurial process, our results validated the Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM) to predict entrepreneurial intentions and in addition, the Entrepreneurial career choice 5 years after completing studies moderated the relationship between Entrepreneurial intention and Implementation Intention. Finally, when analyzing Succession Intention in family firms, our findings showed the impact of Parental Support in Family Business Self-Efficacy and in commitment to the family firm. Furthermore, our results confirmed a positive impact of the commitment to the family firm on Succession Intention, especially the Normative Commitment.

Ma thèse de doctorat traite de la sélection de projets d'innovation en entreprises, en utilisant les marchés de prédiction comme mécanisme de sélection alternatif. Le processus d'innovation et son évaluation sont des activités ayant des répercussions sur la croissance et le développement. L’évidence montre que les méthodes habituelles d'évaluation et de sélection de projets d’innovation, comme le processus en entonnoir, ne sont pas rentables. Proposer une méthode plus efficace contribuera de manière significative à une meilleure allocation des ressources. Dans la première partie de ma thèse, je teste les prévisions du marché de prédiction contre celles des experts. Dans la deuxième, j'examine les aspects comportementaux de la prise de décision sur le marché de prédiction entrepreneurial, notamment comment le biais d’optimisme influence les décisions des traders. J’ai mené pour ces parties des expériences avec des sujets humains. Dans la troisième partie, j'examine les propriétés et éléments clés des marchés de prédiction et fourni une chronique et une classification d’articles sur les contributions les plus importantes de la littérature dans ce sujetMy PhD thesis deals with selection of corporate and entrepreneurial innovation projects, using prediction markets as an alternative selection mechanism. Innovation process and its evaluation are two very important economic activities with repercussions for growth and development. Available evidence strongly suggests that conventional evaluation and selection methods, such as development funnel in corporate setting or decisions of Venture Capital firms in entrepreneurial one, do not yield cost-effective results. Coming up with an efficient and cost-effective method would contribute significantly to better resource allocation and social welfare. In the first part of the thesis, I test the prediction market predictions against experts’. In the second part, I examine behavioral aspects of decision-making in entrepreneurial prediction market setting, particularly how optimism bias influences traders’ decisions in prediction market. I conducted experiments with human subjects for the first two parts. In the third part of the thesis, I examine the most important elements and properties of prediction markets and provide a survey of most important contributions to prediction market literature, together with the classification and list of articles in major categories

Notre recherche porte sur l’évaluation du « satisficing organisationnel » du système de pilotage des entreprises à vocation sociale (EVS). Pour cela, nous mobilisons une méthodologie qualitative centrée sur deux études cas enchâssés, dont une en longitunale. Il s’agit de Sos Maintien à Domicile et l’Eveil, deux entreprises associatives dans le champs institutionnel du médico-social. Nous mettons en évidence trois niveaux de résultats. Tout d’abord, nous évaluons, à travers les cartes cognitives, le système de représentations partagées permettant d’évaluer le sentiment d’efficacité organisationnelle. Ensuite , à travers les comptes de surplus de productivité global, nous mesurons la performance économique et sociale. La convergence des deux premiers niveaux de résultats permet de statuer sur l’état positif ou négatif du satisficing organisationnel. Enfin, l’analyse des cas et leur confrontation avec le modèle conceptuel et la revue de littérature, nous permet de définir des variables essentielles dont le système de pilotage de l’EVS, représenté par le pouvoir managérial ,peut s’en servir dans les différentes modes de régulation du projetOur research focuses on the evaluation of the "organizational satisficing" of social purpose business (EVS). For this, we mobilize a qualitative methodology centered on two embedded case studies, including one in longitunale way. "Sos Maintien à Domicile" and "Eveil" are both two associative enterprises in the institutional medico-social care field. We highlight three levels of results. First, we evaluate, through the cognitive maps, the system of shared representations to assess the sense of organizational effectiveness. Then, through the global productivity surplus accounts, we measure the economic and social performance. The convergence of the first two levels of results allows to rule on the positive or negative state of organizational satisficing. Finally, the analysis of cases and confrontation with the conceptual model and the literature review, allows us to identify key variables with the EVS control system, represented by the managerial authority, can be used in various project control modes

La recherche a consisté à comprendre de quelle manière se forment les projets de création d’entreprise, afin de rendre compte de la spécificité des situations appréhendées par l’accompagnement et de la manière dont se combinent les logiques d’action et d’évolution du système entrepreneurial. La manière dont les décisions/actions du créateur d’entreprise contribuent à former le projet de création d’entreprise a été abordée dans une perspective cognitive qui rend compte des démarches de perception et d’interprétation de leur environnement par les créateurs d’entreprise. Du point de vue méthodologique, le caractère fortement exploratoire de ce travail a conduit à mener une première étude. L’objectif était de faire émerger du terrain les concepts servant de base à l’utilisation d’une méthode semi-structurée de réalisation de cartes cognitives individuelles. Cette seconde étude a permis de mettre en évidence le rôle joué par des démarches idiosyncrasiques de perception et d’interprétation d’information de la part des créateurs d’entreprise. Les conjectures à l’issue de cette analyse, orchestrée par les étapes du processus entrepreneurial et les modes d’interprétation des créateurs d’entreprise, dressent le socle d’un modèle opérationnel d’accompagnement des créateurs d’entreprise. L’ambition de ce modèle, complément des méthodes traditionnelles, serait d’intégrer les comportements cognitifs des créateurs dans les démarches d’accompagnementThe research consisted of understanding how new businesses are created, in order to report on anticipated challenges and ways to harmonize logistics and the evolution of the entrepreneurial system. The way that entrepreneurs’ decisions contribute in creating new business projects was approached on a cognitive perspective reporting on the steps of interpretation and analysis of the entrepreneurs’ environment. On a methodological level, the exploratory character of this work led to an initial study. The objective was to bring to the foreground the concepts used as a base for the study of the use of a method semi-structured by individual cognitive maps. This second study brought to light the role played by idiosyncratic steps of perception and interpretation of information on behalf of the entrepreneurs. The concluding hypotheses of this analysis, orchestrated by the stages of the entrepreneurial process and the entrepreneurs’’ analysis raise the base of an operational model of support for entrepreneurs. This model strives to complement traditional methods and to join the creators’ cognitive behavior to the supporting steps

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche propose de mettre en évidence les différentes configurations possibles d'échec des nouvelles entreprises et les profils des entrepreneurs qui leur sont associées. Pour répondre à cet objectif, nous nous sommes inscrits dans une démarche triangulatoire combinant l'approche typologique et taxonomique. A partir d'un cadre théorique mobilisant la théorie d'écologie des populations des organisations, l'approche fondée sur les ressources et la théorie de la « brèche aspirations-réalisations », une typologie à huit configurations « conceptuelles » d'échec a été déduite. Afin de découvrir les configurations « empiriques », une analyse taxonomique a été menée au moyen d'une double classification hiérarchique et non hiérarchique sur une base empirique comprenant 105 nouvelles entreprises reconnues en situation d'échec par des observateurs externes. Afin de réduire l'écart entre le niveau élevé d'abstraction propre à la typologie et la réalité du terrain révélée par la taxonomie, et afin d'élaborer une grille de lecture « opérationnelle », le processus méthodologique mobilisé a aussi intégré une exploration qualitative recentrée sur l'étude de dix cas d'échec. Les résultats obtenus nous ont permis de relever la coexistence de cinq configurations, chacune représentée par un portrait particulier d'entrepreneurs dénommés les « perdus », les « soutenus à bout de bras », les « mégalomanes », les « éternels insatisfaits » et les « flambeurs ». Nos résultats laissent ainsi apparaître quelques premières pistes de réflexion auprès des acteurs professionnels, à l'image des accompagnateurs, pour une meilleure prise en compte du caractère multiforme de l'échec entrepreneurialThe purpose of this research is to highlight the multiple configurations of new ventures failure and the different entrepreneur profiles associated with them. We adopt a triangulation method combining typological and taxonomic analysis. Based on integrative approach, a typology of eight “conceptual” failures configurations is derived from the combination of three theories: the population ecology of organizations, the resource-based view and the goal-achievement gap theory. To identify the “empirical” configurations of entrepreneurial failure, a taxonomic analysis was conducted by using hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering algorithms. To this end, we used a sample of 105 new ventures recognized by external observers as being in difficulty. To reduce the gap between the high level of abstraction suitable for typological and the “contextual reality” revealed by the taxonomy, and in order to develop an interpretative framework to operationalize entrepreneurial failure, the research methodological process incorporated an exploratory qualitative analysis based on ten failure case studies. Five empirical failures configurations were identified which associated with the “looser”, the “supported at arm's length”, the “megalomaniac”, the “dissatisfied with lord” and “big-time gambler” entrepreneur’s profiles. The findings of this research have opened our eyes to the need for professional actors of entrepreneurship like the counsellor, to take account the multiple configurations of entrepreneurial failure

Full textAbstract:
A une époque où la création d'entreprise est considérée comme une source potentielle de croissance et d'emploi, le champ de l'entrepreneuriat exploite assez peu les apports potentiels du management de projet. Pourtant, il apparaît que ce mode de gestion présente un certain nombre d'analogies de processus avec la création d'entreprise ex-nihilo de petite taille au point que ce type de création d'entreprise peut être considéré comme un type particulier de projet. L'objet de notre thèse a été de valider un modèle dit "du processus intégratif" exploitant l'analogie de processus entre la création d'entreprise ex-nihilo et les méthodes, outils et pratiques du management de projet dans la méthode MAP (Méthode d'Analyse de Projets). Ce modèle a été validé via sa mise en situation dans un simulateur mis au point à cet effet, auquel ont participé un certain nombre de créateurs potentiels. Les effets constatés du simulateur sur les participants ont permis de conclure à la validité du modèle, et au-delà d'aboutir à la certitude que le management de projet dans l'approche MAP est de nature à favoriser la conduite du processus de création d'entreprise ex-nihilo, en particulier en raison des caractéristiques de la méthode MAP qui met l'accent sur la prégnance du facteur humain, qui propose une approche systémique du processus, qui impose des feedbacks et qui propose des outils, méthodes et pratiques structurants. En définitive, notre thèse aboutit à la conclusion que l'accompagnement des créateurs d'entreprise ex-nihilo peut se faire en s'appuyant sur la méthode MAP, qui va permettre de faire du créateur d'entreprise potentiel, porteur d'une idée abstraite, un manager de projet qui élabore une vision réaliste du processus à accomplir et lui donner les moyens de sa mise en oeuvre. La méthode MAP permet d'organiser l'interaction des éléments du système et de maîtriser la dynamique du processus de création d'entreprise.

Full textAbstract:
Les études portant sur le capital social dans le champ de l’entrepreneuriat ont largement mis en exergue son rôle dans la réussite des projets entrepreneuriaux de création. Néanmoins, les préalables qui sont susceptibles d’agir sur sa formation et son développement afin d’en favoriser l’accès aux ressources externes ont été peu explorés. Dans cette perspective, les recherches réalisées en contexte TIC (des Technologies d’Information et de Communication), et plus spécifiquement durant la phase de survie-développement des entreprises nouvelles, sont encore moins nombreuses. Dans ce cadre, cette thèse tente de comprendre le processus par lequel les compétences sociales de l’entrepreneur TIC permettent d’enrichir son capital social, et par là même de faciliter son accès aux ressources externes clés. Pour atteindre cet objectif, un modèle conceptuel a été développé à partir d’une revue de la littérature. Pour tester ce modèle et les hypothèses qui s’y rattachent, nous avons procédé à une collecte des données en deux principaux temps. Dans un premier temps, nous avons mené une étude exploratoire auprès de dix entrepreneurs TIC, quatre banquiers et cinq capitalistes de risque. Cette étude nous a permis, au moyen d’une analyse de contenu, de mieux contextualiser la recherche, ainsi que de cerner les compétences et ressources essentielles pour le développement des nouveaux projets de création. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons conduit des entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 120 entrepreneurs TIC tunisiens. Les donnés recueillies ont fait l’objet de traitements statistiques via les logiciels UCINET-VI, SPSS (version 18) et SMART-PLS (version 2.0). Les résultats ont démontré que trois types de compétences sociales, à savoir la persuasion sociale, les bonnes grâces et l’intelligence émotionnelle de soi, sont susceptibles d’agir en contexte de création TIC. Le capital social de l’entrepreneur joue un rôle médiateur entre ses compétences sociales et son accès aux ressources externes clés, alors que l’incertitude environnementale de marché exerce un effet modérateur. A partir des résultats obtenus, nous pouvons déduire les principales contributions et limites de cette recherche afin de proposer des perspectives de développement futuresResearch concerning social capital within the field of Entrepreneurship has largely put forward its role in the success of venture creation projects. Nevertheless, the prerequisites which are likely to act on its formation and its development in order to support their access to external resources were rarely explored. In this perspective, researches carried out in the ICT context (of Information and Communication Technologies), and more specifically during the survival-development stage of new companies, are even fewer. Within this framework, this thesis tries to understand the process by which the entrepreneur's social skills enable him to enrich his social capital and consequently, to facilitate his access to key external resources. To achieve this goal, a conceptual model was developed from a literature review. To test this model and the hypotheses which are related, we proceed to a data-gathering in two principal times. Initially, we undertook an exploratory study with ten ICT entrepreneurs, four bankers and five investors. This study allowed us, by a content analysis, to better contextualize this research, and by the way, to emphasize the skills and resources which are essential for the development of new projects' creation. In the second time, we conducted semi-directed interviews with 120 Tunisian ICT entrepreneurs. The collected data were subject to statistical treatments via UCINET-VI, SPSS (version 18) and SMART-PLS (version 2.0) softwares.The results demonstrated that three types of social skills, namely the social persuasion, the ingratiation and the self emotional intelligence, are likely to act in the context of ICT creation. The entrepreneur's social capital plays a mediator role between his social skills and his access to key external resources, whereas the market's environmental uncertainty exerts a moderating effect. Building from the obtained results, we can deduct the principal contributions and limits of this research in order to propose future perspectives of development

In several countries, the contributions of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in promoting the livelihood of the communities can clearly be identified. As a matter of fact, international development agencies increase their trust to NGOs in running development projects because they have proven capable of running these projects at a lower cost while reaching the huge number of poor communities. However, several factors have influenced the development of NGOs had little participation, contribution, and impact in undertaking the more structurally-entrenched causes and indicators of poverty. In addition, in most of the countries in Africa, local NGOs are weak with regards to the implementation of development projects. Consequently, there are ongoing questions towards these challenges faced by NGOs, especially at the local level. Most of the research focus on the external factors such as corruption, political instability, climatic unreliability, inadequate resources as the main reasons for less performance of the projects. Additionally, other researchers pinpoint the issue of upward accountability from sponsors and donors, but still they do not tell us the full story, therefore, realizing the gap of internal factors that have been overlooked by many researchers in the successful implementation of projects in Africa. This research seeks to explore the concept of leadership within local NGOs that conduct Economic Empowerment Projects, in East Africa. Through the qualitative study, our research findings would be analyzed to provide an insight to management team on how managerial and entrepreneurial thinking may influence the performance of the community development projects. In this study, the capacity development model will be identified and proposed as a guideline for organizational leaders in the capacity building interventions. This would support development practitioners of NGO sector in tackling the ongoing practical challenges in developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
La création d’entreprise innovante revêt de forts enjeux en termes de développement économique mais sa finalité réside véritablement dans la pérennisation des entreprises nouvellement créées. Ce travail de recherche, qui s’inscrit dans cette optique en se centrant sur le développement du porteur de projet, se propose d’avancer dans la compréhension de la dynamique que ce dernier impulse dans le cadre de son accompagnement en incubateur. L’objectif est d’encourager l’accompagnateur à enrichir sa pratique en enclenchant un processus d’autonomisation du porteur de projet, ce dernier étant confronté à une activité complexe et à de nombreux changements. Concevant, mettant en œuvre et gérant l’ensemble des évènements survenant dans le développement du projet, nous considérons que le porteur de projet est au cœur de ce processus ; ses représentations y jouent un rôle déterminant et elles doivent nécessairement évoluer afin qu’il puisse actionner un nombre important d’apprentissages, ce dernier étant souvent néophyte en matière de création d’entreprise. Nos résultats situent principalement ces apprentissages au niveau de la construction du projet et de la construction personnelle du rôle d’entrepreneur. Nous montrons ainsi que, durant la période d’incubation, il est nécessaire pour l’accompagnateur de fortifier les apprentissages du porteur pour que ce dernier s’en imprègne durablement et initie une dynamique de construction de compétences qui favorise sa confiance, sa prise d’initiatives et son autonomie dans l’activité d’entrepreneur. La dimension opérationnelle qui nous guide dans ce travail nous conduit à proposer des orientations relatives à ces principes permettant d’organiser et de co-construire la relation d’accompagnementNew innovative venture creation embodies strong stakes in terms of economic development but its end really lies in the sustainable development of recently created companies. This investigation joins this perspective by focusing on the development of nascent entrepreneur. It proposes an innovative reflection related to the dynamics that he/she impulses when being accompanied in an incubator. Our objective is to encourage the “incubator consultant” to enrich his skills and practices by engaging a development of the nascent entrepreneur’s autonomy of the he supports who is confronted with a complex activity and with numerous changes. Conceiving, implementing and managing all the events occurring during the incubation process, we consider that the entrepreneur is in the core of the process; his/her mental representations play a decisive role and their evolution support the knowledge (learning processes) he should construct as a novice in many fields of business venture. Our results show that the learning contents are related to the progressive building of his project and entrepreneur role. We show that the incubator consultant must strengthen the entrepreneur learning contents and processes during the incubation period, in order to insure a long term impact. Such a dynamic process of skill building will favour his/her self confidence, entrepreneurial attitude and autonomy facing his new activity. Starting from our research results, the operating dimension we adopt in this research guides us to propose a set of recommendations about co-producing and organizing the accompaniment relationship

Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche vise à identifier pour notre partenaire socio-économique, le Pôle services à la personne PACA (PSP PACA), les manières possibles dont il peut soutenir l’activité d’innovation de ses adhérents et des acteurs du champ des services à domicile. Nous avons dans un premier temps, à l’aide de revues de littérature, bâti un modèle théorique d’analyse nous permettant de mettre en évidence l’ensemble des activités cognitives, politiques, constructives et productives, fondamentales dans la conduite de projet entrepreneuriaux visant à transformer ou à renforcer un champ. Nous nous sommes pour cela appuyés sur une littérature portant sur la perspective fondée sur le projet, et sur trois ensembles de littérature sur l’appropriation d’objets de conception. Nous avons ensuite mobilisé ce modèle d’analyse dans la lecture approfondie de deux cas de projets conduits par le PSP sous forme d’actions collectives. La mobilisation de ce modèle d’analyse nous a permis d’examiner les dispositifs (organisationnels, d’animation, d’accompagnement, …) mis en place par l’équipe du pôle au niveau des actions collectives, et leur incidence sur les activités qui s’y sont déroulées. Celle-ci nous a également permis d’identifier, en contexte, les éléments qui ont été par la suite appropriés ou adoptés par les opérateurs de services, durant la conduite de leurs propres projets. Nous avons alors mis en évidence un certain nombre de leviers d’ordre méthodologique, sur lesquels peut s’appuyer l’équipe du pôle pour optimiser l’organisation et l’animation de telles actions collectives. Ces résultats nous ont alors conduits à émettre trois principaux axes de discussion théoriqueOur research aims to identify, for the PSP PACA our socio-economic partner, the possible ways to support the innovation activity of its members and the home-care services field players. Firstly, based on an expanded literature review, we built a theoretical model of analysis allowing us to highlight all the cognitive, political, constructive and productive fundamental activities in the implementation of entrepreneurial projects intended to transform or strengthen a field. Thus, we rely on a project-based view literature and on three sets of literature on the appropriation of human artefacts. Secondly, we mobilized this model of analysis in the in-depth reading of two cases of projects carried out by the PSP PACA, setting up collective actions. Mobilizing this analytical model allowed us to examine the different ways (organization, collective animation and individual support) by which the PSP team carried out theses collective actions, and their subsequent impact on the activities. It also allowed us to identify, in context, the elements that were appropriated or adopted by the participants while conducting their own projects. We then highlighted a certain number of methodological levers, on which the team of the cluster can rely to optimize - according to its aims and its orientations - the organization and the animation of such collective actions. We articulated these levers according to four different modalities in order to facilitate their mobilization by participants or project carriers. These results then led us to put forward three main axes of theoretical discussion
