Giraudeau, Martin. "La fabrique de l'avenir : une sociologie historique des business plans." Toulouse 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010TOU20028.
Full textThis thesis consists in a historical sociology of new venture business plans. It is based on empirical data that shed light on various turning points in the history of these management tools. Five successive case studies are hence presented. The first one deals with the business plans of statesman, scientist and entrepreneur Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours in the late XVIIIth century, the second one with those of the gunpowder manufactory that was to be set up by his son Éleuthère Irénée Du Pont de Nemours in Delaware in the early XIXth century, the third one with the business plan handbooks that were published in the US from 1945 to 2010, the fourth one with the reliance on plans of French State support to jobless entrepreneurs between 1987 and 2007, and the last one with Renault's plans to set up a new plant in Brazil in the mid 1990's. The first contribution of this research is historical. It accounts for the main evolutions of the forms and uses of business plans throughout their history. And it notably highlights the roles of economic and management sciences, as well as that of the State, in the modern and contemporary formalization of business plans, which may be described as a crisis rationalization, made to improve entrepreneurial mastery over the future in times of growing uncertainty. Business plans also raise important sociological questions. The first of these are related to the specific sphere of activities that is studied here: 1) it is indeed possible, thanks to the observation of business plans, to enhance a sociology of entrepreneurship that pays attention to entrepreneurial work and thus goes further than theories of creative genius; 2) the business plan is also a useful entry point for a sociology of organizing that understands the processes through which social and material orders are deliberately made to emerge. Both these lines of questioning are related in the thesis to a question of general sociology: that of the role of the future in present action. The study of business plans shows that the future that is embedded in the plan isn't necessarily imposed to action as a constraining frame but is often rather folded into the present. There, it contributes to the valuation and reconfiguration of the coming action, and initiates its performation

Full textEntrepreneurship in social sciences is an object with blurred boundaries. One can group a number of economic activities known as sociological engineering, urban engineering, and for their members, consultant, public historian, ethnologist-consultant, professional sociologist... This thesis studies the process of economic activities in disciplines where it’s not usually expected: history, geography, sociology and ethnology. We analyze the evolution of the role of these economic activities according to historical contexts and the tensions which rise about them in the different disciplines. We also seek to identify structures and people in crossing various documentary sources (INSEE files, professional directories, online data research). Finally, using biographical interviews (62 to 50 cases of companies), we study the entrepreneurial process and their anchorages in entrepreneur life courses, social milieus, social networks and devices. Networks and devices appear to be the basis for entry into entrepreneurship, as means to access to various kinds of resources and as ways of coordination within economic markets. In an unstructured environment by professional institutions, personal relationships play a central role in the establishment of structures, in the activities and in the coordination between customers and entrepreneurs
Bornard, Fabienne. "La représentation de l’objet Entreprise par son créateur : quelles influences sur le processus entrepreneurial ?" Chambéry, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007CHAML040.
Full textThe limits of the existing entrepreneurial support dispositives and particularly the methodologies of venture creation usually used are pointed out in a growing number of researches. Based on sequential and normative approaches, they don't fit the individual dynamics of a non-linear entrepreneurial process. Taking into account the individual cognitive characteristics is a research direction that could help their improvement. This thesis is concerned with the question of the influence relationship existing between the cognitive schemes of the company creator and the way he develops his entrepreneurial project. The concept of social representation has been adopted and focused on a central object in the entrepreneurial process, the object « Company ». A longitudinal and qualitative approach has made it possible to study four cases of company creations, over a period spreading from one to four years. An additional comparative analysis of the representations of an entrepreneur and his adviser is presented. The connection between social representation and the entrepreneurial process has been analysed, thanks to the creation of cognitive maps. The results have confirmed the importance of the representation of the Company in the strategic choices made and its potential influence on the performance of the company created. One of the theoretic contributions of this work is based on the proposition of a model of the entrepreneurial process integrating the « representation of the object Company » variable. From a managerial point of view, the basis of an operational support methodology seeking to unveil then analyse the social representation of the entrepreneur are proposed

Full textThis thesis analyzes the dissemination of training modules on « entrepreneurship » or « entrepreneurial spirit » to the students of the « grandes écoles » and universities in France. Located at the intersection of political science, sociology of education and economic sociology, this research traces the genesis of a public problem, policy-making surrounding it and its translation into a curriculum to produce specific economic behaviors.Based on a field survey combining qualitative methods (interviews, participatory observations, archival research) and quantitative methods (questionnaires), this thesis demonstrates how certain areas of higher education are transformed by the appropriation of this new educational mission, and how the project of entrepreneurship education is in turn transformed by its school and academic formatting. This thesis then highlights that if the various uses of entrepreneurship in higher education have made its acclimatization in this space possible, these uses, however, are never able to radically change the meaning of a project of « education to liberalism » whose semantic framework has crystallized for a long time. Proposing a historical and political sociology of entrepreneurship education, this research intends to renew the knowledge on higher education in two ways : first, it analyzes spaces and actors that are typically/historicallunderstudied ; second, it analyzes two dimensions rarely considered together (university policies and content). This thesis therefore contributes to understanding the social mechanisms of production, circulation and legitimization of economic beliefs and practices characteristic of contemporary capitalism

Full textWhat is Globalization? We address this question by focusing on audiovisual flows worldwide, seen from the perspective of commercial exchanges and French public policies. From 2008 to 2012, several sites have been investigated such as the French administration, its diplomatic network abroad, public agencies and international markets. We argue that Globalization, far from being an economic force overhanging from abroad, is always something that has to be "brought home". First, it results from policies that aim at "taming" what exceeds the national frame (such as audiovisual contents broadcasted by satellite). Second, it always entails very "domestic" stakes. At first, we deal with the French administration, where a "foreign audiovisual policy'' has been launched in the 1980s, stirring up a sharp competition to be nominated at the head of new transnational public channels, and leading to the recruitment of diplomats specializing in this policy. Then, we assess the astonishing rise of international markets of movies and TV shows, describing how French sales agents, in the process of getting professional recognition, received a strong support from the French administration. This brings us to the thesis that export policies fundamentally shape Globalization by providing contradicting definitions of what it should be. ln France, the sales agents and the administration have been negotiating one built upon the principle of "cultural diversity", conveniently melting commercial, cultural and diplomatic stakes altogether, despite of the notion being deeply ambivalent

Full textThe entrepreneur is in the economic and sociological analysis a very important figure. For J. Schumpeter, the entrepreneur is the power of the economic development toward his capacity to create new products and processes of production. The entrepreneur is placed between the industrial worker and scientist. This idea is the theoretical base of this study. In the particular case of the Greek industry, the small enterprises with 50 salaries or less are the majority of the industrial firms of this country. But the important place of the small firms in the Greek industry is not the product of the entrepreneur's personality. In the situation of the economic crisis, the enterprise’s creation is the product of the necessity. The objective of a lot of Greek people is to be a public employed, not to be an entrepreneur. The creation of firms is not the product of an individual decision but the product of the economic structures

Full textThis work aims at analyzing the emergence mechanisms of a sector typical of the « knowledge economy » : the German biotechnology industry. Using the neo-institutionalist approaches in sociology, the emergence of this industry is first interpreted as a process of emergence and structuration of a new organisational field. In a dynamic approach, the factors that facilitated – or prevented – the genesis of entrepreneurs are identified. Based on a study of concrete entrepreneur’s activity, three firm models can be elaborated. They are successively dominant between 1980 and 2004. In an economic sociology perspective, then, the financing ties between entrepreneurs and venture-capital firms, because they played a key role in the development of the industry, are analyzed. Finally, based on the presented results, the following thesis is defended : the birth and development of the German biotechnology organizational field went along with the genesis of a new entrepreneur type, called « rationalized entrepreneur », that differs from classical models proposed by J. Schumpeter, I. Kirzner, R. Burt and M. Granovetter. This entrepreneur type, through his action, presents four features that are typical of rationalization processes as analyzed by M. Weber : he gets in touch with partners through depersonalized ways, relies in his entrepreneurial action on abstract and impersonal rules, carries out activities that are both more intellectualized and more purposive-rational than his predecessors

Full textThe extension of the injunction to become self-entrepreneurs promoted by neoliberal ideology since the 1980s, calls for a sociological approach to entrepreneurship. Far from being limited to instrumental rationality, as some economic literature would have us believe, the act of entrepreneurship appears irreducible to a single logic of action, and requires a combinatorial approach to shed light on it. We can see that setting up a business refers to a plurality of registers, the main ones being access to social status (integration logic), maximizing resources (strategic logic) and realize oneself as a subject (subjective logic). However, only the last register of an entrepreneurial ethic guided by a common desire to "control their destiny", that links all the motives for their involvement

Full textThe premises of our research can be described through a two-fold professional challenge. The France is under-equipped in terms of removable containers. What should be done to reduce this handicap? The S. C. M. (Supply Chain Management or global logistics) software are out of reach for small and midsize companies. How can they be organized in order to make them accessible? Our paper is designed in five parts: the introduction presents the teilhardian weltanschauung, the axiomatic of our research, the refutations of the "true thought", the modelling leads of the object and, the validation by the satisficing. The theoretical corpus of out thesis is founded on three theories : the constructivism, the General System, Simon "administrative " theory. We chose the field of the consular Chambers. We realized that the construction from scrap of a network is not realistic in the context of our thesis which led us to propose the systemic metaphor of the "Chambre de métiers" of Haute-Savoie

Full textThe economic and social changes of contemporary societies are based on the observation of an inevitable demographic dynamic and on the construction of a particular economic paradigm: on the one hand, the aging of the population, and on the other hand, the importance of innovation as a source of economic growth. The economic paradigm of innovation has been developing since the 1970s, growing from a central preoccupation in large firms, into a larger framework for the development of entrepreneurship more generally, even at a regional level. At the same time, public policies supporting the elderly initially set up during the 20th century for purposes of social protection, have increasingly privileged the initiatives and the development of private actors, thus encouraging the development of the silver economy. It is therefore in light of the interweaving of these two social dynamics that this thesis has sought to study the career paths of innovative entrepreneurs in the aging sector through a qualitative analysis of biographical stories. In an interactionist perspective, and based on the structural analysis of Demazière and Dubar (1997), the thesis studies the links between the operative logics pursued by silver-economy entrepreneurs on the one hand, as shaped by their professional trajectories and by their representations, and on the other hand, the macroeconomic challenges which characterize these logics and these representations. Based on this analysis, the thesis sheds light upon both the contributions and the limits of relevant structuralist methodology of analysis

O principal objetivo desse trabalho foi o de mapear quais são os sentidos dados ao empreendedorismo, em termos morais, pelas pessoas que o praticam ou que tem alguma relação com ele. A ideia de sentido, aqui, basicamente diz respeito ao modo como determinado valor mobiliza uma ação e, ao mesmo tempo, justifica-a quando essa mesma ação é objeto de reflexão. Assim, o trabalho se inscreve no plano de uma sociologia da moral. Para que essa investigação fosse possível, foi adotado o referencial teórico da sociologia pragmática francesa, mais especificamente o trabalho Luc Boltanski e Éve Chiapello O novo espírito do capitalismo. O ponto central da abordagem é mostrar como as justificativas para a ação percorrem um campo moral mais amplo e, como produção de sentido, passam pela reflexão das pessoas. Com isso, a ideia de empreendedorismo foi dividida em espírito empreendedor – aspecto moral mais amplo – e modelo de ação empreendedora – o modo como as pessoas produzem sentido para suas ações em alguma atividade empreendedora. Para a caracterização do primeiro ponto, foi feita uma revisão de literatura em teses e dissertações que têm o empreendedorismo como valor demandado, ou seja, trabalhos que tomam o empreendedorismo como “modelo” e, como caracterização do segundo, foram feitas nove entrevistas com pessoas que exercem alguma atividade empreendedora ou lidam com ela de forma indireta. Esse material foi analisado a partir do modelo da cité por projetos, desenvolvida ainda no âmbito da sociologia pragmática. O procedimento de análise resultou em ensejos que podem dar alguma compreensão sobre o tipo de relação que existe entre moral e prática quando se pensa o empreendedorismo como um valor. Na conclusão, o aspecto central foi o de explorar os valores associados ao empreendedorismo mostrando que, direta ou indiretamente, a ação é pensada em termos individuais mas com algum nível de percepção sobre o bem comum.
The main propose of this master’s thesis is to identify which meanings (in moral terms) of entrepreneurship are taken by the people who either utilize it or have some relation to it. By “meanings”, the author refers to the process in which a value mobilizes a certain practice and, at the same time, justifies such practice when it is taken as object of reflexion. Thus, this thesis is allocated in the frame of a sociology of morality. In order to conduct such investigation, it has been utilized the French Pragmatic Sociology, in particular the work by Luc Boltanski and Éve Chiapello “The New Spirit of Capitalism”. The main point of such approach is to demonstrate how the justifications for action run across a broad moral field and, as a production of meaning, go through people’s reflections. Therefore, the idea of entrepreneurship is understood as entrepreneurship spirit - broad moral aspect - and model of entrepreneur action - the way in which people produce meaning for their actions in some sort of entrepreneur activity. In order to characterize the first point, it was conducted a review of literature on thesis in which entrepreneurship appears as a requested value, in other words, essays that take entrepreneurship as a “model”. Regarding the second aspect, nine interviews were conducted with people who either practice entrepreneur activities or handle such activities indirectly. These material was analyzed from a “cité” for projects model, developed in the Pragmatic Sociology framework. The procedure of analysis resulted in points that can enlighten the comprehension of the kind of relation existing between moral and practice - when entrepreneurship is understood as a value. In the final considerations, the main aspect is to explore the values associated to entrepreneurship showing that, directly or indirectly, an action is thought in individual terms, but also, at some degree, in terms of common good.

Full textA recent phenomenom linked to the emergence of participary management, the use of laughter by those who manage firms is translated by a very distinct reinforcement of the domination exercised over employees. In the workplace, laughter has the effect of an extravagant ruse which favours the participation of staff by keeping their drive and their emotions in the background, leans on partly subconscious processes, and closes what was a previously open space for resistance in on itself. In france, this extravagant ruse is justified all the more so since elective affinities between forms of religions belief and the spirit of capitalism do not exist. The ruse eases the loss of autonomy, of which staff are victims, by reactiving amongst them the fascinating memory of their earlest childhood. It imparts an increased legitimacy to entrepreneurs, allowing them to engage the "citizen firm" on the path of "economic war" ( with the constitution, outside the firm, of a reserve army on which to draw il the needs arises, and of military organisation within the firm ). But the consequences of this gamelike participation through laughter ( to which a parallel with gamelike participation through sport can be drawn ) are already making themselves known, a sign of the difficulty faced by an increasing proportion of employees in enduring the scission between the make-believe lauded by those who run the firms and the everyday reality experienced by those employees. Could the trap close on those that set it ? history incites us to believe so

The second part is based on an analysis of third-party employer strategies. The last part shows how this type of employment is used by workers for securing career paths, but helps to consolidate the inequalities

These strategies and maneuvers, which are reflected on the flexible identities of immigrant entrepreneurs, are crucial for them to have social mobility and thus to remain competitive in the capitalist market economy and its political and social dynamics. That is to say through flexible identities immigrant entrepreneurs enable themselves to benefit from the economic, political and social conditions in Turkey and Germany, and also adapt themselves to the changing circumstances in these countries. In this manner, immigrant entrepreneurs are not only passive subjects of the regimes of state, market and social networks, which are constituted and conditioned with various norms, laws and values, but also active agents, who are able to create flexible identities in order to be mobile and competitive within these regimes.

Full textThe object of the thesis is to explore the perceptions of small business people mainly from the Athlone area regarding the SBDC and other similar support organisations. The survey targeted mainly coloured and Indian firms. African businesses face constraints different from those run by Indian and coloureds in the Western Cape. The study targeted a defined group of businesses and its particular limitations. This complexity requires sensitivity that recognises differences among disadvantaged firms. It also investigated the provision of training, marketing and financial functions of the Small Business Development Corporation, addressing: the activities involved in the provision of services, the policy formulation process within the institution with regard to the service function, and the environment within which the institution operates. Finally the thesis analysed the post 1994 government policy on SMEs and activities since the Presidents Conference on Small Business. The study focused on three support functions, training, marketing and financial services offered to black entrepreneurs. The study looks at the SBDC as support provider of services to the construction, service and manufacturing sectors in the Western Cape.

Messamer, Gina Marie. "The connection between female business-owners and female lawyers and its impact on making partner." Thesis, The University of Iowa, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1545466.
Full textThe success of firm lawyers depends largely upon their ability to develop a clientele. Naturally, access to potential clients and the relationships between lawyers and their clients and potential clients are exceedingly important for client development. Various factors likely play into relationships between lawyers and business leaders, two important factors being homophily and in-group preferences. Both homophily and in-group preferences mechanisms would predict that law firms are more likely to assign clients to associates who bear certain similarities to those clients. Accordingly, associates who are more similar to the business community they serve are more likely to be assigned clients and awarded responsibility. In this way, a lawyers' success depends in part on the composition of the business community in which they operate. In making partnership decisions, law firms value associates' aptitude for client relations, thus incorporating these effects into promotion evaluations. This study asks the question: at the state level, to what extent does the success of female-owned businesses correlate to the success of female lawyers who work at law firms? Using a national survey of lawyers seven years after admission to the bar, logistic regression demonstrates that it is not the percentage of businesses in a state that are female-owned that influences the likelihood of making partner for female associates. Rather, the results show that the percentage of sales generated by female-owned businesses is the influential variable: as women generate a greater percent of a state's economic activity, female lawyers are in turn more likely to achieve the status of partner.

In order to address this question, this thesis studies spin-offs in their interactions with the heterogeneous actors that compose the techno-economic networks of innovation. It depicts academic entrepreneurship as a process of exploring and consolidating new technologies, markets and relations. Moreover, the thesis examines the effects generated by the inter-organizational collaborations that are formed as part of this process. It demonstrates, in particular, the diversity of their innovative outputs, by distinguishing the contribution of different types of partnerships (explorative, exploitative and ambidextrous) to different dimensions of innovation. Finally, the thesis studies how the value of these explorative associations is constructed through the practice of a collective action which involves spin-offs and their partners and which leverages specific valuation devices

Full textEntrepreneurship is a source of job creation and a major driver of economic development in our society. In this sense, the presence of women in business has become a concern of public policies in Quebec and Canada. Several levers have been adopted to stimulate entrepreneurship with the aim of increasing the number of women in business. However, despite these measures, women remain less likely than men to undertake such activities. Nevertheless, while women are under-represented in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, they show entrepreneurial intentions in encouraging proportions, which are close to the statistics observed for men. As a result, this suggests that a slowdown in their entrepreneurial momentum occurs once the start-up actions have been initiated. Through this research, we seek to understand factors influencing the entrepreneurial journey of women, from the first steps to the completion of their business project. Our study is part of the Schmitt’s Global Entrepreneurial Approach (3M Theory) (2017). The question we ask ourselves is: What factors explain the success of women’s entrepreneurship in Quebec? Through the qualitative analysis of 19 interviews conducted with two samples of women entrepreneurs, one group having experienced entrepreneurial success and one group having stopped their project, the study highlighted the influence of multiple factors on the entrepreneurial process and outcome. Our research highlights the major impact that the nature of project is likely to have in the choice to stop entrepreneurial approaches. Furthermore, the important role of the entrepreneur and her ecosystem in entrepreneurial success has also been observed. A typology of the different reasons for stopping entrepreneurial journeys has been developed and correlated with factors motivating that decision. In sum, the project will have made it possible to better understand the different realities experienced by women in all their complexity and suggest possible solutions to increase the presence of women in entrepreneurship in Quebec.

Full text在第二和第三章節裡,我們採用中國健康與營養調查(CHNS)的數據在微觀層面研究了制度環境與企業家活動的關係。我們發現對自顧傭而言,顯著的教育回報存在於技術含量要求相對較高的地區。在家庭經營的架構之下,在農村地區自顧傭活動的純利潤和家庭的平均教育水平被證明存在顯著的正相關性。而城市自顧傭活動的盈利能力則完全不受教育的影響。論文的結論豐富了教育對生產的回報率這一領域的研究成果。
在最後一章裡,我們發現制度環境不僅直接影響到個人的創業決定,也間接的影響到決定其就業傾向的因素。在中國城鄉二元性的環境下,一些個人特徵以及社區商業環境的變量對創業決定顯示了不同的影響。
This thesis mainly investigates the influence of institutional environments on entrepreneurial activities in China. In the first chapter, we verify the causality relationship between the institutional environment and the entrepreneur’s choice between productive entrepreneurial activities and those unproductive. The release of the Forbes’ List of millionaires in mainland China is treated as an event affecting the stock market. By examining the origin of its influence on relevant stocks, our results show that a significantly positive relationship exists between the institutional environment and productive entrepreneurial activities.
In Chapters 2 and 3, we apply the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data to exploit the relationship between the institutional environment and entrepreneurial activities in the micro-level. We demonstrate that the return to education in the self-employment sector is significant in the area where the demand for skill is relatively high. The net profit of self-employment activities has significantly positive relationship with the average education level of the whole family in the rural, while education has no influence on the profitability of the urban self-employment sector. The findings contribute to existing literatures that estimate the return to education in production.
In the last chapter, we illustrate that the institutional environment not only directly influences the entrepreneurial decision of an individual, but also affects his career choice. Under the rural-urban duality in China, distinct influence on entrepreneurial decision has been identified for some personal characteristics and measurements of business environment in the community. Besides, determinants that have consistent effects in different institutional environments shed light on the development of entrepreneurial activities in China.

Full textIncreasing competition in industries has made it necessary for established companies to regenerate themselves and renew their ability to compete. This is the goal of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) activities, which involve extending the firm‟s domain of competence and corresponding opportunity set, through internally and externally resources. Recently, CE has evoked interest not only from academics, but also from business practitioners and policy makers. This interest stems from the recognition of the advantage that can be gained from corporate entrepreneurship activities (Entebang, Mansor, & Puah, (2006). The prominence of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in the economy continues to grow. Their assets have been growing steadily since 2011 while SOEs play a critical role in the economic pursuit of advancing economic growth and developmental objectives of the country (Brown, 2014). This dissertation assesses the impact of forms of capital on corporate entrepreneurship in State Owned Enterprises in South Africa. The focus is on three forms of entrepreneurial capital which are; (1) economic capital, (2) human capital, and (3) social capital. Each form of capital is critical and has been discussed in the literature in order to orientate its utility in relation to entrepreneurship. The study was carried out in three major SOEs, which are administered by the Department of Public Enterprises. The study was based on quantitative measures using a self-administrated questionnaire. It was found that some forms of capital have a significant impact on a company‟s entrepreneurial activities. For instance, it was found that forms of entrepreneurial capital have significant influence on corporate entrepreneurship because they contributed positive toward the growth of the business. This study considered the nature or the quality of the company‟s workforce by means of employee human capital. Therefore, of all the managerial processes that can affect the pursuit of corporate entrepreneurial outcomes, Human capital is considered as one of the more vital. Furthermore, the recent loan guarantees from government to SOEs such as Eskom and South African Airways are a practical indication on the level of importance Economic capital is on corporate entrepreneurial activities. On Social capital and Corporate Entrepreneurship, Foil (1995) argued that it is the access to a diverse set of firm resources that significantly enhances corporate entrepreneurship activities, which points to the importance of Social capital at multiple levels within the organisations in pursuing corporate entrepreneurship. However, more research is required to investigate further how forms of capital impact established company‟s entrepreneurial activities.

Full textEntrepreneurship continues to dominate public discourse as has been the case for the past century; this topic has been widely discussed in academia and policy development, not only as an abstract concept, but as a necessity to activate economic growth, especially for developing countries such as South Africa. Many authors have argued that the mixture of good entrepreneurial activity in the formal and informal sector is necessary and it is interlinked. As such, the multifaceted nature of entrepreneurship continues to be a subject of contention, especially when it comes to issues surrounding entrepreneurial performance. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of Cultural Intelligence on the relationship between Social Capital and Entrepreneurial Performance amongst foreign traders based in Johannesburg’s informal economy. The major studies underlying this research are in agreement in the field of social science and business studies, suggesting that Entrepreneurship is embedded in social contexts and cannot be wholly understood unless one attempts to evaluate the influence of different social phenomena. This study assessed foreign entrepreneurs’ cross-cultural adjustment capabilities, their social networks and how the two influence entrepreneurial performance. This study was motivated by the 2008 and 2015 xenophobic attacks in the informal economy which exposed a need to understand cultural and social capital dynamics that underpin entrepreneurial performance amongst foreign entrepreneurs. The research model for this study sought to investigate the mediating influence of cultural intelligence on the relationship between Social Capital and Entrepreneurial Performance. The results of this study indicate that Cultural Intelligence is no significant mediator between Social Capital and Entrepreneurial Performance amongst foreign traders in the informal economy. The results of this further reflected significant differences in attitudes between the groups of foreign traders under study.

Full textThe contributions of the immigrant entrepreneurial initiatives to the European economies only recently were recognized. Over the last decades in Portugal, as in other host contexts, immigrants consolidated entrepreneurial rates higher than nationals. However, not all immigrant groups display the same propensity to entrepreneurship. Furthermore the immigrants’ entrepreneurial rates are not constant in time and over space, but vary over the years and according to the municipalities of the country. This research identifies and demonstrates the interference of several determinants to the development of immigrant entrepreneurial strategies in Portugal, giving special attention to three explanatory dimensions: the opportunity structure (considering the interference of the legal context, the characteristics of the labour market and of the economic system, and the social reception and public opinion); the characteristics and the community resources of the immigrant group; and the personal resources of the immigrant and that potential its entrepreneurship. Portugal is neither a single or exceptional immigrant country nor a special host context to immigrant entrepreneurs. Even so, to the wider study of immigrant entrepreneurship, the Portuguese case becomes particularly interesting to analyse because it allows highlighting the interference of the determinants that affect immigrant entrepreneurial behaviour in host societies and emphasise the impacts that changes in policy, in the economy and in public opinion might have in those entrepreneurs. Moreover, contrasting with which several researchers of the field have been defending and simplifying with the ethnic strategies, the Portuguese case also allows to demonstrate that the immigrant entrepreneurial strategies are remarkable diverse and complex.

Full textNeo-liberal principles based on competition between individuals against each other have contributed to the profound changes in the world of work since the 1970s, both in its objective dimensions (working conditions) and in its subjective dimensions (relationship to work). Michel Foucault and later Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval analyzed the genealogy of neo-liberal thought, constructing the idea that a "neo-liberal subject" would emerge, whose characteristic would be the adoption of an entrepreneurial ethos. Using semi-structured interviews, the field of analysis of pharmaceutical representation was selected because it was deemed particularly conducive to the emergence of such an ethos, as companies in this industry encourage the adoption of entrepreneurial initiatives. The analysis of the interview corpus led to the emergence of three ideal-typical ethos, namely "the competitive", "the careerist" and "the family man or woman". These ethos illustrated the diversity of relationships at work that we could find in Quebec society. This research work makes it possible to advance critical reflections on neoliberalism and its repercussions on our individual and collective relationship to work.
