Les trois dimensions de la décision d'entreprendre

Abstract

The decision to create a new business is for the entrepreneur an essential moment, a unique decision, a founding moment. We would then expect that all entrepreneurship models would give this decision the place it deserves. However it is often absent, the entrepreneur appears more as an agent who find himself in a context which pushes him towards entrepreneurship rather than as a fully informed actor deciding to create his or her own organisation. It is this paradox that brings us to look at this problem through a study of the literature and empirical work involving the collection of the stories of forty new enterprise creators. Three main dimensions of the entrepreneurial decision emerge: rationality, logic of action, construction of meaning.
