Entreprendre en commun(s). Une étude du processus de création d’un supermarché coopératif et participatif

Academic literature regarding entrepreneurship and the commons are generally distinct. However, there are grass-root level initiatives combining an entrepreneurial approach and a desire to create commons. The article document and characterize the development of closer ties by mobilising the processual perspectives that are developing both in the field of entrepreneurship and in that of the commons. This linkage allows us to analyse in the field, through an ethnographic study, the emerging process of a cooperative and participatory supermarket organized in common (s). The results of the research show that the linkage between the entrepreneurial approach and the creation of commons depends on the ability of a deliberative community to organize itself when mobilising a plurality of exchange principles.
