Abstract
[fre] Appréciation de la capacité de remboursement de la dette d'un émetteur, la notation a pour objet d'assister le prêteur dans la détermination du risque qu'il accepte de prendre et de l'aider à fixer en conséquence la rémunération attendue. Mais, au-delà de cette observation externe, la notation exerce également une influence croissante sur la détermination des choix stratégiques des entreprises, qui doivent arbitrer entre les exigences de rentabilité demandées par leurs actionnaires et le niveau de risque accepté par les prêteurs, tout en assurant leur développement à long terme, notamment par le jeu des politiques d'acquisition. A travers l'examen du comportement d'un certain nombre des grandes entreprises françaises et étrangères, les auteurs présentent la place de la notation dans la gestion stratégique de la firme et s'interrogent sur l'interaction entre la rentabilité et le risque dans l'appréciation portée par le «rating». [eng] Rating and company management. In evaluating a debtor's repayment ability, the purpose of rating is to help the lender assess the risk he is accepting and consequently help him fix the remuneration that he can expect. But, over and above this outside view, rating is also increasingly influencing the strategic choices which companies make, in their endeavours to strike a balance between the profitability demanded by their shareholders and the level of risk accepted by the lenders, not forgetting that they must at the same time insure their long long-term development, principally through takeover policies. By examining the behaviour of some large french and foreign companies, the authors show what place rating takes in a company's strategic management and raise various questions concerning the way in which profitability and risk interact in rating assessment.
