Abstract

Dans cet article nous revisitons le concept de technostructure forgé par John K. Galbraith dans Le nouvel État industriel, en le resituant dans son analyse de l'évolution des structures du capitalisme, et plus précisément du passage du capitalisme entrepreneurial au capitalisme de la grande entreprise. En distinguant d'une part la figure de l'entrepreneur et d'autre part les fonctions de l'entrepreneur, nous montrons que si la figure de l'entrepreneur disparaît progressivement, elle est supplantée par la technostructure qui est amenée à remplir les fonctions autrefois dévolues à l'entrepreneur. En confrontant le point de vue de Galbraith avec les théories de l'entrepreneur et les théories managériales de l'entreprise, nous mettons en lumière l'originalité et la spécificité de l'analyse de Galbraith qui, en retenant une conception « gestionnaire » de l'entrepreneur, propose une théorie de la grande entreprise qui « dérive » de sa théorie de l'entrepreneur. Classification JEL : B25, L21, L26.
