Abstract

This contribution focuses on the links between collective projects and the business devices present in the entrepreneurial dynamic that saw the creation and development of an association of organic fruit and vegetable producers. The question is: how does a collective emerge, constitute and structure itself through its business devices? The contribution is mainly theoretical in two fields of close research: one in management systems and that of the theory of the company based on projects. The latter has already been considered and discussed in the field of entrepreneurship and more particularly in the field of organizational emergence; the originality of this research is in the integration of the two fields of research. It allows to clearly illustrate the role of systems in the development of an entrepreneurial project. The managerial system clearly appears to be the basis for providing the possibility of sustaining a collective project. This research also brings a better understanding of the processes related to the discovery and exploitation of the entrepreneurial opportunity in the agricultural world, especially in the so-called alternative movement.
