Agents of change: Women in top management and corporate environmental performance

2020

International audience; We analyze the influence of gender diversity in top management on the environmental performance of French firms. Consistent with gender socialization theory, which posits that women are raised from childhood to be more nurturing and compassionate for others, we find that firms with more women in top management exhibit higher environmental performance. This result extends those already reported in the literature regarding the effect of gender diversity at board level. We also show that women in top management are associated with several key indicators such as development of eco‐friendly products and commitment to resource reduction. Furthermore, we find that the influ…

Vers une gouvernance d'entreprise effectuale ?

2017

L’effectuation, une forme de rationalite des acteurs mise en avant par Saras Sarasvathy et Herbert Simon, trouve de plus en plus d’applications, notamment dans le domaine de l’entrepreneuriat. Cette rationalite s’applique particulierement lors de la creation d’opportunites d’investissement. L’objectif de cet article est de s’interroger sur les mecanismes favorisant les prises de decision suivant une rationalite effectuale permettant ainsi d’elaborer les fondements d’une gouvernance d’entreprise « effectuale ». Les limites des theories de la gouvernance d’entreprise actuelles sont d’abord mises en avant de facon a montrer ensuite comment integrer l’effectuation. Les specificites d’une gouver…

: Difficulties ans risks of interSME cooperation : solutions provided by private-equity firms

2016

L’article analyse les difficultés et risques auxquels font face les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) lors de la formation de coopérations interfirmes, et les rôles joués par les sociétés de capital-investissement dans leur diminution. Les PME font principalement face à une asymétrie informationnelle et une incertitude accrues en comparaison aux entreprises plus grandes. Les sociétés de capital-investissement permettent de réduire ces deux facteurs et d’instaurer une situation de confiance entre les futurs cocontractants, ce qui évite l’échec de la transaction. Une étude de cas multiples à visée infirmationniste menée sur le marché français du capital-investissement détaille ces princip…

Alliance formation as growth opportunity for non-publicly traded companies: a value-added service provided by private equity investors

2016

We analyze the role of Private Equity firms (PE-Firms) as a governance mechanism, focusing on their role as social intermediaries, helping their portfolio companies to form alliances and thereby spurring entrepreneurial growth. Alliances as long term inter-firm cooperations are considered to be a main source of firm-innovation. External growth via alliances is especially important for small to medium sized companies (SME) – largely dominant in Europe (up to 99%)–, because their internal resources are limited. Since a few years, these facts lead governments to undertake actions aimed to create environments that boost inter-firm linkages and entrepreneurial clusters. In European countries, su…

Entrepreneurs (novices vs. experts) and investors: Interaction and rationality dynamics (effectual vs. causal)

2019

The paper studies the mechanisms that govern the interactions between the entrepreneur (novice or expert) and the specific investors of emerging firms (business angels (BAs) and venture-capital firms (VCs)). Combining both literatures on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial finance, our aim is to understand if the rationalities of these three actors help them or not to interact, and, to study how they influence each other during the firm's growth. In order to do so, we undertake two processual case studies. Our results show that effectual rationality underlines the interaction between the entrepreneur and the BAs at the creation of the firm, whilst causal rationality is helpful in the searc…

La gestion de la diversité cognitive : l’importance du rôle de coordination des investisseurs en start-ups. Une étude exploratoire

2023

International audience; La diversité cognitive est souvent marquée entre les différents investisseurs (business angels et capital-risqueurs) et les dirigeants de start-up. Cette diversité est à la fois source d’innovation et de mécompréhension entre les acteurs. Elle doit donc être coordonnée pour non seulement assurer la survie de l’entreprise mais aussi lui permettre de se développer dans un environnement technologique turbulent. À l’aide d’une étude de cas longitudinale comparative de deux start-ups en relation avec différents investisseurs, nous menons une étude exploratoire pour investiguer la fonction de coordination cognitive. Nous élaborons un modèle des qualités que doit réunir un …

Prediction and Control: The Specific Role of Business Angels in the Investment Process

2019

International audience; Entrepreneurs and related investors (business angels and venture capitalists) rely on different types of rationalities. Extant research suggests that conflicts resulting from misunderstanding can emerge between entrepreneurs and investors when they adopt different rationalities but must switch those rationalities because of the maturity of their ventures and the degree of uncertainty they face. Relying on three in-depth case studies, this research contributes to both entrepreneurship and effectuation literature by emphasizing the specific role of business angels in helping entrepreneurs switch rationalities when necessary to attract funding resources from venture cap…

The role of Private Equity-firms in the formation of strategic alliances

2014

This research analyses the role of Private Equity firms in the formation of strategic alliances within the field of the French Private Equity market. We start to provide evidence of its importance from new survey information, before offering an explanation of the organizational phenomenon. The study addresses the questions of how and why Private Equity firms act as relational intermediaries to help their portfolio companies form alliances. Both questions are investigated in the light of the Private Equity firms’ contribution to the value creation process that comes with alliance formation. Answers are provided by means of three jointly used theoretical frameworks: (1) mainstream theories (t…

CEO’s Letter Accompanying the Report on Corporate social Responsibility of Canadian Listed Firms: An Analysis of the Content and the Links with Some …

2016

International audience; The disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by Canadian firms is not mandatory. This provides an ideal context to describe the nature of what is being freely disclosed by large firms and to study the firms’ characteristics which lead to such disclosure. We searched all TSX listed firms to find those which disclose a CSR report accompanied by a letter from the CEO. In the end, we study 89 CEO’s letters; that is, all the firms disclosing both a CSR report and a CEO’s letter. We first looked at the nature of the elements disclosed. We classified them in 3 categories: (1) actual accomplishments in the field of CSR, (2) values and (3) future objectives. The «a…

Private Equity Investors as Matchmakers: Alliance Formation between PE-backed firms

2016

International audience; Alliances as long term inter-firm cooperation are seen as an important factor of economic growth. They are particularly important for small to medium sized companies whose internal resources are scarce. This article analyses the role of Private Equity Firms that constitute a major source of financing for non-publicly traded small to medium sized companies, in the formation of alliances for their portfolio companies. While previous studies analyse the question in the light of mainstream theories, we rely on the dual theory of the firm, combining the contractual/mainstream view and the knowledge-based view. Contrary to the current literature, our study does not rely on…

Private Equity Firms : Their Rôle in the Formation of Strategic Alliances

2018

International audience; This work analyzes the role of private equity firms (SCIs) in forming strategic alliances in the French private equity market. The subject is important because the formation of alliances and, more generally, the networking of SMEs, could be an alternative to the lack of medium-sized companies in France. For French SCIs, which are increasingly in a competitive situation, assistance in forming alliances for their holdings may represent a new activity and be a source of competitive advantage. The work is positioned transversally, touching the areas of corporate governance, entrepreneurial finance and strategy.
