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…

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…
La rationalité simonienne : interprétations et enjeux épistémologiques
1999
Since economics focuses on individual behaviour and implicitly adopt a methodological individualism, an individual rationality hypothesis must be laid down. Beyond the usual substantive rationality hypothesis, others forms of individual rationality can be found in economics theory. They are often related to the Simon's bounded rationality hypothesis. In the economics literature the meanings of the bounded rationality hypothesis are obviously diverse and sometimes based on a partial or superficial readings of Simon's writings. Moreover, each one of these meanings is implicitly closely linked with a particular methodological and epistemological position. Based on careful readings of Simon's w…
Moyen Âge : entre ordre et désordre
2004
La musique tient une place toute particulière dans la civilisation de l'Occident médiéval. Elle est à la fois le reflet immatériel de l'harmonie du monde supraterrestre et le fruit de l'activité musicale des hommes. Dans les deux cas, elle ordonne, règle, accorde. Elle reflète, exprime et installe un ordre qui dépasse l'homme et s'inscrit au plus profond de sa chair : de la musique des sphères aux pulsations vitales des organismes les plus primitifs, la musique irrigue le monde créé et le transcende. Il n'est pas surprenant dans ces conditions que les commanditaires et les artistes médiévaux aient eu recours si abondamment à la représentation figurée pour exprimer leur vision de la musique.…
Les rationalités des sciences humaines
2014
International audience; L’axe dans lequel nous nous situons s’intitule « Approches actuelles de la rationalité », et le pluriel est bienvenu, car les sciences sont faites de diversité. Non seulement de diversité entre les sciences expérimentales et les sciences humaines, non pas seulement entre sciences humaines, mais aussi entre représentations de ce qu’est une science, entre représentations de la science, de la démarche scientifique. Il existe bien entendu des débats sur tous ces plans. Bien des philosophes – au premier rang desquels Dilthey – ont voulu distinguer la position scientifique particulière des sciences humaines par rapport aux sciences expérimentales. Si nous recevons sa pensé…
Genesis and destiny : for a dynamogenic’s conception of the myths
2012
If the myth has become today an unavoidable fact to understand the human soul and its different forms of expression, it remains, however, ambiguous and hardly conceptualizing. Indeed, the myth is at once understood as a fictitious narrative which isn’t based on any in-depth reality, but also as a real and highly significant discourse. In order to underline the philosophical meaning of our work, we have begun by assert the myth problem such as it evolves in the European thought. The myth is badly affected by a too long history; it has been divided between rationalism and romanticism. Then, we have questioned other civilizations – Fon from Dahomey, Benin – for whose myth represents all the hu…
