CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOCIOLOGICAL THEORY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ACTION OF ENTREPRENEURS

This paper sets out a theoretical framework, which is based on the concept of the principles of action (logiques d’action) and which takes account of the sociological complexity of the firm creation. This framework was developed by adapting specific theories developed in sociology of organisations. It deals with two essential aspects: the first relates to the entrepreneur, who is both a strategic actor and a socio-historical product; the second concerns the situation (situation d’action), i.e. the specific time and place (social, organisational, material, etc.) within which the strategic action is undertaken. The paper therefore aims at applying the concept of the principles of action to an analysis of entrepreneurs from a sociological point of view and at shedding some initial light on the complex relationships between the sociological characteristics of the entrepreneur (in particular in terms of his socio-demographic profile on the one hand and his relationship with the working environment on the other hand), his strategic viewpoint with reference to the creation of the firm (his aim and the procedures followed when starting a business and the expectations thereof) and both the creation of the firm and the outcome thereof.
