Résumé
La recherche en sciences de gestion a connu trois grandes périodes : le fondamentalisme (recherche de la bonne et unique solution), la contingence (l’efficacité dépend de l’adaptation et de la cohérence du concept et de la situation), et le processus (les concepts ne correspondent plus à des notions discrètes mais à des phénomènes dont l’évolution même constitue le sens). Cet article se propose de présenter les recherches récentes en entrepreneuriat relevant d’une approche axée sur le processus, et de montrer ce qu’elles apportent pour une meilleure connaissance et compréhension du phénomène entrepreneurial.

Abstract
Research in management sciences has known three great periods : fundamentalism (research of the good and unique solution), contingency (efficiency depends on the adaptation and coherence of the concept and of the situation) and process (concepts no longer correspond to discrete notions but to phenomena whose very evolution constitutes their meaning). This article aims at presenting the recent research in entrepreneurship with an approach in terms of process and at showing what they bring for a better knowledge and understanding of the entrepreneurial phenomenon.
Resumen
La investigación en ciencias de gestion conoció tres grandes períodos : el fondamentalismo (búsqueda de la buena y única solución), la contingencia (la eficacia depende de la adaptación y la coherencia del concepto y de la situación) y el procedimiento (los conceptos ya no corresponden a nociones discretas sino a fenómenos cuya evolución constituye en sí el sentido). El propósito de este artículo consiste en presentar las recientes investigaciones empresariales relativas a su acercamiento en lo que toca al procedimiento y de mostrar que contribuyen a un conocimiento más amplio y a una comprensión del fenómeno empresarial.
