Résumé
Les enjeux de la durabilité offrent des possibilités considérables d’innovations durables (ID) aux entreprises. Pour en profiter, les dirigeants peuvent s’impliquer dans le développement de ces innovations en exerçant trois rôles essentiels : champion durable, entrepreneur durable et leader durable. L’approche par les traits utilisée pour révéler ces rôles est insuffisante pour comprendre comment les dirigeants parviennent à développer des ID dans différents contextes. Nous proposons une approche comportementale pour répondre à cette question tout en insistant sur la relation complémentaire entre les trois rôles. Au terme de l’exploration de deux cas d’ID développées par des PME, nos résultats montrent que pour réaliser ces innovations, les dirigeants de PME jouent les trois rôles et les intègrent en se comportant comme des observateurs actifs, des bricoleurs et des réseauteurs ainsi qu’en composant avec les événements constitutifs des contextes dans lesquels ils évoluent. Notre étude conclut en suggérant un modèle intégré qui présente les trois rôles et les comportements par lesquels ils sont activés comme les dimensions constituantes d’un construit unique : l’éco-innovateur.

Abstract
The sustainability issues offer considerable possibilities for sustainability-oriented innovations (SOI) to firms. To take advantage of it managers must be involved in the development of these innovations by playing three main roles: sustainable champion, sustainable entrepreneur and sustainable leader. The trait approach used to reveal these roles is insufficient to understand how managers succeed in developing SOI in various contexts. We propose a behavioral approach to answer this question while insisting on the complementary relationship between the three roles. At the end of the exploration of two case of SOI made by SMEs, our results show that to develop these innovations, SME’s managers undertake the three roles by behaving as active observers, handyman and networkers as well as composing with the constitutive events of the contexts in which they evolve. Our study concludes by suggesting an integrated model which presents the three roles and the behaviors by which they are enabled as the constituent dimensions of a single construct : the eco-innovator.

Resumen
Las puestas de durabilidad ofrecen posibilidades considerables de innovaciones sostenibles (IS) a las empresas. Para sacar provecho de eso los dirigentes pueden implicarse tres papeles esenciales entre los que están los de campeón sostenible, de empresario sostenible y de líder sostenible. La aproximación por las rayas utilizada en la literatura para describir estos papeles es insuficiente para comprender cómo los dirigentes llegan a desarrollar IS en diferentes contextos. La exploración de dos casos IS desarrolladas en contexto de PyME permite ver que el enfoque comportamental que proponemos es adaptado más para ilustrar lo que hacen los dirigentes. Nuestros resultados muestran que para desarrollar IS, nuestros dirigentes de PyME juegan los tres papeles comportándose como observadores activos, personas mañosas y networkers. Nuestro estudio concluye sugiriendo un modelo integrado que presenta los tres papeles y los comportamientos subyacentes como las dimensiones constituyentes de construido único : el eco-innovador.
