Résumé
Pour demeurer compétitives, les PME manufacturières doivent être créatives et innovantes. Seulement certaines d’entre elles relèvent ce défi. Malgré cette importance de la créativité, elle demeure peu étudiée au sein des PME, surtout des PME manufacturières. Comme le propriétaire-dirigeant joue un rôle central dans le développement des capacités créatives de son entreprise, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser à lui. Nous avons donc étudié le cas de cinq PME manufacturières québécoises créatives. L’analyse ne nous a pas permis de dégager le profil type d’un dirigeant de PME manufacturière créative, mais a confirmé le rôle de catalyseur joué par ce dernier. Les résultats tendent également à montrer que les PME manufacturières créatives sont dirigées par des propriétaires-dirigeants à « double personnalité », c’est-à-dire ayant une capacité d’ambidextérité. C’est ce qui expliquerait en grande partie pourquoi certaines PME manufacturières peuvent être qualifiées de créatives.

Abstract
Manufacturing SMEs need to be creative and innovative to stay competitive, but only some of them meet this challenge. Despite the significance of creativity, this area is still under-studied in the context of SMEs, especially manufacturing SMEs. As owner-managers play a key role in developing the creative abilities of their companies, we have chosen to focus on them. We therefore studied five creative Quebec manufacturing SMEs. Even though our analysis did not reveal a typical profile for owner-managers of creative manufacturing SMEs, the results confirm their role as a catalyst. The results also suggest that creative manufacturing SMEs are run by owner-managers with a “dual personality.” This ambidexterity could explain in large part why some manufacturing SMEs are considered creative.

Resumen
Para mantener su competitividad, las PyMe manufactureras necesitan ser creativas e innovadoras. Solo algunas superan este reto. A pesar de su importancia, la creatividad es un tema poco estudiado en el contexto de las PyMe, y menos aún en el de las PyMe manufactureras. Decidimos concentrarnos en el propietario-director, dado que este juega un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de la capacidad creativa de su empresa. Por lo tanto, estudiamos cinco PyMe manufactureras creativas quebequenses. Aunque nuestro análisis no generó un perfil estándar del propietario-director de una PyMe manufacturera creativa, los resultados confirman su papel catalizador. Los resultados sugieren además que las PyMe manufactureras creativas están dirigidas por propietarios-dirigentes con una «doble personalidad». Esta capacidad ambidextra podría explicar, en gran parte, por qué algunas PyMe manufactureras pueden considerarse creativas.
