Résumé
Dans cette recherche, nous examinons les effets de la professionnalisation du conseil d’administration (CA) dans les PME sur sa participation au processus de décision stratégique. À partir d’un échantillon de 186 PME françaises, nous montrons que la professionnalisation du CA, tant par la formalisation de son fonctionnement que par la présence de connaissances et de compétences, est un déterminant majeur de sa participation au processus stratégique. Ces résultats contribuent aux perspectives cognitives et comportementales de l’étude des organes de gouvernance au sein des PME.

Abstract
In this research, we examine the effects of SMEs board professionalization on its participation in the strategic decision process. From a sample of 186 French SMEs, we show that the professionalization of the board, both through the formalization of its operation and by the presence of knowledge and skills, is a major determinant of its participation in the strategic process. These results contribute to the cognitive and behavioral perspectives of the study of SMEs governance.
