Résumé
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’identifier les barrières à l’Innovation Organisationnelle (IO) en distinguant les phases de son processus d’adoption. Six études de cas d’entreprises industrielles françaises ayant adopté le Lean Management nous permettent de recueillir une perception multi-acteurs des barrières et de les hiérarchiser. Nos résultats montrent notamment que les barrières internes et celles relatives aux attributs de l’IO devancent celles relatives aux coûts de l’innovation et à son financement qui priment généralement pour les innovations technologiques. Nous montrons aussi que ces barrières, loin d’être insurmontables, peuvent jouer un rôle de « stimulant managérial ».

Abstract
This paper strives to identify the barriers to Organizational Innovations (OI). Through six case studies of French manufacturing firms which have adopted an OI such as Lean Management, I gather multi-actor perceptions on the barriers to OI, and distinguish the different phases of this process. The results obtained provide a ranking of barriers and highlight that internal ones, particularly those linked to human resources, are the most important, even more than costs of innovation and difficulties in funding. I show that barriers can become “managerial stimulants” and dress some recommendations for firms and public actors who support OI projects.
Keywords:
- Barriers to innovation,
- Organizational innovation,
- Lean management
Resumen
Esta investigación busca identificar las barreras a la Innovación Organizacional (IO). Con el caso de seis empresas industriales francesas que han adoptado una IO como el Lean Manufacturing, analizamos la percepción que tienen múltiples actores de las barreras a la IO e identificamos las fases del proceso. Los resultados nos permiten jerarquizar las barreras : mostramos que las barreras internas, como aquellas relacionadas a los recursos humanos, son más importantes que otras, inclusive aquellas relacionadas con costos, y que pueden jugar el papel de “estimulantes gerenciales”. Presentamos algunas sugerencias para empresas y actores del sector público que promueven proyectos de IO.
