Michel Marchesnay

Revue française de gestion, 2008, vol. n° 188-189, issue 8, 77-95

Abstract: If entrepreneurship is fashionable in France, it is not sure that the entrepreneur be also. In the the ?entrepreneurial rhetoric?, ideological reflections and historical lever both contribute to confer to the word ?entrepreneur? a (too?) great ?performativity?, beeing partially taken in account by the vast corpus of theories and typologies. Indeed, in the French ?imaginary?, the word ?entrepreneur? refers to other ones, as ?patron?, ?chef d?entreprise? (chief of enterprise), ?dirigeant? (manager or CEO) with different meanings, legitimities, according to the speaker or listener.
