La sociología de la empresa en Francia: una construcción progresiva

Abstract

This article analyzes the sociology of enterprise in France that develops from the end of the 1970's and the beginning of the 1980's. The first investigators face a theoretical emptiness, and their works are interested in the identity and cultural phenomena, with the study of micro-cultures and collective sociableness. All this has ended on an intense debate about the concept of culture of enterprise as well as on the distinction between the working culture and the enterprise culture. These contributions form a part of a dominant paradigm personified by the institutional approach which principal figures are Sainsaulieu and Segrestin.
