Abstract

Meta‐organization is a recent concept that draws attention of management academics. It allows to renew the private‐public partnership approach. There is still little research on meta‐organizations as contributing to sustainable development (Berkowitz and Bor, 2018) as well as to their resources, including mechanisms supporting resilience (Berkowitz, 2018). This paper focuses on the absorptive or resilience capacity of a meta‐organization in the field of sustainable food. Food governance on territories has become a major issue over the past few years. The issue is recently taken in charge by collectives bringing together public and private partners, generally civil society, around food perceived as a common. The study is qualitative and based on the case of a local food policy council in France. Refering to resilience theory (Weick, 1993) and adopting a grounded theory methodology, we identify the characteristics of meta‐organizational resilience. We then discuss the relationship between the resilience of a meta‐organization and social transformation and contribute to the knowledge of policy‐shaper meta‐organizations. Finally, in this case we show how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) and the public authorities meet around a food common, making meta‐organization an expression of institutional diversity in the deployment of the commons. Le concept de méta‐organisation (MO) est récent en sciences de gestion et fait l'objet d'une attention croissante de la part de la communauté scientifique. Il permet de renouveler l'approche des partenariats publics‐privés. Encore peu de travaux s'intéressent aux méta‐organisations en tant que contribuant au développement durable (Berkowitz et Bor, 2018) ainsi qu’à leurs ressources, notamment les mécanismes qui encouragent la résilience (Berkowitz, 2018). Nous nous intéressons ici à la capacité de résilience d'une méta‐organisation dans le champ de l'alimentation durable. La gouvernance alimentaire des territoires devient depuis quelques années un enjeu majeur. La question est récemment prise en charge par des collectifs réunissant partenaires publics et privés, généralement de type société civile, autour de l'alimentation perçue comme un commun. L’étude est qualitative et se base sur le cas d'un Conseil local de politique alimentaire : le Conseil Lyonnais de l'Alimentation Durable (CLAD). A partir de la théorie de la résilience (Weick, 1993) et selon l'approche de la théorie ancrée, nous montrons les caractéristiques d'une résilience méta‐organisationnelle. Nous discutons ensuite des rapports entre résilience d'une méta‐organisation et transformation sociale et contribuons à la connaissance des méta‐organisations de type dit “policy shaper”, c'est‐à‐dire qui contribuent à l’élaboration de politiques publiques. Enfin, ce cas nous montre comment l'économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) et les pouvoirs publics se rencontrent autour d'un commun de l'alimentation, faisant de la méta‐organisation une expression de la diversité institutionnelle dans le déploiement des communs.
