Abstract

[eng] Investment banks interest holdings have with time increasingly expanded, due unquely to the continuity of their operations. But to conclude from this that predominant and purely financial decision making centers have thus come to be established within the industrial system is a tempting interpretation though one entirely unfounded on actual development.. Even when they remained private, the big basic corporations which the investment banks helped to create, in a more or less distant past, have escaped from their control due to both their size and the competition prevailing between banks.. The same phenomenon is currently observable with respect to smaller size companies where investment banks are sometimes called to play the frequently beneficial role of initiators and movers. But the influence which they thereby acquire tends to diminish once the required restructuration has been accomplished or the difficult periods passed.. Overall, most investment banks interest holdings are a reflection of their past action more than any currently controlling position they may have. [fre] Les participations des banques d'affaires se ramifient avec le temps du seul fait de la continuité de leurs opérations. En déduire que s'instaurent ainsi, dans le système industriel, des centres de décision prépondérants et purement financiers est une interprétation tentante mais contraire à l'évolution réelle.. Déjà, même lorsqu'elles sont restées privées, les grandes entreprises de base telles que les banques d'affaires ont pu, dans un passé plus ou moins éloigné, contribuer à créer, ont échappé à leur contrôle du fait tant des dimensions qu'elles ont atteintes que de la concurrence entre banques.. Le même phénomène se produit présentement pour les entreprises de taille plus modeste où les banques d'affaires sont parfois appelées à jouer un rôle, le plus souvent bénéfique, d'initiative et de mouvement. L'influence qu'elles y acquièrent tend à s'atténuer une fois réalisées les restructurations nécessaires ou franchis les passages difficiles.. Au total, le plus grand nombre des participations des banques d'affaires témoignent de leur action passée beaucoup plus que d'une actuelle position de contrôle.
