Abstract

[eng] them bringing the possibility of ever-spreading disequilïbriums, leading to a twist of strategie spaces and choices. In spite of that, the elements of a model are settled, integrating physical and financial decisions. But the examination of the main features of short-run evolutions shows that a general theory of choices and constraints of the firm is unlikely, and daims a new (systemic) methology. A scheme of measurement is suggested. Dealing with the conditions of a balanced growth, it makes possible a prices-volumes analysis of flows and stocks. The nature and extent of disequilïbriums are, in that way, easy to identify, so that the real conditions of strategic arbitrages, taking place in a distorted strategic space, may be worked out. [fre] Après avoir procédé à un réexamen des aspects théoriques de la croissance de la firme, on propose un modèle de mesure et d'aide au diagnostic. L'analyse distingue l'optique de long terme (croissance équilibrée, croissance optimale) et celle de court terme. La première n'est qu'une référence hypothétique : la succession des courts termes est la seule réalité, qui porte en elle un potentiel de propagation des déséquilibres et de déformation de l'espace stra­tégique. On propose néanmoins une approche globale intégrant les choix financiers et réels. Mais l'examen des phénomènes de court terme indique l'improbabilité d'une théorie générale des objectifs et des contraintes de la firme, et exige une nouvelle méthodologie.. Un modèle de mesure est proposé qui, s'appuyant sur les conditions d'équilibre de la croissance, permet une analyse prix-volumes appliquée aux flux et aux stocks. La nature des déséquilibres peut ainsi être localisée et évaluée ; «les condi­tions de l'arbitrage stratégique, dans un espace stratégique déformé, peuvent alors être supputées.
