Abstract

A partir de la théorie du gouvernement des entreprises, nous avons identifié les décisions d'investissements des actionnaires minoritaires classés en fonction de leur statut juridique, leur capacité à collecter et à traiter l'information financière et le type de contrôle qu'ils exercent sur les entreprises françaises afin de déterminer leurs objectifs d'activisme. Cet activisme, processus complexe et varié, fonction de la composition de la coalition dissidente, se caractérise par un ensemble d'activités d'influence : actions judiciaires systématiques et médiatisées ; activités de lobbying ; " batailles de procuration " ponctuelles. L'objectif de ce papier est de proposer, à partir d'une étude qui reste exploratoire, une typologie de l'activisme des actionnaires minoritaires en France.
