Abstract

A partir d'une enquête originale sur l'ensemble des PME de biotechnologie en France, cet article propose une typologie de trajectoires de développement. Cette typologie vise à classer les entreprises de biotechnologie en fonction des caractéristiques propres des entreprises et des relations avec leur environnement. L'étude révèle en effet une trajectoire à succès, qui ne représente qu'une minorité de cas, et trois trajectoires plus disparates. Certaines entreprises connaissent une croissance régulière mais non exponentielle de l'effectif et du chiffre d'affaires. D'autres sont adossées à une maison mère, les dernières enfin ont été rachetées par de grosses firmes industrielles.
