Abstract

Le contexte socio-culturel africain est tellement particulier en raison de l'économie informelle et du rôle des communautés, qu'il nécessite de bâtir de nouvelles théories, qui ne figurent pas aujourd'hui dans le modèle du « mittelstand » allemand, dans le colbertisme français et l'administration par les règles, dans le patriotisme économique asiatique, dans la décision par consensus au nord de l'Europe, dans le capitalisme familial des pays latins, dans le leadership à l'améri-caine, etc. Pour atteindre cet objectif, la revue RISO encourage des approches de recherche qui combinent différents niveaux d'analyses (macro, méso et micro) en prenant en considération la psychologie des acteurs, la sociologie des groupes, la politique des décideurs, les leviers économiques de croissance, l'histoire des organisations. Les articles sur les réseaux figurant dans ce numéro thématique illustrent cette quête de mieux comprendre les terrains africains, en combinant de multiples niveaux d'analyse, dans la collaboration public-privé, dans la construction d'écosystème avec de multiples parties prenantes, dans le développement d'avantages concurrentiels entre partenaires et concurrents. P r o p r i é t é M P E-N e p a s d i f f u s e r Abstract The socio-cultural context in Africa is so particular because of the informal economy and the role of communities, that it requires the building of new theories, which do not appear today in the Ger-man "mittelstand" model, in the French colbertism and rule-based administration, in Asian economic patriotism, in consensus-based decision in northern Europe, in family capitalism in Latin countries, in American-style leadership, and so on. To achieve this objective, the journal RISO encourages research approaches that combine different levels of analysis (macro, meso and micro) taking into account the psychology of the actors, the sociology of the groups, the policy of the decision makers, the economic levers of growth, the history of organizations. The network articles in this issue illustrate this quest to better understand African terrain, combining multiple levels of analysis, in public-private collaboration, in multi-stakeholder ecosystem building, development of competitive advantages between partners and competitors.
