Abstract
Les start-up sont désormais entrées dans le jargon populaire. Le terme luimême est ambigu. En effet « start-up » signifie « démarrer », autrement dit, l’entité considérée est une création d’entreprise, mais dans la pratique, elle est essentiellement rattachée à une entreprise innovante attire encore et toujours les individus et les investisseurs. Comment fonctionnent ces entreprises ? Quelles en sont les caractéristiques ? Cet article tente de cerner et synthétiser leurs caractéristiques organisationnelles grâce à la construction de leur idéaltype. En tant qu’entreprises dont l’émergence est insérée dans un contexte de ruptures, les start-up peuvent être révélatrices de nouvelles propositions pour l’organisation du travail et de l’emploi. Start-ups are now well-known even if the term itself seems to be ambiguous. « To start-up » means initially to begin a new business whereas in practice it deals mainly with an innovative company which still attracts individuals and investors. How do these companies operate? What are their distinctive characteristics? This article attempts to define and to typify their organizational features by building their idealtype. As startups have been emerging in a changing context, they might reveal new proposals for the organization of work.
