Abstract

Cet article a pour objectif de cerner les caractéristiques organisationnelles actuelles des start-up TIC car, en tant qu’entreprises dont l’émergence est insérée dans un contexte de ruptures, elles peuvent être révélatrices de nouvelles propositions pour l’organisation du travail et de l’emploi. Comment fonctionnent ces entreprises qui ont été écrémées par un séisme violent lors de l’éclatement de la bulle Internet entre 2000 et 2001 ? Qu’en reste-t-il ? Quelles en sont les caractéristiques ? La méthodologie mise en place fait appel à l’idéaltype de Weber, outil heuristique dont le but est d’établir un jalon, un point de repère crédible permettant de simplifier et d’appréhender des phénomènes complexes. La recherche a consisté en la comparaison d’un idéaltype de start-up TIC ante-bulle et d’un idéaltype de start-up TIC post-bulle. Nous avons ainsi relevé des caractéristiques convergentes (stratégie de l’entreprise, type de structure, culture, style de leadership…) et d’autres divergentes (financement, dimension de l’entreprise, relation individus / travail…) This article aims to identify organizational characteristics of the current start-up ICT because, as enterprises whose emergence is involved in a context of ruptures, they can reveal new proposals for the organization of work and employment. How do these companies that have been shaken up by a violent crisis when the Internet bubble burst between 2000 and 2001 still work? What are the characteristics of those companies? What is left of them? The methodology in place uses the idealtype Weber, heuristic tool whose purpose is to establish a milestone, a credible benchmark to simplify and understand complex phenomena. The research consisted of a comparison between an idealtype ICT start-up ante-bubble (before the Internet bubble burst) and a idealtype ICT start-up post-bubble (after the Internet bubble burst). We have thus identified some converging characteristics (ie: business strategy, type of structure, culture, leadership style…) and other divergent (financing, size of business, individuals relationship / work…)
