Abstract

[eng] By considering the firm as a knowledge processor instead of an information processor, we show in this paper that the dimensions of the theory of the firm (existence, coherence and frontier of the firm...) have to be reconsidered and become more adequate to experiments and facts. In a first part, we distinguish the conceptual differences between information and knowledge. In the second, we analyse the implications on basic concepts of industrial economics and finally, in the third, we discuss the consequences of these considerations on the theory of the firm. [fre] En considérant la firme non plus comme un processeur d'information mais comme un processeur de connaissances, nous nous proposons dans cet article de montrer que les dimensions de la théorie de la firme (existence de la firme, cohérence de l'organisation, frontières...) est susceptible d'être renouvelée et améliorée selon des perspectives qui respectent davantage l'observation des expérimentations et des faits. Dans une première partie, nous reviendrons sur la distinction fondamentale qui sépare analytiquement les concepts d'information et de connaissance. Dans une deuxième partie, nous chercherons de manière plus appronfondie à examiner les implications de cette distinction sur les concepts de base de l'économie industrielle. Puis, dans une troisième partie de l'article, nous discuterons des conséquences de ce regard nouveau sur la théorie de la firme.
