Abstract

(VF)L'objectif de cet article est de faire une synthèse des théories de la gouvernance. Dans la première partie sont présentées les théories micro de la gouvernance en opposant les théories cognitives aux théories diciplinaires. La seconde partie est dévolue aux théories macro de la gouvernance sur la base de la distinction entre les théories fondées sur l'appropriation de la rente organisationnelle et celles accordant un rôle dominant à la production. Cette synthèse met en évidence que la vision financière de la gouvernance n'est qu'un cas très particulier qui présente de nombreuses limites;(VA)The objective of this article is to make a survey of the different corporate governance theories. In the first part, we present the micro theories by opposing the disciplinary view to the knowledge-based view. The second part deals with the macro or national systems theories. We separate the theories based on appropriation of the organizational rent from those attributing a dominant role to production. This survey highlights that the financial view of corporate governance is only a very particular case, which presents many limits.
