Abstract

The business creation process is based on the entrepreneur's initiatives as the main actor of interactions at the heart of the business community. It determines the selection of the environment in which it wishes to develop the identified business opportunities. This approach assumes that the entrepreneur adapts his behavior according to the perception and interpretation of the business opportunities he discovers in his environment, based on his own cognitive abilities. The seizure of opportunities thus appears as a process of cognitive construction that engages the dimensions of the geo-environmental space. We explore the logic of this construction and we propose an interpretation of this staging for the period from 2001 to 2009 on the directory of companies created and recorded in Congolese national statistics.
