Abstract

L'intérêt pour les approches par les instruments connaît aujourd'hui un renouveau qu'il est difficile d'ignorer. Par ce terme, nous désignons les travaux qui proposent d'étudier l'action organisée et stratégique, non pas à travers sa substance, ses discours ou les intentions des managers, mais à travers les instrumentations, techniques, scientifiques ou gestionnaires qui sont mises en place pour conduire l'action collective et produire de nouvelles capacités. Etudier l'action organisée à travers son instrumentation ne constitue pas une nouveauté. Ces approches s'inscrivent dans une longue tradition de recherche qui, selon différentes perspectives, a investi cette problématique pour comprendre le foisonnement des instruments et des technologies dans les entreprises à partir de la moitié du XXe siècle et leurs effets sur la dynamique des organisations. Ainsi nous proposons d'analyser les problématiques, les fondements et les apports de ces multiples travaux, au travers d'une approche généalogique nous permettant de replacer ces travaux dans les contextes à la fois théoriques et pratiques dans lesquels ils ont émergé. A partir des années 1960, apparaissent des travaux qui trouvent leur origine au croisement de deux cultures : la modélisation et l'étude des organisations (behaviorisme, approche foucaldienne des organisations). Dans ces premiers travaux, les approches par les instruments visent à expliquer la stabilité des comportements organisationnels. La question de la transformation conjointe des instruments et des organisations apparaît dans les années 90. Nous analysons ici trois approches contemporaines ayant investi cette problématique : l'étude des vagues de rationalisation et des techniques managériales ; l'instrumentation située ; les routines organisationnelles et la « sociomatérialité ». Nous mettons en perspectives ces différents travaux afin d'en expliquer les convergences et les divergences, et d'en proposer une discussion critique. Nous terminons en proposant un agenda de recherche sur une approche du management stratégique par les instruments autour de deux pistes : la conception d'instruments dans une conception de l'agir stratégique et l'articulation de différentes formes d'instrumentation au sein de dispositifs stratégiques cohérents.
