Abstract

This article attempts to understand through a conceptual approach the effects of public Investor-Capital (I.C.) "resources" on the performance of firms through innovation. In connection with the neo-institutional approach, we show that even if the construction of private equity activity in France can reveal the effects of mimetic isomorphisms, different managerial and financial behaviors in a cognitive framework of governance. With a proposed definition of innovation, we highlight the strategic character of "resources" and more particularly of the financing that can be granted to the company. Using the resource-based view approach, we observe that through a process of exchange and value creation and thanks to different cognitive levers, the impact of public investor-capital financing on innovation cannot be universal.
