Abstract

Associant les travaux sur la « nouvelle firme » (Zingales, 2000) aux inflexions récentes de la Responsabilité Sociale de l'Entreprise (RSE), cet article montre que les entreprises utilisent désormais la RSE comme instrument de gouvernance d'entreprise. Cette conception instrumentale de la RSE est corroborée par une étude empirique de l'industrie française des télécommunications. L'étude des documents officiels et d'entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès des responsables de la RSE chez les opérateurs français de téléphonie atteste que la RSE est utilisée pour mettre en œuvre des dispositifs formels et informels de gouvernance d'entreprise, complémentaires de ceux du modèle actionnarial, dans une logique de pérennisation des relations d'emploi et de sous-traitance créatrices de valeur ajoutée.
