Abstract

L’objectif de cet article est de présenter les résultats d’une enquête qui a été réalisée en 2009 auprès de futurs entrepreneurs, en stage à la Chambre des métiers du Nord - Pas de Calais, afin d’identifier leur profil (âge, sexe, études, expérience professionnelle, etc.), leurs ressources (en connaissances, capital et relations sociales ou potentiel de ressources) qu’ils valorisent pour réaliser leur projet et leurs motivations (innovation, chômage, etc.). La dimension territoriale est importante car ces futurs entrepreneurs sont les acteurs d’un territoire qui se caractérise par un faible dynamisme entrepreneurial. Ils créent une entreprise dans le NPC parce qu’ils y vivent, pour y créer leur emploi. The aim of this article is to present the results of a case study undertaken in the Nord-Pas de Calais region in northern France in 2009.We interviewed future entrepreneurs, during their training period at the Chamber of Trade, to identify their profile (age, gender, education, professional activity, their resources (in knowledge, capital and social relations, or their resource potential) and their motivations (innovation or unemployment). The territory played an important role in this study, being characterized by low entrepreneurial dynamics. These future entrepreneurs are creating their own businesses in the Nord-Pas de Calais because they live here and have no other employment.
