A gestaltist approach on the performance of the young innovative technological ventures
Considered one of the main drivers of economic development of a country, the young innovative technological ventures (YITV) are responsible for the introduction of new technologies, exploring business opportunities and the creation of markets for the future. In spite of the considerable interest carried in the performance of YITV (Jiao et al., 2013 ; Chen, 2009 ; Song et al., 2008), research on the determinants have instead adopted a contingency approach that gestalt, while many studies underline the relevance of this latter perspective is to integrate various elements into a holistic approach (Ketchen, Thomas and Snow, 1993 ; Harms et al., 2009 ; Witmeur and Biga Diambeidou, 2010) so as to overcome the conflicts of the contingent approach related to the analysis of a multitude of bivariate relationships (Henninger-Vacher, 1999 ; 2000). The purpose of this research thus is to contribute to a better understanding of the performance of the YITV by the proposal of a gestaltist modeling which joins within the framework of the configurationnel approach. To reach there, a quantitative survey was led with a sample of 95 YITV of the software sector in France. The conclusions of this work can then constitute a key for reading allowing to give an instructive perspective on the privileged ways of the performance of the YITV and to be the object, for the practitioners, of reflections and complementary analyses in their practices even of development of a decision-making tool aimed at the entrepreneurs.
