[more ▼] Après un examen de la littérature sur la prévention des défaillances d’entreprises, force est de constater que, à ce jour, peu de recherches proposent une typologie statique, à savoir différentes catégories de profils de défaillance, ou une typologie dynamique, à savoir différentes trajectoires-types de défaillance, des entreprises en difficulté et qu’aucune d’entre elles ne se focalisent réellement sur les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) alors que la littérature démontre que la défaillance de ce type d’entreprises est importante et particulière. Après avoir détecté ces lacunes dans la littérature, la présente communication propose, à partir d’une analyse qualitative exploratoire de 50 entreprises en difficulté, une typologie des micros et petites entreprises en difficulté, matérialisée par sept catégories d’entreprises en difficulté affichant un profil de défaillance spécifique [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 133 (14 ULg) The business failure process : an integrative modelCrutzen, Nathalie ![]() Conference (2008, February) Detailed reference viewed: 28 (7 ULg) Le pilotage et la mesure de l’empreinte sociétale de l’entreprise grâce à la Balanced ScoreCard : entre adaptation et évolution radicale du modèle de Kaplan et NortonCrutzen, Nathalie ; Van Caillie, Didier ![]() Conference (2007, November) Vu l’intérêt croissant porté par les entreprises aux aspects sociaux et environnementaux, la présente communication propose une revue des principales contributions montrant l’importance et les enjeux de ... [more ▼] Vu l’intérêt croissant porté par les entreprises aux aspects sociaux et environnementaux, la présente communication propose une revue des principales contributions montrant l’importance et les enjeux de la prise en compte des dimensions sociales et environnementales (de la RSE) dans les systèmes de contrôle de gestion des entreprises. Plus spécifiquement, face aux limites de nombreux outils pour piloter et mesurer adéquatement l’empreinte sociétale des entreprises, ce papier met en évidence les avantages présentés par la Balanced ScoreCard (BSC), un outil de contrôle de gestion développé par Kaplan et Norton (1992) et mondialement connu, pour prendre en compte ces nouvelles dimensions. Cette communication expose ensuite comment cet outil peut éventuellement être adapté afin de prendre en compte ces nouveaux impératifs (sociaux et environnementaux) dans le système de contrôle de gestion traditionnel de l’entreprise. Deux possibilités sont particulièrement envisagées : le découplage ou l’intégration des aspects sociétaux aux aspects traditionnels. Une analyse critique des principaux enseignements des recherches précédentes ainsi que des différentes possibilités d’adaptation de la BSC clôture finalement ce papier.

[more ▼] Considering the fragmented literature dedicated to business failure prevention and considering the need for a unifying conceptual framework on how and why companies fail, the aim of this paper is to gather the findings from the multiple studies focused on the identification of failure factors and of failure paths, in order to propose a unifying model showing the chronological combination of the diverse factors leading a company to bankruptcy. An in-depth analysis of the existing literature and of its limitations leads us to the elaboration of an original integrative model on how and why companies fail. It is founded on a resource-based view of the firm (Wernerfelt, 1984) and it represents the different general phases through which a company goes by in its evolution towards its juridical failure. Moreover it emphasizes the fact that all companies do not necessarily follow the same paths before they disappear (Argenti, 1976).

[more ▼] During the last seven decades, business failure has been one of the most investigated topic in the accounting literature . However, most of this literature is focused either on a prediction perspective considered in a credit-risk management perspective or on a purely technical perspective allowing to test the ability of some new statistical or mathematical technique to correctly predict a potential failure (Morris, 1997). Simultaneously, relatively few attention has been paid to the identification of typical failure paths allowing to understand how a company may decline and allowing then to interfere with this process to really prevent such a final bankruptcy. (Laitinen, 1995). In this paper, we analyse financial statements published by 11 800 Belgian SMEs that were active during the period 1995 – 2003 ; for each of them, we estimate the Legal Failure Risk that characterizes their financial statements (this indicator is built by integrating the two financial aspects effectively taken into account by the Belgian Business Law to define a legal bankruptcy, i.e. unsolvency and illiquidity ) and we analyze how this indicator evolves over a long period and which are the other financial aspects (in terms of value added, profitability, financial structure and assets structure) that provoke such an evolution. As a result, we are able to isolate seven typical patterns of evolution amongst failing Belgian SMEs and we are able to describe, for each year and up to seven years before a fatal deterioration, the financial pattern of deterioration in which they are engaged. These results are obtained by implementing a specific statistical approach, essentially based on a mix of cluster analysis on longitudinal data and of correspondence analysis on the same data.

[more ▼] Research related to the prevention of business failure is surveyed in this paper. More specifically, the evolution of the accounting literature on business failure from a predictive to a preventive perspective is explained. After a clarification of the concept of business failure prevention, the main features of representative studies are presented and analysed. These studies are compared in terms of dynamics of the results proposed, of failure stage(s) studied, of conceptual approach privileged, of research object and of methodology used to obtain results. A typology of the research on business failure prevention is then proposed on the basis of two pertinent differentiating criteria: the dynamics of the contributions and the failure stage(s) taken into consideration. This paper finally stresses current limitations of business failure prevention literature, particularly the need for a consensus on how and why firms fail and the lack of investigation about typical failure profiles and paths. Potentialities for future progress in the field are discussed at the end of the paper.
