Résumé
En réponse à des appels à contribution au sujet des processus entrepreneuriaux des entreprises à internationalisation rapide et précoce (EIRP), cet article examine la démarche entrepreneuriale d’un dirigeant d’EIRP au cours de l’évolution du cycle de vie organisationnel de l’entreprise créée. Pour ce faire, nous mobilisons les concepts de bricolage, d’effectuation et de planification. Le décryptage de l’évolution dans le temps de ces trois comportements organisationnels permet de saisir avec précision la dynamique plurielle et singulière du processus entrepreneurial d’entreprises qui, dès leur création, intègrent les contraintes et les opportunités de la globalisation. À cette fin, l’étude de cas longitudinale d’une EIRP française analyse les comportements qui sous-tendent les trois approches et leur mutation au cours des six étapes de son processus entrepreneurial : l’idéation, la préparation du lancement, le démarrage, la croissance internationale, la maturité et le déclin. L’analyse fournit une compréhension des situations qui requièrent davantage une approche causale, une approche relevant du bricolage ou encore de l’effectuation.

Abstract
In response to calls for contributions on the entrepreneurial processes of International New Ventures (INV), this article examines the INV leader’s entrepreneurial approach during the evolution of the organization’s life cycle. To do so, we mobilize the bricolage, effectuation and causation concepts. We investigate the evolution of these three organizational behaviors over time to grasp the peculiar dynamics of the entrepreneurial process of a company that, from its creation, integrated globalization constraints and opportunities. To this end, the longitudinal case study of a French INV analyzes the behaviors that underlie the three approaches and their mutation during the six stages of its entrepreneurial process : ideation, launching preparation, start-up, international growth, maturity and decline. The study provides an understanding of situations that require more of a causal, bricolage or effectuation approach.

Resumen
En respuesta a los llamados a contribuciones acerca de los procesos emprendedores de las empresas que nacen globales, este artículo examina el comportamiento emprendedor del creador de empresa nacida global durante la evolución del ciclo de vida de la organización. Para ello, movilizamos los conceptos de bricolaje, efectuación y planeación. Descifrar la evolución en el tiempo de estos tres comportamientos emprendedores nos permite captar con precisión las dinámicas complejas y peculiares del proceso emprendedor de las empresas que, desde su inicio, integran los retos y oportunidades de la globalización. Con este fin, el estudio de caso longitudinal de una empresa nacida global francesa analiza los comportamientos subyacentes a las tres aproximaciones y su evolución durante las seis etapas de su proceso emprendedor : ideación, preparación de lanzamiento, puesta en marcha, crecimiento, madurez internacional y declive. El análisis proporciona una comprensión de las situaciones que requieren principalmente de un enfoque de planeación, un enfoque de bricolaje o de efectuación.
