Résumé
Depuis plusieurs années, l’environnement d’affaires connaît des mutations importantes qui amplifient l’incertitude et qui impliquent que les décisions stratégiques soient prises sans avoir l’assurance que les résultats escomptés soient atteints. Cette incertitude fait naître de nombreux risques, dont ceux de prendre de mauvaises décisions qui pourraient perturber les activités de l’entreprise et compromettre sa pérennité. Pour réduire ces conséquences, la gestion des risques s’affirme de plus en plus comme une capacité stratégique à déployer. Or, on constate que peu de PME s’y engagent de façon active alors que cela peut avoir des effets bénéfiques sur leur performance. Notre étude souhaite éclairer ce constat en s’intéressant aux déterminants favorisant la gestion active des risques chez les PME et aux conséquences sur leur performance globale. Les résultats d’une enquête conduite auprès de 500 PME manufacturières québécoises montrent que la mobilisation des pratiques de gestion active des risques renforce leur performance globale et que cette mobilisation est influencée par les capacités organisationnelles et l’orientation entrepreneuriale. Il s’en suit que pour maintenir durablement leur performance, les dirigeants de PME sont appelés à renforcer les pratiques de gestion des risques en s’appuyant sur leurs capacités organisationnelles et en étant proactifs, innovateurs et preneurs de risque.

Abstract
For several years now, the business environment has been undergoing major changes that amplify uncertainty. This implies that strategic decisions are made without any assurance that the expected results will be achieved. This uncertainty gives rise to many risks, including the risk of making bad decisions that could disrupt the company’s activities and compromise its survival. To reduce these consequences, risk management is increasingly becoming a strategic capability to be deployed. However, we note that few SMEs are actively engaged in this process, even though it can have beneficial effects on their performance. Our study aims to shed light on this observation by examining the factors that encourage active risk management in SMEs and the consequences for their overall performance. The results of a survey conducted among 500 Quebec manufacturing SMEs show that the mobilization of active risk management practices strengthens their overall performance. This mobilization is influenced by organizational capabilities and entrepreneurial orientation. So, to maintain their performance in the long term, SME managers are called upon to strengthen risk management practices by relying on their organizational capabilities and by being proactive, innovative and risk-takers.

Resumen
Desde hace varios años, el entorno empresarial viene experimentando cambios significativos que amplifican la incertidumbre e implican que se tomen decisiones estratégicas sin tener la seguridad de que se logren los resultados esperados. Esta incertidumbre da lugar a muchos riesgos, incluidos los de tomar malas decisiones que podrían perturbar las actividades de la empresa y comprometer su sostenibilidad. Para reducir estas consecuencias, la gestión de riesgos se afirma cada vez más como una capacidad estratégica a implementar. Sin embargo, observamos que pocas PyMES participan activamente en él, aunque tenga efectos beneficiosos en su rendimiento. Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivo arrojar luz sobre esta observación centrándose en los determinantes que favorecen la gestión activa del riesgo en las PyME y las consecuencias en su desempeño general. Los resultados de una encuesta de 500 PyME manufactureras de Quebec muestran que la movilización de prácticas activas de gestión de riesgos fortalece su rendimiento general y que esta movilización está influenciada por las capacidades organizativas y la orientación empresarial. De esto se deduce que para mantener de manera sostenible su desempeño, los gerentes de las PyME están llamados a fortalecer las prácticas de gestión de riesgos, apoyándose en sus capacidades organizacionales y siendo proactivos, innovadores y tomadores de riesgos.
