Abstract

Literature on Inter-Organizational Restructuring (IOR) among nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is mostly focused on US mergers. Despite the diversity of its IOR practices, the French context remains underresearched. Based on an online survey sent to a wide sample of NPOs, we highlight the existence of innovative IOR practices in France. The paper explores the diverse forms and motives of IOR that French NPOs carry out in a context of increasingly strong constraining forces. Our findings show that market orientation cannot fully explain the diversity of IOR practices and corroborate the centrality of the social and political perspectives in IOR.
La littérature sur les restructurations inter organisationnelles (RIO) dans le champ associatif est centrée sur des fusions observées aux Etats-Unis. Malgré la diversité des pratiques en matière de RIO, le contexte français est peu connu. Une enquête en ligne sur un large échantillon d’associations met en évidence l’existence de pratiques innovantes en France. L’article explore les diverses formes et motivations des RIO que les associations françaises adoptent dans un contexte de plus en plus contraignant. Nos résultats montrent que les mécanismes de marché ne peuvent pas expliquer toute la diversité observée et corroborent la centralité des perspectives sociales et politiques.
