Pour une théorie de l’appropriation des outils de gestion : vers un dépassement de l’opposition conception-usage

Wishing to break with a design-use dichotomy still heavily present in the study of the management tools, the article introduces various theoretical framework of management sciences by integrating them from an "appropriative perspective".The first part develops the object and the problems of the appropriation of the management tools, along with various possible views of the phenomenon. The second part advances two broad theories of the appropriation the ’design in use theory’ and the "implementation theory", which makes it possible to answer in a coherent way the problematic, by integrating objects and views mobilized in the preceding part. The analysis is completed by an opening on the evolution and the control of the management tools from an appropriative point of view.
