Résumé
La stratégie politique visant à gérer les parties prenantes de l’entreprise peut être explorée par l’articulation de la théorie des parties prenantes et de l’analyse des réseaux complexes. Les parties prenantes apparaissent comme structurées sous la forme d’un réseau de « petits mondes », c’est-à-dire comme un ensemble de clusters denses faiblement reliés entre eux. Ces réseaux sont soumis à des chocs systémiques aléatoires ou intentionnels qui influencent l’urgence de la situation à laquelle fait face l’entreprise et la légitimité de ses actions. L’encastrement de l’entreprise (fort ou faible) et la nature du choc (aléatoire ou intentionnelle) détermine le choix de l’entreprise entre une stratégie politique réactive, accommodante, proactive ou défensive.
Mots-clés :
- parties prenantes,

Abstract
The political strategy aimed at managing the firm's stakeholders can be explored through the articulation of stakeholder theory and the analysis of complex networks. Stakeholders appear as structured in the form of a network of "small worlds", that is, as a set of dense clusters with weak interconnections. These networks are subject to random or intentional systemic shocks that influence the urgency of the situation facing the firm and the legitimacy of its actions. The embedding of the firm (strong or weak) and the nature of the shock (random or intentional) determines the choice of the firm between a reactive, accommodating, proactive or defensive political strategy.
Keywords:
- stakeholders,
- complex networks,
- small worlds,
- industrial restructuring
Resumen
La estrategia política que busca administrar las partes interesadas de la empresa puede ser explorada a través de la articulación de la teoría de las partes interesadas y el análisis de redes complejas. Las partes interesadas aparecen como estructuras con forma de red de "pequeños mundos", es decir, como un conjunto de clústers densos que poseen una relación débil entre ellos. Estas redes se encuentran expuestas a choques sistémicos aleatorios o intencionales que influencian la urgencia de la situación que enfrenta la empresa y la legitimidad de sus acciones. La integración de la empresa (fuerte o débil) y la naturaleza del choque (aleatorio o intencional) determina la elección de la empresa, entre una estrategia política reactiva, acomodativa, proactiva o defensiva.
Palabras clave:
- partes interesadas,
- redes complejas,
