La seconde chance de l'entrepreneur : de la faillite à la réussite

Abstract

Entrepreneurship concern all economies, in Belgium or abroad, without exception. In the context of mondialization and strong competition we face at this moment, the support of entrepreneurs is fundamental to stay competitive. Indeed, the entrepreneurial activity is so important because it allows to create wealth and employment. The second chance of the entrepreneur concern people who have made a bankruptcy involuntarily. In our culture, in most of the cases, failure is considered negatively by the various economic players: providers, financial institutions, etc. However, the phenomenon of disappearance is an integral part of the economic development process. The government attempts to implement procedures or make awareness conferences to change the mentality about the failure and to support the bankrupt. Yet from a legal point of view, the results are favorable but from a commercial and relational point of view, the changes are very low. Indeed, the bankruptcy is legally accepted but not societally. The result is that entrepreneurs are eager to start a new project but do not do it through the fear of failure. No one have the infused sciences to know if the activity will be a success or a failure. This is the reason why mistakes are an integral part of the business. The bankrupt has a positive effect and will be considered as learning and not just a miss. In most of the cases, the bankrupt is considered as the way to success. In most of the cases, we can talk about “constructive failure”. This research-thesis has the intention to demonstrate the potential who is hiding behind the second chance of the entrepreneurs and the existing obstacles. That it’s a niche to which one government must be interested in because it presents good prospects for the future.
