La recherche menée dans le cadre de cette thèse aborde la thématique des transferts de compétences. Plus précisément, notre recherche vise à étudier les transferts de compétences dans le cadre de relations inter-organisationnelles spécifiques, celles qu’entretiennent les joint-ventures euro-algériennes avec leurs entreprises mères européennes.La phase empirique de cette recherche a été menée dans un cadre international, en Algérie.Les résultats que nous avons présenté ont été obtenus à différents niveaux : construits théoriques à partir de la revue de littérature, modification ou validation des construits théoriques et élaboration de nouveaux construits sur la base des résultats empiriques de l’étude qualitative. Afin de mener l’ensemble des analyses à chacun de ces niveaux, nous avons  structuré l’étude des transferts de compétences suivant plusieurs dimensions : les compétences en tant qu’objet du transfert, les outils du transfert de compétences, l’organisation de la méthode de transfert, les difficultés du transfert et l’efficacité du transfert.L’apport théorique de la thèse est représenté à travers la synthèse des différents concepts mobilisés, mais également via l’identification d’une typologie des différentes méthodes de transfert, l’analyse et la classification des outils de transfert et la détermination des principaux éléments exerçant une influence sur le processus de transfert. Parallèlement, nos contribution managériales se situent, non seulement au niveau des partenaires, mais également au niveau du gouvernement local (ici : le gouvernement algérien) qui a besoin d’informations fiables lui permettant de mieux réglementer sa politique d’investissement. Mieux connaitre les difficultés du transfert de compétences, ses avantages stratégiques, les méthodes et les outils qui les accompagnent peut conduire à avoir recours à ce mode de management. Cela permet également de mieux organiser le transfert de sorte à tirer le meilleur parti de son potentiel stratégique. / The research conducted as part of this thesis addresses the topic of competencies transfer. More specifically, our research aims to study the transfer of competencies through specific inter-organizational relationships, those between Euro-Algerian joint ventures and their European parent companies.    The empirical phase of this research was conducted in an international context, Algeria.The results we presented were obtained at different levels : theoretical constructed from the literature review, modification or validation of theoretical constructs and development of new constructed on the basis of the empirical results of the qualitative study. In order to carry out all the analyzes on each level, we have structured the study of transfer of competencies along several dimensions: competencies as an object of transfer, tools competencies transfer, organization of the transfer method, the difficulties of transfer and transfer efficiency.The theoretical contribution of the thesis is illustrated through the synthesis of different concepts used, but also by identifying a typology of different transfer methods, analysis and classification tools transfer and identifying the main elements influencing the transfer process.Meanwhile, our managerial contributions are not only at the partner, but also the local government level (here: the Algerian government) who need reliable information enabling it to better regulate its investment policy. Better understand the difficulties of transferring competencies, strategic advantages, methods and tools that accompany them can lead to resort to this method of management. It also helps to organize the transfer so as to maximize its strategic potential.

Entrepreneur is the destructor of present mechanism, but entrepreneur also can be the value creator of company. If company can make good use of the energy of the entrepreneur, entrepreneur will create enormous value for the company. So how to manipulate the power of entrepreneur becomes an important issue. This article discusses this issue from a perspective of Corporate Venture Capital. According to the independent-unit characteristic of CVC, start-up can avoid rigid bureaucracy and culture. The whole value creation process is as follows: Through CVC, parent company supports entrepreneur to build up business, and parent company will receive strategic value when start-up succeeds. There are two kinds of strategic value; one is the purpose of investment plan, another one is the activation of Corporate Entrepreneurship. As we know, when the core element of investment plan is entrepreneur, the plan is basically different from other plans. The essence of the investment plan which is based on the power of entrepreneur is Corporate Entrepreneurship. The definition of CE in this article is the process in which company makes use of individual entrepreneurship under the common vision to do innovative activities to create strategic value for the organization. In other words, from CVC perspective, the managing model of CE is the new venture growth model. CVC can follow the new venture growth model to support entrepreneur to build up business, and the success of start-up can return strategic value to parent company and promote the Corporate Entrepreneurship of parent company. After the discussion of the ecosystem, culture and investment cases of IC design industry in Taiwan, we interview three professional in CVC area to get further details. Then we build the new venture growth model for company to make good use of the power of entrepreneurs.

The paper introduces venture leasing as a complement to venture capital. Venture leasing provides additional funds for start-up companies in exchange for equity stake in the company. This financing option is commonly used in the United States, but started being implemented in Europe as well.

Private equity is described as medium to long term financing of non-quated companies with high growth potential. Venture capital refers to investments made to get the companies off the ground or to expand. This thesis describes an investment process with focus on its crucial parts, identifies factors that make from venture capital a suitable partner for expanding abroad and analyzes development of provate equity funds in Central and Eastern Europe.
