CONTEMPORARY ECONOMIC-DEVELOPMENTS IN FRANCOPHONE QUEBEC

This article presents the results of a research on the economical deve lopment of the french population in Quebec. This research reveals the transformation of this economy resulting of the intervention of the pr ovincial State. The case study of a corporation that was nationalized in order to be modernized shows that modernization generates economic practices that seem to cut them selves from society by an instrumental rationality that favorises technical and economical mediations of rea lity.

But, we must tes t this hypothesis in regard of the recent tendancies of the corporate culture and the participatory management.
