This Ph.D. is a contribution to the recent debates on the role of entrepreneurship in developing countries. The main issue of the thesis is to determine entrepreneurs’ behavior through intercultural management. This work is applied to the Madagascar’s free zone entrepreneurs. In this thesis, we use multidisciplinary methodology in order to understand how Madagascar’s entrepreneurs develop their activities. The first chapter of the thesis presents the state of the art of recent research on entrepreneurship in developing countries. The second chapter analyses the origins and evolutions of the textile cluster of Madagascar and introduces the role of cultural elements. Finally, the third chapter reproduces some “fragments” from these entrepreneurs’ interviews. This chapter delivers a typology for the entrepreneurs of Madagascar’s textile free zone.
