“…The distribution of roles and power could also be affected. Indeed, in the copreneurial company, formal power is overwhelmingly held by men, while informal power is held by women (Hirigoyen & Villéger, 2017). The position of the follower of the woman copreneur during the installation could be one of the explanatory factors of this configuration of governance.…”

“…And indeed, the position of follower in the decision-making process leading to copreneurship is not necessarily synonymous with a lesser power of the follower in the realization of the project and in the future governance of the company if we keep in mind that the follower is the one who holds the keys to the potential realization and continuation of the project or otherwise. In this sense, Hirigoyen and Villéger (2017) recall that even if the female copreneur most often exercises shadow governance, she is nonetheless as influential, or even more influential, than her spouse, concerning company strategies. They establish that the 'real' power is played behind the scenes and that it is the woman who subtly pulls the strings.…”

By mobilizing the theoretical field of decision-making and the empirical study of 15 cases, this article highlights and analyzes the recurrence of conjugal interactions leading to the decision to undertake as a couple. The results show that the spouse who initiates the project becomes the ‘leader’, while the other positions himself, more or less voluntarily, as a ‘follower’. This decision-making configuration induces a renunciation on the part of the follower, a follower who remains, still today, overwhelmingly the woman. The discussion considers the potential impact of this specific decision-making process on the future governance of the company, in terms of the distribution of roles and powers, the satisfaction of spouses, but also the choice of partner. The movement of the reflexive cursor in a period prior to the copreneurial installation enriches the field of research, almost unexplored, of the decision to undertake as a couple, opens the way to the study of problems of copreneurship through the innovative prism of events that have occurred before its implementation and offers practitioners new keys to understanding the complex dynamics within which they evolve.
