While one wonders about the business of the twenty-first century and "the company post-crisis", it is useful to return to the original company of the twentieth century. Under what conditions it is born? What explains the forms that we know? And what are the foundations that could now be challenged?

This conceptualization builds a new approach to the management of organizational motivation: the direction it proposes is to make each individual work of both the guardian and regulator of its Obligations / Initiatives / Aspirations.

We propose here to examine these issues from the case study of European investment in the Brazilian bioethanol.
