Abstract
In this article, we conjecture that through their actions, organizational actors create their own context, which escapes the control of the actors who created them. Once initiated, the context becomes the determining factor of the actors initiatives. To illustrate our view, we study a crisis. The empirical results, based on chaos theory, tend to support our view that “voluntarism creates its own determinism which will eventually shape the organizational actors’ future.
