Abstract: A group of researchers agrees in thinking that the Convention Theory is suitable for describing how these organisations operate, and to diagnose or explain the problems met by specific organisations (Batifoulier and De Larquier, 2001: 17). The Convention Theory has many contributions that are of interest both to the organisation and to the individual. This model can be used to explain the market and the organisation, the institution and the entrepreneur, the explicit and implicit rationalisation, corporate governance and organisation, political and social aspects of the organisation. The productiveness of this theoretical stream doesn’t hide its operational issue in management science.By the way, the aim of this article is to present the main operational forms already used by scholars and to propose a link based on a key moment for the conventions, the one of the organizational change.
