Abstract
This research consists in understanding the process through which the entrepreneur arrives to the entrepreneurial rebound, which means rebound from failure and launching new business. Eventually, understanding entrepreneur’s resilience processus includes identifying the dimensions that constitute it. The results of this study emphasize that grief is a common and inherent phase, that entrepreneurs must overcome in order to accept their failure. Acceptance allows them to restore their mental state so that they can make sense of their experience and learn from it, the thing that helps them to reconstruct. And therefore, take action and engage in a new project. The support of the entrepreneur’s environment is essential, according to the results found. It is important for the entrepreneur’s resilience and a rebound condition. The results on this point revealed characteristics specific to the Moroccan context. In this sense, the entrepreneur’s environment is limited to the close environment (family, friends, etc.), the quality of professional social ties, the support of the State and the role of culture. We have concluded that entrepreneur’s resilience is a socio-emotional process that requires analysis at two levels, inter-individual and intra-individual, and that the entrepreneur’s context has a significant impact on his or her ability to bounce back from failure.
Author Keywords: Entrepreneurial resilience, entrepreneurial rebound, grief, sensemaking, learning, environment support.
