More fear than harm , but not good either ...

The level of activity improved slightly compared to last Spring except for ¼ companies for causing some of them structural difficulties.

The performance of the company confirms as a factor of success or failure far more important than belonging to a professional category .

2013 a not so bad but not so good either.

Concerning Autumn 2013 feeling:

1/3 companies expressed a confident enough moral fall. At the same Spring , uncertainty is present for half of the sample. The percentage of CEOs do not have the moral remains relatively low. 1 1/2 years of observation, we find that the loss of morale is temporary because we do not find the same companies in these three surveys. All occupational categories are found in the same configuration for the distribution of ratios .

Compare Spring 2013 and Autumn 2012: 

We find that the morale of entrepreneurs is in the same configuration on the last 3 surveys conducted .
