Through these questions and the case studies we conducted, it appears clearly that what we are really trying to understand is more the process that leads to the total commitment of the individual than the process through which he or she remains committed despite (and whatever) the costs. For us, escalation of commitment relates to the increasing commitment from the moment when individuals start looking for information until their total commitment to the project (and near irreversibility). This includes all the conscious as well as subconscious processes that lead to the total commitment. The psychosociologists’ preoccupation, however, is upstream from our conception and refers to the propensity of individuals (once they are committed) to persevere with their initial decisions, to rationalise and justify them. To illustrate our remark, we would like to refer to Beauvois and Joule: when they speak about resistance to change, they mean the resistance individuals must overcome to leave the path on which they were previously engaged (following their initial decision) to change direction. In our own research, resistance to change is applied to the passage from a given situation (employee, student, researcher, job seeker) to an entrepreneurial situation. This type of resistance to change therefore occurs before any committing decision, and therefore before any total commitment.
