Abstract (2. Language): 
Developed, so-called "emerging" countries have strategies and policies of innovation country. However, many developing countries face difficulties in the implementation of innovation strategies. In general, the research has mainly concerned the development of innovation tools. By cons, little work has concerned the factors that prevent or inhibit the activity of innovation, known in the literature: "barriers to innovation", especially in the Arab and Muslim countries and developing countries. Our research has rightly focused on the barriers to innovation in Morocco and especially in the region of Tangier-Tetouan. The purpose of this research is to develop a model to measure the interactive effects of barriers in the innovation system. For this it was necessary to identify barriers to the innovation in the region of Tangier-Tetouan process, and investigate the interrelationships between them. The approach is based on a review of the scientific papers; analysis of available statistical data; national development documents; empirical researches and other secondary data. An in-depth study of fourteen barriers to innovation has been made with industry, teachers and students. This work can be considered, in our opinion, as the first study of the barriers to innovation in the Tangier-Tetouan region and one of the few work on this subject in Morocco. Its contribution to the conceptual level is the development of models that can be used to solve the barriers of innovation at regional and national levels.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Les pays développés ainsi que les pays dits « émergents » disposent des stratégies et politiques propres à l’innovation. Cependant un grand nombre de pays en développement rencontrent des difficultés pour la mise en place de stratégie d’innovation. De manière générale, les travaux de recherche ont concerné surtout le développement des outils de l’innovation. Par contre, peu de travaux ont concerné les facteurs qui empêchent ou inhibent l'activité d’innovation, appelés dans la littérature: «barrières de l'innovation», particulièrement dans les pays arabo-musulmans et les pays en voie de développement. Notre travail de recherche a justement porté sur les barrières d’innovation au Maroc et en particulier dans la région de Tanger-Tétouan. Le but de cette recherche est d’élaborer un modèle qui permet de mesurer les effets interactifs des barrières dans le système d'innovation. L’approche est basée sur l'examen des documents scientifiques et l'analyse des données statistiques disponibles: documents nationaux de développement, recherches empiriques et d’autres données secondaires. Une étude en profondeur de quatorze obstacles à l'innovation a été faite suite à des enquêtes menées auprès des industriels, des enseignants chercheurs et des étudiants. Ce travail peut être considéré, à notre avis, comme la première étude concernant les barrières à l’innovation, dans la région « Tanger- Tétouan » et parmi les rares travaux relatifs à ce sujet au Maroc. Son apport au niveau conceptuel est le développement des modèles qui pourront être utilisés pour résoudre les obstacles de l'innovation au niveau régional et national.
