Researchers have observed that a great deal of the forward motion for change, innovation, job creation and progress in the U.S. economy comes from entrepreneurs (Morrison et al, 2003, Cromie, 2000Reynolds et al, 2002;Acs, 1999;Reynolds 1997;Light and Rosenstein 1995;Drucker 1985;Schumpeter 1934).…”

The goal of this research paper is to study the possible interactions between operations strategy and entrepreneurial traits, performance and job satisfaction. This empirical paper used a non-experimental design to test a proposed model based on a review of relevant literature. The study was conducted with 1200 SMEs in the Lynchburg City region using an administered survey instrument. The results of this study indicate that entrepreneurial personality has statistically significant relationship with Performance and Operations Strategy. The relationship between entrepreneurial personality and Job Satisfaction was not statistically significant. Operations strategy has statistically significant moderating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial personality and performance. The research framework offers a different way forward for both practitioners and academicians in thinking about the factors which may be critical for the success of SMEs.

Despite the impressive growth in the number of firms run by women entrepreneurs, most of these businesses continue to remain small and women-owned firms have not grown as fast as male entrepreneurs. There are many reasons that may help explain the growth limitations in women-owned firms. Among all, growth orientation is an important factor. A common finding in entrepreneurship literature shows that ventures owned by women tend to be smaller than those by men are. This difference can be due to individual, organizational and environmental factors.Since half of Iran's population is women who are more willing to have higher education and contribution in the society, they deal with more challenges rather than their male counterparts. So attention to the factors affecting growth orientation of their ventures is the same as deliberate economic development and national income. This is a qualitative study to identify environmental factors affecting growth orientation of women entrepreneurs. Data analysis of 10 semi-structured interviews on a sample of women entrepreneurs indicated environmental factors in three groups of "economic", "socio-cultural" and "legal" factors.
