“…Entrepreneurial firms generally involve the establishment of a new organization (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000), exploit new opportunities (Drucker, 1986) and, as Cantillon noted in his early writings on entrepreneurship, function in situations where the expenditures are known but the income is unknown (Hebert & Link, 1982). These characteristics create an environment where employee commitment is crucial to success.…”

Entrepreneurial businesses are an important driver of modern day economies. A firm that adopts a strategy of calculated risks, and also demonstrates proactiveness and innovation reflects an entrepreneurial orientation (EO). In order to create an entrepreneurial orientation and associated performance outcomes, it is necessary to understand the role of individuals and the interpersonal processes that shape values, norms and behaviors. Incorporating research from social psychology literature, this study examines the effect of individual and organizational variables on employees who work for an entrepreneurial venture. A cross-sectional study of 78 employees of small Canadian businesses empirically demonstrates how an entrepreneurial strategic orientation and a charismatic leadership style encourage employees to identify with the entrepreneurial organization. Empirical results indicated that personality and strategic direction play an important part in creating value for the entrepreneurial firm.

“…The point of departure of this chapter is that entrepreneurship is a central driver of renewal. After all, the very definition of entrepreneurship emphasizes that it is about individuals and organizations-be they new, old, large or small-that actively contribute to renewal and change in an economy (Hébert and Link 2006a). Joseph Schumpeter (1934) indeed attributed the entrepreneur a critical role in processes of industrial evolution and economic dynamics.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractWe review and assess the role local institutional framework conditions play in fostering local entrepreneurship. The basic premise is that entrepreneurship is a central driver of economic renewal and change, and that institutions affect both the supply and direction of entrepreneurship. While local institutions always develop and operate against the backdrop of national institutional frameworks, in particular in non-federal states, our review shows that there is plenty of room for local initiatives and policies to influence the entrepreneurial climate locally. This pertains to both formal (e.g., taxes, regulations and stringency of enforcement) and informal (e.g., attitudes and social legitimacy) institutions. We further argue that the local institutional environment is essential in any local policy aimed to foster productive (high-impact) entrepreneurship. Favorable local institutions not only increase the odds that a region develops or manage to attract entrepreneurial incumbents, but also the odds that a region reaps the full potential of hosting entrepreneurial and knowledge-intensive activities.
