| Abstract: | In this study of small firms in the United Kingdom, the authors explored the relationships among managerial behaviors (based upon a competence model), entrepreneurial style (based on Covin and Slevin's theory), and firm type (in terms of sales growth performance). Principal components analysis of a management competence inventory identified six broad categories of managerial behavior. Regressing a measure of entrepreneurial style on these six behaviors suggested that managing culture and managing vision are related to an entrepreneurial style, while managing performance is related to a no entrepreneurial style. Entrepreneurial style-but not managerial behavior-was associated positively with the probability that a firm would be a high-growth type. |
