A Research about the Effect of Entrepreneur Type on Determination of Firm's Strategy Preference

The current study is based on the basic assumption that the entrepreneurial type can be a factor to specify the strategy type of the firm. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to explore the content of the relationship between entrepreneur type and strategy type. The study is carried on depending on two theoretical frameworks. These are the entrepreneurial typologies of Dunkelberg and Cooper (1982) and strategy typologies of Miles and Snow (1978). In the empirical sense the study involves analysis of four entrepreneurial cases. The analysis of these four cases showed that in the firms in which entrepreneur takes charge in as a manager, entrepreneurial type substantially/widely affects firm's strategy type. Further studies can be conducted by developing a scale, as to show how the relations relationship is between dimensions of the entrepreneurship and strategy type in detail.
