Authors : Kichou Djedjiga . Bia Chabane .

Abstract

Entrepreneurial orientation was first and foremost described by Miller (1983) as a strategic posture characterised by a high level of commitment to risk-taking, innovation and proactivity. Other studies have been developed to examine and demonstrate the relationship between a manager's profile and the entrepreneurial orientation of his or her company. In the same vein, the aim of our study of SMEs is to propose a model (using SPSS software) of the relationship between the profile of the owner-manager and entrepreneurial orientation, and also to highlight the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance.
