Is There Any Linkage Between Entrepreneur Typologies and Strategy Typologies?

This study aims to explore whether if there is a linkage between entrepreneurship typologies and strategy typologies. Entrepreneur portrays as having remarkable capacity to change the organization. Also strategy typology is a significant component to determine firm performance. If there is a connection between entrepreneur and strategy typologies, this paper has a modest contribution to shed light on this linkage. To research this connection we use Dunkelberg & Cooper's (1982) entrepreneurship typologies and Miles& Snow's (1978) strategy typologies as conceptual framework. We made 15 semi structured interview with entrepreneurs who work in different sectors and own their firms which range in size to analyze entrepreneurship typologies and strategy typologies. The classification of entrepreneur types contain: craftsman, growth-oriented and independent and strategy typologies contain: prospector, defender, analyzer and reactor. In conclusion we discuss the linkage between these typologies and possibility of further problematic.
