Abstract

This paper presents a pilot research developed in order to establish a profile for the Romanian entrepreneur. In order to realise the entrepreneurial profile, a set of variables which characterize a classic entrepreneurial profile were analyzed in correlation to five characteristic features of the firm raisers: Management experience, Professional experience in the field of activity of the enterprise, Age, Gender, Educational background. Our preliminary survey pointed out some aspects: because the “family” model is being carried out, the Romanian entrepreneurs risk losing their employees, Romanian entrepreneurs need to learn rapidly how to structure organizational activities and to introduce instruments for democratic decisions, Romanian entrepreneurs look for a collaborative environment and ask support from all the organization’s employees, the employees of the Romanian organizations generally need to be close to the central power and, generally, Romanian entrepreneurs feel more comfortable in situations of total consensus.
