Sažetak
Background: The analysis of entrepreneurial behaviour in incubated technology-based companies can help managers to understand their characteristics and how these aspects can be maximized to increase the performance of the companies. Objectives: This study proposes to measure the entrepreneurial behaviour of managers of technology-based companies in incubators in southern Brazil facing different stages of the business life cycle. Methods/Approach: The Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to measure the entrepreneurial behaviour index of technology-based companies’ managers throughout the stage of the business life cycle. Results: In the early stages, entrepreneurs have ample self-confidence and are willing to make quick decisions. In the intermediate stages, the entrepreneur shows greater persistence and effort in the tasks. In the later stages, the entrepreneur acquires a greater sense of group activity and punctuality in completing tasks. Conclusions: This study analyses how managers demonstrate their entrepreneurial behaviour as the stages the company experiences. The results can help managers better understand their performance and actions reflected through their behaviours.
