The Impact of the Level of Entrepreneurial Inclination on the Level of Firm Performance
There has been a lot of interest and effort made by many scholars to establish clear distinction between entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs, and also between entrepreneurial firms and non-entrepreneurial firms. Entrepreneurs were perceived, by virtue, as having superior decision-making abilities and thus, were able to create firms with the ability to generate high levels of profit and growth. On the other hand, small owner-managers and self-employed who may own capital may not have the same abilities or potential. This study explores the macroeconomic context of the technology-based firms operating in the Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor ( MSC) which was based on various secondary data available in the Multimedia Development Corporations ( MDC) official website as well as primary data collected via survey. As anticipated, the analysis reveals that a larger percentage of firms with high entrepreneurial propensity were high performers, whereas a larger percentage of firms with low entrepreneurial propensity were low performers.
