摘要
We refine and extend the study of entrepreneurial dispositions by linking three classic hallmarks of the entrepreneur-achievement motivation, risk-taking propensity, and preference for innovation-to the goal orientations of United States and Russian entrepreneurs. The results suggest that entrepreneurial dispositions vary according to culture and the entrepreneur's primary goal for the venture. The results have important implications for theoretical development linking dispositions and entrepreneurial behavior in different settings and for entrepreneurial education and government policy.
