Abstract(s)
In the present paper we will consider strategies of innovation, risk and proactivity as entre/
intrapreneurship strategies. This study was done in a Portuguese and in a Polish region. In Portugal the region
was Vale do Sousa, located in the northern Portugal. The Polish region was Lublin Voivodeship and it is
situated in the south-eastern part of the country. The study focused on Industrial and Construction sectors.
In order to get a valid sample, a group of 251 firms were analysed in Portugal, and 215 in Poland. However, the
minimum sample size in Poland should be 323. Since this is a work in progress, we are aiming for this number
of questionnaires. Each strategy was analysed individually for both regions and the results pointed to a lack of
culture of entrepreneurship in firms’ management. Only Proactivity presented a positive result in firms’
management. Polish firms tend to be more innovative and more risk takers, while in proactivity Portuguese
ones present a slightly higher result. Combining the strategy results, it was possible to identify that 61.2% of
Portuguese firms present a low level of entrepreneurship, while 60% of Polish firms present a moderate level.
Considering intrapreneurship good levels, while Portugal account for 5.2% this figure is 19.1% in Poland.
