The paper aims to explain how the presence of entrepreneurs’ specific subjective characteristics can influence a firm’s strategic orientation and, as a consequence, local development. By analyzing several subjective characteristics taken from a sample of 101 successful entrepreneurs from Southern Italy, certain issues emerge regarding the link between the economic performance of the ventures launched in this area and the weak level of growth. The research approach makes use of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor conceptual model which summarizes the major causal mechanisms affecting national economic growth.

Abstract
The paper aims to explain how the presence of entrepreneurs’ specific subjective characteristics can influence a firm’s strategic orientation and, as a consequence, local development. By analyzing several subjective characteristics taken from a sample of 101 successful entrepreneurs from Southern Italy, certain issues emerge regarding the link between the economic performance of the ventures launched in this area and the weak level of growth. The research approach makes use of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor conceptual model which summarizes the major causal mechanisms affecting national economic growth.File in questo prodotto:
