Description

Defining marketing and entrepreneurship as fundamental orientations for firms to conduct business, Bjerke (entrepreneurship and small business, Stockholm U., Sweden) and Hultman (marketing, Orebro U., Sweden) argue that a strong relationship to business performance can be found in a combination of the two orientations. They further contend that small business growth requires a qualitatively different approach to marketing (rather than a simpler one) than that of large firms. They explore these differences, focusing on issues such as entrepreneurial flexibility, rapid response times, customer/market immersion, intense target market focus, and cash-flow sensitivity.
