Resumo: | The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the entrepreneurial competencies and the strategic behavior patterns of entrepreneurs in response to the social and economic environment in which they operate, taking into consideration limitations that are common to emerging countries. The study takes a quantitative approach with a survey of 211 Individual Micro Entrepreneurs (IME) operating in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. The results demonstrated that there were differences between mean scores for the entrepreneurial competencies when compared across the entrepreneurs’ strategic behavior types. Moreover, entrepreneurs who were Reactors possessed a mean of 6 out of the ten entrepreneurial competencies, Defenders had 7.97, Analyzers had 8.38, and Prospectors had 8.56. The paper reveals which competencies are most likely to be associated with each strategic behavior type. The findings also indicate that entrepreneurial competencies can impact the adoption of more consistent business strategies, contributing to actions that respond to unstable social and economic scenarios. |

The findings also indicate that entrepreneurial competencies can impact the adoption of more consistent business strategies, contributing to actions that respond to unstable social and economic scenarios.O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a relação entre o conjunto de competências empreendedoras (Cooley, 1990) e o comportamento estratégico (Miles e Snow, 1978) adotado por empreendedores em resposta ao ambiente econômico e social em que atuam, considerando limitações comuns a países emergentes. De abordagem quantitativa, a pesquisa foi realizada por meio de levantamento de campo com 211 Microempreendedores Individuais (MEI) estabelecidos no estado de Santa Catarina (Brasil). Os resultados demonstram haver diferenças entre as médias para competências empreendedoras quando comparados os padrões de comportamento estratégico adotados pelos empreendedores. Constatou-se que empreendedores Reativos têm em média 6 de dez competências empreendedoras, ao passo que Defensivos tem 7,97, Analíticos 8,38 e Prospectores 8,56. Além disso, o artigo revela quais competências estariam associadas a cada um dos padrões de comportamento estratégico. Os resultados também indicam que as competências empreendedoras podem ter impacto na adoção de estratégias de negócios mais consistentes, contribuindo para ações de resposta a cenários sociais e econômicos instáveis.FUCAPE Business Shool2019-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado por paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/52510.15728/bbr.2019.16.3.4Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2019): May to June 2019; 255-272Brazilian Business Review; v. 16 n. 3 (2019): Maio a Junho de 2019; 255-2721808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
