A Comparison of Entrepreneurs and Managers of Small Business Firms
Abstract
This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurship and small business management. Business founders are classified as entrepreneurs and nonfounding chief executives are classified as small business managers. Findings indicate that (a) on personal and firm characteristics, eight variables differentiate the groups; (b) onfinancial performance indicators, entrepreneurial firms show higher growth rates; and (c) hard-driving competitiveness consistently associates with financial performance for small business managers but not for entrepreneurs. Data come from questionnaires completed by members of the Smaller Business Association of New England.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
