Abstract
The entrepreneurship emerges in the present debate as a “machine of economical and development of the world” (Zoltan Acs e David Audresch, 2003; Anne Zahara e Chris Ryan, 2007). It catalyzes agents and fluxes, recreates networks and actors, empowers innovation and social value. This paper examines an entrepreneurial orientation, within a company of Braga, in the North of Portugal. It regards the importance of the concept “cross-act agent” – agent that strengths the company performance to face the market – for entrepreneurship.
