Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurship and business performance. Data were colleted from 101 Algerian SMEs by means of a questionnaire; statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics and correlation were employed. The current research shows that proactive and risk firm behavior positively contribute to SMEs performance. Additionally, Algerian SMEs are not sufficiently involved in research and innovation activities, which enable relatively low performance.
