Abstract

In a context that demands proactive attitudes of managers, this survey sought to describe strategies adopted by women entrepreneurs in Vitória da Conquista, a city in Southwest Bahia, Brazil. Their strategic behavior was investigated with an understanding that survival, especially for the small businesses, is related to the strategic vision of the entrepreneurs. Women were chosen, essentially, because of their growing participation in the productive system which is a modern trend where their entrepreneurship has attracted little study and research, theoretically and empirically. Analysis of data collected disclosed that their predominant strategic behavior was that of the prospector, as classified by Miles and Snow (1978).
