Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study examined the relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) dimensions (risk-taking, innovativeness, proactiveness) and profitability of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. The study adapted Covin and Slevin&apos;s entrepreneurial orientation scale to collect data from Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) owner-managers operating in the handicraft, manufacturing sector in Accra, Ghana. 200 SMEs were randomly selected for the study. Only 150 SMEs owner-managers completed the questionnaires. The authors employed a quantitative research approach to analyse resultant data using descriptive statistics and OLS regression. The study found that SME owner-managers &apos;proactivenessand innovativeness were positively and significantly related to profitability. However, we observe that risk-taking ability of an entrepreneur does not foster profitability. The implication for the findings and suggestions for future studies as well as recommendations for SME owners are discussed.
