Summary

Introduction

The main position of the business creation in economy development left to reflect on elements leading to companies’ survival and development. Muchiri et al (2011) highlight that in the face of the current global competition and increasing demands from stakeholders, there is a basic business demand to improve manufacturing performance. The success of a company depends largely on the characteristics of the entrepreneur, his motivations and his skills and experience to manage its human, financial resources as well as its ability to innovate and approve its existence in a turbulent environment. Several studies, focusing on entrepreneurship are conducted to show that the entrepreneur for his motivations and his skills is the main actor in the company creation, its development and success (Mazra and Guy, 2012). Estay (2004) stressed the impact of the entrepreneur characteristics in the entrepreneurial activity
