Resumo: Despite the growing emphasis on the relationship between entrepreneurs and their social
context in recent years, there is little research that looks at ways which entrepreneurs react to and shape the communities in which they operate. The present research examines the interface between entrepenural types and community social and economic dynamics in two very different Brazilian communities, Triadentes, and Sete Lagoas, both located in the state of Minas Gerais.
The findings of this inductive, qualitative study suggest that differences in community context favor the emergence of different types of entrepreneurs, who in turn impact the development of the community in very different ways. We identified six types of entrepreneur: Traditional Pioneer, Traditional Remnant, Modern Dealer, Modern Professional, Postmodern Vanguard, and Postmodern Opportunist. These different types featured different business strategies and favored very different approaches to the economic and social development of the community.
