Entrepreneurial leadership is vital for economic growth in all nations, yet little is known about the leadership style of entrepreneurs in transition economies for example the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). There's been a need for research into cross cultural similarities in entrepreneurial characteristics that would support an argument for convergence across cultures.
This article inquires entrepreneurial leadership styles based on interviews with 130 exemplary Russian entrepreneurs over a recent five-year interval. The results showed that a substantial bulk of these entrepreneurs had embraced an open leadership style similar to U.S. entrepreneurs, adding support to a convergence theory of entrepreneurial leadership style.
