Entrepreneurs do not form a homogeneous set who can be distinguished from non-entrepreneurs on the basis of their personality characteristics. In Romania, the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have a young history of 19 years behind. The present paper aims to outline the profile of the Romanian entrepreneur and to analyze the compatibility between the features of the entrepreneur�s behavior and those required by a Learning Organization. The results are based on a study performed in February and March 2009 on a sample of 200 respondents from different regions of the country and indicate a high potential for SMEs development in Romania.
