Abstract

In deze studie is de relatie onderzocht tussen de leeftijd van de ondernemer enerzijds en doelstellingen, concurrentiestrategieën en bedrijfsprestaties anderzijds. Het onderzoek is primair een empirisch onderzoek en is uitgevoerd met behulp van gegevens van circa 1.600 bedrijven uit het MKB Beleidspanel. Uit het onderzoek komt naar voren dat de leeftijd van de ondernemer van negatieve invloed is op innovatie(strategie), investeringen en omzet. Voor wat betreft de doelstellingen van het bedrijf, is geen relatie met leeftijd gevonden. Hetzelfde geldt voor de andere onderzochte concurrentiestrategieën (marketing en prijs). Ook voor de prestatiemaatstaven werkgelegenheidsgroei en winst, zijn geen verschillen gevonden tussen oudere en jongere ondernemers.
