Abstract
Change is a main rule determining the life nowadays. The organizations which are in interaction with both internal and external environment can not find any opportunity to resume their lives without interaction with this change. For that reason an entrepreneurial organization must recognize change parameters which the environment supplies to them and must live in a harmony with them. The research is focused on two goals. Firstly it is aimed to enlighten the entrepreneurship activities within the organizations and their relationship with environmental characteristics and organizational performance. Our second goal is to find out the discrepancies between different firms from different sectors and two different cities. To achieve these goals, a survey is applied in six firms from different sectors which take place in Izmir and Manisa. The research results showed that the novelty dimension which is one of the entrepreneurship tendency factor is more effective than organizational variables effecting the importance of entrepreneurship. Also it is found out that the organizational and managerial support dimension is more effective than environmental perception level which stresses the importance given to internal entrepreneurship by external environmental characteristics. The environmental dynamism dimension is found out to be more effective on internal entrepreneurship compared to other dimensions. The difference between firms which are in automotive and food sectors are found about the novelty dimension. Finally firms which are in automotive and food sectors are found to be differ in novelty dimension; and firms in chemistry sector are found to be differ in renewal dimension.
