Abstract: Background The analysis of entrepreneurial behaviour in incubated technology-based companies can help managers to understand their characteristics and how these aspects can be maximized to increase the performance of the companies. Objectives This study proposes to measure the entrepreneurial behaviour of managers of technology-based companies in incubators in southern Brazil facing different stages of the business life cycle. Methods/Approach The Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to measure the entrepreneurial behaviour index of technology-based companies’ managers throughout the stage of the business life cycle. Results In the early stages, entrepreneurs have ample self-confidence and are willing to make quick decisions. In the intermediate stages, the entrepreneur shows greater persistence and effort in the tasks. In the later stages, the entrepreneur acquires a greater sense of group activity and punctuality in completing tasks. Conclusions This study analyses how managers demonstrate their entrepreneurial behaviour as the stages the company experiences. The results can help managers better understand their performance and actions reflected through their behaviours.
