Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon that is not restricted to business creation and

innovation in companies, but manifests itself in various ways, and this can be

approached as something that resides in the action, ie, the action results in an

entrepreneurial action and allows characterization of different types of developers.

Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon not restricted to business creation and innovation

in companies, but manifests itself in different ways, considering different types of

entrepreneurs. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize entrepreneurial

activities associated with types of entrepreneurs in the municipality of Araxá, Minas

Gerais. Based on the entrepreneurs typology proposed by Vale, Amâncio and Lima

(2006), was developed a descriptive, qualitative approach. It was conducted a case

study, whose unit of analysis were managers and entrepreneurs of micro and small

enterprises (MSEs), associations and institutions of Araxá Microregion. Semistructured

interviews were conducted with seven entrepreneurs in various segments,

all of which participate directly or indirectly in any type of network. Data analysis was

performed using content analysis. The results confirm the potential entrepreneur of

Araxá, and the strategic role of the entrepreneurs interviewed in the integrated

development of communities to which they belong. The collective actions reported

focus primarily on the skills and education of the community and the local workforce,

access to credit to micro and small entrepreneurs, intervention in the political sphere

in search of better working conditions and more active participation of the community

they represent. There was also consistency between the actions, speeches and the

results achieved for their business and the community.
