Abstract
Entrepreneurial intensity is the extent to which any one event is innovative, risky, and proactive, and frequency of entrepreneurship, which refer to number of times organizations act entrepreneurially. Entrepreneurial strategy plays a important role on performance of China´s small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). This study tried to test the relationship between entrepreneurial intensity and firm performance. We collect data from 123 firms in Jilin province. The result of our test implied that entrepreneurial intensity is positive related with firm´s financial and non-financial performance. The discussion and conclusion will be given at the end of this paper.
