The analysis is part of a field of embryonic studies in the area of public management in Brazil: entrepreneurship in the public sector. As for the method, this research is classified in applied, qualitative and descriptive, and uses the instrument Carland Entrepreneurship Index (CEI), adapted in this study, to the case of public management in the city of Apucarana, located in the north-central region of the state of Paraná. The results show that the presence of behavioral characteristics of entrepreneurs in public management incurs, on the one hand, in more risk, but on the other, in larger innovative potential, which can produce positive externalities for the municipal finances and public policies, constituting important strength to the socio-economic and institutional development. </p> ER -
