In the development of a large number of enterprises, it can be found that the survival and development of the enterprises is determined by market competition, which is a common goal pursued by all enterprises. Enterprises can survive in competition only when they are outstanding than other enterprises, which is a process of constant development of the enterprises.Where is the competitive advantage of the enterprise comes from? Which factor has led to the diversity of the growth of enterprise since every enterprise has different character? Though some theorise give explanation to these issues from different perspectives, they share a common view that the growth of the enterprise comes from the competitive ability which comes from the organization of resources in the enterprise.The enterprise is a organization including material and human resources. In the course of business, who is entitled to make decisions on the organization of the resources? Entrepreneurs are the perfect person to make it bacause they have the inherent ability of discovering and taking advantage of the opportunities of disequilibria. This ability is a material whose task is to organize the resources of the enterprises innovatively, and achieve the competitive advantages of the enterprise by forming a unique enterprise competence.In the transition from classical enterprises to modern enterprises, entrepreneurs become an independent resources in enterprises separated from capitalists. Though they ocuppy some shares of the enterprises, or not even occupy shares, they get the control rights in fact. When they seek to maximize the behalf of the enterprises, they can only receive a small portion of the profit, on the contrary, when they seek to maximize their own behalf, they take only a small portion of the cost.According to the problem above, how is the growth of the enterprise come into being in the process of organization of resources of the enterprises which is decided by entrepreneurs? This paper is to make an analysis on the growth of modern enterprises from the perspective of entrepreneur's behavior. First of all, it is the analysis of entrepreneurial behavior. Entrepreneurial behavior is a chioce of the means of organization of the resources of the enterprise which is made by entrepreneurs under restrictive conditions. Though entrepreneurs have inherent ability of discovering and taking advantage of the opportunities of disequilibria, they are individuals seeking to maximize their own behalf. When they seek to maximize the behalf of enterprises, their goals and the goals of the enterprises are the same, on the contrary, when they seek to maximize the behalf of their own, their goals are different with the goals of the enterprises. When entrepreneurs use their abilities, they are impacted by two constraints: one constraint is entrepreneurial learning ability, which leads to the different innovative behavior between different entrepreneurs; the other constraint is innovation income and innovation cost, which promotes entrepreneurs provide innovative behavior only when innovation income is greater than innovation cost.Secondly, it is the analysis of the growth of the enterprise from the perspective of entrepreneurial behavior. The growth of the enterprise is a development of the enterprise, which comes from the competitive advantage because of the promotion of competitive ability of the enterprise. The organization of the material of the enterprise form the enterprise competence which is the base of the competitive ability. When entrepreneurial inherent ability is used with other material, entrepreneurial innovation activities will form a unique enterprise competence. Because entrepreneurial innovation activities can be divided into non-continuous innovation and continuous innovation, innovation activities are important to the path of the growth of the enterprise. Continuous innovation means an adjustment to the enterprise competence. Non-continuous innovation means a reconstruction to the enterprise competence. When entrepreneur's innovation is a continuous innovation, it not only consolidated and perfected the enterprise competence, but also have the enterprise fallen into path dependence of the growth of firm.Thirdly, it is the analysis of the sustainalbe development of the enterprise from the perspective of entrepreneurial behavior. The sustainalbe development of the enterprise needs a non-continuous innovation to break up the path dependence of the growth of enterprise. This paper on the one hand give the conditions about how the enterprise can achieve the sustainalbe development of the enterprise by the analysis of the monopolies, oligopolies enterprises and SMEs, on the other hand, explain the process of the sustainalbe development of the enterprise by the analysis of the relation between entrepreneurial learning ability and the sustainalbe development of the enterprise.Fourly, it is the analysis of the issue of incentives mechanism of entrepreneur. Though a relatively complete entrepreneurial incentive and restraint mechanism have been established in mordern firm, how to take advantage of the incentive and restraint mechanism is different in different stages of the development of the enterprise. In the course of growth of the enterprise, the enterprise needs entrepreneurial innovation activities, which is an Idiosyncratic Human Capital. Because Idiosyncratic Human Capital is a kind of knowledge which can not be explained by words, unlike the Coessential Human Capital, the enterprise can not find out whether the entrepreneurs have tried their best to manage the enterprise. The entrepreneurial incentive mechanism is the best way to promote entrepreneurs to organize the material of the enterprise.At last, this paper analyzes the entrepreneurial behavior and the growth of the enterprise in China on the base of the theoretical analysis in this paper. This paper analyzes the problem of growth of the enterprise from the perspective of entrepreneurial behavior, and figures out that under the condition of open economy, in order to achieve competitive advantage, the growth of the enterprise and the transformation of entrepreneurial behavior is of important significance...
