Strategic & Entrepreneurial Orientation & Growth of Small Firms

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the concept of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) as a strategic framework for firms, initially defined by Miller and later expanded by Lumpkin and Dess to include five dimensions: innovativeness, pro-activeness, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy. It critically examines the relationship between EO and firm growth, noting that while many studies suggest a positive correlation, some report mixed or negative results. The research aims to uncover the reasons for these inconsistencies by analyzing the EO construct's composition.
