Miller (1983) Revisited: A Reflection on EO Research and Some Suggestions for the Future

Danny Miller

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2011, vol. 35, issue 5, 873-894

Abstract: Using Miller (1983) as a starting point, this article reviews the literature on entrepreneurial orientation or “EO.†It summarizes Miller's major points before recapping some of the subsequent literature and assessing why EO has become such a prominent topic. It identifies weaknesses in the literature, some of which, paradoxically, Miller wrote his article to guard against. It then makes recommendations for extending conceptually, and improving methodologically, future research on EO, arguing the importance of linking EO to current theories in strategy, organization theory, and economics. Methodological reorientations are also suggested to arrive at more cumulative and practical findings.
