Abstract: This study delves into the impact of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on radical innovation within specialized and new enterprises situated in Zhejiang Province, China. Building upon knowledge-based theory, organizational learning theory, and social network theory, this study develops a comprehensive model that explores the mediating effects of organizational learning ability (OLA) and enterprise network ability (ENA) on the relationship between EO and radical innovation. Through a meticulous questionnaire survey of 350 enterprises, this study collects rich data which are subsequently analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Our findings unveil that EO exerts a notably positive influence on radical innovation, with the dimensions of innovation and foresight/proactivity demonstrating more substantial effects compared to risk-taking. Furthermore, both OLA and ENA function as critical mediators in the EO-radical innovation nexus, fostering a mutually reinforcing and cyclical relationship that underscores their synergistic effect. These insights offer actionable recommendations for enterprises aiming to bolster radical innovation by aligning their strategic orientation, enhancing organizational learning, and cultivating robust network capabilities.
