Abstract: In recent years, academic and practitioner interest has focused on developing entrepreneurial and innovative cultures as a method of competitive differentiation. However, much less attention has been devoted to understanding the factors that support an entrepreneurial and innovation orientation (EIO) in organisations. This article describes a model which explicates the EIO construct, and proposes a valid multi-item measure of EIO. The findings suggest that an EIO may best be represented through a model that consists of five factors identified as empowerment, market orientation, strategic infrastructure, context-focused learning, and creativity.

Keywords: entrepreneurship; entrepreneurial orientation; innovation orientation; organisation culture; entrepreneurs; organisational factors; entrepreneurial cultures; innovative cultures; competitive differentiation; multi-item measures; empowerment; market orientation; strategic infrastructures; context-focused learning; creativity.
