Entrepreneurship & Regional Development, 2010, vol. 22, issue 7-8, 707-730

Abstract: Numerous studies examining the linkage between corporate entrepreneurship and performance resort to the entrepreneurial orientation construct to assess a firm's degree of entrepreneurship. Little conceptual and empirical research has been devoted to understanding the factors and conditions that produce Entrepreneurial Orientation. Generic explanatory variables such as environment, organization, strategy and culture have been mentioned in past research, but though a number of hypotheses have been proposed, few have been thoroughly developed and tested. In this article, we focus on one explanatory variable -- culture -- that we develop along multiple axes. We propose a conceptual framework that aims to provide a better understanding of how three interdependent levels of culture -- national, industry and corporate -- influence Entrepreneurial Orientation.
