Abstract: Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is at the forefront of research in corporate entrepreneurship. Miller's founding study (1983) established the three initial dimensions of OE: innovation, proactivity, and risk-taking. Organizational characteristics were also included in this study, correlating entrepreneurship to organicity in dynamic environments, entrepreneurship to internal initiative, in particular to the personality of the leader in simple firms, and thirdly to the product-market strategy in ‘Planning' (mechanistic) organisations. We would like to point out that Miller (1983), Covin and Slevin (1988, 1989), and Lumpkin and Dess (1996) all call for organizational and environmental factors to support EO.
