Abstract
This article discusses research that examines the relationship between a firm's entrepreneurial orientation and their overall performance. The authors note that firms that follow a strategy of corporate entrepreneurship are able to pursue growth through new venture opportunities and strategic renewal. Firms that are able to effectively follow this strategy experience sustainable advantages and yield above-average returns. They outline and discuss five dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship including autonomy, innovativness, proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness and risk-taking. They examine what implications these strategies have for managers and identify areas of future research.
