Knowledge creation theory of entrepreneurial orientation in social enterprises
研究了澳大利亚112家社会企业中，知识交换与创造的机会、动机和能力如何驱动创业导向，发现机会和动机影响能力，进而促进知识交换和组合，最终提升创业导向。
This study advances the entrepreneurial orientation and knowledge creation literature by investigating the ways opportunities, motivations, and abilities to knowledge exchange and knowledge creation drive entrepreneurial orientation in social enterprises. Using a pretested and pilot-tested survey questionnaire, data was gathered from 112 Australian social enterprises. Path analysis results identified that opportunity and motivation influence ability, which subsequently affects knowledge exchange. Knowledge combination is preceded by knowledge exchange which consequently influences entrepreneurial orientation. Future studies may consider including moderating variables, and investigating the development of opportunities, motivations, and abilities of employees to spur entrepreneurial orientation in the social enterprise context.
