Enhancing entrepreneurial orientation research: operationalizing and measuring a key strategic decision making process
评估了测量企业创业导向的三种方法(管理者感知、企业行为、资源分配)的优缺点,提出通过三角测量提高准确性,并讨论了测量选择中的理论、资源可用性和可解释性考量。
As a means to enhance prescriptive theory on a firm’s entrepreneurial orientation, this paper addresses the strengths and weaknesses of three approaches to measurement: managerial perceptions, firm behaviors, and resource allocations. We examine a set of recent studies employing these approaches, propose important contingencies regarding their use, and suggest that measurement accuracy can be improved by using a triangulation of methods. The paper concludes with a discussion of theoretical, resource availability, and interpretability considerations in measurement selection.
