“…Lumpkin and Dess (1996) analyzed how several factors affect the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on firm performance. Subsequent studies have explored the role of internal factors such as the availability of resources (Wiklund & Shepherd, 2005), commercialization capability, the strategy-making process (Covin et al, 2006;García-Villaverde, Ruiz-Ortega, & Canales, 2013), the internal social context (De Clercq, Dimov, & Thongpapanl, 2010), and the generation of the family involved in running the business (Chirico et al, 2011). Other scholars have found evidence of the role of external factors such as hostility, turbulence, and environmental dynamism (Covin & Covin, 1990;Dess, Lumpkin, & Covin, 1997;Namen & Slevin, 1993;Wiklund & Shepherd, 2005), the industry lifecycle (Lumpkin & Dess, 2001), and external networks (Lee, Lee, & Pennings 2001;Stam & Elfring, 2008).…”

This article investigates the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity on family firm performance. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) was used to analyze empirical data for 218 Spanish family firms. Absorptive capacity positively mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and family firm performance. This total mediation effect suppressed the direct effect of entrepreneurial orientation on family firm performance. A major implication of this finding is that for family firms to improve their performance through entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity must act as a mediator.

“…Tal pensamento é corroborado por García-Villaverde et al (2013), quando destacam que a orientação empreendedora está intrinsecamente relacionada com a percepção do gestor sobre a organização. Diante deste cenário, a seguir serão apresentadas as conclusões sobre a pesquisa, bem como suas limitações e possibilidades de novas pesquisas motivadas por inquietações sucedidas pela presente.…”

ResumoObserva-se que não existe um consenso entre os cientistas e gestores sobre qual a abordagem da orientação empreendedora (uni ou multidimensional) é geradora de melhores resultados. Não obstante, teóricos destacam que as capacidades gerenciais são fontes de vantagem competitiva e estão atreladas a orientação da gestão organizacional. Logo, a orientação empreendedora do gestor apresenta-se como preditora da capacidade gerencial e, por conseguinte, de melhores resultados. No entanto, ainda persistem as dúvidas em relação a qual abordagem estratégica da orientação empreendedora é fonte de geração da capacidade gerencial. Assim, procurando contribuir com este contexto de imprecisão, a presente pesquisa objetiva associar a orientação empreendedora dos gestores, de maneira uni e multidimensional, com a sua capacidade gerencial. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram alicerçados em uma pesquisa quantitativa com 102 concessionários de transporte público, sendo que os resultados foram analisados por meio da técnica de associação de Spearman. Os resultados demonstraram que existe associação positiva entre a orientação empreendedora e as capacidades gerenciais dos concessionários, independente da abordagem -uni ou multidimensional. Todavia, a orientação empreendedora quando analisada sob a ótica da unidimensionalidade apresenta um coeficiente superior às abordagens multidimensionais. Conclui-se, portanto, que a capacidade gerencial, conceituada na literatura especializada como fonte de vantagem competitiva poderá ser alcançada por meio da orientação empreendedora do gestor, descaracterizando a condição única da abordagem unidimensional, conforme entendimento de Miller (1983), visto que foi possível constatar que, também, existe correspondência entre as estratégias proativas, ou inovativas, ou ainda de assunção de riscos e a capacidade gerencial.

AbstractIt is observed that there is no consensus among scientists and managers on what approach to entrepreneurial orientation (single/uni or multi) generates better results. Nevertheless, theorists emphasize that managerial skills are sources of competitive advantage and are tied to the orientation of the organizational management. Therefore, the manager's entrepreneurial orientation is a predictor of managerial capability and, consequently, of better results. However, there are still doubts about which strategic approach to entrepreneurial orientation is a source of generation of managerial capacity. Thus, seeking to contribute to this context of uncertainty, this research aims to associate the entrepreneurial orientation of managers, in a single and multidimensional approach, with their managerial capability.

“…Lumpkin and Dess (2001) observed entrepreneurial orientation as an organization-level phenomenon that involves key decisions made on behalf of the entire organization [14], and so they improved their previous definition of EO as a set of processes, practices, and decision-making activities that lead to new entries [18] (p. 136). They also supplemented the dimensions of innovation, proactivity, and risk-taking, determined by Miller (1983) [6,19,20], with tendencies to act independently and inclinations to be aggressive toward competition [6,14,18,21]. According to Avlonitis and Salavou (2007), entrepreneurial orientation is an organizational phenomenon that mirrors a managerial capability by which companies adopt proactive and aggressive initiatives in altering the competitive scene for their advantage [14,22].…”

This study explores the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on the activities of state universities in the Republic of Serbia. Using the ENTRE-U scale, the researchers have graded the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of the employees at state universities in the Republic of Serbia. In the theoretical part, the detailed literature review is provided, which contributes to a better understanding of terms like entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial university. Using data from 282 respondents who work at the state universities in the Republic of Serbia, the researchers validate the ENTRE-U questionnaire in a specific context. With this, it is proven that the ENTRE-U scale is applicable not only for developed countries but also for the developing countries, such as the Republic of Serbia. The general conclusion is that with using the ENTRE-U scale, it is possible to predict the level of innovativeness, as well as the nature of innovative activities that are conducted at state universities in the Republic of Serbia. The entrepreneurially oriented universities differ from those which lack entrepreneurial orientation by the extent of their research mobilization, unconventional approaches, the level of cooperation with industries, and the way university policies are implemented.
