Assessing the Entrepreneurial Orientation by Opportunity/Necessity Dichotomy: An Institutional Perspective
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2019, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper aims to deepen in the influence played by the institutional burdens on the entrepreneurial orientation using a comparative analysis of opportunity vs necessity entrepreneurship. To prove our hypotheses, a Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling Multi-Group Analysis with repetition of indicators approach was implemented to run the hierarchical construct model in order to evaluate the effects on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) by institutional burdens in a sample of 250 micro and small firms in Mexico. The results show that, in a general view, the institutional burdens affect the entrepreneurial orientation in a stronger way when an opportunity entrepreneurship exists; the positive influence seems to benefit the proactivity of the firm. Regarding policy implications, it reveals the importance of the institutions to promote a competitive perception for increasing the entrepreneurship by opportunity.<br/><br/>
