Modeling Executive Influences on Strategic Entrepreneurship
Speaker
Abstract
| Strategic entrepreneurship is the new term that has arisen in the literature to represent the intersection of strategy and entrepreneurship. Strategic entrepreneurship refers to a broad array of entrepreneurial phenomena that involve large scale or otherwise strategically consequential pursuits for attaining competitive advantage. While research has identified many drivers of strategic entrepreneurship , it has also been recognized that an organization’s strategic leadership, particularly chief executives and their top management team, play a key role in shaping the strategic entrepreneurial pursuits of organizations. Within this context, I present two empirical studies that specifically address the following questions: (1) Does a CEO’s personality impact the firm’s entrepreneurial posture; and (2) Does top management strategic decision process impact the firm’s entrepreneurial posture? |
