The Influence of Top Management’s Strategic Planning Capacity and Entrepreneurial Orientation on Corporate Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Abstract This study examines whether, and how, top management influences middle management’s support of corporate entrepreneurship activities. Specifically, the study explores the influence of top management characteristics, i.e. strategic planning capacity and entrepreneurial orientation, on manager’s decision to support innovation adoption. We report on the findings from a vignette study. Research participants included a group of 259 experienced business professionals: 148 from the United States and 111 from China. The results suggest that the alignment of strategic planning capacity and entrepreneurial orientation influences middle management’s support for corporate entrepreneurship in both cultural settings.
