For instance, by using a five-dimension EO model, Koe (2013) found that innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness and autonomy positively influenced the performance of government-linked companies (GLCs). In addition, Dada and Watson (2013) regarded EO as a holistic construct and confirmed that it positively related to financial and non-financial performance of franchise system.…”

The importance of entrepreneurship to a nation development is unneglectable. Malaysian government has carried out various supporting activities to promote entrepreneurial activities in the country. However, the results were less embracing, especially among the young adults. As such, understanding of what influence young adults' intention towards entrepreneurship is important in the effort of entrepreneurship development. This study was carried out to address the university students' level of entrepreneurial intention and the influence of individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) on entrepreneurial intention. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 176 undergraduate students from a public university with "entrepreneurial university" status. The results indicated that university students demonstrated intention towards entrepreneurship and were quite positive towards becoming entrepreneurs. In addition, university students' entrepreneurial intention was found to be positively affected by their quality of proactiveness and innovativeness. However, risk-taking ability was not an influential factor on entrepreneurial intention. Theoretically, this paper confirmed the importance of studying EO at the individual level. Practically, it suggested that higher learning institutions should pay careful attention in designing their entrepreneurship education curriculum. Specifically, the entrepreneurship training should focus on enhancing students IEO ability and increasing their entrepreneurial intention. Recommendations for future researchers have also been put forth at the end of this paper.

“…The uni-dimensional view EO as a three-factor or composite model made of, innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking of Covin and Slevin ( 1986 ) and contrary to that, Lumpkin and Dess ( 1996 ), viewed EO as having five dimensions where competitive aggressiveness and autonomy have been added to Miller’s assertion of EO, and that not all the five dimensions must manifest to depict SMEs performance, which suggest the need for more studies using the five EO model with mediating and or moderating variables that relate to the internal and external features of SMEs in other forms of businesses and countries to appreciate how each of the variables affect SMEs performance and help reduce confusing descriptive and normative theory building if all the five (5) EO dimensions are not used (e.g. Lumpkin and Dess 2001 ; Wiklund and Shepherd Wiklund and Shepherd 2005 ; Pett and Wolff 2010 ; Mahmood and Hanafi 2013 ; Alembummah 2015 ; Gathenya et al 2011 ; Mason et al 2015 ; Koe Koe 2013 ; Zahra 2008; Arshad et al Arshad et al 2018 ; Rezaei and Ortt 2018 ; Ibrahim and Abu 2020 ). For an enhanced and sustainable performance of SMEs, they need not only financial capital and human capital (i.e.…”

The primary aim of this current theoretical paper is to propose a research framework on the influence of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) on SMEs performance in Ghana with the role of Social Capital (SC) and Government Support Policies (GSPs). The study re-viewed existing literature and theories pertaining EO, SC and GSPs by using the five EO dimensions of Lumpkin and Dess ( 1996 ) to further ascertain the mediating and moderating effect of SC and GSPs in relation to SMEs performance and in Ghana and used measures of SC, and GSPs. A questionnaire will be administered to 380 registered SME-owners of Ghana based on Ghana Statistical Survey (2016) using simple random sampling technique, and the data will be analysed by the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to determine the emerged hypothesis. This study would be hinged on the resource-based view and the social capital theories stressing the need for SMEs to focus more on their unique internal and external resources that existed with-in their social capital network based on their reciprocal relations. This novel study would further provide new insight to practitioners to understand and appreciate the role of SC in explaining the EO of SMEs and how GSPs can enhance the EO and SMEs performance relationship.

“…Without the existence of entrepreneurial orientation, there will be no new ideas and the implementation of innovation is almost impossible. Koe (2013) states that entrepreneurial orientation leads to value creation as it improves the performance of the organization, growth, market share, and stakeholder satisfaction. Past studies have found that organizations that perform corporate entrepreneurship obtain higher profits (Omar & Ishak, 2013;Che Omar, Mohamad, & Abdul Kader, 2012;Entebang, Abu Mansor, & Puah, 2006;Antoncic & Hisrich, 2003;Ferreira, 2002).…”

“…In addition, by recognizing the importance of innovation and entrepreneurial orientation, the government has decided to create a more entrepreneurial environment so that organizations would be engaged in a high-tech based undertaking and have the ability to meet the demands of the market. According to Koe (2013), GLCs need to be more entrepreneurial than bureaucratic, as it will enable organizations to create value and improve their performances. Therefore, this study investigates the practices of entrepreneurial orientation as a strategy of sustainable competitive advantage among different categories of Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia.…”

This study is an attempt to assess the status of the current level of entrepreneurial orientation among the Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia. This study collected primary data based on a set of questionnaire survey among 134 executives and managers of GLCs in Malaysia. The data were collected based on opinions of the seven factors of entrepreneurial orientation practices by using the five-point Likert scale. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Further, the reliability of the data was tested using Cronbach’s alpha test, the validity of the data was tested by checking the normality test through skewness and kurtosis, and the consistency of the data was tested using factor analysis. On an average, 70.9% of the respondents agreed that they focus on these factors of entrepreneurial orientation. The federal owned GLCs place more emphasis on entrepreneurial orientation than the state owned GLCs. This study suggests improving the practices of entrepreneurial orientation of GLCs in Malaysia by emphasizing on recognizing individual risk takers for their willingness to champion new projects, whether it eventually turns out to be successful or not, encouraging employees to take calculated risks with new ideas, considering the term “risk taker” as a positive attribute for people in the organization, and supporting many small and experimental projects by realizing that some will undoubtedly fail.
