The impact path of corporate entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial performance: An empirical study based on the companies located in Pearl River Delta

Abstract

Abstract: It is widely recognized that both opportunity identification and resource integration act as the mediator between corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial performance; however only few research has been devoted to how it functions. Based on an empirical study of 235 companies in the Pearl River Delta with case analysis, the conclusions are made as follows: (1) the incremental corporate entrepreneurship plays an important role in boosting opportunity identification and resource integration. With the background of eastern culture and growth-typed markets, the impact is more significant. (2) The radical corporate entrepreneurship has greater impact on opportunity identification and resource integration, with mature and competitive markets and the background of western culture, the impact is more significant. The conclusions enrich the relevant theories on the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial performance. It is instructive to entrepreneurial practice, especially to the practice of corporate entrepreneurship in Chinese companies.

Key words: corporate entrepreneurship, opportunity identification, resource integration, entrepreneurial performance
