Can Strategic Entrepreneurship Profiles Predict Innovation? Towards a Theory of Innovation-Prediction Categories using Entrepreneurship Schools of Thought

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to present the relationship between an entrepreneur's choice of strategy and the innovative capacity of his/her new venture. The principal proposition of this exploration is that entrepreneurs that identify more readily to either the design or learning strategy formation school of thought will lead organizations that experience more innovation during the life of the firm. The schools of thought considered in this paper refer to the strategy formation categorizations presented by Mintzberg et. al (1998).
