摘要：
Entrepreneurship and its relation with technology is studied extensively within organizations and often conceptualized as entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and technology orientation (TO). This paper empirically tests the relationship between these orientations and firm performance by measuring how environmental dynamism and hostility may influence the EO-TO relationship. After providing an overview of the relevant variables, data are collected from 229 firms in Johannesburg, South Africa. Statistical analyses are employed to test the hypothesized associations. Findings reveal robust reliability and validity of scales used, and significant correlations between EO and environment hostility and dynamism are reported.
