The entrepreneurial orientation–performance relationship in private family firms: the moderating role of socioemotional wealth (2014, methodology): “Although this scale is the most commonly employed EO measure in the literature (Covin and Wales 2011; George 2011; George and Marino 2011), other scales exist which may provide interesting additional insights.”
Entrepreneurial orientation: A review and synthesis of promising research directions (2016, background): “This formative measurement model can be an acceptable alternative to a reflective measurement approach, and the thoroughly discussed benefits of employing reflective measurement models for examining EO (Covin and Wales, 2012; George, 2011; George and Marino, 2011), when there is a need to help expla”
Entrepreneurial mindset: Dispositional beliefs, opportunity beliefs, and entrepreneurial behavior (2021, background): “Although some researchers earnestly argue that EO research should be limited to the firm level (for example, Covin & Wales, 2019; George & Marino, 2011), many other researchers have embarked on individual-level EO projects.”
Creativity, self-efficacy, and small-firm performance: the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation (2015, background): “680), we retained all sub-dimensions despite their nonsignificant weights (Diamantopoulos et al. 2008; George and Marino 2011).”
Entrepreneurial Orientation: Assessing the Construct's Validity and Addressing Some of Its Implications for Research in the Areas of Family Business and Organizational Learning (2011, background): “While George and Marino (2011) lend impressive insights on how to assess and improve the construct validity of EO, Miller and LeBreton-Miller (2011) provide some interesting insights on how the concepts of identity and social identity can serve to explain why various types of ownership in family…”
Reconceptualizing entrepreneurial orientation (2015, methodology): “We also maintain that efforts to resolve measurement issues related to EO without addressing these ontological issues (e.g., Covin and Wales, 2012; George, 2011; George and Marino, 2011), while offering valuable insights, have limited utility.”
Entrepreneurial orientation in turbulent environments: The moderating role of absorptive capacity (2014, methodology): “…We identified this list of studies by first taking all studies of the meta-analysis on the EO-performance relationship from Rauch et al. (2009) into account and then studying the reviews on the EO literature from George and Marino (2011) and Wales et al. (2013) to add more recent studies.”
How Organizational Culture Influences Innovativeness, Proactiveness, and Risk‐Taking: Fostering Entrepreneurial Orientation in SMEs (2015, background): “Due to the fact that most researchers agree on those three core components (Miller and LeBreton-Miller 2011), an alteration of this concept could result in a different understanding of EO and thus would limit the potential contribution of our study regarding the EO research field (George and Marino ”
Strategic entrepreneurship: mediating the entrepreneurial orientation-performance link (2016, background): “The construct is reconfigured and reconceptualized with detailed discussions on epistemological and ontological differences of difference conceptualization (Anderson et al., 2014; George, 2011; George and Marino, 2011; Miller, 2011; Wales et al., 2015).”
