Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is one of the most widely accepted firm-level constructs in the literature. The present study
provides a comprehensive qualitative review and evaluation of the empirical EO literature. It finds that EO research has made
considerable strides in recent years and is accelerating and broadening, although notable biases and inconsistencies in variable
choice and model specification remain. The article sheds light on the popularity of Miller’s unidimensional conceptualization
of EO, as well as the rise in multidimensional explorations of the phenomenon. It concludes with a discussion of the implications
of the study’s findings for EO-related research and practice.
