The literature has suggested that
an entrepreneurially alert information system may be a salient driver of
corporate entrepreneurship, even though this role has been neither
theoretically articulated nor empirically substantiated. Building upon the
organizational learning, information orientation, and entrepreneurial awareness
literatures we identify three key elements of a firm's entrepreneurially alert
information system, and then develop a parsimonious model that examines the
impact of these elements on corporate entrepreneurship.
Using both single- and
multi-source survey data from 495 small- to medium-sized firms, we
test our model and find that each
element individually and collectively imparts significant positive influence on
corporate entrepreneurship.
