Study Notes

Overview of the Study

  • Focus on the impact of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) on the performance of women-owned SMEs in Vietnam.
  • Five dimensions of EO evaluated: innovation, competitive aggressiveness, proactiveness, risk-taking, and autonomy.

Entrepreneurial Orientation Dimensions

  • Innovation: Involves creating and supporting new ideas, products, and services. Crucial for competitive advantages.
  • Competitive Aggressiveness: Describes a company’s pursuit of market share through superior positioning against competitors.
  • Proactiveness: Reflects the ability of businesses to recognize and seize opportunities swiftly, fostering growth.
