Abstract

This study compares and contrasts certain characteristics of entrepreneurial orientations in response to China's emerging business environment among state owned enterprises (SOEs) and township/village enterprises (TVEs). A survey of SOE and TVE managers shows that, in comparison to SOEs, TVEs tend to be more innovative, adaptive and proactive in response to the dynamism and munificence of the business environment. SOE-TVE differences are less pronounced, however, with regard to environmental complexity. Implications for entrepreneurship research and practice as well as for the future performance of SOEs and TVEs are delineated.
