ABSTRACT

Research question

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is one of the performance measurements in the research on sport entrepreneurship. Another measure of performance studied is coopetition (simultaneous collaboration and competition). This study tested how EO might affect coopetition.

Research methods

In total, 106 sport entrepreneurs from the United States participated in a survey. This survey included an experiment measuring participants’ coopetition tendency (the dependent variable) and EO (the independent variable).

Results and findings

EO affected coopetition. This relationship was negative among sport entrepreneurs who reported training with their potential competitors and positive among sport entrepreneurs who did not report such training.

Implications

EO-behaviors (developing sport products, services, techniques, equipment, and practices) can encourage sport entrepreneurs towards coopetition. This might especially be the case for sport entrepreneurs who use their skills acquired from sports that they train or trained alone.

体育企业家的商业表现

摘要

研究问题

创业导向（EO）是体育创业研究中的绩效衡量指标之一。研究的另一种绩效衡量标准是合作竞争（同时合作和竞争）。本研究测试了 EO 如何影响合作竞争。

研究方法

总共有 106 名来自美国的体育企业家参与了一项调查。该调查包括一项测量参与者竞合倾向（因变量）和 EO（自变量）的实验。

结果和发现

EO 影响合作。这种关系在报告与潜在竞争对手一起接受培训的体育企业家中呈负相关，而在未报告此类培训的体育企业家中呈正相关。

启示

EO 行为（开发体育产品、服务、技术、设备和实践）可以鼓励体育企业家进行合作。对于体育企业家来说尤其如此，他们使用从自己训练或单独训练的运动中获得的技能。
