In spite of the recognition that entrepreneurship and innovation are interlinked, very few studies have attempted to articulate this relationship. The aim of this article is to explain the nature of the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation in large firms, arguing that entrepreneurship is an antecedent to innovation. The study employs a multidimensional entrepreneurial architecture (EA) framework for the first time and tests the effect of a battery of entrepreneurship measures on innovation output, which is reflected as degree and frequency of incremental and radical innovations. Adopting a quantitative approach, data were collected from 400 corporate firms in Oman representing various sectors of the economy. The EA dimensions reflected through entrepreneurial culture, entrepreneurial structure, entrepreneurial strategies and entrepreneurial leadership were tested through measurement and structural modelling. The results confirmed that entrepreneurship is a precursor to innovation. The EA framework, through its four dimensions, creates a collaborative and complimentary intensity that promotes innovation outputs, which may not be possible from the isolated effects of individual factors. The present study extends the extant literature, explaining how these entrepreneurship measures synergistically impact varying levels of innovation output. It has practical implications for managers in large firms involved in promoting innovation. They can transform the existing organisational architecture into an EA, by transplanting these entrepreneurship measures and creating a framework that promotes innovation.

创业建筑

尽管认识到企业家精神和创新是相互联系的,但很少有研究试图阐明这种关系。本文的目的是解释大企业中企业家精神与创新之间关系的性质,认为企业家精神是创新的先决条件。该研究首次采用了多维企业家架构(EA)框架,并测试了一系列创业措施对创新产出的影响,这反映为渐进式和激进式创新的程度和频率。采用定量方法,从阿曼的400家企业中收集了代表经济各个部门的数据。EA维度通过企业文化,企业结构,通过度量和结构建模对企业家战略和企业家领导力进行了测试。结果证实,企业家精神是创新的先驱。EA框架通过其四个维度创建了协作和互补的强度,以促进创新输出,而这可能是个别因素的孤立影响所无法实现的。本研究扩展了现有文献,解释了这些创业措施如何协同影响创新产出的不同水平。它对参与促进创新的大公司的管理人员具有实际意义。通过移植这些企业家精神措施并创建促进创新的框架,他们可以将现有的组织架构转变为EA。
