“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running”.
- Thomas L. Friedman (in “The World Is Flat”) -

STRATEGY ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION
An entrepreneurial firm is one that engages in product-market innovation, undertakes somewhat risky ventures, and is first to come up with “proactive” innovations, beating competitors to the punch.A non-entrepreneurial firm is one that innovates very little, is highly risk averse, and imitates the moves of competitors instead of leading the way.
Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) =
Risk Taking
Proactiveness
Innovativeness
