relationships between entrepreneurial orientation and business structuring in the process of incubation

Study Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and the structuring of business in the incubation process. Methodology/ Approach: A theoretical-conceptual approach was adopted, based on a systematic literature review (SLR) in the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases, using the string “Entrepreneurial Orientation” AND Incubat*. A total of 32 articles were selected for the full reading phase with the support of Atlas Ti software. Originality/Relevance: It indicates that the development and strengthening of entrepreneurial culture in nascent companies occur through the articulation of EO applied to incubation strategy. Main Results: As result, it was possible to develop a conceptual framework regarding the mediating antecedents and consequences of the relationships between EO and business incubation, as well as to rise propositions based on the research findings. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: This study advances the theory of EO by addressing it in the context of business incubation, a growing field with few studies from the EO-Incubation perspective. Social/Administrative Contributions: Relevant reflections are presented for institutional policymakers, universities, technology parks, governments, and other institutions interested in strengthening an entrepreneurship-oriented culture.
