| Abstract: | This study develops and tests a model that defines the influence of comprehensiveness on the company's pursuit of corporate entrepreneurship. The main argument is that while comprehensiveness helps decision-makers get the knowledge needed to escape the ignorance and overcome doubt concerning this pursuit, this profitable influence is conditional upon managerial uncertainty preferences, together with the level of dynamism in the external environment. Findings from a large sample study of CEOs from 349 SMEs support this argument and hypotheses. |
