In the evolving landscape of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a combination of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and innovation capabilities is essential for achieving sustainable innovation performance (SIP). This comprehensive literature review explores EO and its substantial influence on promoting sustainable innovation, as well as the mediating role of ICs in SMEs contexts. The findings show that EO directly enhances SIP and ICs. Further, SIP is directly affected by the ICs. The results also showed that ICs act as mediator role for converting EO-driven practices into sustainable innovation performance. While EO leads entrepreneurs into setting the entrepreneurial mindset, ICs will be able to put into innovation solutions that fit with long term sustainability targets. This work establishes a foundation for future empirical research on the interplay between EO, ICs, and SIP.

摘要

In the evolving landscape of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a combination of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and innovation capabilities is essential for achieving sustainable innovation performance (SIP). This comprehensive literature review explores EO and its substantial influence on promoting sustainable innovation, as well as the mediating role of ICs in SMEs contexts. The findings show that EO directly enhances SIP and ICs. Further, SIP is directly affected by the ICs. The results also showed that ICs act as mediator role for converting EO-driven practices into sustainable innovation performance. While EO leads entrepreneurs into setting the entrepreneurial mindset, ICs will be able to put into innovation solutions that fit with long term sustainability targets. This work establishes a foundation for future empirical research on the interplay between EO, ICs, and SIP.
