Abstract:
The entrepreneurial orientation is a very important construct assuring the proper functioning of an organization and is perceived as one of the most important elements having a significant impact on the position of enterprises in their business environment. The goal of this article is to identify the importance of the entrepreneurial orientation for individuals from different countries in Europe and in Asia and also to check out if there are any differences in perception of this five-dimensional construct by employees working in different countries. In order to collect the necessary data, a qualitative study has been carried out, based on partially structured individual in-depth interviews with employees from Poland, France and China. Two representatives were selected from each country. Each interview consisted of two parts: the first part explained the purpose of the interview, while the second part was the substantive part of the interview. Each interview lasted about 60 minutes. The collected information helped us formulate the initial conclusions about the importance of the entrepreneurial orientation for employees from selected countries and also whether there are any differences in perception of this important construct depending on the country.
