Much recent research on corporate entrepreneurship has focused on the consequences of moderating and mediating variables for firm performance. Despite this emphasis, little is known about variation in context structure across organizations and environments or about the antecedents of this variation. In a theoretical study rhe author endeavors to explain this variation by focusing on contextual dimensions - such as organizational culture, top management team, strategy, organization, and environment - and integrating them with underlying characteristics of corporate entrepreneurship. The framework has important implications for future research in entrepreneurship, strategic management, and organization theory.
