Abstract Most prior research on entrepreneurial orientation treat its features as an aggregate construct to investigate its influence on firm performance,ignoring complex relationships among different features.This study deconstructs entrepreneurial orientation into Innovativeness,Risk-taking and Proactiveness ,and investigates how entrepreneurial orientation dimensions and contingenciesinfluence firm performance collectively by using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.The results show that,innovativeness is a core-necessary condition of high firm performance,however,the importance of risk-taking and proactiveness are depend on different contingencies The results are beneficial for the development and application of entrepreneurial orientation in China,and offer new insights into causally complex issues in strategic management field.
