Abstract

Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) intentions which are outcome of individuals’ cognitive and affective state, plays an eminent role in triggering firms’ success, growth, and profitability. Despite this recognition, the literature on the corporate entrepreneurial activities on the whole is largely fragmented and disparate. The present study builds on the fragmented work on CE to synthesize it. For this, an integrative framework on the previous studies have been developed to gain an overview of the field. The framework facilitated in guiding promising future directions in the field. The way forward on the corporate entrepreneurship is also discussed for the scholars to extend theory.
