The entrepreneurial perspective states that an organization can leverage the effectiveness impact of existing strategic management through opportunities exploration and exploitation, but little theoretical and empirical research addressed these issues. Developing the dialectical perspective on strategic entrepreneurship further, we theorize that contradictions’ reconciliation shapes opportunity creating and shaping. We delineated three such contradictions, that is deliberate versus emergent opportunities exploration, analysis versus intuition in entrepreneurial growth decisions, and physical versus intellectual capital investing in organization’s value. More specifically, we focus on explicating the strategic role that entrepreneurial, dialectical dynamics can play in enhancing organizational effectiveness.(original abstract)
