Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation (EAO) is a model to evaluate entrepreneurs’ attitude regarding decision making processes (Robinson et al., 1991). The subscales of the EAO measure individuals’ attitudes across four constructs: achievement in business (referring to the results of starting and growing a business venture); innovation in business (using innovative methods in business activities); perceived personal control of business outcomes (individual’s control and influence on his/her business); and perceived self-esteem in business (self-confidence and perceived competency in business affairs). EAO is assumed to have an influence on the market orientation.
