%0 Journal Article %T The Mediating Role of Corporate Entrepreneurship in the Organizational Support¨CPerformance Relationship: An Empirical Examination %A Bostjan Antoncic %A Otmar Zorn %J Managing Global Transitions %D 2004 %I University of Primorska %X Corporate entrepreneurship has been recognized as an important element in organizational performance. Organizational support in terms of training and trusting individuals within the firm to detect opportunities and in terms of resource availability has been proposed to positively influence a firmˇŻs entrepreneurial activities. Despite the recognition of the organizational support¨Ccorporate entrepreneurship¨C performance linkage, this relationship has been approached in different ways from the theoretical and empirical perspective. Some unsolved mediation issues of past research are addressed in this study by testing three alternative hypotheses. The research design was a cross-sectional, mailed questionnaire. The findings indicate that corporate entrepreneurship (new firm formation, product/service and process innovation) can be considered a potent mediator in the organizational support¨Cperformance relationship. %U http://www.fm-kp.si/zalozba/ISSN/1581-6311/2_005-014.pdf
