Shirokova G. V., Bogatyreva K. A. Interrelationship of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Firm Performance: Evidence from Study of Russian SMEs

The article presents results of the study on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance of SMEs in the context of an emerging market.

We also have found that this effect is primarily driven by risk taking.
