Abstract

As entrepreneurship continues to play an increasingly significant role in the growth and success of businesses, nations, and the global economy, it is of the utmost importance to understand the factors that support or hinder entrepreneurial activity. China’s historically tumultuous past provides an ideal platform on which entrepreneurship can be examined over a period of time and through a multitude of analytical lenses. With the establishment of a clear definition of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and its application to China’s past and present, it becomes clear that it is a combination of formal and informal institutions, as well as a multiplicity of economic, political, and environmental factors that allow for entrepreneurship to thrive. Given the aggregation of encouragement and impediment of entrepreneurship that has existed throughout the nation’s history, this paper seeks to delineate how China’s EO has transformed from the end of the Dynastical Era to today.
