Abstract
Extending upper echelon theory perspective, the paper extends the past research literatures on the effects of CEO characteristics in determining strategic choices of firms, and examines the effects of CEO's temporal orientation on entrepreneurial orientation of firms. Moreover, examining the contingent effects of environmental munificence, complexity, and dynamism in the U-shaped relationship between CEO's temporal orientation and entrepreneurial orientation of firm contributes to the understanding of the boundary conditions and determines the strength of the relationship between CEO's temporal orientation and EO of firm. We test our hypotheses using panel data analysis of Indian firms during 2007–2016.
