Barney, (1991) and Grant, (1991) mentioned three kinds of resources in their study. Physical resource like technologies and equipment being etc, organizational resource like formal reporting structure, coordinating structure and formal and informal planning and human resource like training, judgment, experience, intelligence and relationships.
In the light of Resource Based View, when we talk about the entrepreneurial orientation in an organization, should entrepreneurial orientation be considered as human resource or organizational resource. According to my perspective, it should be considered as a human resource due to the dimensions with which entrepreneurial orientation is comprised of. But I cannot get any article which directly supports this argument.
Can anyone please comment on this view and provide me some literature support if possible?
In Resource Based View, firm is considered as bundle of resources and capabilities, specific combination of which will lead to competitive advantage. Entrepreneurial orientation provides ability of skilled diagnosis, risk taking and creative solutions to organizational problems. In a vibrant and changing business environment, entrepreneurial managers would strategically deploy all the organizational resources, that include: Physical, Financial, Technical and Human resources. Human resources are one of the important organizational resources and must be converted into Human capital, through training, development, empowerment, and creative engagement so as to enable organization to use it as strategic asset. It must be recognized that core competencies reside in a company's people.
Chaudry, I suppose entrepreneurial resources are both, human and organizational resources. Therefore, I recommend treating it like identity or culture as a resource. Maybe the attached paper is helpful Best wishes, Stephan

Sr. Chaudry. I fully share his idea. The issue is within the concept of intellectual capital. You can help: SANCHEZ, MELIÁN, HORMIGA. (2007). El concepto de Capital intelecual y sus dimensiones. Investigaciones Europeas de Dirección y Economía de la Empresa, 13 (2): 97-111.

Quite clearly no. EO is a subjective preference for pursuing a specific objective, such as growth. This may be based on a judgement of your resources and capabilities or simply a mis-judgement of your skills, or even a psychologically motivated thing.
You can see the enclosed article and the related references. Regards, MV
Agree with Marc Cowling on this one. It's a theoretical reach to characterize EO as an entrepreneurial resource per se.
