Abstract

National culture has an impact on management attitudes, values, practises, and organizational efficacy. To effectively implement corporate entrepreneurship, companies must have the right culture in place to develop and support innovation. Corporate entrepreneurship gives businesses a major competitive advantage and allows them to seize new opportunities. The major goal of this study is to look at the link between corporate entrepreneurship and national culture in Pakistani manufacturing firms. Data was collected using a quantitative research approach based on a questionnaire survey. A total of 307 usable response received from managers of Lahore Chamber of Commerce. The findings reveal that individualism/collectivism, masculinity/feminity or short vs. long-term orientation is statistically significant with corporate entrepreneurship while power distance and uncertainty avoidance is not statistically significant with corporate entrepreneurship. The findings will aid intra-preneurs in developing cultural dimensions in order to accelerate innovation, agility, and corporate renewal in their businesses.

Key words: Corporate entrepreneurship, national culture, manufacturing companies.
