INTERORGANISATIONAL COLLABORATION AS A DIMENSIO OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION OF NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify the links between interorganisational collaboration and social entrepreneurship and to propose the way in which interorganisational collaboration can be reflected in entrepreneurial orientation scales, especially in relevance to non- -profit organizations. A role of interorganisational collaboration in pursuing societal needs is examined in the view of the related theory. The dominant research method is the literature review that is focused on publications on interorganisational collaboration, entrepreneurial orientation, and social entrepreneurship. The results show that interorganisational collaboration may play an important role in meeting societal needs, however, more research addressed to that phenomenon are recommended. Propositions related to operationalization and measurement of collaborative behaviours in the context of social entrepreneurship are presented. It is recommended to include interorganisational collaboration into entrepreneurial orientation scale, and to adjust the items related to competitive aggressiveness. As measures of interorganisational collaboration related to organizational entrepreneurship, the qualitative and quantitative items are suggested in the article.
