Abstract

This study presents the development, validation, and application of an instrument tailored to assess the conduciveness of the internal environment for corporate entrepreneurship among large Costa Rican organizations. Based on a sample of 201 managers, principal component analysis was used to identify and validate a new measuring tool. The validated instrument was applied to a sample of 184 managers belonging to four different economic sectors. T-tests and ANOVA were implementedto identify differences in the perceptions of participants. The results of the application of the instrument suggest that while perceptions of conduciveness of the internal environments significantly differ among sectors, the lack of time and incentives for innovation is negatively associated with the entrepreneurial climate among all large firms in Costa Rica.
