Summary
Previous studies revealed that there are relationships between entrepreneurship orientation and marketing performance, those connections are moderated by green company or ecoinnovation performance [1, 2]. Some studies reveal that entrepreneurship orientation does not have a relationship with the company performance and marketing performance [3, 4]. This study proposed eco-innovation to mediate between entrepreneurship orientation and marketing performance. Entrepreneurship orientation incorporates cultural development, new product and service development, technological advancement and green business issues [1, 9]. Entrepreneurship orientation does deal with the individual entrepreneur per se, and deals with the business environment influencing the entrepreneurs
