Abstract
Long-term orientation (LTO) is an important topic for management and entrepreneurship research because of the increasing emphasis businesses and policy makers are placing on social venturing and sustainability. Long-term thinking, for example, is often a key to effectively pursuing a triple bottom line. LTO has roots in stewardship theory, culture studies, decision theories and family business research. Definitions and insights about LTO from these literatures, however, are not always compatible. This presentation will introduce a framework for studying long-term orientation that includes three dimensions—futurity, continuity, and perseverance. It will also address why long-term orientation matters to entrepreneurship researchers and suggest future opportunities for LTO research.
