Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument: Refinement and Validation of a Survey Measure

The study of corporate entrepreneurship has established itself as a valuable area of research for both public and private-sector organizations. The measurement instrument known as the Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Index (CEAI) has been designed to tap the climate-related organizational factors that represent and potentially encourage corporate entrepreneurship. This study is an attempt to refine the CEAI. The core constructs of the CEAI are redefined the items are tested for content validity the factor structure is analyzed and the CEAI is correlated to other known measures to validate the CEAI. Through this testing the CEAI was refined and found to be a useful measure for predicting an innovative entrepreneurial environment.
