That purpose was achieved through the review of papers related to innovativeness published in the most acknowledged journals. The complexity of innovativeness has been exposed as well as the legitimacy of conducting further research on investigating that phenomenon. It was also recognized that innovativeness had been explored in conjunction with searching for opportunities, adaptation and absorption of the innovations developed by competitors, and exploration and exploitation, which are the key drivers of entrepreneurship. It was noted that innovativeness was also analyzed in terms of risk taking and proactivity.
