Abstract
In today’s rapidly evolving digital economy, entrepreneurial capability has become a crucial determinant of business sustainability. This study aims to synthesize existing knowledge on Entrepreneurial Dynamics by linking the Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) with Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA framework. A total of 24 Scopus-indexed studies published between 2011 and 2025 were analyzed using thematic synthesis and bibliometric mapping. The findings reveal six dominant themes - cognitive adaptability, learning agility, innovation capability, leadership and organizational climate, dynamic capabilities, and methodological foundation. Results indicate that EM influences EO through learning and innovation mechanisms, while EO reciprocally reinforces EM within organizations. These interdependent interactions conceptualize a two-way dynamic system that advances the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial behavior. The study contributes to entrepreneurship literature by establishing the Entrepreneurial Dynamics Framework as a foundation for future cross-level and policy-oriented research.
