Abstract
This work considers strategic flexibility (SF), structural flexibility (SX) and information acquisition (IA) as dynamic capabilities that promote entrepreneurial orientation in the health sector. Based on a quantitative survey carried out with managers of healthcare organizations in France, we demonstrate that IA positively impacts EO and that SF mediates the IA–EO relationship. The findings also indicate that SX moderates the effect of SF on EO. Our research has relevant theoretical implications because it extends the entrepreneurship literature through a novel focus on EO determinants in the healthcare sector. Practical implications for managers and decision-makers are also noted. The findings offer insights to healthcare care managers that will allow them to review the management method to fully involve and engage teams and to be more entrepreneurial.

Résumé
Ce travail considère la flexibilité stratégique (SF), la flexibilité structurelle (SX) et l’acquisition d’informations (IA) comme des capacités dynamiques qui favorisent l’orientation entrepreneuriale dans le secteur de la santé. Sur la base d’une enquête quantitative menée auprès de responsables d’établissements de santé en France, nous démontrons que l’IA a un impact positif sur l’EO et que la SF joue un rôle de médiateur dans la relation entre l’IA et l’EO. Les résultats indiquent également que SX modère l’effet de SF sur EO. Notre recherche a des implications théoriques pertinentes car elle élargit la littérature sur l’entrepreneuriat en mettant l’accent sur les déterminants de l’EO dans le secteur de la santé. Elle a également des implications pratiques pour les gestionnaires et les décideurs. Les résultats offrent des perspectives aux responsables des établissements de santé qui leur permettront de revoir leurs méthodes de gestion afin d’impliquer et de faire participer pleinement les équipes en adoptant une approche plus entrepreneuriale.

Resumen
Este trabajo considera la flexibilidad estratégica (SF), la flexibilidad estructural (SX) y la adquisición de información (IA) como capacidades dinámicas que promueven la orientación empresarial en el sector sanitario. A partir de una encuesta cuantitativa realizada a directivos de organizaciones sanitarias de Francia, demostramos que la AI influye positivamente en la EO y que la FE media en la relación IA‑EO. Los resultados también indican que la SX modera el efecto de la SF en la EO. Nuestra investigación tiene implicaciones teóricas relevantes, ya que amplía la literatura sobre iniciativa empresarial mediante un enfoque novedoso sobre los determinantes de la EO en el sector sanitario. También se observan implicaciones prácticas para directivos y responsables de la toma de decisiones. Las conclusiones ofrecen ideas a los gestores de la asistencia sanitaria que les permitirán revisar el método de gestión para implicar y comprometer plenamente a los equipos y ser más emprendedores.
