5. Discussion and conclusion
Important discoveries are reported in the current research. Given that entrepreneurship is part of an organization's competitive advantage in today's rapidly changing environment, we hope that the current research will help researchers to formally investigate the relationship between alertness to business ideas and entrepreneurial capabilities. In addition, we find that the effect of alertness to business ideas on innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness are both positive and significant, which highlights the importance of understanding customers thoroughly, and focusing on state-of-the-art technology to adapt to changing environments. Moreover, the results for the study supported our hypotheses of the interaction effect of risk propensity on alertness to business ideas and entrepreneurial capabilities. In particular, the alertness to business ideas led to a significantly higher level of entrepreneurial capabilities with higher level of risk propensity, which can help an entrepreneur attain excellence.
