Design/methodology/approach Utilizing a sample of 1326 MBA students Vietnam with stratified sampling approach, multiple linear regression polynomial response surface analysis were used test hypotheses. Findings The findings reveal that competencies have positive significant impact on exploitation, which turn, positively affects activities. Moreover, also reports exploitation can be congruently combined each other effects Practical implications Some valuable recommendations based been provided for practitioners policymakers. Originality/value contributes academic landscape by validating SOR model within context entrepreneurship. It emphasizes sequential processes stimulus, responses, outcomes, shedding light nuanced landscape.
