This study aims to examine the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, information technology, innovation capability, competitive advantage, and organizational performance through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review was conducted using scholarly articles published over the last five years and indexed in Google Scholar. The research process involved the identification, selection, evaluation, and synthesis of relevant literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationships among the studied variables. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial orientation enhances organizational capacity to be innovative, proactive, and adaptive to changing business environments. Information technology contributes to operational efficiency, decision-making quality, and value creation within organizations. Meanwhile, innovation capability serves as a critical factor in generating differentiation and strengthening competitiveness. The results also reveal that competitive advantage functions as a mechanism linking strategic organizational capabilities to improved organizational performance. This study contributes to the strategic management literature and offers practical implications for organizations in developing strategies focused on competitive advantage and sustainable performance.
