Entrepreneurship is a dynamic and opening process in nature, the research of entrepreneurial performance in different countries shows the regional diversities. Which means the process of entrepreneurship is a process that entrepreneur, been affected by entrepreneurial environment, to act, adopt, and improve the environment. So, entrepreneurial environment is a key factor in the process of entrepreneurship. Some scholars believe that entrepreneurship is a reaction to environmental variable, thoses variable may determine the success of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial environment can influence entrepreneurship along the whole process, even in the planning stage. The combination of entrepreneur and entrepreneurial environment decides the different types of entrepreneurial activities, so that the entrepreneurial performance.

Entrepreneurial orientation describes how enterprises run, and reflects the enterprise's strategy, not only the new enterprises, but also enterprise entrepreneurship of established enterprises. Theoretical and practical research findings of entrepreneurship and strategic management show us that entrepreneurial orientation can significantly influence entrepreneurial performance of new enterprises and established enterprises.So, entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurial orientation can both influence entrepreneurial performance, but the two processes were not separately. When entrepreneurial performance is affected by entrepreneurial environment, entrepreneurial orientation is also affected by entrepreneurial environment, so entrepreneurial environment can determine entrepreneurial performance by affecting entrepreneurial orientation.From the analysis above, we can see that entrepreneurial performance affected by entrepreneurial environment most. But some research conclusions show different directions that entrepreneurial performance affected by entrepreneurial environment. The planned economy in the past and the market economy currently shaped the characters of northeast china's economy.
