“…This approach enables the investigation of firm-based activities from several aspects, such as the market, technology, and entrepreneurial orientation (Hakala 2011). Moreover, in previous studies, SO has already been found to support opportunity recognition (Kakapour et al 2016), the emergence of radical innovations (Kocak et al 2017) and the use of innovation-based strategies as competitive advantage (Knight and Cavusgil 2004) of SMEs. Additionally, in doing so, this study can offer novel and significant perspectives for SO literature as more knowledge is required regarding the influence of prior experience on strategic orientation dimensions (Presutti and Odorici 2018).…”

This article conducts an in-depth investigation of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition in an international new venture (INV) during the time period before the organizational emergence. While doing so, the study applies a strategic orientation (SO) approach that seems to provide the possibility of observing firm activities from multiple perspectives. A qualitative and interpretive method is used for this purpose. The findings of this study support the notion that the phase before organizational emergence is a significant period for entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. Additionally, this study illustrates the reason and processes involved are the same. Firstly, the findings indicate that the initial opportunity recognition and the development throughout this phase rely on the entrepreneurial orientation of the individuals. Moreover, entrepreneurial opportunity results from informationseeking behavior regarding ways to respond to demand. Such a process seems to require a reconciliation of technological and commercial knowledge domains. Secondly, the findings indicate that the context has a distinct role in the opportunity recognition process. In this study, the support of the parent corporation, particularly, seemed to have a significant impact on the initial discovery and subsequent development of entrepreneurial opportunity. Resumen Este artículo realiza una investigación en profundidad del reconocimiento de oportunidades emprendedoras en una nueva empresa internacional (NEI) durante el período de tiempo anterior al surgimiento de dicha organización. En base a ello, el estudio aplica un enfoque de orientación estratégica (OE), que ofrece la posibilidad de observar las actividades empresariales desde múltiples perspectivas. Con este propósito, se utiliza un método cualitativo e interpretativo. Los resultados de este estudio apoyan generalmente la idea de que la fase anterior al surgimiento de la organización es un período altamente significativo para el reconocimiento de oportunidades emprendedoras. Adicionalmente, también se busca ilustrar no sólo la razón, sino también los procesos involucrados en dicho reconocimiento. En primer lugar, los resultados indican que el reconocimiento inicial de la oportunidad y el desarrollo a lo largo de esta fase dependen de la orientación emprendedora del individuo/s. Además, la oportunidad emprendedora constituye el resultado del comportamiento de búsqueda de información con respecto a las formas de responder a la demanda. Dicho proceso parece requerir, además, una cierta conciliación de diversos dominios de conocimiento, tanto a nivel tecnológico como comercial. En

Extant research on learning orientation (LO) has primarily examined the effects of LO on organizational-level performance from a management perspective. Meanwhile, the black box relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and individual outcomes has not been fully explored. The current study examines the cross-level relationship between perceived unit-level LO and individual-level performance and investigates the moderation effect of LO in the HPWSindividual performance relationship. With a participant sample of 1887 individuals from 74 work-units in the banking industry in China, a cross-level model was tested using hierarchical linear modeling. Work-unit-level LO was found to have significant impact on individual performance and positively moderate the relationship between HPWS and individual performance. The implications of these findings and the research limitations were also discussed.Key points 1 Work-unit-level learning orientation (LO) is positively related to individual-level performance. 2 Work-unit-level LO moderates the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and individual performance in a positive way. 3 Higher-level LO and HPWS are both important to individual performance.In order to survive in the uncertain and changing global markets, organizations need to develop learning strategies for gaining a competitive advantage (Crossan, Maurer and
