“…Higher level of competitive strategy of new ventures positively affects their performance. In contrast, lack of competitive strategy leads to negative performance and can subsequently threaten the survival and success of newly established ventures (Kakati and Dhar, 2002). Bapat and Mazumdar (2015) believe that firms which follow both competitive strategies gain higher profitability and success over those firms who do not have any formal competitive strategy.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of different types of networking, namely, business networking, financial networking and political networking, on the performance of new ventures and the extent to which competitive advantage influences the process. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using sample size of 319 newly established ventures in Pakistan – an emerging economy. The hypotheses were tested with structural equation modeling by using AMOS 21. Findings Results of the study indicate that business networking, financial networking and political networking significantly and positively contribute to new ventures performance and competitive advantage. Results also show that competitive advantage is a strong mediator between financial networking and new venture performance, as well as between business networking and new venture performance, respectively. However, in case of relationship between political networking and new venture performance, competitive advantage plays only a partial mediating role. Practical implications The study suggests that the owners and managers of new ventures should devote considerable efforts to developing all the three types of networks; in particular these networks are important for newly established ventures operating in emerging markets to access resources and to enhance performance. Originality/value Extensive review of available literature indicates that this is the first paper to assess the impact of networking on new ventures’ performance with a mediating role of competitive advantage. This study contributes to the existing literature through empirical evidence.

“…The alpha reliability coefficients for F 1 (0.936), F 2 (0.838), F 4 (0.861) and F 5 (0.788) were higher than the criterion of 0.77 obtained by Gordon and Narayanan (1984) indicating high consistency. F 3 (0.699) and F 6 (0.638) were also seen at a minimum acceptable level of 0.50 as recommended by Kakati and Dhar (2002) thereby obtaining satisfactory internal consistency (Table 1).…”

Cooperation is an association of business partners, formed to assist each other in both good and bad times and is regarded as the apex silent body that assists the partners in dealing with contemporary business issues. This article explores the implications of cooperation among 44 owners/managers of small-scale industries (SSIs), 74 wholesalers and 120 retailers in the district of Udhampur in the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). A primary survey was conducted to gather data which, after being properly sanitized, were validated through factor analysis. The data, thereafter, were analyzed using multivariate tools for drawing meaningful conclusions. The results of hierarchal regression model and analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that cooperation enhances effectiveness and efficiency, promotes shared goals and values, promotes honesty and openness and endorses acquiescence between business parties in order to enhance business relationships. Further, it was observed that managers with different qualifications significantly differ with regard to formulating sturdy cooperative business relationships, whereas managers with different work experience do not differ significantly with regard to cooperative relations. The study reveals that cooperation in business leads to business growth and profitability.

The research framework and hypotheses were examined by the empirical analysis of primary data collected from 44 functional manufacturing units sub-divided into ten lines of operation in district Udhampur, in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). Validity and reliability of the scales in the construct were assessed through Bartlett’s Test of Sphercity (BTS) and Cronbach-alpha test. The results of regression model and analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that proper inventory management leads to economy and efficiency, nurtures competitive ability and paves way for cost reduction. Further results divulged that managers of different age group don’t significantly differ with regard to inventory control techniques. To promote inventory management, integrated strategic planning encompassing logistics, promotional-mix, technological capabilities and industrial promotion campaigns by government are needed.
