PurposeThe purpose of this study was to provide comprehensive overview, and exposure of the correlation between entrepreneurial orientation dimension (EOD) and business innovation environment (BIE) on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) financial performance in the Ghanaian manufacturing SMEs sector that enhances knowledge and contextualization in marketing and entrepreneurship literature.Design/methodology/approachAnchored on resource-based view theory, 520 manufacturing SMEs companies were conveniently drawn from Association of Ghana Industry, through National Board for Small Scale Industries, using structural equation modelling techniques to analyse the hypotheses.FindingsThis study revealed that three entrepreneurial orientation dimensions EOD: risk-taking, innovations and pro-activeness have positive significant impact on financial performance manufacturing of SMEs. BIE also has positive impact on financial performance of manufacturing of SMEs and BIE moderates SMEs financial performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a country-specific manufacturing SMEs sector, which means that the findings cannot be used to justify other SMEs in Ghana and SMEs in different country. However, the study was limited to only three EODs: risk-taking, innovations, pro-activeness and Ghanaian manufacturing BIE of SMEs. More countries and other SMEs are needed to expand the field of research in EODs and BIE.Practical implicationsIt provides an insight into BIE which is important for marketers, entrepreneurs, regulatory bodies, SMEs owners-managers, directors, government and NGO to strengthening and reshaping their BIE in manufacturing SMEs sector policies, conducts and laws.Originality/valueThis paper fills knowledge and contextual gap in entrepreneurship and marketing literature by presenting comprehensive overview of BIE and EOD research that enhances the on-going discussion in the marketing and entrepreneurship manufacturing SMEs context and proposing priorities for future research streams within an emerging economy.

Nowadays, one of the major purposes of any company is to survive in the competitive business markets. This purpose would be achievable through improving and developing growth in most cases. Prior studies suggest that leadership is a vitally important factor in achieving growth in any company. Some researchers studied leadership topics as one of the significant motivations for developing and improving the growth of a company and agreed that understanding the role of leadership and its effect on the growth of the company is influential. In all countries, Information Communication Technology (ICT) companies are recognized as significant growth drivers by leaving considerable impacts on that. According to the literature, growth is a determining factor for the productivity of any company. Based on the literature of the ICTs, weak and insufficient leadership skills are considered as the main factors that cause failure in achieving the planned growth and development of ICT. Consequently, the goal of this study is to clarify how leadership affects the development of ICT enterprises.

“… Gupta and Dutta (2018) and Covin and Wales (2019) expanded the earlier definitions of entrepreneurial orientation by stating that despite having the same dimensions as stated by Cho and Lee (2018) such as innovativeness, pro-activeness, and risk-taking, entrepreneurial orientation also affects an organization’s processes, structures, and behaviors as demonstrated via its products and process innovations ( Rochdi et al, 2017 ). The processes, practices, philosophical methods, styles, and decision-making activities of an organization, in turn, facilitate its entrepreneurial activities ( Ali et al, 2017 ; Arham et al, 2017 ; Hartanto et al, 2017 ; Arshad and Rasli, 2018 ; Morgan and Anokhin, 2020 ). Additionally, to take advantage of the prevailing competitive environment, the organization may identify and launch corporate ventures while embracing an entrepreneurial mindset ( Hossain and Asheq, 2019 ).…”

“…Adam et al (2018) asserted the importance of entrepreneurial orientation in ensuring the survivability of organizations in the ever-changing marketplace ( Maity et al, 2020 ). Numerous studies have explored the effects of entrepreneurial orientation on organizational performance ( Hartanto et al, 2017 ; Arshad and Rasli, 2018 ). Yet, very few had investigated the effect of employees’ entrepreneurial orientation in the context of the manufacturing sector ( Baskaran, 2017 ; Evansluong et al, 2019 ).…”

PurposeThe study aims to investigate the impact of organizational characteristics and knowledge process capabilities on the entrepreneurial orientation among the manufacturing industry employees in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Additionally, this study has examined the mediating role of knowledge process capabilities in the relationship between organizational characteristics and entrepreneurial orientation among those employees and the moderating effect of psychological factors on the relationship between organizational characteristics and entrepreneurial orientation.Design, methodology, and approachThe study has employed the survey-based methodology and data are collected with the aid of self-administered questionnaires. This study utilized the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to establish the validity and reliability of the measurement model and test the relationships. The response rate of the current study is 64.66%.FindingsThe study findings have shown mixed results as one of the organizational characteristics, namely, resource and time availability is an insignificant determinate of entrepreneurial orientation among the manufacturing industry employees in Punjab province of Pakistan. Whereas management support, rewards, work discretion, and knowledge process capabilities appear as significant determinates of employees’ entrepreneurial orientation. The results indicated that knowledge process capabilities have a mediating role in the relationship between organizational characteristics and employees’ entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, psychological factors, namely, propensity to take risk and locus of control have a significant moderating role on the relationship of management support, rewards, and work discretion with employees’ entrepreneurial orientation.Practical implicationsThe empirical insights on the study are valuable for policymakers and managers in manufacturing sectors of developing countries, such as Pakistan, to enrich their work performance through the understanding impact of organizational characteristics and knowledge process capabilities on the entrepreneurial orientation with moderating role of psychological factors.Originality and valueStudies on the mediating impact of knowledge process capabilities on the linkage between organizational characteristics and entrepreneurial orientation with the moderating role of psychological factors remain limited. This study is one of the earliest studies that investigate these inter-relationships.
