ABSTRACT:We identify organizational culture and assess the relationship between organizational culture, management control systems (MCS) use and their effects on performance. With this purpose, we carry out an empirical analysis on a sample of 89 young SMEs. Results show that young firms' predominant culture is clan, whereas adhocratic culture is less relevant. Additionally, we found some evidence that the innovative culture (mix of clan and adhocratic culture) and the use of MCS have positive effect on firm performance.

“…Finding within this variable, a positive influence in relation to innovative behaviour, coinciding with Hsueh and Tu (2004) reported that entrepreneurs follow in the footsteps of others, but are constantly innovating and this innovation is reflected in performance. Meanwhile Uc et al (2008) found that the strongest impact of the activity of innovation is in sales growth, i.e.…”

“…Encontrando en esta variable una influencia positiva en relación al comportamiento innovador, coincidiendo con Hsueh y Tu (2004), refieren que los emprendedores siguen los pasos de los demás, sino que continuamente Regards technical assistance, in protected agriculture is an essential element because it represents producers with capacities and different from the characteristics of producers who work traditionally mainly due skill, the high level of expertise and training in crop management. This situation may worsen depending on the technological level of emissions, something that requires the proper training of those responsible for its management and administration for their success (Moreno et al, 2011).…”

Este estudio presenta un marco de análisis sobre los factores que inciden en la toma de decisiones de productores de jitomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) en invernadero, en materia de adopción de innovaciones y proporciona información valiosa para su estudio y gestión. Como hipótesis se plantea que la adopción de una innovación depende de factores o atributos diversos, tanto del productor como de sus unidades de producción, como son edad, escolaridad, experiencia en la actividad, escala de producción, superf icie de producción, rendimiento, confianza y asesoría técnica. En este documento se identifican los elementos que explican la innovación en la producción de jitomate en agricultura protegida de tecnología intermedia y se construye un modelo lineal para explicar el efecto de cada factor explicativo sobre la innovación. Se aplicó un cuestionario semiestructurado a 59 productores de igual número de empresas ubicadas en la región de Tulancingo, estado de Hidalgo. Con la información generada se construyó un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple. Los resultados mostraron la inf luencia positiva de las variables confianza, asesoría técnica, tamaño y rendimiento. En el modelo de referencia utilizado se concluye que la innovación es un factor que se encuentra estrechamente relacionado con la difusión de conocimientos y con la confianza existente entre los diversos actores que forman parte del sistema productivo.

“…Diminishing and negative performance returns from increased innovation breadth therefore compels SMEs to adopt moderate levels of innovation breadth. Finding an inverted U-shape relationship between innovation breadth and performance therefore challenged conceptions of a simplistic, positive linear relationship between innovation and SME performance (Bhaskaran, 2006;Hsueh & Tu, 2004;Morone & Testa, 2008).

SME performance: the role of networking, innovation breadth, and business model design

Because small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal to the health and vibrancy of economies, it is crucial for researchers to understand the factors that significantly underlie SME performance. Two of the most widely identified antecedents to SME performance are innovation and networking. However, despite widespread attention, the theoretical and empirical status of the relationships between innovation, networks and SME performance remain uncertain. Some researchers note that claims regarding a direct positive relationship between innovation and networks with performance fail to adequately account for the variables that mediate this relationship.In contrast, while much research has been undertaken into the performance benefits of innovation and networks, the exponential increase in the number of publications heralding the performance benefits of business model design and business model innovation received very scant empirical support, almost non-existent for SMEs. Business model design is seen as a powerful mechanism for unlocking and enhancing the value of business processes, including innovation.Empirical evidence presented in this thesis tangibly supports this assertion and thus creates a more solid foundation for future development of the business model view of the firm.The purpose of this thesis, comprising four studies, is to theorise and research the nature of the relationship between innovation breadth, networks and business model design with SME performance. The central research question of this thesis asks: How do innovation breadth, networks and business model design relate to SME performance?Study One systematically reviews a large sample of SME growth and performance literature to identify and interpret emergent concepts, themes, trends and gaps. Study One backgrounds the three empirical studies that that follow to argue, using Resource-Based Theory, that the resources required for developing competitive advantage are both physical and intangible; of the two, intangible resources have the greatest strategic potential. In other words, the thesis finds that SMEs lacking physical resources could develop more sustainable competitive advantage by relying more heavily on leveraging path dependent, socially complex, and causally ambiguous intangible resources. Social capital and technological competence, associated with networks and innovation, represent highly desired intangible resources. Business model design organises these resources to create value for the customer. Therefore, innovation across the elements of the business model when designing or reconfiguring the SME's business model acts as dynamic capabilities that enhance SME performance.iii The systematic literature review is followed by three empirical studies that use longitudinal and cross-sectional datasets of Australian SMEs. Study Two introduces the concept of innovation breadth, as the number of distinct types of innovation that firms use, or their innovation diversity, and examines the linearity and temporality of its re...
