“…Market orientation has been theorized to have a significant and positive effect on performance (Hussain, Syah, & Akhtar, 2016;Hidayat, Suryana, Afif, & Cahyandito, 2016;Long, Kara, & Spillan, 2016;Rodriguez & Morant, 2016;Zainul, Astuti, & Arifin, 2016;Njeru & Kibera, 2014). On the other hand, the results of other studies on how market orientation influences performance are not so conclusive, suggesting that market orientation does not directly influence firm performance but rather impacts performance via other mediating variables (Sin et al 2005;Singh, 2009).…”

This study examines the empirical link between three dimensions of market orientation, namely, student orientation, competitor orientation and inter-functional coordination, and overall private university performance in Kopertis X. It was based on an empirical investigation of private universities located in Indonesia's provinces of West Sumatera, Riau, Jambi, and Kepulauan Riau. The primary data for the study were collected from a self-administered mail survey of 237 questionnaires from the private university resulting in a sample of 114 usable responses being returned. From the application of the multiple regression analysis it was concluded that all three dimensions of market orientation had a significant impact on private university performance. Student orientation as a predictor variable is the strongest predictor of private university performance and followed by competitor orientation, and inter-functional coordination.

“…As indicated by Zellweger and Sieger (17), innovation can be conveyed into two particular classes, which is internal and external innovation. Internal innovation concentrates on innovative changes and value creation in the organisations, while, external innovation brings about the improvement of new products or services or processes (18).

Similarly, if entrepreneurs do not spend time thinking about the business to be taken in developing the firm, the entrepreneur will feel comfortable with the current situation and will try not to take the risk (22).…”

This paper intended to develop the concept of firm success among Muslim SMEs in Malaysia. The researchers used entrepreneurial orientation multidimensional as independent variable (innovative, risk and proactive) to examine the relationship of these dimensions towards the success of Muslim SMEs by using Islamic religion practices as moderator. It is about developing the concept of Islamic success factors, as the failure of Muslim SMEs is alarming and the empirical references to Muslim SMEs success focusing on Islamic religion practices are limited. There were many attempts to connect entrepreneurial orientation to the Resource-Based View theory of firms. Resource-Based View, as underpinning theory, helps to describe the proposed research theoretical framework. Recent studies related to firm success have shown that entrepreneurial orientation is composed of innovation, risk and proactive having significant relationship with the firm success in the develop countries. However in Malaysia, there was only one study has documented the conceptual religiosity that influence relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business success of entrepreneurs among the Malay community. The methodology for this study uses quantitative analysis, specifically, the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) in processing the data. The population of the study is 2,286 PUNB (Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad) firms in Malaysia. Finally, this concept finding is able to facilitate future research proposals and to fill the knowledge gap in Resource-Based View concerning the relationship of Resource-Based View towards firm success. This study also contributed to the Resource-Based View literature on the perspective of Islamic religion practices as moderator.
