“…As a precaution, common method response bias was controlled for by ensuring that the questions relating to the dependent variables were located away from the independent and moderator variables in the instrument. Moreover, with the a priori inclusion of compelling theory where, in some instances, there is already evidence for discriminant and convergent validity of measures [8].Where the performance indicators have been shown to have acceptable criterion-related validity using a range of both categorical and continuous criterion variables [41], only the reliability of these scales was tested for this sample of respondents. Furthermore, in terms of the ratio of respondents to the number of questionnaire items used in the survey, it was deemed insufficient to test the factor structure of these scales [22].…”

“…Ces résultats sont en partie contradictoires avec les résultats de Nicholls-Nixon (2005) qui montrent que la combinaison FC et rentabilité est loin d' être systématique et les conclusions de Davidsson (2005) qui observe que la FC entraîne plutôt (trois ans plus tard) des niveaux de performance inférieurs à la moyenne. On peut expliquer, à l'instar de Steffens et al,(2009), la pérennité de cette rentabilité au regard de l'âge et de la taille des entreprises à FC continue qui sont ici globalement plus jeunes et plus petites que les FC discontinues. Mais plusieurs auteurs ajoutent également à leur analyse l' objectif initial poursuivi par les dirigeants et montrent qu'indépendamment de l'âge et de la taille, le lien entre la croissance et cette performance dépend des objectifs initiaux et de la volonté des dirigeants (Stevenson et Jarillo, 1990 ;Brown et al, 2001 ;Julien et al, 2006).…”

“…Les objectifs formulés par les dirigeants sont eux-mêmes, d'abord, plus ou moins exclusivement orientés vers l'un ou l'autre. En effet, de nombreux auteurs s'accordent à dire que les entreprises qui recherchent la croissance ne recherchent pas systématiquement la rentabilité (Stevenson et Jarillo, 1990 ;Brown, Davidsson et Wiklund, 2001 ;Ambroise et al, 2011), alors qu'une croissance profitable est une condition nécessaire à une croissance forte et rentable sur la durée (Davidsson, Steffens et Fitzimmons, 2009 ;Steffens, Davidsson et Fitzsimmons, 2009 …”

“…Emerging economies provide SMEs with significant scale or first-mover advantages where experience effects and network externalities are important to building a dominant position for themselves (Lieberman and Montgomery, 1988). In emerging markets, an initial strategy focusing on growth rather than on profitability is more important in gaining a substantial market share (Katz and Shapiro, 1985;Steffens et al, 2009). In an emerging country such as Turkey, where more and more SMEs focus on innovation (Cetindamar and Ulusoy, 2008), large investments are needed, which will reduce the immediate profitability of the firm, while a focus on market growth is likely to provide higher profits (Steffens et al, 2009).…”

Hence, we argue that having an innovation-based strategy may not translate into large profit margins.…”
