The mediating role of competitive strategy in international entrepreneurial orientation

The mediating effect of competitive strategy on the relationship between market development, product development and performance of manufacturing based SMEs in Nigeria

“…The PLS-SEM path results revealed that H3 differentiation mediates the relationship between MD and firm performance. The findings supported the study of Hernández-Perlines, et al, (2016). H4 the result indicates that differentiation explained the relationship between PD and firm performance.…”

“…Though very few surveys were found to have established the mediating effect of competitive strategy (Hernández-Perlines, Moreno-García, & Yañez-Araque, 2016;Lechner & Gudmundsson, 2014;Soni & Kodali, 2011). Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the mediating effect of competitive strategy on the relationship between growth strategies and firm performance.…”

Psychological ownership, knowledge sharing and entrepreneurial orientation in family firms: The moderating role of governance heterogeneity

“…We controlled for firm industry, firm size, firm age, and performance. Multiple studies have reported that these variables may determine the abundance of entrepreneurial opportunities (Castro & Roldán, 2015;Chirico & Salvato, 2014;Zahra & Nielsen, 2002;Hernández-Perlines et al, 2016). To control for industry, we differentiated between the primary (agriculture and food), secondary (industry), and tertiary (services) sectors.…”

“…Nonetheless, the key condition to determine such a mediating effect is to test the significance of a1 x b1 (path POKS x path KSPROAC) and a1 x b2 (path POKS x path KSINNO) (Hernández-Perlines et al, 2016). With this objective, we obtain the values for these indirect effects (a1b1=0.128; a1b2=0.142) (Figure 1) from SmartPLS.…”

Researching Entrepreneurship in Family Firms

“…Only a couple of papers studied the effects of entrepreneurship on family firm survival (Wennberg et al ) and on the probability of business failure (Revilla, Pérez‐Luño, and Nieto ). Finally, we identified a group of papers that explored relatively new outcomes of entrepreneurship such as international performance (Hernández‐Perlines, Moreno‐García, and Yañez‐Araque ), new product performance (Kraiczy, Hack, and Kellermanns ), and inclusion of non‐family managers in the TMT (Vandekerkhof et al ). We will now review the papers on entrepreneurship outcomes by distinguishing papers on innovation and innovativeness from those on EO.…”
