description |
The importance of entrepreneurial orientation (EO), resource-based view (RBV), network
types of social capital (SC) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have become the
main focus in the manufacturing environment. In view of the highly competitive
manufacturing environment, the ability and reliability of small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) is very important in order to achieve desired SMEs performance namely growthprofitability.
In addition to that, literature argues that further research is required in the
area of entrepreneurship and firm performance. In order to address this need, the study
investigates 1. The relationship between EO and Manufacturing SMEs performance and
2. The moderating effect of intra- and extra-industry network in EO and manufacturing
SMEs performance relationship. Quantitative method was done through survey.
Instrumentation of data-gathering in quantitative method was done through
questionnaires and its validity was measured by content validity. The population of this
study was industrial SMEs in Tehran and Hamedan. Proportionate stratified random
sampling was employed and out of 351 questionnaires sent out, only 150 questionnaires
were returned, yielding a return rate of 25 percent. A model is hypothesized and analyzed
by multiple regressions. The result implies that EO positively improved manufacturing
SMEs performance. |
