Summary: | This conceptual paper reveals the hypothesized link between entrepreneurial network and
small firm performance and the mediating effect of dynamic capabilities on the mentioned relationship. The theoretical grounds of the entrepreneurial network, dynamic capabilities and
small firm performance established this conceptual framework. This paper adopts the Resource Based View (RBV) which claims that firm valuable strategic resources (entrepreneurial network)
and capabilities (dynamic capabilities) both are important to make firm successful. Similarly,
Dynamic Capability View (DCV) support and verify this conceptual framework. It means the
stronger entrepreneurial network will lead to develop dynamic capabilities, which will ultimately cause the higher firm performance. Therefore, this paper incorporates two strategically important variables namely, entrepreneurial network and dynamic capabilities to enhance the small firm performance, whereas RBV suggests that firms make progress on the basis of
resources and capabilities. Entrepreneurial network and dynamic capabilities both are regarded
as the important elements to combat the lower firm performance in current turbulent business
environment. By keeping in view, the theoretical foundations of RBV and DCV, this paper
proposes a conceptual framework in examining the mediating role of dynamic capabilities on the
relationship between entrepreneurial network and small firm performance. |
