- Entrepreneurial orientation pathways to performance: A fuzzy-set analysisPublication . Lisboa, Ana; Skarmeas, Dionysis; Saridakis, CharalamposMost prior research on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) aggregates its features into a gestalt construct to investigate its influence on firm performance. This study deconstructs EO into innovativeness, proactiveness, and risktaking dimensions and focuses on the causalmechanisms bywhich those factors collectively affect performance. By drawing on the resource-based view of the firm and its dynamic capabilities extension, the study identifies multiple paths of complex causal recipes that can lead to certain organizational capabilities, competitive advantages, and performance. To do that, the study uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), a technique that provides a holistic view of the examined interrelationships, compared to traditional net effect approaches that assumesymmetric and linear relationships among variables. The study provides key conclusions and insightful implications for managers and researchers.
- Entrepreneurial orientation, exploitative and explorative capabilities, and performance outcomes in export markets: A resource-based approachPublication . Lisboa, Ana; Skarmeas, Dionysis; Lages, CarmenInnovation is critical to the growth and success of a firm. In an attempt to renew themselves and compete effectively in the global marketplace, firms must possess both technical and non-technical capabilities. Yet, the extant literature has mainly focused on technology and product development capabilities, disregarding other possible capability domains. This study investigates the role of market-related exploitative and explorative capabilities, together with product development ones, in the context of exporting. Drawing on the resource-based and organization learning theories, we examine the internal process through which entrepreneurial orientation influences performance in export markets and develop a model of entrepreneurial orientation–exploitative and explorative capabilities–advantage–performance relationships. The results indicate that entrepreneurial orientation is a precursor of exploitative and explorative product development and overseas market-related capabilities. The findings also suggest that product development explorative capabilities and overseas market-related exploitative capabilities have a positive effect on new product differentiation, which in turn enhances market effectiveness. Implications for scholars and practitioners are discussed along with suggestions for future research.
- Export performance as a function of market learning capabilities and intrapreneurship: SEM and FsQCA findingsPublication . Skarmeas, Dionysis; Lisboa, Ana; Saridakis, CharalamposThis study draws on the resource-based, dynamic capabilities, and organization learning theories to investigate the internal mechanisms through which intrapreneurship influences current and future export performance. Specifically, this approach views the four distinct dimensions of intrapreneurship, namely new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal, and proactiveness, as critical resources, and export market exploitation and exploration as important market learning capabilities. The study posits that such resources and capabilities collectively contribute to improve export performance outcomes. The study develops a theoretically anchored model and employs both structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to test the model relationships. These two techniques have different foci: the net effect of an independent variable on an outcome variable and the conditions that lead to a given outcome, respectively. The study results provide substantial support for the theoretical framework and a valuable addition to the scant literature on the roles of intrapreneurship and market exploitation and exploration in exporting.
- Innovative capabilities: Their drivers and effects on current and future performancePublication . Lisboa, Ana; Skarmeas, Dionysis; Lages, CarmenThis study investigates the role of a firm's orientation, both customer and competitor, in driving innovative capabilities and the impact of those capabilities on a firm's current and future performance. The study's contribution is threefold in that it (1) examines market-related exploitative and explorative capabilities in conjunction with product development exploitative and explorative capabilities in terms of their strategic drivers (firm orientation) and performance outcomes; (2) disentangles the effects of exploitative and explorative capabilities on current and future performance; and (3) examines the role of innovative capabilities within the particularly relevant, but understudied, context of exporting. The findings suggest that, although customer orientation relates to both exploitative and explorative capabilities, competitor orientation relates only to exploitative capabilities. Exploitative capabilities affect current performance, whereas explorative capabilities affect future performance. These findings are of crucial relevance to export managers in their quest to identify, extend, and create new market opportunities.
