A resource-based perspective on the dynamic strategy-performance relationship: An empirical examination of the focus and differentiation strategies in
从资源基础观出发，用创业软件公司的长期数据，检验了聚焦和差异化策略对企业绩效的动态影响，发现建立这些策略能提升绩效，但未发现采用时绩效下降的证据。
This research applies a resource-based perspective, which emphasizes a firm's specialized or unique resources, to the question of how the focus and differentiation strategies affect the economic performance of entrepreneurial firms. We develop dynamic models that separate the period of creating or acquiring these resources from subsequent periods. With longitudinal data on entrepreneurial software firms, we examine the dynamic effects of multiple forms of these strategies on a firm's performance. The results generally support the hypotheses that, when the focus and differentiation strategies are established, performance is higher than for other firms. The results fail to support the hypothesis that firm performance will decrease when these strategies are adopted.
