Explaining SME engagement in local sourcing: The roles of location-specific resources and patriotism
基于注意力基础观，研究小企业关键决策者的个人资源（区位特定人力与社会资本）和爱国主义如何影响本地采购决策，利用204家安大略省餐厅采购本地葡萄酒的数据进行实证。
This article draws upon the attention-based view when investigating how local sourcing is influenced by the personal resources and values of key decision makers within small firms. We argue that such firms are more likely to engage in local sourcing when key decision makers have access to location-specific human and social capital and strongly identify with their country. Using data from 204 Ontario-based restaurants regarding their decision to source local wines, we find evidence for the enabling role of location-specific resources and patriotism. In addition, we find that patriotism invigorates the effect of location-specific social capital such that local sourcing is stronger when key decision makers exhibit higher levels of patriotism.
