Knowledge‐based resources, entrepreneurial orientation, and the performance of small and medium‐sized businesses
研究发现知识型资源（用于发现和利用机会）与中小企业绩效正相关，且创业导向会增强这一关系，对理解资源与组织方式的互动有贡献。
Abstract While theory suggests that management has discretion in manipulating resources in order to build competitive advantage, resource‐based research has focused on the characteristics of resources, paying less attention to the relationship between those resources and the way firms are organized. In explaining performance, entrepreneurship scholars have focused on a firm's entrepreneurial strategic orientation (EO), leaving its interrelationship with internal characteristics aside. We argue that EO captures an important aspect of the way a firm is organized. Our findings suggest that knowledge‐based resources (applicable to discovery and exploitation of opportunities) are positively related to firm performance and that EO enhances this relationship.
