“…In this regard, training policies should be oriented to organizational and strategic management (Anand et al, 2006). Transformational-leadership learning is especially needed in the case of the owner-manager to determine the company’s organizational structure and strategy (Jardon et al, 2007).…”

“…Owner-managers often have little formal education (London et al, 2010), and their decisions are based on intuition, personal experience, and business sentiment (Jardon & Susana Martos, 2012). Given this lack of training, they have little market orientation (Jardon et al, 2007) and have difficulty evaluating the costs of products (London et al, 2010). In addition, they are inclined to be individualists, not participating in associations, and limiting their cooperation with competitors.…”

Small businesses are vital in developing countries. Usually, the marketplaces in the most impoverished areas are subsistence marketplaces, and small businesses are frequently created as the only form of subsistence for the entrepreneur and their family. These businesses working in subsistence marketplaces have distinct marketing needs. These businesses may require leadership to use their marketing capabilities to be competitive. This paper analyzes the mediation of marketing capabilities and leadership as sources of competitive advantage in subsistence small businesses using a partial least square technique and timber industry data from a region in Argentina. This paper confirms that transformational leadership and marketing capabilities are a source of competitive advantage in subsistence small businesses. In particular, leaders use marketing capabilities to generate a competitive advantage.

“…Trust affects the performance of companies (Brunetto & Farr-Wharton, 2007) and the generation of dynamic capabilities (Real et al, 2006;Tallott & Hilliard, 2016). However, this effect in SSTBs has not received attention from researchers, as their small size, the opportunism in relations (Chung, 2012), and the tendency towards self-interest in the Latin-America timber industries (Jardon et al, 2007) can hinder the effectiveness of trust. Jeng and Pak (2016) study the moderating effect of external elements, such as the competitiveness of the industry on marketing and innovation capabilities.…”

Subsistence markets are characterized by being composed of economic agents with low levels of education, marketing and management skills, and income. There are common in developing countries. Promote entrepreneurship in these markets is a strategy to reduce poverty, contributing to sustainable development goals. Small‐scale timber businesses (SSTB) in Misiones (Argentine) work in these markets. Innovation and marketing capabilities in SSTB are important factors in the growth of such businesses. Internal trust is a potential factor that could increase the effect of these capabilities, possibly limited by opportunism. This paper analyses marketing and innovation capabilities in SSTB, examining the possible moderating effect of trust (or opportunism) in the process of generating performance from these capabilities, using partial least squares with data of timber businesses in Misiones (Argentine). The findings indicate that SSTB present innovation and marketing capabilities that generate competitiveness, but the interactive influence of trust on the impact of these capabilities on performance is either neglected or negative, suggesting certain opportunism.

PurposeThere are different models to measure the effect of intellectual capital on firm performance. These models depend on different dimensions of intellectual capital, the interrelations between them and the effects on performance. It is important to analyze several specificities in small and medium sized enterprises (SME) in developing countries. This paper aims to test diverse models to verify the previously mentioned relations applied to wood manufacturer SMEs of Oberá (Argentina).Design/methodology/approachA global model including the variables used in the previous literature is used. The paper establishes hypotheses for testing this model and us PLS technique to estimate the parameters of the model in a sample of 113 wood manufacturer SMEs in Oberá (Argentina).FindingsThe only dimension of intellectual capital directly affecting performance is structural capital. The other dimensions exert an indirect effect through structural capital.Research limitations/implicationsThe model does not use all the possible variables to characterize intellectual capital. The causality elements cannot be verified in a temporary horizon because the data are cross‐sectional. In addition, when making reference to data of a particular period of time, there may be causes that imply relations of accidental type. Moreover, the measures used were subjective. This paper only studies the SMEs of the Argentine wood industry.Practical implicationsThe paper offers several suggestions to implement strategies for local SMEs and to support aid to projects for developing countries.Originality/valueThe paper tests different models to analyze the impact of dimensions of intellectual capital on performance in SMEs of developing countries and provides information on the wood manufacturer SMEs in Argentina.
