“…In SMEs there may be diff erent layers of managers, supervisors, job descriptions, etc., but the distinguishable characteristic of entrepreneurs is that they retain almost total control and remain at the center of the decision-making web, in a unique and powerful position within the fi rm (Goff ee and Scase, 1995; Aaboen et al, 2006). Th e basic role played by the owner/manager/entrepreneur is one of the major determinants of SME competitiveness and performance; this turns out to be so because the concentration of decisionmaking power in the owner/manager in an SME environment consequently aff ects the fi rm's overall strategy.…”

“…In addition, as NTBFs are “new start‐up businesses formed individually or by a group of founding entrepreneurs” (Aaboen, von Koch, and Löfsten , p. 955), which are independent, owner‐managed, small or medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs), and with the characteristic of operating in a high‐tech industry (Storey and Tether ), the technology strategy is one of the most important factors in their performance (Oh, Cho, and Kim ; Van de Vrande, Vanhaverbeke, and Duysters ; Zahra ; Zahra, Nash, and Bickford ). However, empirical studies have found divergent results with respect to the influence of this strategy on performance.…”

This study is based on the configuration approach and argues that the new technology‐based venture's performance depends on how well the entrepreneur's resources allow the chosen technology strategy to be executed, in other words, the fit between the resources and the strategy. The authors study this idea by using a sample of 175 Spanish new technology‐based ventures. The results indicate that the fit between the chosen technology strategy and the entrepreneur's resources explain the firm's performance, when this is measured through foreign market performance. That fit is also related to the technology‐based firm's financial results and generic and domestic performance.

“…Dado lo anterior, el tamaño de la empresa se incluye como variable de control y se mide como el logaritmo natural de los activos totales. (Aaboen et al, 2006;Bin-sariman, Ali, Nazli & Nor, 2016;Cuadrado Ballesteros et al, 2014;Ho & Wu, 2010;Song, Wei, et al, 2015b;Yang & Wang, 2014).…”

El efecto del gobierno corporativo y la propiedad sobre el grado de orientación Universidad & Empresa, Bogotá (Colombia) 20(35): 79-115, julio-diciembre 2018 fueron procesadas por análisis de correlación y regresión múltiple. Los resultados empíricos mostraron que los coeficientes de las variables de concentración y presencia de directores independientes no son significativos; el coeficiente relativo al tamaño de la junta demostró desempeñar un papel importante sobre el grado de orientación al mercado y sobre dos de sus dimensiones internas (orientación al cliente y coordinación interfuncional), lo que sugiere que el efecto marginal del grado de orientación al mercado es mayor cuando el número de directores en el tablero aumenta. Este estudio verifica el papel estratégico de la junta directiva, poniendo en relieve el impacto que este órgano de gestión tiene sobre el desempeño empresarial. Los resultados de esta investigación pretenden servir de base para futuros estudios que den importancia a los aspectos empresariales y organizacionales en la implementación de actividades orientadas al marketing. Palabras clave: Orientación al mercado, gobierno corporativo, junta directiva, estructura de la propiedad. ABSTRACTThis paper aims to determine if corporative governance and property act as determinant factors in the degrees of market orientation in a group of companies in Chile. The sample included data of 101 Chilean companies registered in the Santiago Stock Exchange in 2016. This data was processed by correlation analysis and multiple regression. The empiric results showed that the coefficients of the concentration and presence of independent chief executives variables are not meaningful. The relative coefficient to the size of the board showed that it plays an important role in the degrees of market orientation and on its two internal dimensions (degrees of market orientation and interfunctional coordination). This suggest that the marginal effect of the degrees of market orientation is bigger when the number of chief executives increases. This study verifies the strategic role of the board, highlighting the impact this management organ has on the performance of the company. The results of this research pretend to be a base for future studies that focus on the business and organizational aspects of implemented activities towards marketing.
