“…Some of the research found that EO has positive effect and significant on organizational performance (Lee, Lim, & Pathak, 2011;Lumpkin & Dess, 1996;Wang, 2008;Wiklund & Shepherd, 2003), however on the other hand, some of them did not find a positive relationship between EO and organizational performance (Li, Zhang, & Chan, 2005;Smart & Conant, 1994), or negative impact on performance (Hart, 1992). The inclusiveness in results about the EO-organizational performance relationship, lead us to examine this relationship.…”

“…The relationship between EO and organizational performance has been studied by many writers. However, some of them reported that EO has a positive relationship with organizational performance (Jogaratnam & Tse, 2006;Lee, Lim, & Pathak, 2011), others found an adverse result (Li, Zhang, & Chan, 2005;Smart & Conant, 1994). Therefore, the previous conflicting results require further studies and investigation to explore the reasons behind this conflicting and what mechanism can explain the relationship better to have positive results.…”

Purpose: This study was set up to examine the mediating role of ERP system on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance.Design/methodology/approach: To examine the hypothesized model developed for this study, the survey quantitative research design was employed. For that, the data were collected from Dubai police departments. Out of 150 questionnaires distributed, 111 usable questionnaires were returned. Employing the partial least squares structural equation modeling for data analysis.Findings: Based on the statistical results, the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and enterprise resource planning on organizational performance were confirmed. In addition, ERP was found to partially mediate the effect of EO on organizational performance. Further details and valuable implications of this study were discussed throughout the study. Practical implications:The results of this study have many practical implications. The results will help managers to take the proper decision when deciding to implement ERP system in their organizations. The ERP can help managers with strong EO to achieve the maximum performance in organizations and to remain competitive in the market. Originality/value:This study is considered one of the very few empirical studies that examine the effect of EO on ERP and the mediating effect of ERP on the EO-performance relationship.

The transformation of a traditional research university into an entrepreneurial university is increasing due to the reduction or limitation in the university funding from public sources and the emergence of a competitive market for education and research. Entrepreneurial universities play an important role as both knowledge-producer and as disseminating institutions. The aim of this paper is represented by contribution to a better understanding the most critical factors that conditioned the development of entrepreneurial universities, as hubs of creativity, with the teaching, research and entrepreneurial missions. This paper provides evidence based on survey data for a sample of Romanian investigators in engineering sciences. A multivariate regression analyses were used to test our hypotheses by research field. We obtain statistical evidence indicating that our hypotheses have supported. The results of this research show that the most critical factors identified were attitudes towards entrepreneurship from academics and students. In addition, our findings suggest that some universities seek to improve the university-industry cooperation as a means to obtain additional income and learning from industry.

“…The incubator can assemble and integrate knowledge and resources from networks and combine these with coaching for incubatees (Hughes et al, 2007;Peters, Rice, & Sundararajan, 2004). Training can improve incubatee entrepreneurial orientation and should focus on dimensions that are weakest in that country to maximise the opportunities for success in venture creation (Lee, Lim, & Pathak, 2011). Culture-specific challenges can guide formulation of specific curricula items supported by external resources; tailored training may be particularly necessary in regions, such as China, where Confucianism is a dominant part of the culture (Lee et al, 2011).…”

“…Future research should seek a larger sample size to increase the statistical generalisability of the results. The survey data were gathered during a training event in China.The population being sampled from is, therefore, Chinese incubators; generalisation beyond this sample should be conducted with caution as the population of incubators around the world may have different parameters to the population of Chinese incubators, particular as there are presence of different cultures will impact on entrepreneurialism (Lee et al, 2011;Sommer & Haug, 2011). There is also the potential for self-selection bias, as all attendees at the event may share characteristics which affected their responses.…”

This research analyses the relationships between resources and capabilities in IntroductionThe resource-based view of business (RBV) has been widely adopted over the past few decades to explain competitiveness and heterogeneity in the field of management (Foss & Ishikawa, 2007). The use of this perspective has largely been confined to firms operating in non-service industries, with an early influential application of RBV to services by Bharadwaj, Varadarajan, and Fahy (1993) to understand competitive advantage in service industries. The application of the RBV specifically to services, with intangible outputs and high customer involvement, has been limited and we seek to make a contribution in this area. Under consideration in the present research is the 'business incubator' which provides a service the fledgling firms by providing assistance and support to accelerate client growth (Sung, Gibson, & Kang, 2003). Success requires careful application of the possessed resources, the expansion of capabilities, and interactions within the incubator and also in the wider business network. There is a paucity of research on the use and role of resources and capabilities in incubators and how the possessed resources and capabilities impact on the service performance. Entrepreneurism is increasingly important in China, generating greater interest inThis is an electronic version of an article published as: Lin, D., .

The article is available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10. 1080/02642069.2011.582498 incubator services . As government policy is frequently used as a tool to direct developments (Chen, 2006) it is necessary to understand whether benefits from government policies playing an important role in the success of incubators. The key research question explored is: Which resources and capabilities do Chinese incubators find most useful in improving their service success? The answer will allow incubator directors to invest their energy developing requisite resources and capabilities to improve their success.The paper commences with an introduction and background for the study provided by a literature review, culminating in development of hypotheses. A short case is presented.Structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to analyse survey data and validate hypotheses.Conclusions are provided and limitations of the study are discussed before outlining areas for future research. Literature reviewRBV is presently the dominant theory that explains interfirm performance differences (Hoopes, Madsen, & Walker, 2003). Resources of a firm "include all assets, capabilities, organizational processes, firm attributes, information, knowledge, etc. controlled by a firm that enable the firm to conceive of and implement strategies" (Barney, 1991, p. 101).Organisations are repositories of capabilities, knowledge, and resources;...
