“…The study findings are supported by Maldonado-Guzmán et al (2016), whose study in Mexican SMEs revealed that managers should incorporate all activities that have a high level of risk, for example, innovativeness activities, but having the necessary information about the market, clients and consumers to reduce risks and improve decision-making. Moreover, managers of SMEs have to incorporate innovativeness initiatives in everyday activities, in such a manner that they carry out adaptations or changes to products and services that their organization provides; to adapt and personalize them with the objectives of fulfilling their consumers' preferences and needs (Wong, 2021;Kustina et al, 2019).…”

“…We give empirical evidence in two angles: external, industrial factors; internal, EO and CS. With this complex perspective, we want to show the stretch of EO as the main variable, in view of contemporary studies where it was related in one way (e.g., Boso, Story, & Cadogan, 2013;de la Garza Carranza, Soria, & Estrada, 2016;Dickson & Weaver, 2008;Dwairi & Akour, 2014;Lechner & Gudmundsson, 2014;Maldonado-Guzmán, López-Torres, & Castro, 2016;Martin & Javalgi, 2016;Roxas & Chadee, 2013;Ruiz-Ortega & Parra-Requena, 2014;Tang & Hull, 2012).…”

2019

This empirical study was aimed at deepening the knowledge of the direct and indirect effects of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on business performance and how industrial organization (IO) influences EO of micro and small firms from a city in a developing country, using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). In this study, the satisfaction of the customers was considered as a mediator variable and the IO as a formative construct. The results show enough evidence that IO positively affects EO; EO positively influences business performance and customer satisfaction (CS); likewise, EO impacts business performance in a positive manner both directly and indirectly through CS. Regarding managerial implications, the study provides knowledge to managers over the processes of shaping strategy and decision making, stressing the importance of both encouraging the development of EO capabilities and focusing efforts on CS to improve business performance.

“…It is whether they must be applied directly or indirectly (Stambaugh et al, 2017). In this context, many results of empirical studies have shown that EO is generally considered as an indirect construct by involving many variables to measure the dimensions in EO (Maldonado-Guzman, Lopez-Torres, & Castro, 2016). The measurement scale used by these researchers generally refers to the EO measurement scale proposed by Lumpkin and Dess (1996) and Miller (1983).…”
