“…Furthermore, they are found to be more innovative concerning their management practices. Moreover, in agreement with prior findings (Alexiev et al 2016;van de Vrande et al 2009), the results in this study find further evidence for the positive impact of different forms of IC on family firms' innovations in products and processes as well as innovations in management practices (Hollen et al 2013).…”

“…Interorganizational Collaboration asked the respondents to indicate the extent to which their firms pursued different forms of collaborations with other firms in the previous three years. A seven-point Likert scale ranging from 1 Bnot at all^to 7 Bto a large extentŵ as used in compliance with Alexiev et al (2016). Technological Innovation was adopted from Ngo and O'Cass (2013), and assesses the extent to which the participating firms, compared to their major competitors, utilized different approaches to technological innovation in the previous year.…”

“…Additionally, networking with other firms to acquire new or missing knowledge and involving customers in the innovation process are prominent goals (van de Vrande et al 2009). Finally, firms engaging in IC were found to be the most innovative, measured in terms of successful new product or process introductions (Alexiev et al 2016).…”

“…Interorganizational Collaboration (IC) is assessing the degree of importance of other organizations for the various stages of the innovation process of the firm (Alexiev et al 2016). This construct is closely related to the paradigm of open innovation (Chesbrough 2006) as Ba paradigm that assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology^(p. 1).…”

Understanding how family small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seize opportunities for innovation and thus achieve superior performance is of substantial interest to family firm managers and academia. This paper develops a conceptual framework of antecedents that include resources internal and external to the firm in the two major dimensions of technological innovation (TI) and management innovation (MI) and their effects on financial performance. The framework is empirically tested with survey data from 152 manufacturing family SMEs in the D-A-CH countries, which comprise Germany (D), Austria (A) and Switzerland (CH). Drawing on the knowledge-based view, the results highlight the central role of firm-external knowledge for family firm innovation, which is inherent in an industry's technological opportunities and interorganizational collaboration. Furthermore, results show that it is only through technological innovation that family firms can capitalize on innovation. Finally, management innovation is still observed to constitute a vital complement for technological innovation in that it is an enabler for innovation in products and processes. Recommendations for practice include the need for technological innovation, openness toward collaborations with external partners and receptiveness to knowledge from external sources.

SEDCs are the central representative in dispersing economic development at the state level. There are thirteen SEDCs in Malaysia. Each state SEDCs have its owned subsidiaries which are known as states government link companies or SGLCs. The aim of SGLCs establishment are fulfilling obligatory of raising Bumiputera participation in states economic sectors. Global dynamism required enterprises to suit and made changes accordingly. Thus SEDCs thru its SGLCs should fully run based on five EO dimensions namely autonomy, competitive aggressiveness, innovativeness, pro-activeness and risk takings in order to meet the obligation. Currently, five EOs have not been fully practices in state enterprises. Thus, the role of state government in rectifying this matter is important to ensure SGLCs aims are not diverted by other than noble intention and will be tested in this research. Besides that, SGLCs too have faced with internal problems related to culture as indicated by Hofstede, and organizational culture as mentioned by Schein. This paper proposed the conceptual model which highlighted the role of state governments' as the moderating construct in the relationships between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Organizational Culture towards the performance of State Government Link Companies in Malaysia.

This paper draws on the resource dependency theory to examine the impact of interfirm collaboration on corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditure. In addition, we examine entrepreneurial orientation as a moderator of the relationship between interfirm collaboration and CSR expenditure. We test our research model using survey data from 230 small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. Results from our empirical analyses reveal that interfirm collaboration positively impacts CSR expenditure and this relationship is strengthened when entrepreneurial orientation is greater in turbulent environments. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
