“…More preciously, the theory suggested that competitive advantage can be sustained, especially through internal organizational capabilities (Anwar & Shah, 2021). Hence, the empirical study is consistent with past entrepreneurial literature, that EO (innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking) can significantly enhance the firm performance as elicited through the resource-based view theory (Shafique & Saeed, 2020;Shen et al, 2020). The central principle of RBV is that idiosyncratic organizational resources are the key factors for sustained competitive advantage, while EO is a part of one of these unique resources.…”

“…To stabilize their position and sustain competitive performance, organizations need to innovate new things compared to competitors (Majid et al, 2020). Hence, the organization needs to transform entrepreneurial orientation towards competitive performance (Shen et al, 2020). Different factors have been used in the previous literature, such as functional performance (Rezaei & Ortt, 2018), opportunity recognition , as mediators in the relationship between EO and firm performance.…”

This study tried to shed light on the relationship between strategic orientations and sustainable competitive performance with the mediating effect of strategic flexibility of family-owned SMEs in an emerging economy. This study is significant because family firms need a more flexible and quick organizational structure to respond effectively to external market demands. For achieving fruitful insights, data was collected from family-owned manufacturing firms operating in Islamabad and Rawalpindi verified from Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA). In addition, structured questionnaires were used to collect the data from top management through an online source; for testing the hypotheses, Smart PLS-SEM was deployed. The finding suggests that strategic flexibility firmly explains the mechanism to support the relationship between both strategic orientations (entrepreneurial and market) and sustainable competitive performance. Thus, our study suggests several recommendations to the policymaker and governmental bodies to support the family-owned firms in modifying existing resources according to the market demand.

Purpose A well-designed supply chain performance measurement system, should account for not only the capabilities and performance attributes of the focal firm but also its supply chain partners. The purpose of this paper is to help design a system that strikes a balance between the strategic objectives of the focal firm and its supply partners vis-à-vis the requirements of supply chain performance (cost, quality, speed and customer taste). Design/methodology/approach A theoretical framework on the strategic supply chain performance measurement system is developed based on existing literature and subsequently tested using a survey on 136 successful manufacturing organizations in India. The organizations were clustered into three strategy types and compared using analysis of variance on ranks to look for differences in preference for performance parameters. Findings The study examined the five dimensions of the supply chain practices, namely, strategic supply/distribution network, customer relationship, internal operations, information sharing and social and environmental responsiveness. The empirical results demonstrate the inclusion of business strategy orientation in designing today’s supply chain and hence its performance measurement system. Not supported hypotheses were addressed in the light of contextual factors. Research limitations/implications The study is confined to finding preferences of non-financial aspects of supply chain performance and tier-1 suppliers. The research helps better design and benchmark supply chain performance metrics, based on the strategic choice of the firm. Originality/value This paper highlights the shortcomings in the existing performance measurement and gaps in the existing literature in the supply chain context. Further, it gives a holistic view of strategic supply chain performance measurement design.

“…Then Lumpkin and Dess (1996) added two other dimensions: aggressive competition and autonomy. This research adopted the common entrepreneurial dimensions carried out by number of researchers (Al-Dhaafri and Alosani, 2020;Arif, 2019;Mohsen, 2017;Salah, 2019;Serai et al, 2017;Shen et al, 2020;Su, 2020;Yama et al, 2019) in the field of EO named:…”
