“…Most of the findings from those studies demonstrated a positive and significant association between proactiveness variable and growth of businesses or firms (Fadda 2018;Arshad et al 2014;Karacaoglu et al 2013, Wang andYen 2012;Kraus et al 2012;Zhang and Zhang 2012;Su et al 2011;Casillas and Moreno 2010;Li et al 2009;Li et al 2009;Wiklund and Shepherd 2005;Lumpkin and Dess 2001;Klomp and van Leeuwen 2001;Lee et al 2001;Miller (1983).

Literature considers entrepreneurship as an important catalyst in the process of improving firm performance and growth. This study analyzes the impacts of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) dimensions (i.e., innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk taking) on the profitability growth of local Tanzania's construction firms. A survey to 132 Tanzanian construction firms was undertaken using a questionnaire. With the help of STATA 13.0 Software, data collected was analyzed by using a multiple regression analysis. The findings show that both innovativeness and risk taking dimensions have a significantly positive effect on the growth of profitability for local Tanzania's construction firms, whereas the proactiveness dimension has a negative significant effect. This study contributes to the field of entrepreneurship in developing countries and enhances the knowledge of the impacts of EO dimensions on the profitability growth of firms (in particular construction firms).

“…However, some researchers indicate a negative link or no link at all (e.g., Chandler & Hanks 1994;Subramaniam & Nilakanta 1996). Similarly, several researchers argue that innovation is not necessarily related to organization performance (Kraus et al 2012;Nazri, Abd.Wahab & Omar 2015;Tajeddini 2011). Rhee, Park and Lee (2010) opine that innovation is an action-based capacity that cannot enhance performance, per se, since innovation may not have a direct influence on performance.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the predictive effects of entrepreneurial orientation, innovation capability and knowledge creation on firm performance. Data for the study was collected using a cross-sectional quantitative survey. A total of 188 useable responses were collected from SMEs in Malaysia. The findings show that entrepreneurial orientation, innovation capability and knowledge creation have a positive impact on firm performance. Furthermore, the impacts of entrepreneurial orientation and innovation capability on knowledge creation are also examined in this study. The findings suggest that innovation capability is positively related to knowledge creation, but entrepreneurial orientation does not have a significant impact on knowledge creation. This study makes a considerable contribution to the existing literature on entrepreneurial orientation, innovation capability and knowledge creation of SMEs, particularly in regards to explaining the performance of Malaysian SMEs.

“…It is suggested that not all the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation have a direct or positive effect on business performance (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996) cited in (Nazri, Wahab, & Omar, 2015). Thus, it is necessary to assess the relative impact of each dimension of entrepreneurial orientation on performance of SMEs (Kraus, et al, 2012).…”

“…Thus, it is necessary to assess the relative impact of each dimension of entrepreneurial orientation on performance of SMEs (Kraus, et al, 2012). Besides most studies on DCs and EO had been conducted in developed countries such as US and the UK (Nazri, Wahab, & Omar, 2015). This underscores the essence of undertaking research in developing countries which has different business environment and management style.…”

This paper reviewed past literature with the aim of establishing the trends in published literature on dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and business performance of Small and Medium Enterprise’s (SMEs). Based on this review the relationship between dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial orientation and business performance of SMEs is hinged on Schumpeter theory of innovations, (Schumpeter, 1942) and dynamic capability theory by Teeceet al (1997). Scholars have a common view that the association between EO and business performance is too complex hence moderated by variables. Dynamic capabilities (DC) have a moderating role between predictors of competitive advantage and business performance. The literature reviewed therefore presents the empirical studies globally and locally on moderation of dynamic capabilities on EO and business performance of SMEs. From the review it has been established that there are inconsistent findings in terms of relationships between DCs, EO and performance of SMEs which is justified by the fact that DCs, EO dimensions vary independently and may not be equally valuable across performance metrics or different stages of development of SMEs, besides different situations impacts on the relationship between DCs, EO and business performance of SMEs. In addition there is a dearth of literature on the moderating effect of dynamic capabilities on the relationship between EO and business performance thus calling for further interrogation in the context of developing countries. In conclusion there are mixed results in the linkage between EO and business performance, however effective integration and implementation of EO and DC would help the organization secure competitive advantage in the face of dynamic business environment to foster high business performance.
