“…First, our findings contribute to theoretical development in the relationships between capabilities and sustainable new venture performance. Previous research has highlighted the role of four key capabilities for sustainable new venture performance improvements, e.g., [3,7,8,13,27,29,38]. We find that marketing capabilities, technology capabilities, market-linking capabilities, and IT capabilities all have positive impacts on sustainable new venture performance, consistent with prior studies of new ventures, e.g., [3,7,27,29,38] and established firms, e.g., [25,38].…”

“…Yet, previous empirical research has shown mixed results on the relationship between capabilities and sustainable organizational performance (the capabilitiesperformance relationship) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Based on the capability-based view (CBV) theory [2], many empirical studies have provided support for a direct link between capabilities and sustainable organizational performance [2][3][4][6][7][8]. The argument that effective use of capabilities to achieve sustainable organizational performance depends on environmental conditions is widely accepted in the literature [1,2,9,10].…”

“…New ventures are particularly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions and often deal with significant effects of environmental factors [8,[11][12][13][14]. The competitive environment in which new ventures operate changes quickly and frequently and new ventures must promptly respond to the competitive changes [13,14].…”

Does Competitive Intensity Moderate the Relationships between Sustainable Capabilities and Sustainable Organizational Performance in New Ventures?

Competitive intensity presents challenges to new ventures. Capabilities may lead to sustainable new venture performance. Yet, few studies have explored how competitive intensity moderates the effects of capabilities on sustainable new venture performance. Based on capability-based view, this study develops a research model to investigate how new ventures translate capabilities (marketing, technology, market-linking, and information technology capabilities) to achieve sustainability of new venture growth and performance under the different levels of competitive intensity. Using data collected from 146 U.S. new ventures, this study uses ordinary least squares regression analysis to test the research model and employs “pick-a-point” approach to examine how capabilities affect sustainable new venture performance at different levels of competitive intensity. The empirical results suggest that increasing competitive intensity decreases, not increases, the positive effects of marketing capabilities on performance. When competitive intensity is very high, the positive effects of marketing capabilities on performance become insignificant. In contrast, the positive effects of market-linking capabilities on performance increase, not decrease, as competitive intensity increases. For technology and information technology capabilities, there are no moderating effects of competitive intensity. The theoretical and managerial implications are suggested for sustainable entrepreneurship and sustainable development of new enterprises.

“…Additionally, the development and utilization of slack resources in the context of social networks have changed. By building a network of relationships, entrepreneurs often realize entrepreneurial learning through the sharing of entrepreneurial information and knowledge [18] and finally acquire new methods for developing slack resources. Finally, through online activities and personal interactions, entrepreneurs not only establish social connections with business participants, but also establish social connections with government officials.…”

There are a lot of slack resources in a company. It is vitally important for an enterprise to use slack resources to identify entrepreneurial opportunities to establish company sustainable development. On the basis of the resource orchestration theory and from resource-opportunity perspective, this paper constructs a framework of slack resources and entrepreneurial opportunity identification, exploring the mediating of resource bricolage, the moderating of network ties, and the moderated mediation of network ties. In our analyses, we used data from companies in eastern China, and statistical hypotheses were validated through a structural equation model with data using the statistical software Amos version 20, SPSS version 22. The research results show that: (1) Absorbed slack resources and unabsorbed slack resources have a positive impact on entrepreneurial opportunity identification. (2) Slack resources indirectly affect the opportunity identification through the mediating role of resource bricolage. Among them, resource bricolage has a fully mediating role between absorbed slack resources and entrepreneurial opportunity identification, and it has a partial mediating role between unabsorbed slack resources and entrepreneurial opportunity identification. (3) Business ties positively moderate the relationship between two types of slack resources and entrepreneurial opportunity identification, and business ties moderate the mediation effect of resource bricolage. The resource-opportunity perspective answers how decisions are made, and the entire model process answers how to create sustainable value (entrepreneurship opportunities). The study guides managers on how to integrate and use external and internal resources, coordinate resource elements, and identify profitable business opportunities.

“…Entrepreneurs in emerging markets can potentially harness the benefits of open innovation as they face global competition. Open innovation requires the utilization of internal and external resources, particularly the creative side of human thinking, which may be compromised under stressful conditions [111]. The perception of stress is subjective, but perceptual gaps can be reduced with an objective evaluation of resources and capabilities.…”

The entrepreneurial stress construct’s nomological validity is not well established as past studies have not delineated between entrepreneurial and employee stress. This study investigated several entrepreneurship-specific stressors positing their causal effect on perceived entrepreneurial stress (PES). It examined four directional hypotheses testing the causal, reverse, reciprocal relationships and moderation effects between stressors and PES. Further, it looked at the moderating impact of psychological capital. More than 300 entrepreneurs in emerging markets, namely India, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates, participated in this longitudinal study (Time 1 n = 325, Time 2 n = 310). The study adopted a cross-lagged competing model research design and analyzed the data using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that entrepreneurship-specific personal, social, and occupational stressors cause PES. Further, the results also support the reverse causal effect of PES on stressors and a reciprocal relationship. The study advances resource-based theory to an entrepreneurial background, highlighting the role of intangible resource gaps in perceived entrepreneurial stress. The study concludes that entrepreneurship-specific intangible resources are useful to entrepreneurs at personal, social, and occupational levels. An actual or perceived loss of these resources may lead to perceived entrepreneurial stress. Furthermore, PES can interfere with the entrepreneurial capacity for innovation over time. Psychological capital can be an effective coping response as a moderator of perceived entrepreneurial stress’ adverse effects. This is one of the first studies that examines PES in an emerging market context, specific to entrepreneurial employment.
