The paper proposes a conceptual model which provides direction for researchers to empirically establish the connections between dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, entrepreneurial capabilities and financial and strategic performance. The author uses systematic literature review process to select the articles used in this study. First, the present paper review and discuss some major contributions to the theories of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, entrepreneurial capabilities and their consequences. The author seeks to highlight different understandings of the concepts to clarify the distinctions between them. Second, the conceptual model and propositions for future studies were developed. The proposed model highlights the different measures of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, entrepreneurial capabilities and their consequences. The model with its associated propositions was developed base on limitations and gaps observed from past studies. It is focused on empirically testing the direct impact of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities, and entrepreneurial capabilities on the performance of SMEs in Vietnam. Nevertheless, the proposed model can be applied to similar situations in different contexts and countries. Further empirical testing of proposed model would contribute to enriching existing knowledge of dynamic capabilities, innovation capabilities and entrepreneurial capabilities within SMEs and how these capabilities foster superior performance.

In this study, we identified the various mechanisms through which entrepreneurial orientation impacts firm performance. We proposed that entrepreneurial orientation assists organizations in building cultural, structural, human and technical knowledge capabilities, which in turn lead to sustainable competitive advantage. We tested our proposed hypothesis using data collected from 76 managers of small entrepreneurial firms. We found that cultural knowledge capabilities are the strongest mediators of entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance relationship. By bringing in knowledge capabilities in the literature of entrepreneurial orientation, we open new directions for research. Our findings have implications for theory as well as practice.

A firm's competitive advantage generating from empowering its dynamic capabilities is very important for established companies and new business ventures in facing intense competition and in responding to unanticipated environmental changes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between dynamic capabilities of a new business venture and its competitive advantage and the effect of entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation mediation on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and the competitive advantage of a new business venture. Data was collected using an online survey from 143 new Indonesian shipping agency companies that spread over two-thirds of Indonesia's territory and was analyzed using structural equations modeling (SEM). The results showed that the dynamic capabilities of new business ventures are positively associated with competitive advantage but not significantly. This result indicates that empowering a new business venture's dynamic capability is not sufficient to generate a competitive advantage. However, a new business venture's dynamic capability is significantly and positively associated with the competitive advantage when mediated by entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation. The findings of this study suggest that the competitive advantage of a new business venture can be gained from empowering a firm's dynamic capabilities through mediating entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation in facing intense competition and in responding to unanticipated environmental changes.

Purpose: Due to an ever more interconnected global commercial environment, the role of SMEs from emerging markets has attracted considerable attention in business literature of late. Reinforced by strategic management theory, this study builds on aspects such as entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities to construct and test a framework that focuses on exploring their associations with export performance. Research design, data and methodology: To contribute further towards a deeper understanding of these markets, the current study empirically tests a model using data collected from 225 exporting firms located throughout South Africa. Results: The results from the data analysis show that entrepreneurial orientation contributes significantly towards improving the performance of South African SMEs. Additionally, this study integrates three dynamic capabilities in the strategy-performance relationship to test their interacting effects on the correlation between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. Further findings advocate support for relationship-based capabilities playing a moderating role between entrepreneurial orientation and the exporting performance of small and medium firms emanating from emerging markets. Conclusions: Findings provide substance to the argument that entrepreneurship, as a strategy-making process, leads to export performance in emerging nations. Especially, this study provides several suggestions as to how small and medium-sized organizations can develop their exporting performance based on the research findings.

창업초기기업은 자원 부족이라는 생래적 한계를 지니고 있다. 이러한 한계로 인해 창업자는 기업가정신을 기반으로 조직을 끊임없이 변화시켜가며 기회를 탐색하고 위험을 관리하며 기업을 성장시켜 나가고자 노력한다. 즉 창업자가 제한된 자원으로 새로운 성과를 추구하는 과정에서 앙트레프레니얼 마케팅 개념이 등장했다. 앙트레프레니얼마케팅에 대한 연구가 30여 년간 지속되고 있음에도 불구하고 국내에서는 아직 연구가 활성화되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 먼저 앙트레프레니얼마케팅에 대한 이론과 연구성과들을 정리를 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향성과 마케팅역량, 경영성과 간의 영향 관계를 밝히는 실증연구의 필요성을 제시하였다. 이후 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향성이 조직의 마케팅역량을 거쳐 경영성과에 이르는 일련의 과정과 그 효과를 가설로 제시하였다. 실증연구를 위해 220개 기업의 창업자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 이후 구조방정식을 이용한 경로분석을 통해 가설검정을 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스타트업의 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향성은 조직의 마케팅역량과 경영성과 모두에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조직의 마케팅역량 역시 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향성과 경영성과의 관계에 대한 조직의 마케팅역량의 매개효과를 실증분석한 결과, 마케팅 전문성이 재무적 성과보다 비재무적 성과에 더 큰 매개효과를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 마케팅 수행능력은 비재무성과보다 재무성과에 더 강한 매개적 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 그동안 학술적 공백이었던 국내 창업기업에 적합한 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향성 개념과 구성요인을 실증분석을 통하여 확인하였다는 점에서 학문적 의의가 크다. 아울러 본 연구는 진취성과 위험관리능력, 혁신성, 기회지향, 자원활용, 고객집중성 6가지 요인으로 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향성의 구성요인을 확인하고, 이들이 조직의 마케팅역량을 매개로 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다는 점에서 연구의 차별성이 있다. 이와 더불어 본 연구는 초기창업자들에게 앙트레프레니얼마케팅 지향적인 사고의 중요성을 알려준다는 점에서 실무적 의의가 있다. 특히 본 연구의 결과는 중소기업 창업자들이 시장분석 능력을 최적화하고, 다양한 이해관계자와 네트워킹하고, 마케팅역량을 발휘할 수 있는 조직의 역량을 높이는 데 도움을 줄 것이다.

본 연구는 중소기업 종사자를 대상으로 개인의 창업역량이 창업의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 했으며, 창업역량과 창업의도간에 창업효능감과 창업멘토링의 매개효과를 확인하고자 했다. 창업역량의 하위변수로는 창의성, 문제해결, 의사소통, 마케팅으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 전국에 소재하는 중소제조기업에서 종사자를 중심으로 수집한 설문지 368부를 실증 분석에 사용하였다. 매개변수 간 인과관계가 없는 병렬이중매개모형을 실증분석에 활용하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 창업역량 중에서 창의성, 의사소통, 마케팅은 창업효능감에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 창업역량 중에서 창의성, 의사소통, 마케팅은 창업멘토링에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 검정되었다. 셋째, 창업효능감과 창업멘토링 모두 창업 의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 창업역량 중에서 창의성과 마케팅은 창업의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 다섯째, 창업효능감과 창업멘토링은 창업역량 중에서 문제해결을 제외하고 창업의도에 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 중소기업 종사자의 창업의도를 강화하기 위해서는 창업효능감과 창업멘토링이 중요한 요인이고 개인의 창업역량 중에서도 마케팅과 창의성이 중요한 영향을 미치기에 이에 대한 교육 및 사전준비가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 후속 연구로는 다변량 모형 적용이나 시계열 데이터 분석 및 외부 환경 요인을 고려한 연구, 세부화된 인구 특성을 고려한 창업역량과 성과 간의 차이를 검정하는 연구도 필요할 것이다.
