Frequently Asked Questions (5)
Q1. What are the contributions in "Entrepreneurial orientation and sme performance across societal cultures: an international study☆" ?

The concept of entrepreneurial orientation ( EO ) is universally applicable, and many empirical studies report a positive relationship between EO and performance in different national contexts. Building on two secondorder factors of societal culture—performance-based culture ( PBC ) and socially supportive culture ( SSC ) —the present study proposes and tests such a contingency framework. 

By focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), using a second-order conceptualization of societal culture (Stephan & Uhlaner, 2010), and employing a multilevel model (Klein & Kozlowski, 2000), this study seeks to contribute to expanding the knowledge on how culture may affect the EO–performance link. 

In an environment where businesses must constantly seek new opportunities, EO—the extent towhich a firm is entrepreneurial (as opposed to conservative) with respect to strategy-making and resource orchestration—is one of the few qualities thatfirms can sustainably rely on. 

Using a data set of 1248 SMEs from seven national contexts, multilevel analyses show that PBC positively moderates the relationship between EO and performance, whereas SSC has no moderation effect.© 2015 Elsevier Inc. 

Addressing the relationship between EO and performance among SMEs seems useful because SMEs are particularly important for countries' economic development (Javalgi & Todd, 2011) and play an increasingly active role within the broader trend of internationalization (Kraus, Ambos, Eggers, & Cesinger, 2015; Lu & Beamish, 2001).
