Strategic entrepreneurship and firm performance - restoring the role of task environment
Strategic entrepreneurship and firm performance - restoring the role of task environment

Summary/Abstract: Despite the importance of task environment for firm performance, little is known about the mechanisms that enable firms to benefit from a specific environmental setting. I argue that firms adjust strategic entrepreneurship to the environment and use it as a mechanism to transform the advantages provided by the environment into above-average performance levels. Using data from 158 Polish SMEs, I found that environmental dynamism, hostility, and complexity positively affect strategic entrepreneurship. As well, I discuss the empirical findings with respect to their theoretical contribution and their practical implications.
