Altinay, L., Madanoglu, M., De Vita, G., Arasli, H. and Ekinci, Y. (2016) The interface between organizational learning capability, entrepreneurial orientation, and SME growth. Journal of Small Business Management, 54 (3). pp. 871-891. ISSN 1540-627X doi: 10.1111/jsbm.12219

Abstract/Summary

This paper investigates the interface between organizational learning capability, entrepreneurial orientation (EO), and small business performance. It reports on the findings from 350 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in North Cyprus operating in the services and retailing sectors. The findings indicate a positive relationship between EO and sales and market share growth, but not between EO and employment growth. There is also a positive relationship between organizational learning capability and EO. This paper contributes to the small business management literature by providing a holistic analysis of the interface between organizational learning capability, EO, and growth.
