摘要：This research provides a useful framework for identifying small firms’ propensity to engage in Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO).We examine the impact of the EO as a main resource and capability on small firm’s growth.The growth seems to come out as an important demonstration of the entrepreneurial orientation of small firms.Thus,this research builds on prior conceptual research that suggests a positive integration between entrepreneurial orientation and Resource-Based View (RBV).The results support the necessity to identify explicative variables of multiple levels to explain the growth of small firms.The adoption of an entrepreneurial orientation as an indispensable variable to the growth oriented small firms seems pertinent.
