The effect of competitive intensity on the relationship between strategic entrepreneurship and organizational results.

Abstract

Although the field of strategic entrepreneurship has received much attention in recent years, the relationship of strategic entrepreneurship to context is fundamental to understanding the conditions under which strategic entrepreneurship is most necessary. This study analyses the impact of strategic entrepreneurship on the organization’s results, in focusing especially on whether this impact is greater in an environment of high competitive intensity. Performed on a sample of 358 Spanish SMEs, the study suggests that carrying out a strategic venture has a positive influence the company’s results and that this positive relationship improves in situations of high competitiveness.
