加納制造業(yè)中小企業(yè)在國家發(fā)展增長(zhǎng)中發(fā)揮著重要作用。然而,由于中小企業(yè)資源有限且企業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)日益激烈,使其在國民經(jīng)濟(jì)中相對(duì)處于弱勢(shì)地位。既有研究發(fā)現(xiàn),制造業(yè)中小企業(yè)在應(yīng)對(duì)商業(yè)環(huán)境挑戰(zhàn)方面的成功在很大程度上取決于他們的企業(yè)家導(dǎo)向(EO)。企業(yè)家導(dǎo)向在以往的研究中被認(rèn)為是影響企業(yè)財(cái)務(wù)績(jī)效的因素之一。然而,迄今為止,相關(guān)研究還無法清晰證實(shí)企業(yè)家導(dǎo)向與公司財(cái)務(wù)績(jī)效之間是否一定存在積極關(guān)系,這表明企業(yè)家導(dǎo)向至少有時(shí)可能導(dǎo)致企業(yè)的卓越業(yè)績(jī)。迄今為止,尚未有對(duì)企業(yè)家導(dǎo)向及其與加納中小企業(yè)、特別是阿克拉制造業(yè)的業(yè)績(jī)之間關(guān)系進(jìn)行的重要研究。因此,本研究采用定量方法,鑒于加納阿克拉制造業(yè)中小企業(yè)對(duì)區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)乃至國民經(jīng)濟(jì)的重要價(jià)值,選取阿克拉地區(qū)制造業(yè)加納中小企業(yè)為樣本開展研究,實(shí)證探討阿克拉制造業(yè)中小企業(yè)的企業(yè)家導(dǎo)向與財(cái)務(wù)績(jī)效之間的關(guān)系,以期對(duì)優(yōu)化提升其財(cái)務(wù)績(jī)效提供對(duì)策建議。本研究樣本選取的受訪者是中小企業(yè)所有者或經(jīng)理,該群體被認(rèn)為對(duì)組織特點(diǎn)及戰(zhàn)略制定過程密切相關(guān)。數(shù)據(jù)來自加納大阿克拉地區(qū)阿克拉大都會(huì)的中小業(yè)主和管理者。采用方便的抽樣方法,選擇246名被調(diào)查者進(jìn)行研究。之所以選擇這種方法,是因?yàn)檫@些管理者和業(yè)主的...
