Abstract

This study sought to answer the small-size hotels in Ghana’s entrepreneurial orientation, firms’ resources, and industry forces on business performance. The study adopted a survey research design that involves the use of quantitative sampling techniques for the primary data. A sample size of three hundred and ninety-six (396) owner-managers was emailed with a questionnaire to solicit their responses. Analysis of the independent dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation showed significant interaction with each of the variables and firm performance. Thus, the study encourages small-size hotels to implement the activities of entrepreneurial orientation and hotel resources. The study believes the implementation of this activity will enable small-size hotels to overcome the industry forces.
