Abstract

En este artículo se investiga el efecto de la orientación emprendedora (EO) en el desempeño financiero de las Pymes en un período de tres años, así como una propuesta de un modelo de contingencias para explorar los efectos moderadores de la hostilidad del entorno sobre la relación entre la EO y la rentabilidad. Para examinar las hipótesis propuestas se ha utilizado información de 121 Pymes pertenecientes a la industria manufacturera en España. Los resultados confirman la influencia positiva de la EO sobre la rentabilidad de las empresas, y más importante aún, la influencia es más positiva cuando existe un ajuste entre la EO y el entorno. Implicaciones para la academia y el mundo empresarial, con respecto a la EO en el contexto de las Pymes, son presentadas y discutidas.
