Abstract

Der Zweck dieser Studie ist, die Längsschnittbeziehung zwischen unternehmerischer Ausrichtung (entrepreneurial orientation, kurz EO) und Unternehmensleistung zu verstehen. Die Autoren gewinnen objektive Leistungsmessung aus Archivquellen und erstellen anhand von Briefen an Aktienhabern Paneldaten von vergangen zehn Jahren aus großen, börsennotierten deutschen Unternehmen, um EO-Informationen zu gewinnen. Im Gegensatz zur bisherigen Forschung misst diese Studie alle Variablen jedes Jahr für die Probenzeit. Die Analysen indizieren, dass EO einen starken anfänglichen Einfluss auf die Unternehmensleistung hat und dass sich dieser Effekt allmählich abnimmt. Wettbewerbsintensität und Nachfrageschwankungen beeinflussen die Wirkung von EO auf die Leistung sowohl kurzfristig als auch langfristig. Konsequenzen dessen für Forschung und Praxis werden hier diskutiert. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
