Abstract | Can the institutional environment explain why some SMEs are more entrepreneurial and better performers than others? This study seeks answers to this question by developing and testing measurement and structural models of formal institutions as they relate to the strategic posture and organisational performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in an emerging economy context. Guided by institutional theory, the study proposes a set of formal institutions which reflects the SMEs' institutional environment at the sub-national or city-level as opposed to the more common institutional analyses with country-wide focus. The study involves a survey of 955 owners and/or managers of SMEs in two cities in the Philippines. The study attempts to determine the owners'/managers' perceptions on how the formal institutional environment impacts their firms' overall entrepreneurial strategic posture, and consequently, the firms' overall organisational performance. The empirical analysis makes use of structural equation modelling (SEM) to examine the measurement and structural models to test the hypothesised relationships in the institutions-strategic posture-organisational performance nexus. |
