| Abstract: | This study proposes a model which relates the CEO's perceptions of the environment, the strategic business orientation, scanning and structural characteristics; technology policy; realized innovative efforts of the company; measures of company performance. The focus on the strategic management of technology helps to better understand a crucial dimension of small firm competitiveness. While environment has long been considered an important contingency variable by researchers, this study departs from that in demonstrating empirically the power of environmental perceptions on the formulation and enactment of technology policy in SMEs and its subsequent organizational impacts in terms of realized innovative efforts and company performance. |
