借鉴以往文献提出的创业导向（EO）-绩效关系是由创业活动介导的，我们研究了中介作用，探索性和开发性创新发挥的主动性-新产品绩效协会。我们补充了有关EO-绩效关系的文献，引入了中介效应所依赖的业务联系和竞争强度。虽然来自344家中小企业的数据表明了中介效应，但我们提供的经验证据表明，这些中介效应是有条件的战略资源和外部刺激。在这种情况下，探索性创新在主动性-新产品绩效关系中的中介作用不取决于业务联系或竞争强度，我们表明，剥削性创新只在业务联系存在的情况下中介这种关系，而不管竞争强度水平如何。
Drawing on previous literature proposing that entrepreneurial orientation (EO) – performance relationship is mediated by entrepreneurial activity, we examine the mediating role that exploratory and exploitative innovation plays in proactiveness‐new product performance association. We complement the literature concerning the EO‐performance relationship with the introduction of business ties and competitive intensity that the mediation effect is conditioned to. While data from 344 small‐medium enterprises indicate the mediation effects, we provide empirical evidence that these mediation effects are conditional to the strategic resources and external stimuli. In this context, whereas the mediation effect of exploratory innovation in the proactiveness‐new product performance relationship is not conditional to either business ties or competitive intensity, we show that exploitative innovation mediates this relationship only in the presence of business ties irrespective of competitive intensity level.
