ABSTRACT

Entrepreneurship plays an important role on economic development. However, its antecedents are still an under-explored topic. As such, this research seeks to identify the factors that influence entrepreneurship by the relationship between the theoretical fields of entrepreneurship and the Resource Based View. To test the hypothesis, a quantitative study was conducted using survey data from a sample of 118 Angolan entrepreneurs. The results from partial least squares (PLS) allow identifying marketing capabilities; access to financial resources, and innovation capabilities as determinants of entrepreneurship. No significant relation was observed in the link between market experience and customer orientation on entrepreneurship. The implications for business practice and policy making are discussed in the conclusions.

摘要

企业家精神对经济发展起着重要作用。然而，它的前因仍然是一个未被充分探索的话题。因此，本研究试图通过创业理论领域与基于资源的观点之间的关系来确定影响创业的因素。为验证该假设，使用来自 118 名安哥拉企业家样本的调查数据进行了定量研究。偏最小二乘法 (PLS) 的结果可以识别营销能力；获得金融资源和创新能力是创业的决定因素。在市场经验和客户对创业的导向之间的联系中没有观察到显着的关系。结论中讨论了对商业实践和政策制定的影响。
