The Antecedents of Entrepreneurial Performance in KIE Textile and Apparel Firms

Abstract

Regarding the relationship Sources of Knowledge→Strategic Behavior→Entrepreneurial Performance, the empirical evidence suggests that for textile firms, technical sources of knowledge affect the strategic behavior of firms, and that behavior in turn affects entrepreneurial behavior as measured by sales growth. However, for apparel firms, technical sources of knowledge have a direct rather than an indirect effect on sales growth.
