Internal and external resources of competitive advantage for small business success: validation across family ownership
by Jeffrey M. Campbell; Joohyung Park
International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business (IJESB), Vol. 27, No. 4, 2016

Abstract: The current study reviews both internally-driven strategic factors such as entrepreneurial orientation and firm capital and externally-driven factors such as social capital and community social responsibility and their effects on business performance across family-owned small businesses. Under a resource-based view of the firm framework, the sample was analysed using structural equation modelling. Results suggested that entrepreneurial orientation, firm capital, and corporate social responsibility reflect a significant positive relationship with business performance. Testing of relationship effects based upon ownership type (family versus non-family owned) showed no significant differences. Implications and future research directions for practitioners and academics were provided.
