Can Women Entrepreneurs Plan to Prosper? Exploring the Role of Gender as a Moderator of the Planning-Performance Relationship

Springer

Women entrepreneurs have long been argued to suffer from disadvantages in initial resource stock, which makes it difficult to establish and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. Prior work suggests that planning may assist in overcoming these disparities; however, few studies have examined these relationships while considering context. We explore the role of strategic business planning activities on entrepreneurial firm performance and whether such planning activities yield greater benefit for women than men. We find that business planning provides greater performance benefits to women, which we argue may give women an opportunity to compensate for initial resource disadvantages.

Strategic Antecedents of Innovation: Variance Between Small and Large Firms

Journal of Small Business Management

Our study explores differences in enhancing innovation based on firm size. Framed through the resource‐based view, we theorize and test antecedents of innovation including dynamic capabilities, strategic planning, and organizational structure. We operationalize firm size based on number of employees and also include firm revenues as an alternative proxy. We find that dynamic capabilities partially support innovation in both small and large firms. Secondly, we find strategic planning is valuable for small firm innovation and that organizational structure has a positive effect on large firm innovation. Results are largely consistent when comparing number of employees to revenues.
