Study on the Effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation on Performance: Environmental Dynamism as Moderator Variables --An Empirical Study on SMEs of North-East Areas of ChinaSince the 1980s, entrepreneurial activity starts to receive the theorists' attention, in recent years, it becomes the focus of attention. Especially corporate entrepreneurship, it has been regarded as important means of reforming the enterprise obtains and growing the market share. No matter the establishment of the new enterprise or corporate entrepreneurship, has the very big promotion effect to a national or the local economy, it can lead the economic development, promote employment, and increase GDP growth rate. It can be said that the new enterprise's establishment or corporate entrepreneurship can bring the new product and the service, the alleviation social employment pressure, even possibly promotes the new industrial production.Because entrepreneurship can bring so many advantages to the economy, massive scholars begin to conduct the research on it, and strive to improve the company business performance. The existing research shows that, for the companies with high entrepreneurial orientation, to achieve better business performance will be quite easy. With more and more in-depth study of entrepreneurship, the scholars discovered that the entrepreneurship is an open system actually, it is unable to be separated from the environment, but exists alone. Such being the case, that the entrepreneurial environment may have the promotion or the hindrance function to a certain extent to the entrepreneurial activities.Our country economy maintained a rapid growth in recent years, with the continuous increase of economic strength, the innovation ability and competition ability of enterprise also got improved significantly. In our economic life, appeared all kinds of entrepreneurial activity, and full of vitality.According to the correlation data may discover that the Northeast area small and medium-sized enterprise the origination rate is high, but majority is unable to manage continually. This indicated that although the present undertaking surges upward warmly, but without the proper policy guidance for entrepreneurial activity, so the start-up firms which can get high performance and have been in the market competition keep advantage position are not many. Creates this result is mainly because Northeast area economic development relative backwardness, the thought are quite conservative, in the local economic development planned economy color to be thick, causes the innovation not to be strong, the local undertaking activity level is low, the small and medium-sized enterprise development is relatively slow, is unable to realize the large-scale development.Our country is currently in the stage of transition to a market economy, the enterprise livelihood environment has the high uncertainty, and the technology will be transform day by day, while there are many congenitally shortcomings in the new enterprise, therefore, it should be more attention that different environment variable will control the relationship between"Entrepreneurial orientation - Entrepreneurial performance".According to Chinese report of the GEM, we can find that in the northeast region's entrepreneurial activity is not very active, this is mainly due to the geographical factors, less of innovation factors, and the development of the region's entrepreneurial activities always cannot large-scale development. The enterprises in northeast China are full of state-owned enterprises, heavy industry enterprises, large enterprises, SMEs'development are relatively weak.

Based on the summary review of the literature at home and abroad, propose two main hypotheses, six sub-hypotheses, according to 193 valid questionnaires for data analysis, the hypotheses were verified.
