The Influence Of Entrepreneurial Orientation And Organizational Learning On The Resource Integration Ability Of New Ventures

With the proposal of the double-creation policy,domestic entrepreneurial activities have flourished and become an important driver of innovation development and industrial upgrading.New ventures are faced with significant resource disadvantages and new entry defects,and it is difficult to maintain sustainable competitiveness by relying only on initial resources.Therefore,start-ups must improve their resource integration ability to respond to the fast-changing external environment.Among the related research of new start-ups,research themes such as performance,social network,and resource integration are popular and it has been proved that resource integration positively influenced the start-ups' performance.Hence it's theoretically and practically important to research how to improve the resource integration ability.The research on the antecedents of resource integration ability in China lags behind international research.By sorting out relevant Chinese and international research on resource integration,it is found that few scholars have studied the resource integration abilities of new ventures from the perspective of entrepreneurial orientation.This paper attempts to study the positive influence of new ventures' entrepreneurial orientation on the resource integration ability and explore the intermediary mechanism of organizational learning to provide management reference for the new ventures' continued growth.This paper establishes a model of entrepreneurial orientation,organizational learning and resources integration ability.Based on 193 start-ups' questionnaires,the relationship was explored by hierarchy regression process.The results show that innovativeness orientation,proactive orientation,and risk-taking orientation have positive effects on resource integration ability.And organizational learning plays an intermediary role in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and resource integration abilities.This paper supplements the research on the influencing factors of resource integration and refines the research of entrepreneurial orientation-resource integration.Finally,this paper puts forward management suggestions and future research insights.
