Resource-based theories of strategy (RBV) argue that firms with valuable, rare, and inimitable resources (including nonsubstitutability) have the potential of achieving superior performance (e.g., Barney, 1991, 1995). Knowledge-based resources are the ways in which firms combine and transform tangible input resources. KBR may be particularly important for providing sustainable competitive advantage, because they are inherently difficult to imitate, thus facilitating sustainable differentiation. And play an essential role in the firm’s ability to create capability. What kinds of strategic posture should a firm choose to come up against management, accumulation and utilization issues of knowledge? We introduce two research constructs which facilitate to capture outside opportunity and affect internal operation simultaneously. “Entrepreneurial Orientation” refers to a firm’s strategic orientation, capturing specific entrepreneurial aspects of decision-making styles, methods, and practices. “Learning Orientation” embodies the degree to which firms are committed to systematically challenging the fundamental beliefs and practices that define the innovation process itself. We argue these two constructs complementary to each other. EO emphasizes risk-taking aggressively, but LO emphasizes to break through what it is. EO tends to exhibit outward, but LO tends to upgrade intrinsically. In order to clarify the relationship between KBR, EO and LO to performance, we perform hierarchical regression to empirically test main effect, contingency and configuration model. Acquired 255 samples in Taiwan’s TSEC and OTC market listed companies, return rate of 21.25% for 1200 questionnaires issued during Jan. to Apr., 2005. Our results show that (1) Main effect with significant impact on both finicial and innovational performance. (2) Contingency and configuration model only with significant impact on innovational performance.
