Rural SMEs, entrepreneurial orientation, performanceAbstract
In Peru as in Latin America, up to 30% of new firms are sustainable. Studies on performance have
been centered on internal factors such as resources, capabilities, or orientations. However, rural
firms have been scarcely researched in terms of performance-driven factors.
This study aims to determine the resources that have an impact on Peruvian rural SMEs` performance,
with the mediation of a marketing capacity. Particularly, entrepreneurial orientation, marketing
resources, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) resources are included in the
conceptual model. A quantitative approach is presented, including structural equation modeling for
data analysis. Results show the predictive effect of entrepreneurial orientation and ICT resources on
performance, while marketing resources showed a negative effect. Additionally, the mediating effect
of marketing capacity on performance was non-significant regarding the three independent variables.
