Toward a Theory of Small Firm Performance: A Conceptual Model

Barbara W. Keats and Jeffrey S. Bracker

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1988, vol. 12, issue 4, 41-58

Abstract: A conceptual model of small firm performance is developed based on extant theory in strategy, entrepreneurship and organization theory. It provides a framework for the study of the interrelationships among entrepreneurial characteristics, contextual factors and performance outcomes. It is considered a first step toward a limited domain theory of small firm performance.
