Abstract: Abstract The literature on entrepreneurship and strategy is concerned with the performance implications of key variables. Contingency theory suggests that alignment among key variables is critical for obtaining optimal performance (Lumpkin and Dess 1996). Factors such as action capability and organizational and environmental variables influence how an entrepreneur’s alertness should be configured to secure entrepreneurial success. Therefore, in this chapter, key contingencies and alternate models of the relationships between the construct of entrepreneurial alertness and new venture performance are explored (see Fig. 3.1). First, hypotheses pertaining to the relationships among entrepreneurial alertness, experimentation, and venture performance are developed. Second, hypotheses about the influences of organizational and environmental contexts on these relationships are proposed.
