Abstract

This study examines how Technology Orientation (TO) and Customer Orientation (CO) with organizational characteristics e.g. firm size and culture collectively impact firm performance. A sample of 158 Chinese firms were clustered of the basis of their mix of Technology Orientation (TO) and Customer Orientation (CO). The paper provides evidence that firms combining several strategic orientations such as (TO) and (CO) perform better. The second key finding is that organizational characteristics e.g. firm size and collectivism have a positive influence on firm performance while power distance and risk taking have a negative influence on firm performance. Implications of the findings are discussed.
