Abstract

From environmental scanning perspective, this study examines the mediated relationship among organizational slack (OS), open innovation search (IS), and high-tech small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance. We also propose that this mediated relationship is moderated by organizational risk (OR) and government subsidy (GS). We tested our model by using a sample of 244 high-tech SMEs. Our empirical results indicate that open IS partially mediates the positive relationship between OS and SMEs’ performance, and the mediated relationship is strengthened by OR and GS. These findings offer important implications for both SMEs and government to effectively promote firm performance.
