Abstract
This study explores how Miles and Snow's (1978) typology of strategy relates to a firm's choice of capital budgeting techniques (CBT) when the firm operates in a competitive market. Furthermore, it explores how this relationship is contingent on entrepreneurial structure. The study is based on data from 62 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating on First North. The empirical data was collected using a survey and secondary data from annual reports and analysed with content analysis. The results show that an analyser strategy is positively related to the choice of sophisticated CBT, and a defender strategy is positively related to the choice of non-sophisticated CBT. Moreover, entrepreneurial structure positively moderates the relationship between prospector strategy and the choice of non-sophisticated CBT. The study also provides practical insights on how to align strategy, CBT, and structure among SMEs operating on competitive markets.
本研究探讨了Miles and Snow（1978）的战略类型与企业在竞争市场中运营时对资本预算技术（CBT）的选择之间的关系。此外，它还探讨了这种关系是如何取决于创业结构的。该研究基于在First North运营的62家中小型企业的数据。实证数据是通过调查和年度报告中的二次数据收集的，并通过内容分析进行分析。结果表明，分析策略与复杂CBT的选择呈正相关，防御策略与非复杂CBT选择呈正相关。此外，创业结构正向调节探矿者战略与非复杂CBT选择之间的关系。该研究还就如何在竞争激烈的市场上运作的中小企业中调整战略、CBT和结构提供了实用的见解。
