Abstract: Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to examine how stakeholder orientation (SO) impacts the performance of small businesses. Environmental dynamism and munificence were also reviewed specifically looking at organizational context from the perspective of small businesses and stakeholder orientation. Theory of the firm, resource dependency, and stakeholder theory were the theoretical underpinnings for each of the constructs to develop testable hypotheses. The hypotheses were tested using multiple, moderated, and step-wise regression analysis.
