Abstract (english)
In today’s globalized and interconnected world in which firms form different kinds of interrelationships, the concept of strategic networking has emerged as a valuable factor in understanding the firm’s behavior and performance. This carries significant importance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as networks help them overcome different challenges and seize new opportunities. In the context of tangible and intangible resource scarcity, the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in strategic networks has proven to be a promising path for attaining business success. While various antecedents of strategic networking have been outlined in the literature, there is a lack of understanding of the influence of demographic variables of the individuals involved in networking activities. This research focuses on exploring the direct and moderation effects of gender, experience, education, and position on each of the strategic networking dimensions (trust, commitment, reputation, communication, and cooperation) among SMEs in Slovenia. A total of 120 SMEs operating in different industries participated in an online survey conducted in March 2020, and their answers were analyzed using linear regression techniques. The results confirmed the direct effects of gender, experience, and education on certain strategic networking dimensions, while position did not prove to have such an effect. The results additionally confirmed several moderation effects of analyzed demographic variables. These findings contribute significantly to the field, offering both theoretical insights and practical recommendations for management.
