Abstract

This study aims to analyze empirically the impact of strategic orientation (OE) on organizational performance (DO) considering the mediating effect of intellectual capital (CI). The analysis was conducted using a quantitative methodology with descriptive and correlational scope, considering a sample of 1572 manufacturing companies in Colombia from the information provided in the Encuesta de Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica de la Industria Manufacturera (EDIT) in the period of time 2017-2018. The results evidence that there is a positive and significant relationship between OE and DO in a direct and CI-mediated way. This research provides empirical evidence on how OE impacts DO, both directly and through CI, also, practical implications are generated for organizational decision making leading to the achievement of the proposed objectives and obtaining competitive advantages
