Understanding business performance drivers and challenges faced by small firms in this context may have important theoretical and practical implications. We explore the determinants of small firms’ business performance in Cuba. We combine a capabilities and institutional perspective on entrepreneurship to explain small firms’ business performance in this turbulent transitional market. Specifically, we suggest that managerial capabilities, supply-chain problems, and institutional factors explain small firms’ business performance. We contribute to both the small firm and entrepreneurship literature by contextualizing capabilities and institutional perspectives to identify the critical role played by managerial capabilities and supply-chain problems in economies where supply is constrained.The work was supported by the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para elDesarrollo [A/4633/5] and the Agencia Estatal de Investigación [PID2019-105198GB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033]Taylor and Francis GroupGestión de EmpresasEnpresen KudeaketaInstitute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE2024info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2454/51545reponame:Academica-e.

We explore the determinants of small firms’ business performance in Cuba. We combine a capabilities and institutional perspective on entrepreneurship to explain small firms’ business performance in this turbulent transitional market.
