(2) What is the relationship between market orientation and entrepreneurial learning intensity?; and (3) To what extent could entrepreneurial learning intensity enhance the relationship of market orientation – entrepreneurial success? Drawing on marketing and learning literature, we proposed that market orientation and entrepreneurial learning intensity influence entrepreneurial success. Based on resource-advantage theory, we believed that market orientation and entrepreneurial learning intensity are complementary resources in enhancing the capability of firms to gain competitive advantage. Through a simple mediation analysis, we posited that market orientation positively impact entrepreneurial success through entrepreneurial learning intensity. Based on data collected, by using questionnaire survey involving 125 owners of established small and medium-sized service enterprises around Malaysia, findings confirmed that market orientation, entrepreneurial learning intensity and entrepreneurial success are significantly related. Entrepreneurial learning intensity partially mediated the relationship between market orientation and entrepreneurial success. Lastly, discussion and implications of the research findings are provided in understanding the scenario of entrepreneurial success of small and medium-sized service enterprises in Malaysia.
