    abstract = {This conceptual study provides a proposed research framework about the relationship between
entrepreneurial orientation, learning orientation, technology orientation and firm performance. The study also
intends to investigate the moderating role of access to debt finance in the relationship between entrepreneurial
orientation, learning orientation, technology orientation and performance. The research framework is developed
through a synthesis of previous literature on these variables. Based on the research framework, it is stated that
although entrepreneurial orientation, learning orientation and technology orientation all have significant effects
on firm performance but the effects will be more significant when supported by access to debt finance. At the
end of this study, the findings will be beneficial to business practitioners and/or management, policy makers
and future researchers in the field of strategic management and entrepreneurship.}
