    Abstract

    The aim of this study is to discuss, from a theoretical and an empirical perspective, the linkage between a group of intangible resources and performance in Spanish SMEs (small to medium enterprises). The relationship between intangibles (reputation, quality, participative managerial style and strategic attitude) and performance was tested using hierarchical segmentation as an alternative methodology. This study is one of the first attempts of using hierarchical segmentation modelling to monitor the relationship between intangible resources and performance in Spanish SMEs. The results of the empirical study are statistically significant and show a positive relationship between a group of intangible resources and organisational performance.
