Ponieważ korzystanie z doradztwa biznesowego w ostatnim czasie osiągnęło znaczący poziom wśród małych firm innowacyjnych, wskazane jest obserwowanie jego wpływu na rezultaty ich działalności. Należy jednocześnie wskazać, iż pomimo znaczącej ilości badań dostępnej w tym obszarze brak jest kompleksowego modelu, który umożliwia analizę doradztwa biznesowego w kontekście procesu przedsiębiorczego realizowanego w dynamicznym środowisku. Dlatego w niniejszym artykule podjęta została próba opracowania teoretycznego modelu bazującego na podejściu zasobowym oraz podejściu dynamicznych zdolności (dynamic capabilities), które stanowią podstawę analizy roli doradcy biznesowego w rozwoju przewagi konkurencyjnej poprzez proces przedsiębiorczy. Występujące w modelu oddzielenie „wpływu” i „oddziaływania” rozbudowuje możliwości opisu naukowego zaangażowania doradcy biznesowego w odniesieniu do decyzji strategicznych. Dodatkowo iteracyjne podejście do procesu daje możliwość analizy wpływu doradztwa zarówno w krótkim, jak i w długim czasie, a także oceny jego trwałości.

As the use of business advice has become recently considerably high among small innovative firms, the need to recognize its impact on firm’s performance is observed. Despite a considerable amount of studies is available on this subject, the lack of comprehensive model, which enable analysis of business advice in the context of an entrepreneurial process taking place in the dynamic environment, has been identified. Therefore an attempt has been made to develop a theoretical model based on resource based view and dynamic capabilities approach, which provide a logic base for analysis of business advisor’s role in development of competitive advantage within an entrepreneurial process. A modelled separation of the influence and the impact brings in the important consequences in indicating business advisor’s involvement in relation to strategic decisions and thus directions of firms development. Additionally, an iterative approach to the process gives an opportunity to analyse a short as well as a long term impact and its durability.
