H3a and H4a propose that technological capabilities and leader strategic competences respectively have a positive impact on the speed of growth actions. Model 3 and Model 4 show positive and significant results for technological capabilities (b = 0.22, p b 0.05; b = 0.22, p b 0.05) and leader strategic competences (b = 0.35, p b 0.01; b = 0.35, p b 0.01). Thus, H3a and H4a receive support
