In terms of the sources of competitive advantages have been studied in different views such as the resource-based view which is to explain using firms’ valuable resources, the knowledge-based view which is to claim through knowledge creation and diffusion, and environment-based view which is to prospect external environment of firms. In order to explain firms’ performance, this study conducted empirical analysis using mechanism-based view which is to assure dynamic competitiveness. We carried out empirical test in order to analyze effects on the firms’ performance of subject, environment, resource, and mechanism factors by the stages of firms’ growth. We used 150 firm level samples which are consisted of 41 start-up stage, 77 growth stage, and 32 maturity stage companies. Our results showed that the subject’s experience factors have effects on the firms’ performance in the start-up stage and environment factors have significant effects to the business records in the growth and maturity stage rather than start-up stage.
