The present research in terms of purpose is practical and regarding the data collection method is descriptive-survey. It has been examined the impact of the strategic orientation on the performance of the new product development. The statistical population of the study consisted of the 260 furniture retailers and providers. Using the Cochran formula and the simple- random sampling method, 155 individuals were selected as the sample size. The required data were collected through standard questionnaires. To analyse data and examine the hypotheses, the Structural Equation Modeling method (SEM) using Partial Least Squares method (PLS) has been applied. The research findings indicate that the strategic orientation influences the performance of the new product development. It was also concluded that the market trending, technological orientation, entrepreneurial orientation and network orientation have a significant effect on the performance of the new product development.
