Abstract

This study aims to propose a framework for strengthening the performance of SMEs. It was identified that knowledge management, market orientation, competitive environment and access to finance are some of the effective tools employed by SMEs against large firms for their survival. A model was developed with the help of extensive literature review, thereby identifying the gaps to come up with four propositions. All four of these propositions were exhibited with a graphical model. The findings of this study suggest that Knowledge Management and Market Orientation have a strong association with SMEs Performance. The model further proposes that Access to Finance and Competitive Environment serve as a contingency between Knowledge Management and Market Orientation with SMEs Performance. This study significantly adds to the entrepreneurship literature and proposes a framework that has not been tested before. The theoretical model has a wider applicability and it can be used in any cultural context but it can prove more helpful in emerging economies.

通过知识管理、市场导向和竞争环境提升中小企业绩效
本研究旨在提出一个强化中小企业绩效的框架。经确认,知识管理、市场导向、竞争环境和获得资金是中小企业为生存而对大公司采取的一些有效工具。在广泛的文献回顾的帮助下,建立了一个模型,从而确定了差距,提出了四个主张。这四个命题都用图形模型来展示。本研究发现,知识管理与市场导向对中小企业绩效有显著影响。该模型进一步提出融资渠道和竞争环境在知识管理和市场导向对中小企业绩效的影响之间起着偶然性的作用。这项研究显著地增加了创业文献,并提出了一个以前未经过测试的框架。该理论模型具有更广泛的适用性,可以在任何文化背景下使用,但在新兴经济体中可能更有帮助。
