This study looked at how market innovation affected SMEs' performance in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, with the use of government support programs as a moderator. The study's meta-analysis will be guided by the Schumpeter innovation theory, which also incorporates the diffusion of innovation theory, expectancy theory, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, absorptive capacity theory, resource-based view/theory, dynamic capability theory, R-A theory, and a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The researcher used an effect size approach based on a forest and funnel plot to scan, exclude, and include relevant material. Researchers discovered a connection between the dimension of innovation and company performance on the basis of an extensive literature review. Also Based on the studied literature, the researcher discovered a link between the moderation of the government support program and the performance of SMEs' firms in the area of innovation. To carry out this study, an exploratory sequential mixed-methods research design will be used. Based on the current literature, the study attempts to create a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. It was discovered that the impact of marketing innovation on a firm's performance was moderated by government support programs. Businesses must be encouraged to adopt government support programs with a moderating influence as a result.

This study aims to examine the indirect impact of supply chain management (SCM) in its five dimensions (supplier relationship, customer relationship, information sharing, information quality and postponement) on the competitive advantage in its five dimensions (Cost, Quality, Delivery Time, flexibility, and innovation) through supply chain responsiveness as a mediator. Furthermore, 234 questionnaires were distributed in food processing industries. The total of 215 questionnaires was analyzed. For a robust result, we conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using Varimax rotation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to check the scale. Furthermore, we test validation of the second-order construct. Structural equations modelling (SEM) using AMOS 24 was used to test the hypotheses. The results of analysis show that the supply chain management practice (SCMP) has a positive and statistically significant influence on supply chain responsiveness (β = 0.909, p-value = 0.000) and the competitive advantage of firms with the standardized coefficient of (β= 0.639, p-value = 0.000). Similarly, the supply chain responsiveness has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage by (β = 0.352, p-value = 0.000), on the other hand, supply chain management practice (SCMP) has a significant indirect effect on competitive advantage by (β = 0.320, p-value = 0.000) through supply chain responsiveness. Accordingly, we suggest that managers of food processing should properly manage their supply chain management practice, develop a responsive supply chain to gain a competitive advantage. But this study was limited only to food processing with plc and Share Company.

In this study, the performance of SMEs in Ethiopia was examined in relation to market innovation. The most recent international papers on market innovation served as a guidance for the study's meta-analysis. To scan, exclude, and include pertinent content, the researchers employed the effect size approach based on a forest and funnel plot. Based on a thorough literature assessment, researchers founded a link between the market Innovation and firm performance. Also based on the reviewed literature, the researcher found a connection between the government support program's moderation and the success of SMEs firms in the field of market innovation. An exploratory sequential mixed research methodology was used to conduct this study. The researchers used a forest plot to determine the effect size of the material they had read. Additionally, a funnel plot was used to account for publication bias.  The study makes an effort to provide a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses based on the available literature. Market innovation has been shown to affect a firm's success.
