A Systematic Review of Enterprise Performance

Abstract

This paper reviews the current literature and analyzes what factors effectively affect enterprise performance. The purpose of this study is realized by profiling existing literature to understand the determinants of enterprise performance, research trends, theories, and future research opportunities. After carefully utilizing relevant academic-based research databases and examining the extents of literature, a total of 108 papers published in peer-reviewed journals over the last decade were analyzed and reviewed using a systematic literature review with NvivoR1. The articles were mainly from Emerald, Elsevier, Sage Publishing, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley. This study classified the factors that affect enterprise performance into two categories: internal and external factors. The internal factors studied most affect business innovation, while the external factors are government policy. This study provides recommendations for future research to examine other variables that the previous study has not widely used. Small and medium enterprises need to improve variables that impact the most to enterprise performance, such as innovation and adaptation to government policy.
