Innovation is defined as the process of producing developing new products and services for significant positive change, innovation is a crucial driver of economic growth and societal progress. Aim of this paper is to analyze the direct, indirect, and total effects of exogenous variables product innovation, process innovation, and organizational innovation, with the mediating effects of organizational innovation capability and dynamic capability on endogenous variable firm performance. In the context of Resource Based view theory organizational achievement is defined with reference to utilization resources, proficiencies to achieve competitive advantage, sustainable and viable. In the framework of this concepts, innovation which leads to shape resources capabilities for better performance in pharmaceutical manufacturing firms of Sindh. Path analysis approach is incorporated for analyzing multivariate causal effect, a five-point Likert scale, and a pretested, closed ended questionnaire was used for feedback of responses. Cluster sampling technique is incorporated for compilation of data, by using SPSS 25 version software for demographic statistics, and PLS 3.5.V for inferential statistics. Direct, indirect, and total effects is significantly positive, except PI > to DC > is insignificantly associated with firm performance. Partial mediation is established by the, product innovation, and organizational innovation through organization innovation capability and dynamic capability with firm performance.The limitation only cover the pharmaceutical manufacturing firms al so limitations are expelled various variables of firm performance because of limited time. Beside these limitations, this study provides direction to top management and policymakers for enhancing of performance of manufacturing firms of Sindh.

“…The authors' findings underline that each KMP has a different influence on performance; they also showed the mediating role of organisational learning in these relationships. Similarly, among biotechnology SMEs based in the Netherlands, Bloem and Salimi (2022) analysed the role of different KMPs (i.e. knowledge acquisition, conversion, application and protection) play in each phase of innovation.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to structure existing research on knowledge management (KM) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to offer a comprehensive overview of research strands and topics in KM in SMEs to determine their evolution over time. Design/methodology/approach The paper, which is considered a follow-up literature review, is based on a systematic literature review that covers 180 scientific papers that were published since the review paper by Durst and Edvardsson in 2012 that covered 36 papers. Findings The findings of this review and those of the aforementioned review are brought together in the form of an overview that structures research on KM in SMEs based on themes that, in turn, allow the derivation of promising research directions and research questions aimed at structuring future research on KM in SMEs. Originality/value By combining the findings of this review with the findings from the review published in this journal in 2012, this paper offers, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the most comprehensive literature review on KM in SMEs produced to date.

“…Competent business owners recognize knowledge as a fundamental resource for firms to achieve growth, development and competitive advantage (Tehseen and Ramayah, 2015;Ismail, 2022), while a lack of knowledge leads some entrepreneurs to be un-innovative, risk-averse and unenthusiastic about their work, unproductive and neither willing nor able to acquire new competencies (Pepple and Enuoh, 2020). Besides, knowledge dissemination within a firm makes it challenging for others to replicate its capabilities and competencies, highlighting the importance of this practice for success (Bloem and Salimi, 2022). KM processes, such as knowledge acquisition, dissemination of knowledge and knowledge application, are critical for boosting corporate sustainable development (Abbas and Sa gsan, 2019).…”

Purpose By combining relevant literature and using quantitative methodology, this study aims to look into the role of knowledge management (KM) as a mediator between entrepreneurial competencies (ECs) and the sustainable performance (SP) of manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach The relationships in the proposed model were examined with data collected from 122 Malaysian SMEs using a cross-sectional technique and a standardized questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling path analysis. Findings According to the findings, ECs have a positive and considerable impact on KM as well as the SP of manufacturing SMEs. Importantly, KM partially mediates between ECs and the SP of manufacturing SMEs. Research limitations/implications This research provides a theoretical contribution through the integration of ECs, KM and SP within a unified framework that takes into account the viewpoints of the resource-based view, the knowledge-based view and the triple bottom line. The results corroborate that ECs directly affect SP and indirectly through KM. Nevertheless, the study’s use of cross-sectional survey data makes it impossible to draw conclusions about causes. This is because ECs, KM and SP all have effects on time that this empirical framework cannot account for. Practical implications The findings of this research provide valuable insights for managers and decision-makers in SMEs, who are expected to show an increasing interest in adopting KM processes into their companies through which ECs can be translated into SP. Social implications By applying the proposed framework, SMEs can conduct their activities in ways that do not harm environmental and societal well-being while achieving appropriate economic performance at the same time. Originality/value As a result, the findings of this study can add to the literature on ECs and KM, as well as boost the chances of SME sustainability. Directions for future research are also provided in relation to a better understanding of the factors affecting the SP of SMEs.
