“…This logically implies that organizations that have an EO will have a large tendency to implement high-quality, innovative and sustainable management strategies. The implementation of the TQM concept will have many obstacles without EO being owned by each member of the organization (Imran et al, 2018). This is supported by previous findings (Abdullah Kaid Al-Swidi, 2012), which states that EO and TQM are two things that cannot be separated to build a sustainable business performance of MSMEs.…”

Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and Total Quality Management (TQM) are often referred to as antecedents of growth, competitive advantage and business performance by previous research. This research is the first investigation in a literature study that attempts to show the relationship between EO and TQM concepts on business performance. In this study, we use a multidimensional model on EO and TQM concepts and test a series of hypotheses related to business performance using student business data surveys in the MSMEs scale of Surabaya, East Java. It is expected that the results of this study can answer prepositional questions, whether the two strategies can help improve the performance of MSME-scale businesses in developing countries.

“…Total quality management practices (TQMP) and supply chain management practices (SCMP) both are management philosophies to achieve customer satisfaction and optimal performance (Gunasekaran et al, 2001;Vanichchinchai, 2014;Vanichchinchai & Igel, 2011). However classical approaches of quality management emphasized on specification based performance and defect free products (Prajogo & Sohal, 2001;Vanichchinchai & Igel, 2011;Imran et al, 2018a;Imran et al, 2018b).…”

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between total quality management practices (TQMP), supply chain management practices (SCMP), information technology capabilities, supply chain technology adoption and firm supply performance. In addition, the study also tries to investigate the mediating role of information technology capabilities and supply chain technology adoption in the relationship between TQMP, SCMP, and firm supply performance. The study is carried out on a sample of textile firms of Pakistan. To achieve the research objective, Smart PLS-3 is used for the analysis of the data gathered from the textile firms of Pakistan. The results of the study show a great deal of agreement with the hypothesized results. The information technology capabilities, supply chain technology adoption both appear to play mediators between TQMP, SCMP, and firm supply performance. The results of the study will be useful for policymakers and researchers to understand the emerging role of technology in strategic management and operational management.

“…The lack of research in knowledge management in Pakistan has caused SMEs to focus less in this area. This area is less known to managers and entrepreneurs because there is a lack of awareness regarding its benefits though knowledge management processes have huge impact on the success of the firms particularly in SMEs due to its low-cost impacts (Imran, Aziz, & Hamid, 2017;Imran et al, 2018). A quick study is required in this field in SMEs because of huge importance it is gaining as a resource in organizations.…”

Knowledge management is a new concept that is why it is gaining increased attention among small and large organizations. In this study three important knowledge management practices are discussed and the necessary insights regarding knowledge management processes and their positive impacts within an organization are provided. The study also brings forth the relationships which knowledge management processes have with radical innovation in small and medium enterprises. The explanatory method of research and quantitative type of research to test the hypothesis of research was used to carry out the study and survey type was involved by using questionnaire. The knowledge management and innovation instruments were adapted from previous researchers. This study's target population consisted of small and medium-sized enterprises that included service sectors in Quetta, Balochistan. A convenient sampling was applied to collect the necessary data from SMEs. A total of 850 firms were communicated and requested to participate in this survey but 300 (35.6% response rate) accepted to fill out the survey questionnaire. The study utilized structural equation modelling to examine numerous complex cause and effect relationships between variables. The results indicate a positive association between Knowledge management processes and radical innovation. The positive link between Knowledge management processes and innovation indicates the importance and value of knowledge management in achieving competitive advantage through innovation.
