The Interdependencies Between Organisational Capabilities and Consistent Growth

This research broadly aims to look into the degree to which (i) embedding the characteristics of innovation and growth acceptance, (ii) adoption of digital technologies, (iii) dynamic capabilities (iv) entrepreneurial ecosystem characteristics and (v) data literacy increase SME firm performance, namely productivity and profitability. The initial research constructs have been determined as business growth, business performance, dynamic capabilities, external funding, firm demographics, growth strategy, human capital, innovation capacity, leadership and management, social capital, technology adoption and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This research aims to develop an instrument that facilitates our recognition of the indicators of sustainable dynamic and innovation capabilities development and of consistent SME growth. This recognition is expected to improve our understanding and awareness of the measures and parameters to identify growth potential on the foundation of our research constructs and to improve the effectiveness of internal and external resource allocation in the effort to support the survival and consistent growth of SMEs. We will be able to identify the patterns of the blind spots of productivity, innovation, dynamic capabilities, data literacy skills and productivity that create inconsistencies in the growth pattern and rate.
