ium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in the economic development of nations. Therefore, it is vital to evaluate the performance of SMEs to sLinkoping Studies in Science and TechnologyDissertation No. 1364SME Performance and Its Relationship to InnovationAdli Abou/.eedanLinkõpings universit AFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mgg important non-ftnancial parameters. They look at SMEs as a homogenous group, downplaying the variations in size. age. location, and business sector. They consider firms to be closed systems, and undermine the significance of networking mechanisms in the promotion and enhancement of SME performance AFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mg. They do not directly incorporate the impact of an enterprise’s innovation activities. Finally, their complexity and reliance on sophisticated statisAFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mg

(3) How can a firm’s innovation activities be enhanced in relation to the firm’s external environment? In this dissertation, I tried to address these questions using a conceptual analysis, as well as empirical investigation utilizing a case s AFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mgtudy approach.A number of challenges arise when one tries to build SME performance models that lack the deficiencies stated above. There are four majoAFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mg
r challenges. The first challenge is that the desired performance evaluation model must optimally incorporate both quantitative and qualitative input,Linkoping Studies in Science and TechnologyDissertation No. 1364SME Performance and Its Relationship to InnovationAdli Abou/.eedanLinkõpings universit AFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mgevaluation models. The third is that the model must consider the variety of SMEs as concerns their busmess sectors, nationalities, sizes, and ages. The final challenge is that the model must be able to utilize existing limited information available from the SMEs bookkeeping practices in an optimal w AFQjCNHBW5RwxtJVOV0hWNlosc4AqW78mgay.To construct a model that copes with these challenges.
