Summary: | The purpose of the study is to propose a research
framework that examine the relationship between
marketing capabilities, resources acquisition capabilities, risk management capabilities and opportunity recognition capabilities for achieving better SMEs performance. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a framework for SMEs performance and moderating role of ORC. Similarly, the paper offers theoretical contributions by providing more understanding of the effect of MC, RAC, RMC and moderating effect of ORC on SMEs performance. Furthermore, the framework fills in the missing links, as
