    Is sustainable performance in MSMEs driven by entrepreneurial orientation through knowledge management and dynamic capabilities?
    (Emerald Publishing, 2025) Mishra, R.; K.b, K.
    Purpose – Despite the extensive focus on entrepreneurial orientation (EO), its full impact on environmental, social and economic performance remains ambiguous. This study aims to clarify EO’s influence on enterprise sustainability. In addition, it investigates how knowledge management (KM) and dynamic capabilities (DCs) serve as serial mediators between EO and the sustainable performance (SP) of manufacturing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Design/methodology/approach – The proposed model’s relationships were investigated using data from 238 Indian MSMEs, collected through a standardized cross-sectional survey. A disjoint two-stage structural equation modeling (SEM) path analysis was used to derive valuable insights from the data. Findings – The findings indicate that EO’s dire impact on SP is statistically insignificant. However, through the mediating roles of KM and DCs, EO exerts a significant indirect influence. EO fosters KM processes that, in turn, enhance DCs, enabling MSMEs to innovate, recognize opportunities and manage risks effectively. This highlights the essential pathways through which EO contributes to achieving SP. Research limitations/implications – These findings offer practical guidance for MSME entrepreneurs, administrators and scholars on implementing KM and DC strategies to strengthen SP and foster long-term competitive advantage. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies to examine the serial mediation of KM and DC in the EO–SP relationship within Indian MSMEs. By integrating the dynamic capability view (DCV), knowledge-based view (KBV) and triple bottom line (TBL) framework, this study provides novel theoretical insight and responds to recent calls for deeper exploration of how strategic enablers shape sustainability outcomes in emerging economies. © 2025 Emerald Publishing Limited

    Unveiling the dynamic capabilities' influence on sustainable performance in MSMEs: a systematic literature review utilizing ADO-TCM analysis
    (Emerald Publishing, 2025) Mishra, R.; Kiran, K.B.
    Purpose: This research endeavors to conduct a thorough and holistic analysis of the foundational elements that empower the cultivation of dynamic capabilities in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The purpose of this study is to determine whether these capabilities have a noticeable impact on the sustainable performance of these enterprises. The study aims to support future research efforts in understanding this phenomenon by filling this knowledge gap and presenting a conceptual framework, thereby enhancing the scholarly discourse in this field. Design/methodology/approach: The study consists of a systematic review of 126 articles meticulously chosen through a series of screening stages employing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. This examination is conducted within the organized framework of antecedents, decisions and outcomes-theory, context and methods (ADO-TCM), ensuring a structured and comprehensive analysis. Findings: The study uncovers significant insights, identifying four key antecedents: resource base, organizational learning, managerial expertise and external environment management. These factors are instrumental in fostering dynamic capabilities within the enterprise, leading to sustainable entrepreneurial success and a competitive advantage over rivals. Research limitations/implications: By comprehending the mechanisms by which dynamic capabilities are established within the enterprise, this study provides a valuable resource for entrepreneurs, professionals and managers, offering them practical insights to leverage. Originality/value: This systematic literature review is the initial attempt to explain how dynamic capabilities can be used to enhance and accomplish sustainable performance in the context of MSMEs. © 2024, Emerald Publishing Limited.
