Small and medium enterprises have important contributions to the development of nations. The implementation of a strategy that promotes innovation is vital for business performances. This study aims to predict the impact of business strategy and innovations on the market and financial performances of the business. The online survey was used to collect the data from the managers of manufacturing SMEs of an emerging market, Thailand. A total of 392 valid data set were received from the participants of the study. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has been used to analyze the data. The results of the study show that business strategy, process, product, and organizational innovations are important antecedents that improve small and medium enterprises performances. However, the results depict that organizational performance has an insignificant effect on firm financial performance. The study contributed to the literature of resource-based view theory and provide useful implications to the managers related to business strategy and innovations that improve market and financial performances of the SMEs in the emerging markets.

Małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa mają istotny wkład w rozwój narodów. Wdrożenie strategii promującej innowacyjność ma kluczowe znaczenie dla wyników biznesowych. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu przewidzenie wpływu strategii biznesowej i innowacji na wyniki rynkowe i finansowe przedsiębiorstwa. . Ankieta internetowa została wykorzystana do zebrania danych od menedżerów MŚP produkcyjnych na rynku wschodzącym w Tajlandii. Od uczestników badania otrzymano łącznie 392 aktualne zestawy danych. Do analizy danych wykorzystano modelowanie cząstkowych równań strukturalnych metodą najmniejszych kwadratów (PLS-SEM). Wyniki badania pokazują, że innowacje w zakresie strategii biznesowej, procesów, produktów i organizacji są ważnymi poprzednikami poprawiającymi wyniki małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw. Wyniki pokazują jednak, że wyniki organizacyjne mają nieznaczny wpływ na wyniki finansowe firmy. Badanie wniosło wkład w literaturę dotyczącą teorii poglądów opartych na zasobach i dostarczyło przydatnych implikacji dla menedżerów związanych ze strategią biznesową i innowacjami, które poprawiają wyniki rynkowe i finansowe MŚP na rynkach wschodzących.
