Unveiling the influence of social network characteristics on sustainable performance in small and medium-sized enterprises: A dynamic capabilities perspective.

ABSTRACT: Gaining a deeper understanding of the mechanism through which social networks influence sustainable performance and exploring the role of resource bricolage in enhancing competitiveness are valuable. These insights can help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) better adapt to market changes in the digital age and ultimately, this can enable SMEs to achieve sustainable development. In the context of accelerated technological change and resource scarcity, the question of how SMEs can leverage network resources to achieve sustainable growth has become a pressing issue. This study, grounded in social network theory and resource-based theory, develops a theoretical model exploring the relationships between social network characteristics, resource bricolage, and SME sustainable performance.
