Abstract
The growing SMEs have been recognized as the backbone of economies. SMEs business growth in various sectors is emphasized more by the governments of all developing nations to achieve the status of developed or high-income nations. Both internal and external factors have the influence on SMEs business growth. However, this paper will focus more on the influence of innovative practices of SMEs for their business growth. The innovative practices are critical for the growth of SMEs businesses in both developed and developing countries. This study will also look at the two main antecedents of innovative practices, i.e, market orientation, and technology orientation. It will also attempt to investigate the moderating influence of culture (individualism-collectivism). Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual model by considering the market orientation and technology orientation as antecedents of innovative practices while examining the organizational culture (individualism-collectivism) as a moderator in the relationship between innovative practices and SMEs business growth. Therefore, a literature review of relevant topics has been conducted in order to develop the conceptual model and its hypotheses. Study limitations and future recommendations are also discussed.
