What the paper says
Amid the rapid technological progress, the global economy has evolved into a knowledge-based paradigm.Central to an organisation's strategic success lies networking capability.Accordingly, this study aims to analyse the relationship between networking capability and strategic performance in SMEs, while examining the mediating role of knowledge sharing.Data was collected through 475 questionnaires via random sampling from SMEs in Turkey, focusing on those grappling with economic volatility.The results indicate a positive correlation between networking capability and strategic performance, with knowledge sharing serving as a mediator.Furthermore, economic stability acts as a moderating factor in the relationship between networking capability and strategic performance.Our research introduces a strategic performance model that underscores the interconnected influences of networking capabilities, knowledge sharing, and economic stability.This study provides valuable insights for top management by elucidating the mechanisms through which networking capability aids SMEs in achieving strategic objectives.Given the critical role of economic stability in the digital age, our study employs it as a key moderator.
