Abstract
- This study aims to enhance the existing conceptual framework in order to assist SMEs in attaining sustainable business growth by enhancing their performance in a sustainable manner. This study entails a systematic analysis of the existing body of literature pertaining to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The 105 research papers included in the analysis have been categorized based on their geographical distribution, paper type, major theme, and theoretical underpinnings. Subsequently, a thorough thematic analysis was conducted. This study introduces a conceptual framework that facilitates the development of sustainable business growth, thereby assisting SMEs in mitigating the impact of uncertain occurrences or shocks. SMEs that actively engage in the adoption of sustainable business growth have the potential to create innovative pathways for business growth and gain a competitive edge. The literature highlights the unexpected and unanticipated challenges experienced by SMEs, and the subsequent development of methods to address these severe disruptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
