Marlon O. Sierra

Discipline: business studies

 

Abstract:

This study develops an innovative enterprise model for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) by examining successful businesses in Albay to understand their strategies for overcoming business challenges and achieving sustainable growth. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation from 10 SMEs in Albay, focusing on eleven key business areas including leadership, strategic planning, and financial performance. A descriptive-evaluative case study approach was used, drawing on William Lazonick’s Theory of Innovative Enterprise, the SECI Model, and the Plan-Do-Check- Act (PDCA) cycle. The research identified adaptive leadership, strategic innovation, strong core values, technology utilization, and robust networks as critical success factors. Key challenges included supply chain management, product quality, adapting to market changes, employee retention, and financial constraints. These were addressed through proactive strategies and partnerships. The primary outcome is a practical enterprise model that integrates success factors and an adaptive approach, providing actionable insights for SME growth and resilience in the evolving economic conditions of the province of Albay.
