Abstract
SMEs have an essential role in driving the economics of Thailand, especially
the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing SMEs are regarded as a significant sector for
long-term development because they can play an important role in sustainable
economic development, which can reduce the dependency on foreign investment.
However, manufacturing SMEs suffer from low performance compared to SMEs in
the service and trade sector. Therefore, this research aimed to study the factors
affecting the performance of manufacturing SMEs based on organizational resource
theory, such as the resource-based view and population ecology theory. The research
design was mix-method, composed of multiple linear regression and in-depth
interviews. The quantitative methods used identified the factors affecting the
performance of manufacturing SMEs, and the qualitative method aimed to confirm,
expand, and explain the reasons why these factors have an influence on firm
performance. In the last chapter, the findings from the two methodologies will be
discussed and recommendations for government agencies will be presented.
