Abstract
Entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation, and network ties are considered as separate antecedents for performance of enterprises in the developing countries of like Pakistan. Majority of the researchers have highlighted that access to finance is the only main issue behind poor performance. The performance of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) is affected because most of the entrepreneurs ignore Market Orientation (MO), Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), and network ties. The impact of entrepreneurial and market orientation differs on the basis of network ties. This research is to identify the moderating effect of network ties on the relationship between EO, MO, and performance of MSEs. For collection of data, a structured questionnaire was adopted. This study employed Smart PLS 3 for analyzing the relationship between EO, MO and performance of MSEs. The research concluded that network ties have a significant moderating impact on the relationship between market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and performance of MSEs in Pakistan.
