Abstract

This study looked at how market innovation affected SMEs' performance in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, with the use of government support programmes as a moderator. The study's meta-analysis will be guided by the Schumpeter innovation theory, which also incorporates the diffusion of innovation theory, expectancy theory, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, absorptive capacity theory, resource-based view/theory, dynamic capability theory, R-A theory, and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The researcher used an effect size approach based on a forest and funnel plot to scan, exclude, and include relevant material. Researchers discovered a connection between the Dimension of Innovation and company performance on the basis of an extensive literature review. Also Based on the studied literature, the researcher discovered a link between the moderation of the government support programme and the performance of SMEs' firms in the area of innovation. To carry out this study, an exploratory sequential mixed research design will be used. Based on the current literature, the study attempts to create a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. It was discovered that the impact of marketing innovation on a firm's performance was moderated by government support programmes. Businesses must be encouraged to adopt government support programmes with a moderating influence as a result.
