Introduction
Background and Rationale
According to Lande, Seth, and Shrivastava (2019), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered an essential part of any economy. They are regarded as the critical part of business growth and innovation; thus, the sector attracts several attempts that help support the industry from several industry stakeholders, including governments, researchers and policymakers. The increased attention is also partly contributed by the globalization of the economy and increasingly severe competition. A study by Sefiani and Brown (2013) also observes that the SME sector is considerably diverse and covers all industry sectors, thus is considered an effective mechanism to generate employment for economic growth. To this extent, the SMEs have significantly received attention from business, political and management research areas. However, even with such efforts, there is still a lack of a universal definition of SMEs. Lampadarios (2016) also observes that there are significant variations concerning the concept of success based on different jurisdictions.
Lande, Seth, and Shrivastava (2019) report that in the U.K., SMEs remain the backbone of the economy, accounting for 90% of businesses and providing nearly 60% of employment, which contributes to about 50% of the GDP. The SMEs role is evident in the presence in the economic structure of the country with the top share being taken by real estate, renting and business activities (28%), construction (19%), transport, storage and communication (12%), other social, community and personal activities (12%), wholesale and retail trade (10%), health and social work (7%), manufacturing (6%), hotels and restaurant (4%), and agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing (3%) (Statist, 2021). According to Lande, Seth, and Shrivastava (2019), the U.K. is part of several trade agreements globally; this makes it possible for the U.K. to serve a global market. As such, the U.K. SMEs must adapt to the worldwide business environments by engaging in the processes and strategies that ensure business success. Based on the data provided that hotels and restaurants need to note the socio-economic importance, the U.K. government should also put measures in place to promote the market segment.
As Effiom and Edet (2018) mentioned, several success factors based on particular conceptual frameworks feature in the contemporary research works; however, the author notes the absence of a standard theory that encompasses the critical aspects of small business success. Also, Hung et al. (2011) describe that this situation is exacerbated by the fact that the importances mentioned above appear to be relative and changes based on the SMEs’ environment. To this extent, it is evident that while one success aspect could be critical in a given environment, it may not necessarily be relevant in a different environment. Chittithaworn et al. (2011) add that since SMEs have a considerably high tendency for failure and insufficient performance levels created the need for more empirical investigation on the critical factors of SMEs success in various business settings to help create a unifying theoretical model for SMEs success.
Because of the concerns mentioned earlier, this study endeavours to investigate the facts that contribute to the success of SME restaurants in The North West of England. The study explores the definitions of success of the SMEs from the perspective of the SMEs. To this extent, the study develops a conceptual framework that categorizes success factors in entrepreneurial, enterprise and business environments.
