With 236 valid responses of middle and senior managers conveniently selected from the member list of the Southern, Hanoi and Danang Small and Medium Enterprises Association, the data was cleaned, and SEM linear structural model analysis. With 6 hypotheses proposed, the results show that CI and SC have a positive impact on MAI, while MAI as a mediate role has a positive impact on business performance of SMEs.
