Findings

This research paper concentrates on the links between SME financial performance, business ties, and political ties. Business ties were revealed to be the fundamental microfoundations of formal strategic planning (FSP), by significantly boosting firms' financial performance. However, political ties were revealed to be something to avoid, in emerging market like Turkey, due to their distracting negative influence of firm performance. SMEs can overcome some of the disadvantages of their size by involving positive influence external parties in strategic work, to support internal stakeholders.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
