Purpose of the study: The objective of the study was to examine the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in SMEs, by enabling them to benchmark their progress, overcome the barriers, and meet the challenges. In contrast to most previous studies, this research examined the TQM practices-performance relationships by investigating the effects of TQM practices on the performance of Omani SMEs. Methodology: A survey was performed on 200 respondents from selected SMEs in Oman. Statistical software, SPSS 15.0 was used to process the data, which consisted of chi-square test of independence for a contingency table and correspondence analysis. The hypotheses were examined at two significance levels: α = 0.01, 0.05. Other statistical tests (e.g., path analysis and structural equation modeling), which are inherently more powerful than those used in the present study, could not be used due to the small population size. Main Findings: It was revealed that leadership factor was the most critical strategic factor and was vital in ensuring a successful implementation of TQM in an organization. The other elements that were considered as critical are quality goals and policy, continuous improvement, and organizational culture. Implications of this study: The suggestions from the SMEs allow the relevant Omani agency to design an effective TQM policy to increase the performance. Novelty of this study: This study demonstrates the steps that need to be taken by the management of Omani Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to succeed. The findings enables the Omani SMEs’ management to plan the phases ahead of time to be familiar with the circumstances and take suitable action to rise above any obstacle that they would confront in their journey.

Abstract In strategy competition, innovation must be clear and precise in accordance with consumer demand and expectations. Limited organizational resources require organizations to manage innovation clearly. The company's efforts to change or increase product output, both from its processes and services, are interpreted as innovation. This study aims to examine the effect of total quality management on company performance with two approaches, additional innovation and radical innovation. The hypothesis was tested from data collected from 108 food and beverage SMEs registered at the Indonesian Food and Beverage Entrepreneurs Association - GAPMMI using convenience sampling data processed with AMOS. The results of the study show that additional innovation as a TQM mediator has an influence on company performance. In addition, testing shows that radical innovation has no effect on company performance. Therefore, additional innovation is the best way that SMEs can choose as a TQM approach to influence company performance. This research can contribute to small and medium enterprises in the selection of innovations in the practice of TQM. This will help entrepreneurs get better company performance Key words: total quality management; incremental innovation; radical innovation; firm performance; SMEs AbstrakDalam kompetisi strategi, inovasi harus jelas dan tepat sesuai dengan permintaan dan harapan konsumen. Terbatasnya sumber daya organisasi menuntut organisasi mengelola inovasi dengan jelas. Upaya perusahaan untuk mengubah atau meningkatkan output produk, baik dari proses dan layanannya, ditafsirkan sebagai inovasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti pengaruh manajemen kualitas total terhadap kinerja perusahaan dengan dua pendekatan, inovasi tambahan dan inovasi radikal. Hipotesis diuji dari data yang dikumpulkan dari 108 UKM makanan dan minuman yang terdaftar di Gabungan Pengusaha Makanan dan Minuman Indonesia – GAPMMI dengan menggunakan convenience sampling data diolah dengan AMOS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inovasi tambahan sebagai mediator TQM, memiliki pengaruh terhadap kinerja perusahaan. Selain itu, pengujian menunjukkan bahwa inovasi radikal tidak berpengaruh pada kinerja perusahaan. Oleh karena itu, inovasi tambahan adalah cara terbaik yang dapat dipilih oleh UKM sebagai pendekatan TQM untuk mempengaruhi kinerja perusahaan. Penelitian ini dapat berkontribusi untuk usaha kecil dan menengah dalam pemilihan inovasi dalam praktik TQM. Hal ini akan membantu pengusaha mendapatkan kinerja perusahaan yang lebih baik Kata kunci: manajemen kualitas total; inovasi tambahan; inovasi radikal; kinerja perusahaan; UKM

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) on business performance in various dimensions. This study proposes a conceptual model that intends to study several research hypotheses. The data were obtained through an online questionnaire, sent to pharmaceutical companies manufactured generic products in Indonesia. The study was conducted based on responses received from 168 valid questionnaires, and it was used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses. Furthermore, we use both of reflective and formative construct with second order/higher order construct in our model of study which is rarely found in the previous study. This research analyzed the dimensions studied in different aspects. TQM variable consists of seven practice, namely management commitment, supplier quality, employee involvement, leadership management, customer orientation, continuous improvement and quality management system, and with respect to business performance, this variable was analyzed through four different perspectives, namely, financial, customer, internal business process and learning & growth. The findings indicate that companies adopt total quality management get improvement in their business performance. Leadership management has greater effect on the successful of TQM practice compared to other TQM dimensions. This study also provides a particular contribution for the companies and expect to be used as feedback related to the execution of their TQM implementation to improve their business performance.
