Abstract
This study argues that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must possess both resources
and capabilities at a superior level, and those resources and capabilities must be complementary
with one another to achieve superior financial performance. The resources and capabilities of
interest are product innovation and marketing. Using data from manufacturing SMEs, the results
suggest that product innovation resource–capability complementarity, marketing resource–
capability complementarity, and their interaction are positively related to financial performance
through product innovation and customer performance. The findings suggest that some SMEs may
outperform others not only because they possess a specific individual resource–capability complementarity
but also because they create synergy and asset interconnectedness.
