Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can gain a competitive advantage by implementing business model innovation (BMI), which is characterized as irreversible changes to a company's business model. However, BMI is often associated with high risk, uncertainty, and ambiguity. In this study, the effectiveness of BMI on improving SME performance is examined using structural equation modeling (SEM) based on data collected from 330 Chinese SMEs. The purpose of this paper is to examine how enterprise risk management (ERM), organizational agility (OA), and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) affect SME performance. The results reveal that ERM, OA, and EO all have a positive impact on efficiency-centered BMI and SME performance; efficiency-centered BMI mediates this pathway. Building on dynamic capabilities theory, this paper combines ERM, OA, and EO into one framework to assess their impact on SME performance. Additionally, a case study is presented to provide suggestions for making decisions about BMI implementation.
中小企业（SMEs）可以通过实施商业模式创新（BMI）获得竞争优势，商业模式创新的特点是公司商业模式发生不可逆转的变化。然而，商业模式创新往往与高风险、不确定性和模糊性相关。在本研究中，基于从330家中国中小企业收集的数据，使用结构方程模型（SEM）检验了商业模式创新对提高中小企业绩效的有效性。本文的目的是研究企业风险管理（ERM）、组织敏捷性（OA）和创业导向（EO）如何影响中小企业绩效。结果表明，企业风险管理、组织敏捷性和创业导向均对以效率为中心的商业模式创新和中小企业绩效产生积极影响；以效率为中心的商业模式创新在这一影响路径中起中介作用。基于动态能力理论，本文将企业风险管理、组织敏捷性和创业导向整合到一个框架中，以评估它们对中小企业绩效的影响。此外，还通过一个案例研究为商业模式创新实施决策提供建议。
