This research addresses new theoretical framework to describe the relationship between competitive advantages (innovation differentiation, marketing differentiation, low cost leadership, quality differentiation and service differentiation), management attitudes, and internationalisation as the mediating factor towards firm performance for the E&E manufacturing SME’s. The conceptual framework, helps firms to determine the factors that contribute to the success of firm performance and effectiveness of internationalisation to support E&E manufacturing. The results indicate that E&E manufacturing SME’s firm performance are positively related to competitive advantages (marketing differentiation, low cost leadership). With the moderating effect of internationalisation, shows significant positive relationship between competitive advantages (innovation differentiation, marketing differentiation and low cost leadership) and also management attitudes.
