INTRODUCTION
This study examines the relationship between the operational level factorsand the operational performance for small and medium scale enterprises.The entrepreneurial skill needed to operate the SMEs is also important as
these industries are entrepreneur specific so this issue is also taken in thisresearch for study.The exploratory study is carried out to formulate the theoretical basis foroperational level factors important for SMEs and their operationalperformance (priorities).There after the model is formulated based on the research objectives and
the hypothesis coming out of literature review.The model is tested by structural equation method using AMOS 7 software
to find out the relationship between observed and unobserved (latent)variables.The second research problem of entrepreneurial skills is also studied
through exploratory study as well as statistical analysis.

OPERATION LEVEL FACTORS
Skinner conceived a model for manufacturing strategy in which thecompetitive environment suggest a basic business strategy which in turnsuggest the manufacturing mission or strategy. This mission can beencapsulated in to choices made with respect to four competitive priorities:cost, quality, delivery and flexibility. The design of the manufacturing systemcan be made to fit the strategy by making appropriate tradeoff or decisions
in key areas.Further, Skinner suggested five areas where tradeoff decisions had to be
made to assure a fit between business strategy and manufacturing: 1) plantand equipment 2) production planning and control 3) labor and staffing 4)product design/engineering; and 5) organization and managementBryan D. Prescott (1995) has presented ten essentials for business
success such as customer centered organization, customer centeredleadership, customer centered strategy, management of people, training and developing people, management of resources, process control andimprovement, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction and; communitysatisfaction.

OPERATION LEVEL FACTORS
Hayes and Wheelwright (1984) have proposed that congruencyamong operations managers should exist at two levels. They shouldagree on (1) where the organization is trying to go (competitive goalsor priorities) and (2) the day-to-day decisions that involve trade-offsamong priorities and that, over time, create a pattern of manufacturing strategy.Various manufacturing practices such as TQM, JIT etc. are followed inindustries to excel in organizational performance. The objective of
the practices, as management commitment and training to workers,is to produce improvement in operative and business performance(Powell, 1995).
Literature review is carried out to find out the operation level factorsand are examined for six factors such as PC =Process control andimprovement, MR=Management of resources, MP=Management of people, TD=Training and developing people, TW= Team work,PS=Partnership with suppliers

The first construct process control and improvement refers to the productivity andflexibility are as good as, or better than, the best of competition; processes are undercontrol and innovation and continuous improvement are encouraged (Bryan D.Prescott, 1995, Skinner W.,1974, Haynes R.H., Wheelwright S.C., 1984, T. J. Hill,1992, Eve D. Rosenzweig, and George S. Easton, 2010).The second construct management of resources refers to utilization of resources ison a par with the best of the competition and technology is effectively used toimprove productivity and flexibility (Bryan D. Prescott, 1995, Haynes R.H.,Wheelwright S.C., 1984, Eve D. Rosenzweig, and George S. Easton, 2010).The third construct management of people refers to the employing flexibleleadership style, insist on personal responsibility for quality and provide the tools,information, empowerment, and support required for people to participate in a questfor excellence in all aspect of the business (Bryan D. Prescott, 1995, SkinnerW.,1974, Haynes R.H., Wheelwright S.C., 1984, T. J. Hill ,1992, Buffa,1984, Fine &Hax, 1985, Peter T. Ward et.al.1990, Eve D. Rosenzweig, and George S. Easton,2010)

The forth construct training & developing people refers to the supply of qualified, competent and flexible people which are sufficient to meetoperational demands and contingencies and training is cost effective andbased on company standards (Bryan D. Prescott, 1995, Fine & Hax, 1985,Ricardo M. Pino 2007, Eve D. Rosenzweig, and George S. Easton, 2010).The fifth construct team Work refers to the cumulative actions of the team(group of people) during which each member of the team subordinates hisindividual interest and opinions to fulfill the objectives or goals of the group(Besterfield Dale H. et.al., 2003, Flynn Barbara B; Sakakibara Sadao;Schroeder Roger G., 1995, Eve D. Rosenzweig, and George S. Easton, 2010)The sixth construct supplier partnership refers to long term commitment toachieve quality, increased efficiency, lower cost, innovation and continuous
improvement of products and services between two or more organizations(Ricardo M. Pino, 2007, Eve D. Rosenzweig, and George S. Easton, 2010)

OPERATION PERFORMANCE OR PRIORITIES
Skinner (1974) described common competitive performance criteria formanufacturing strategy such as short delivery cycles, superior quality andreliability, dependable deliveries, fast new product developments, flexibilityin volume changes and low cost.Hayes and Wheelwright (1984) have defined this term as price (cost),quality, delivery dependability, and flexibility.Ferdows and De Meyer (1990) identified four dimensions: cost, quality,dependability, and flexibility.Corbett and van Wassenhove (1993) point out that competitive capabilityrepresents, to a great extent, product, place, and price dimensions. Productrefers to the physical dimension, such as quality. Place includes deliveryissues and the availability of products. Price refers to the amount a
customer pays for the product or service. Additionally, they state that thesemeasures of capabilities have their counterpart in terms of competencies in the sense that capabilities are outward looking while competencies areinward looking. As an example, the counterpart of price is cost.

OPERATION PERFORMANCE OR PRIORITIES
Wood et al. (1990) examined the dimensions of manufacturing capabilities that focus on the following capabilities: low price, high product performance,high durability, high product reliability, short delivery time, delivery on duedate, product customization, number of features, product cost, conformance
to design specifications, improved manufacturing quality, cost, on-timedelivery, product cost, quality consistency, quality perceived by customer,
and product priceVickery et al. (1993) suggest a list of production competence characteristicsincluding product flexibility, volume flexibility, process flexibility, low productcost, delivery speed, delivery dependability, production lead time, productreliability, product durability, quality, competitive pricing, and low price.Driven by its business strategies, a firm sets competitive priorities and
develops action plans. As action plans are implemented, manufacturing competencies are developed and these competencies allow a firm to buildmanufacturing capabilities that enable them to compete in the market(Koufteros et al., 2002).

LITERATURE REVIEW ON ENTREPRENEURIALSKILLS
Business success is related to the achievement of goals andobjectives. The different stakeholders may have different goals andaspirations for the enterprise, and they may change over timeJennings and Beaver (1997, 67 - 68) suggest that it would beappropriate to regard an entrepreneur as the primary stakeholder
and to consider how she or he might define success or failureSome researchers have argued that success is driven by theentrepreneurial orientation (Covin & Slevin 1991; Lumpkin & Dess1996; Wiklund & Shepherd 2004)According to Lumpkin and Dess (2001), the concept of entrepreneurial orientation consists of five dimensions: autonomy,innovativeness, risk taking, proactiveness, and competitiveaggressiveness.According to de Koning and Brown (2001), the entrepreneurialorientation is positively associated with opportunity alertness.

Shane (2000) has discovered that people recognize the opportunitiesrelated to the information and knowledge, they already possess.Small business success has often been classified into three categories of antecedents: the individual characteristics of the owner-manager, firmcharacteristics and environmental characteristics (Cragg & King 1988;Rutherford & Oswald 2000).Beal (2000) provides a similar model. He emphasizes that both external andinternal alignment influence a firm‟s performance. The external alignmentmeans the alignment between the competitive strategy and the industry lifecycle stages, and its effect on the performance. The internal alignmentmeans the competitive strategy and the small business manager‟sfunctional experience and its effect on the performance.
According to Jennings and Beaver (1997), a popular belief is that superiorperformance and competitive advantage in the smaller firm is invariablyequated with successful business development culminating in exceptionalreturn on the investment, sales growth, volume, profit and employment.

MODELS OF FIRM’S SUCCESS
Van Vuuren and Niemen(1999) developed a threedimensional model in whichentrepreneurialperformance is a function of motivation timesentrepreneurial andbusiness skills, as shown
belowE/P = aM x bE/S x cB/S
E/P is defined as increase in entrepreneurialperformance which is based on the starting of a business, utilizing an opportunity and growthof the business idea.M = Motivation ,this includes inner control,persistence, leadership, decisiveness,determination and sheer guts, achievementimagery, ability to inspire, ability to overcomeobstacles or blocks, ability to get help, reaction to success or failure.E/S = Entrepreneurial skills cover the ability
turn their business idea into feasible businessopportunities, to start and to grow a businessenterprise. It includes creativity, innovation,risk taking, and the ability to take successfulentrepreneurial role models and identificationof market opportunities.B/S = Business skills covers ability to formulatebusiness plans, financial, marketing,operational, human resources, legalcommunication and management skills.a,b,c are constant coefficient.

MODELS OF FIRM’S SUCCESS
Ucbasaran et al (2004) identified three distinct capabilities that the entrepreneur requires to succeed:The entrepreneurial role, which assist with businessdevelopment.
The managerial role, which assists functional, needs whichinclude human resources management, marketing,operations, administration, finance and planning.The technical role, which needed for functioning andproducing products.

INTEGRATATED MODEL
Considering all the above model an integrated model can beformulated which explains entrepreneurial performance is dependenton the availability of product differentiation competencies andenterprising competencies and functional competencies. Product and
service differentiation is the ability to ensure that the product orservice is produced at an acceptable quality. This solely depends ontechnical skill . Entrepreneurial competencies depend onentrepreneurial and personal skills . Functional competencies assist
the entrepreneur to function the business and find the balancebetween opportunity, resources, and the entrepreneurial team.Functional competencies depend on business skills.
E/P = (a.P/S x b.E/S) x c.(B/S) x d.(T/S)Where: E/P is increase in entrepreneurial performance, P/S ispersonal skills, E/S is entrepreneurial skills, B/S is business skills,and T/S is technical skills

HYPOTHESIS
H1: Process control and implementation is positively related to operational prioritiesof SMEs. For this hypothesis to be supported, at least one significant path from the processcontrol and implementation to the operation priority should exist. The result from
table shows that all the path except cost are positive and supporting the hypothesis.
H2: Management of resources is positively related to operational priorities of SMEs. Management of resources not significantly affects the cost, quality and flexibility butaffects significantly delivery of operation priority. So this hypothesis is supported .
H3: Management of people is positively related to operational priorities of SMEs. Quality, delivery and flexibility is significantly affecting the operation priority whilecost is not affecting significantly, so this hypothesis is supported .

H4: Training and developing people is positively related to operationalpriorities of SMEs. This hypothesis is not supported as no path significantly affects theoperation priority.H5: Partnership with supplier is positively related to operational priorities ofSMEs. This hypothesis is supported as cost is affecting operation prioritysignificantly while others not so significantly.H6: Teamwork is positively related to operational priorities of SMEs. This hypothesis is not supported as none of the component of operationpriority is significantly affected by teamwork.H7: Operational priorities have a strong impact on growth in productivity. Cost, quality, flexibility are significantly affecting growth in productivity whiledelivery not affecting significantly, so this hypothesis is supported .

PERFORMANCE OF THREE MODELS
1) There is a significant differencebetween the performances of models Aand C. The χ 2 (MA– MC) is .672, which issignificant in χ 2 (DF=1, P<0.05).(2) There is no significant differencebetween the performance of models Band C. The χ 2 (MB– MC) is .432, which isnot significant in χ 2 (DF=1, P<0.05).
When the modification indices areexamined for model A based on modelB, the indices suggest that there exists arelationship between operation levelfactors on operational performance.When the modification indices areexamined for model C based on modelB, the indices suggest that there is norelationship between the operationalpriority and operational performance.The results of model B support thatoperation level factors have directrelationship with operation priorities.The path coefficient is .23 where thestatistical significance at p<.001. Thepath coefficient between operation levelfactor and operational performance is1.00 which is also significant at the levelp<0.001.

CRONBACH ALPHAS
Cronbach alphas for factor 1, 2and 3 are acceptable. On theother hand for factor 4 and 5was not acceptable as it isnegative. Low Cronbach alphasand eigenvalue<1 indicate lowvalidity and reliability of thefactor. Normally such a factorwould be excluded in a researchstudy.We have decided to include the4 th and 5 th factor because theeigen value is more than 1 andit is identified in literature asimportant skills.
