The paper adopts a 'micro'approach to examine the impact of firm attributes, production, marketing and management competencies, and strategic choices of small firms on company performance in casting and machinery manufacturing industries. Correlation and regression analyses compare three alternative performance measures, growth, competitiveness and sales revenue increase, with 20 variables reflecting firm attributes, competence and strategy features. Principal components and cluster analyses identify competence-strategy dependencies, delineate types'of firms with distinct competence-strategy combinations, and compare performances of different types' of firms.
