The purpose of the research study is to investigate organizational capability and alertness as potential mechanisms through which network capability influences small enterprise performance. The study collected survey data from 94 participants representing 47 small enterprises with fewer than 50 employees in the United Arab Emirates and employed partial least squares structural equation modeling to test and analyze the structural model. The results suggest that the relationship between network capabilities and small enterprise performance is fully mediated by and contingent on the mediation role of organizational capabilities and that the moderating role of alertness strengthens the positive effect of organizational capabilities on small enterprise performance. Therefore, enterprises with strong organizational skills and high alertness will be best positioned to gain a competitive edge from their networks. In contrast, small enterprises that lack the internal processes and awareness to harness network knowledge will struggle to translate their network capability into improved performance.
