job opportunities besides acting as the fundamental unit for larger firms. Even though ASMEs have
comparative advantages and is important for thelocal economy.It is harder for them to sustain the industry
compared to their larger counterparts, especially during their preliminary 5 years.Therefore, this study is aimed
to determine factors of Malaysian ASMEs sustainability through a focus group discussion (FGD) with 11 local
agribusiness practitioners followed by a qualitative analysis by using ATLAS.ti 7. As a result, four (4) factors,
namely entrepreneurial passion and motivation, entrepreneurship skills, business management and business
relations were found to influence Malaysian ASMEs business sustainability. The findings of this study would
aid both policy makers and new agricultural entrepreneurs. However, a quantitative study involving more
ASMEs owners is required to rectify and demonstrate the relationship between factors of ASMEs business
sustainability. |
