A survey instrument was developed and administered to the managers of the firms. The study found a significant relationship between the organizational success factors and business performance where firms with high customer focus personnel commitment and innovation significantly outperformed those firms with low customer focus personnel commitment and innovation on a number of performance measures. High correlations among the three organizational success factors indicate synergistic relationships among them. This suggests that in order to achieve high performance and organizational success firms need to "have a customer focus culture must have personnel commitment and must innovate."
