With the rise of global competition, organisations must acquire high talents

talent management practice-competitive strategy-performance theoretical model
concerning firms operating in the export sectors. This thesis explores the effect of
talent management practices (talent attraction, talent development and talent
retention) on competitive strategy and export performance. This research also
addresses moderating effect of government support between competitive strategy and
export performance. This research explores the mediating role of competitive
strategies in the relation between talent management practices and export
performances. The research model is tested using the Partial Least Squared (PLS)
technique. The empirical results have indicated that talent retention is significantly
related to export performance and competitive strategy. With the mediating effect of

development and export performance. Government support is important to strengthen
the food processing SMEs export performance, by helping to improve the firm’s
