As a quantitative correlational study, purposive sampling technique is used to collect data from 522 manufacturing small medium-sized enterprises in Ghana. Employing partial least squares–structural equation modeling, results show relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, regulatory support, market dynamics are positive statistically significant enablers. Complexity cost negatively impact BcTSCF. Observability, competitive pressures, manager/owner while positively influencing BcTSCF, not significant. From importance–performance analysis, cost, pressure, observability, support low-importance, high-performance attributes. Compatibility, complexity, advantage high-importance, Theoretically, DOI–TOE framework integrated propose model explain BcTSCF perspectives developing countries, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Practically, this will help government other manufacturing-sector stakeholders make corresponding policy arrangements.
