Abstract: Despite valuable prior research on knowledge complexity, the inter-connectedness of various acumens of knowledge complexity and its relationship to firm performance requires further exploration. This study theoretically debates and empirically tests the relationship between three acumens of knowledge complexity and firm performance, adding a firm resilience dimension. We use primary data collected from 102 European small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) in Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK) observed during 2012-2014 and 2018-2020. Results provide new insights on firm management and policy development for scholars, managers, and policymakers.
