Data were randomly collected from firms listed with the Korea Foreign Company Association to test the proposed research model. The study’s hypotheses were tested using covariance-based structural equation modeling. The results showed that NP and TP had a significant impact on ISM awareness accounting for 36.8% of the variance and that ISM awareness significantly influenced ISM development accounting for 23.6% of the variance which similarly influenced performance, accounting for 14.4% of the variance.
