Micro entrepreneur performance has severally discussed by scholars around the world. The micro entrepreneur performance not only measures by financial but also non-financial. Resources Based Theory (RBV) and Entrepreneurial Competency Theory play important role as determination of firm performance. The antecedent includes financial literacy, financial access, dynamic incentives as factors effecting micro entrepreneur firm performance. There are still lack of study and information on the relationships between f financial literacy, financial access, and dynamic incentives with micro entrepreneur performance. Consequently, misspecification of model and omission of measures due to deficiencies in analysis may likely lead to irrelevant conclusion to knowledge and practices. Hence, the study proposed a research framework that bridges internal and external integration factors effecting micro entrepreneur performance in Malaysia.
