The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of partner factors, including cost, quality, and capability on the performance and co-creation of organizations in Vietnam. Data were collected from property proprietors, CEOs, vice directors, management board assistants, and department managers of SMEs in Vietnam. The PLS-SEM technique was employed to collect and analyze a total of 454 valid responses. The results also illustrate the impact of partners' cost, partners' quality, partners' capability, and collaboration with partners on the success of SMEs in a developing market. The results also emphasized the role of collaborative creation in mediating the relationship between partner performance and SME business outcomes. This study offers novel insights into the literature on the impact of partnership on business co-creation and performance in terms of partners' capability, cost, and quality, as a result of its theoretical implications. This study helps fill the gap in supply chain management partner selection theories, specifically selection criteria and their consequences on business performance in Vietnam's uncertain situations. The results can offer tourism companies valuable insights into the strategic benefits of selecting, establishing, or maintaining a relationship, as well as strengthening their relationships with their business partners.
