Abstract
Quality and business excellence awards that recognize excellent organizational performance has become a major driving force in enhancing the competitiveness of Indian firms in the global economy. While the frameworks underlying these awards have been used extensively by organizations little empirical evidence exists regarding the validity of these frameworks as a predictor of building competitiveness. This study critically examines the framework of one of the leading awards of India by testing the relationship between stakeholder results and enabling practices using regression analysis structural equation model and Data Envelopment Analysis. The results of the study reveal that the framework is used by the organizations to enhance firm level competitiveness but not as a tool to contribute to national competitiveness. This study suggests a framework of framework that not only helps an organization for positioning existing initiatives and identifying gaps in its journey of competitiveness but also links its enabling practices and planned results to the growth process of the country.
