The focus of this dissertation is to examine the relationship between information sharing, information quality, strategic partnership and internal lean practices among Small and Mediumsized Enterprises in South Africa. It is essential to know practitioners' and entrepreneurs' current knowledge towards the topic at hand in order to determine what interventions would be most beneficial in helping to curb the problem of the lack of knowledge in this area and to understand the underlying causes behind the problem, while creating awareness and giving new insight to those who are already aware of this topic. Data was collected from a sample of 350 participants and the measurement items in the measuring instrument were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. Thereafter the collected data was coded and analysed using structural equation modelling using the AMOS 21 software package. The findings indicate that information quality has a strong influence on strategic partnership and in turn, strategic partnership has a strong influence on internal lean practices among these organisations. This indicates that the level of information quality that is shared within the supply chains of these organisations has a positive effect on the strength of their partnerships as well as on the organisation's internal practices.
