With the increasing number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia, most young entrepreneurs have started to use the internet as their business platform. However, the issue faced by these SMEs is maintaining their profit performance and long-term business sustainability. In maintaining their profit performance, entrepreneurs need to ensure they have product abundance, provide the best service delivery and offer the best price in the market. Hence, the objective of this research was to examine the relationship between an online business performance with the three main pillars of online business - product abundance, product delivery and product price. 210 registered SMEs located in the Klang Valley were chosen as the survey respondents. The result indicates that, product abundance and product price have a significant relationship with the performance, while product delivery had no significant relationship. This study proved that price of products offered by online business is crucial in maintaining customers’ satisfaction that is closely related to sales and performance. The findings of the study assists the entrepreneurs in developing their business while contributing to the nation’s economy when more potential SMEs’ businesses with an online capability are able to penetrate into the international market and compete globally.

The Covid-19 pandemic and industrial disruption 4.0 have changed the socio-economic order; it also affects this type of industry. One of the challenges faced by MSMEs and Cooperatives today is the low accounting literacy and financial governance, coupled with the transformation of the socio-economic order from conventional to digital systems. One solution to increase the skill and knowledge of MSMEs and Cooperatives to the digital system related to accounting literacy and financial governance is through training, mentoring, and research. Pieces of training, mentoring, and research on MSMEs and Cooperative members are conducted by interacting directly through face-to-face and field observation. The implications of the results of this training, mentoring and study, recommend that the training and mentoring undertaken by academics in synergy with Cooperatives and MSMEs Government need to continue to be carried out on an ongoing basis. With continuous training and mentoring, literacy, and accounting skills based on SAK ETAP and financial governance based on Android, MSMEs can be improved to achieve the business's efficiency and performance. Especially in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic and the new normal, MSMEs are still available to exist and compete in the business competition. Keywords: msmes and cooperative, efficiency and business performance, android-based accounting, digitization of financial governance, covid-19, new normal.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a critical role in economic growth in Indonesia and become the backbone for job creation, poverty alleviation, and safeguard during the crisis. However, they are highly exposed to uncertain environments. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of SMEs’ entrepreneurial orientation on business performance when uncertain environments exist. A total of 152 Indonesian SMEs were studied in order to assess this relationship. Moderated regression analysis is performed as the main statistical procedures to analyse the moderating role of environmental uncertainty on the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance. Surprisingly, the result of the present study did not confirm the previous predominant studies which found that entrepreneurialorientation dimensions are positively associated with business performance in growing in an uncertain environment. Indonesian entrepreneurs were reluctant to innovate, be proactive, and take risks when an uncertain environment exists. The present study was an endeavour to provide better insight in explaining the inconsistent and ambiguous findings from existing literature.

Previous studies have shown the relevance of corporate entrepreneurial orientation (EO), marketing orientation (MO), and business performance. However, considerable variation exists in the magnitude of the relationship between EO and business performance, and no significant relationship between EO and performance has yet been found. Our central argument is that the benefits of EO depend on firm MO, and the performance of a firm is highest when EO and MO are aligned. This study explored the influence of entrepreneurial–marketing alignments on the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and determined the variables that are most conducive of the alignment effect on SME growth in the context of the Taiwanese economy. Understanding this relationship is essential for guiding entrepreneurial behavior to improve firm performance.

The probability sampling technique was used to draw 219 respondents from the sampling frame. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection.

Successors selected and prepared by business founders performed better in business than successors who were selected and prepared by other family members. Research limitations/implications This study employed a quantitative research paradigm methodology, which limits deep discussion with respondents. Future studies could consider using a qualitative research paradigm methodology.
