Hungarian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies have an essential role to play in a disruptive era. ICT firms should collaborate and innovate to obtain profit. The elusive correlation between trust in business partners and financial performance inspired this study, which proposed innovation as a mediating variable. The research had two objectives: to investigate the effect of inter-organizational trust on financial performance and innovation and to observe the role of innovation in improving financial performance within different categories of ICT companies. The population included active Hungarian ICT firms. The analysis used 100 samples, comprising micro-, small-, and medium-sized ICT corporations. Those samples were selected by random cluster sampling. This research used Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling. This study supported the idea that inter-organizational trust improved innovation, and that innovation enhanced financial performance. As an expected finding, innovation could mediate a positive direction between inter-organizational trust and financial performance.

The Impact

Although prior studies draw upon natural resource-based views, environmental strategy permits competitive advantages, and as such, gains financial performance. However, empirical results are mixed. To shed light on this issue, this study proposes that environmental performance mediates the link between environmental strategy and financial performance. Data were collected from 175 third-party logistic providers currently operating in Vietnam to test the hypotheses. Partial least square structural equation modeling was borrowed to test the data. The results reveal environmental performance partially mediates the link between environmental strategy and financial performance. By considering the mediating effect, this study contributes to the literature by addressing the intervening mechanism of environmental performance on the inconclusive relationship between environmental strategy and financial performance. Besides, this study also extends prior studies by borrowing a concept of environmental strategy, which captures the extent of organizations pursuing this strategy, to explain how and why pursuing this strategy permits environmental and financial performance.

The growing importance of Customer relationship management (CRM) and agility in any business are universally accepted and extensively investigated in different disciplines. However, lacking empirical evidence for the suggested theoretical framework of agility and their interrelationships with CRM and superior’s financial performance hinders its application in the practices. Thus, this study attempted to address this issue by drawing on the Resource-Advantage theory of sustainable competitive advantages to examine a mechanism through which CRM implementation can generate sustainable competitive and achieve superior financial performance using the Vietnamese tourism industry context. The framework was tested on data collected from 231 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings suggested that different types of CRM processes do not equally influence customer agility, and not all attributes of customer agility exert positive impacts on firms’ performance as well. Also, CRM performance measurement systems were found to moderate these effects positively and substantially. Several practical implications were also derived from the research findings.

This study assesses understanding of Risk, and extent of risk management practices in Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) taxpayers in Malawi, subsequently, investigates their relationship with financial performance and tax compliance. The study focuses on unlimited business sectors of SME taxpayers which drew a representation of our sample of 324 SMEs, using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze and test hypotheses. Results indicate that half of the SME taxpayers are aware of risks, but only 23% of respondents underwent any training on risk management. 90% of respondents revealed that tax rates are the most significant business constraint; value-added tax (VAT) being the most challenging tax to file. Most respondents identified risks through experience, with risk management practices centering on Chief Executive Officers. Empirical evidence on Path analysis and bootstrapping results established a significant relationship between understanding risks, risk management practices, financial performance and Tax compliance, which is positive, signaling a roadmap for risk mitigation if tax administration is to widen its SME tax net.

BUM Desa in Banten Province has not been maximized in improving the economy of the Village community as shown by the many inactive BUM Desa. BUM Desa has not been able to create business diversification that comes from financial performance in this study, namely Return on Investment (ROI). A total of 80 BUM Desa were studied as a result of purposive sampling from a population of 688 BUM Desa in Banten Province. The criteria for selecting samples were (1) registered BUM Desa (2) BUM Desa is active, and (3) active Village BUM that has capital ≥ Rp. 30,000,000. This study uses explanatory and descriptive methods using data analysis tools Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The results showed that financial performance had a positive effect on the Village-Owned Enterprise Diversification stage with t-value = 4.527, p-value = 0.000 <0.05, meaning that Ha was not enough data to accept Ho and data supporting Ho was rejected. Based on the description of the results and the study shows that good financial performance means being able to generate profits from sales and total assets, as well as capital. Meanwhile, diversification can be created if the turnover of working capital occurs quickly. The faster the working capital rotates, the better the BUM Desas financial performance will be. Therefore, BUM Desa has high financial performance can diversify investment.

The Relationship

Retaining employees in the organization has become very crucial especially in tough times. Losing skilled and experienced employees affect the overall productivity, profitability and product quality. While numerous studies have been carried out on this subject and the majority centre on turnover due to organizational approach, only a few studies have been done on intention to stay. Thus, the main purpose of this article is to examine the relationship among fit organization, organizational commitment and employee’s intention to stay in information and communication technology (ICT) industry in Malaysia. Quantitative method with self-administered questionnaire approach is followed targeting information technology (IT) managers of ICT with stratified random sampling of 105 IT professionals of ICT companies in Malaysia, based on the analysis using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) (PLS 3.0) to establish both measurement and structural model. From the empirical findings, it was revealed that there is a strong relationship between organizational commitment and intention to stay. The result also found that religiousness in the employees makes them to stay in the organization. This shows that while remunerations are crucial for the intention of employees, employee’s commitment is much higher than the intention initiatives.

Purpose – Outsourcing by corporations is increasing the demand for complex services (such as customization) from third-party logistics providers (3PLs). Effective integration between 3PLs and their customers, known as the external integration of 3PLs, not only allows 3PLs to respond rapidly to shippers’ needs but also to increase customer satisfaction and the effective allocation of resources while increasing operational efficiency (such as by proposing comprehensive plans for future logistics services to meet shippers’ demands). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the causal relationships among the external integration capabilities, cost advantages, and the financial performance of 3PLs. Design/methodology/approach – A survey of 3PLs in Taiwan and China was performed. The research model was tested using a structural equation modeling technique along with the partial least square (PLS-SEM/PLS) approach. Findings – The results herein demonstrated a positive relationship between 3PLs’ external integration capabilities and resource efficiency. The results also suggested that cost competitiveness positively affected the financial performance of 3PLs. Although the external integration capabilities of 3PLs were not found to directly affect their financial performance, the results in this study indicated that external integration capabilities enable a firm to improve financial performance by capturing cost advantages. Originality/value – This study provides useful information about the effects of external integration capabilities on the financial performance of 3PLs in a bi-regional context. The sample in this study was drawn from the 3PL industry in Taiwan and China, enabling a comparative analysis of these two countries of similar cultural backgrounds but different degrees of development of their logistics industry and different related demands.

SMEs financial success contributes to the nation`s GDP and helps in jobs creation, while SMEs financial failure will lead to issues, such as low job creation and Non-Performing Loans. From the perspective of the Sultanate of Oman, the SMEs financial performance is one of the government major concerns due to its significance and implications on the future of the national economy. Thus, it is worthwhile to assess the SMEs financial literacy and entrepreneurs' competencies (EC) as enablers of SMEs financial performance betterment. However, review of the literature and the practical evidence available give the impression that each sub-dimensions of entrepreneur competencies (EC) does not affect identically on SMEs financial performance. Therefore, it has become important to understand the financial literacy and entrepreneur competencies (EC) sub-dimensions effect on SMEs financial performance so that their significance and importance can be identified. This study aims to provide empirical evidence about the effect of financial literacy and each sub-dimensions of entrepreneur competencies (EC) on SMEs financial performance in the Sultanate of Oman. Besides, this research tends to examine the role of firm resources availability and government support as moderators. Resource-Based View Theory (RBV) will be adopted to extend the existing literature on SMEs financial performance determinants from SMEs entrepreneurial perspective. As research novelty and theoretical contribution, this research study's the interactions of financial literacy and each sub-dimensions of entrepreneur competencies (EC) with firm resources availability and government support, as moderators. The convenience sampling method will be used with SMEs sample size of 200 and 300 questionnaires will be distributed to SMEs founders/owners in Sultanate of Oman. The structural equation modelling (SEM) through partial least square (PLS) approach will be used to test the study hypotheses. The present research findings are expected to broader the picture of entrepreneur competencies (EC) and SMEs performance researches by revealing the financial literacy and each sub-dimensions of entrepreneur competencies (EC) effect on SMEs financial performance. Further, it may confirm the moderating role of firm resources availability and government support on SMEs financial performance.
