The City

Today's world competition has increased the pressure on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to adopt lean implementations. The purpose of this study is to make a small contribution by exploring the Lean Implementation Barrier (LIB) in SMEs through three case studies of SMEs in the city of Bandung. A case study approach is used and followed by the Interpretative Structural Model (ISM) in order to see the inter-LIB relationship. The results of this study indicate that lack of management commitment and leadership, lack of employee involvement and lack of resources are the main obstacles to lean implementation in SMEs in Indonesia. Moreover, poor communication among various levels within the company and inadequate dissemination of knowledge about the benefits of lean also create barriers to lean implementation. The implication of this research is to strengthen and expand information related to research on the application of lean in SMEs, especially the results of the identified barriers that can assist SMEs in implementing lean or future research in developing and identifying barriers to implementing lean in SMEs.

Do So

This paper contributes to the circular economy (CE) literature by investigating the drivers of success of the CE implementation in the construction sector and how those drivers can complement any implementation process in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). To do so, we analyzed the case of TECMO Estructuras Metálicas, using the methodology proposed by Jaca and colleagues to implement the CE in SMEs. It is a Colombian company with more than five decades of experience in the manufacture and installation of steel and aluminum structures for small and large building and infrastructure projects. The data were collected between August 2019 and November 2020 through direct communication with the company via workshops, meetings, and company reports. This research found that five drivers are relevant for implementing CE in the construction sector: fertile ecosystem, management commitment, identification of valuable materials, green teams, and CE intermediaries. Moreover, this study also contributes to teaching the implementation of the CE in companies, since it shows that through the methodology presented, implementation projects can be developed in postgraduate classes.

The Relationship

When SMEs are part of global value chain, the flows of information in cross-border buyer-supplier relationships which emerge from inward-outward internationalisation connections should be addressed. This study therefore investigates the learning processes of internationalising small and medium enterprises that engage in inward and outward internationalisation. Hence, this study adopts a qualitative case study approach based on ten cases of the internationalising SMEs in Malaysia. Semi-structured interviews with the Managing Directors of the selected SMEs were conducted over a two-year period. Additionally, participant observations were conducted by attending the meetings related to import-export activities and documentations were gathered for data triangulation Findings of this study highlights that the relationship with key foreign suppliers empowered case firms to connect inward to outward internationalisation through collaborative knowledge sharing. The distribution of knowledge through tacit-tacit and tacit-explicit knowledge sharing underpinned by formal planning was a prerequisite for inward-outward internationalisation connections to be established.

Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented challenges for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies. This paper aims to examine how India's SMEs implement their strategic responses in this crisis. Design/methodology/approach The study uses dynamic capability theory to explore the strategic responses of SMEs. Strategy implementation theory helps to explain how they implement innovative practices for outcomes. A research model defines the COVID-19 challenges, strategic responses and performance outcomes. The study reports the findings of an initial pilot study of 75 firms and follow-up case study results in the context of COVID-19. Findings Firms choose their approaches according to their perceived market risks. Case studies illustrate that firms display diverse attitudes depending on their strategic direction, leadership vision and organizational culture. They achieve different outcomes by implementing specific styles of risk management practices (e.g. risk-averting, risk-taking and risk-thriving). Research limitations/implications Although the study context is Indian SMEs, the findings suggest meaningful lessons for other emerging economies in similar crisis events. The propositions may be extended to future research in broad contexts. Practical implications Even in the extraordinary COVID-19 market crisis, SMEs with limited resources display their strategic potential by recognizing their unique capabilities, translating them into effective actions and achieving desirable outcomes. Social implications In the COVID-19 pandemic, top leaders' mental attitude, strategic perspective and routine practices are contagious. Positive leadership motivates both internal and external stakeholders with an enormous level of collaboration. Originality/value This rare study of Indian SMEs provides a theoretical framework for designing a pilot survey and conducting a case study of multiple firms. Based on these findings, testable propositions are articulated for future research in diverse organizational and national contexts.

The objective of this study was to analyze how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) cope with environmental changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic by pursuing the business model transformation with the support of digital technologies. To achieve the objective, this study used a multiple case study design with qualitative analysis to examine the data obtained from interviews, observation, and field visits. Seven manufacturing SMEs from Indonesia were selected using a theoretical sampling technique, with the purpose of achieving some degree of variation to allow us to undertake replication logic. Our analysis demonstrates that SMEs adopt a different degree of digital transformations, which can be summarized into three paths, depending on the firms’ contextual factors. First, SMEs with a high level of digital maturity who respond to the challenges by accelerating the transition toward digitalized firms; second, SMEs experiencing liquidity issues but a low level of digital maturity who decide to digitalize the sales function only; and, third, the SMEs that have very limited digital literacy but are supported by a high level of social capital. This last group of firms solves the challenges by finding partners who possess excellent digital capabilities. The qualitative case study method allows us to conduct in-depth and detailed analysis, but has thin generalizability. To address this limitation, future research can use a survey covering various industries to test the proposed theory that has resulted from this study, so that the generalizability can be assured.

The Cost

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as a business sector that supports the country's economy are required to have adequate internal controls to support the achievement of company goals. This research was conducted with a case study approach on culinary business. In general, the companies in this study have implemented adequate internal control components. In terms of achieving company goals, namely financial reporting, the MSMEs studied have made financial reports independently because they consider the cost factor when using expensive consultants and also most of the MSME actors already have accounting skills. However, for tax reports in general, make and reported with the help of consultants due to lack of tax regulations that often change. Regarding the achievement of operating objectives regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the MSMEs studied are still focused on production activities because production activities are the main activity to provide satisfaction to consumers by utilizing Standard Operating Procedures. Compliance with the applicable rules and laws of the 13 companies studied is varied because it depends on the presence of regulators and whether or not there are strict sanctions and involvement of related parties and bargaining power of stakeholders.Usaha mikro, kecil dan menengah (UMKM) sebagai suatu sektor usaha yang menunjang perekonomian negara dituntut untuk memiliki pengendalian intern yang memadai untuk menunjang pencapaian tujuan perusahaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan pendekatan studi kasus pada UMKM yang bergerak di bidang usaha kuliner. Secara umum, perusahaan yang diteliti telah menerapkan komponen pengendalian intern yang secara memadai karena adanya keterlibatan pemilik secara langsung pada usaha tersebut. Dalam hal pencapaian tujuan perusahaan yaitu pelaporan keuangan, UMKM yang diteliti sudah membuat laporan keuangan secara mandiri karena mempertimbangkan faktor biaya jika menggunakan pihak konsultan yang mahal dan juga sebagian besar pelaku UMKM sudah memiliki kemampuan akuntansi. Namun untuk laporan pajak pada umumnya, UMKM yang diteliti membuat dan melaporkannya dengan bantuan konsultan karena mereka kurang memahami peraturan perpajakan yang seringkali berubah.  Terkait pencapaian tujuan operasi tentang efektivitas dan efisiensi operasi, UMKM yang diteliti masih berfokus pada aktivitas produksi karena aktivitas produksi merupakan aktivitas utama untuk memberikan kepuasan pada konsumen dengan memanfaatkan Prosedur Operasi Baku. Kepatuhan pada aturan dan hukum yang berlaku dari 13 perusahaan yang diteliti bersifat variatif karena tergantung dari adanya pihak regulator dan juga ada atau tidaknya sanksi yang tegas serta keterlibatan pihak – pihak terkait serta daya tawar dari para pemangku kepentingan.
