Abstract:

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) are undeniably playing a significant role in the economic development of many countries globally. This role performed by the SMEs has been distracted by the global pandemic COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The pandemic brought about lockdown, movement restrictions, market closure, social distancing, etc. Thus, these restrictions and controls of the movement have particularly affected small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. This study aims to examine the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the small and medium scale business in Yobe State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. Data were obtained through a questionnaire administered to 278 SMEs in Yobe State. The data were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis using SPSS. The findings of the study indicate owners/managers of SMEs that participated in the study rated the variables of COVID-19 (lockdown, movement restriction, market closure, and social distancing) on a high level. The result further revealed that all the variables in the study correlate with SME's performance. Interestingly, the findings indicate three variables have a significant positive effect on SME's performance, the highest among is the market closure, followed by movement restriction and lockdown accordingly. While social distancing shows no significant effect on SME's performance. Therefore, it is recommended that proactive plans should be put in place for SMEs in anticipation of events such as COVID-19 that can hurt businesses. Finally, future research should consider other related variables that have not been considered in this study.

Abstract:

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia continue to grow because it is supported by ideas and creations of the community that keep creating new idea either from food products, clothing, or multipurpose tools. There are already a few examples of successful IT implementation on SME in many countries, but in Indonesia, many SME's does not yet know about the benefit of IT implementation in their businesses. To solve this problem SME's need for learning and adapting IT from the internal functions of the organization, and one of them is Human Resource Management (HRM). This research will try to redesign HRM system based on mobile system or smartphones as one of most popular and most used technology in Indonesia. Smartphones can be used as an early and easy approach for those SME's in the IT-based system. This research will be focused on collecting qualitative data based on the interview with 5 respondents as owner or manager of SME to specify requirements of the design and problems that can be solved. As for the results, the major problem is from the human resource which is lack of knowledge, experience and there are few internal problems in SME's which can be solved by redesigning the mobile system. After presenting the result of redesigning, respondents conclude that the system is sufficient for their daily business activities and they feel comfortable with the design on the mobile system as they said it is easy to understand. Presented design can be much improved by adding more information, opinion, and feedback from other SMEs into consideration in the aim to achieve effective and efficient system design.

Abstract:

Moroccan SME's are involved in local development and are currently the subject of several studies. Furthermore, Moroccan SMEs are crucial to the country's economic growth since they produce value, create employment, and play an important role in local development. The goal is to identify the factors that influence its export performance. This performance can be influenced by the governance system, which is defined as a set of mechanisms that have the effect of limiting managers' powers and influencing their decisions. In this light, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate, using a sample of food SME's in Agadir city, that a good governance system improves export performance and accelerates the process of SME internationalization. Based on the findings of this study, we can infer that SMEs with effective internal governance mechanisms, such as an internal control and consultation body and strong hierarchical control, may improve their export performance and, as a result, their internationalization potential.

Abstract:

Purpose Improving tax compliance would drive the needed development in Ghana. Small and medium scale enterprises (SME) constitute a sizable proportion of the Ghanaian economy but its contribution to tax revenue is below expectation. This study aims to determine whether SME's perception of state legitimacy affects tax compliance. Design/methodology/approach A structured questionnaire was administered to 200 SMEs randomly drawn from Dodowa in the Shai-Osudoku District of Greater Accra Region. Descriptive statistics and the Probit model with sample selection were used to analyse the data. Findings The study found that SME's perception of government legitimacy exerts a significant negative effect on reducing profit to avoid tax liability (ß = −0.0305, p < 0.05). Other factors such as education and fear of fines and penalties were also found to reduce the likelihood that the firm would reduce profit to avoid high tax liability. Still, tax knowledge had a positive effect on this behaviour. Practical implications This study would help deepen policymakers' knowledge of how to improve tax compliance among SMEs in Ghana. Originality/value The originality of this work is that it explicitly models the role of fiscal exchange theory in explaining tax compliance among SMEs in Ghana by using robust methodology.

This study also investigates the interaction effect of managerial activities between independent variables and dependent variables. A survey was conducted in a small and medium enterprise of KPK Pakistan. Data were collected from 362 employees. SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software was employed for data analysis for descriptive and regression analysis. The finding confirmed that commercial loans, trade credit, retained earning have a positive and significant impact upon SME's performance. It is also found that managerial activities have played a mediating role and increased the performance of SMEs. Among variables under study, the more trade credit activities, the higher the performance of the SMEs is observed. Based on this study's results, Leaders, supervisors, and managers are those employees having a substantial role in the performance, development, failure, and success of an organization.

Abstract:

The firm’s involvement in innovation became a necessary attribute for firms to remain competitive and successful. However, innovation is still considered a hallmark of large firms only. The literature on SME's involvement in innovation is scant and needs further exploration regarding the innovation process in the SME firms. This paper aims to hint the gap of knowledge related to the association between the owner-manager characteristics and innovation orientation at the SMEs. A review of relevant literature was exhausted for the achievement of the study objective. The findings of the study highlight that to fully explore the innovation process at the SME level, there is a need to divide the innovation concept into innovation creation and innovation adoption as two discrete concepts effected by the owner-manager personal characteristics. Literature hints at these two conceptualizations of the innovation among SMEs, but empirical examination is non-existence. Therefore, this work recommends future research endeavors to empirically examining the direction and strength of the relationship between owner-manager characteristics and SME's innovation performance in terms of creation and adoption. Moreover, literature and policy direction can be drawn from the respective research activities.

Abstract:

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a very important role for the economic success of any country, due to their contribution to the functioning of the economic network, job creation, development of entrepreneurial skills, innovation and the improvement of economic well-being. For the functioning and development of SMEs also plays an important role their financing, which is defined as key factors for the functioning of the business, as well as for its long-term development. Despite their importance in the economy, they face a number of obstacles that affect their development, where in most research of SMEs in Kosovo access to finance is considered as the main barrier. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the barriers faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kosovo during the exercise of their business activity and is based on quantitative data using the quantitative method. Data collection was conducted through a survey conducted with 200 SMEs and the instrument used for data collection is the questionnaire. Assessing barriers to doing business by businesses themselves is an important insight which serves various entrepreneurs in an effort to improve the business environment. Despite the importance of small and medium enterprises in their role in the economic development of the country, we can say that the business environment has not always been favorable for these enterprises. From this research we can conclude that small enterprises in our country are not sufficiently developed they face many problems during the development of their activity. The study concludes with a number of conclusions, where these can address a large number of obstacles faced by businesses on the path of doing business in Kosovo, trying to create a conducive environment in which companies can be helped to overcome, or face these obstacles.

Abstract:

The digital age has brought up improved and efficient marketing ways for businesses to grow, earn publicity and generate more revenue. Web 2.0 marketing is a marketing medium that allows business to collaborate through sharing activities such as content and multimedia. This study explores the value which Web 2.0 marketing adds to the Nigerian SME's. The analyzed data showed that SME's most common marketing tool is Facebook, service-rendering companies also adopt Blogging tool and product-selling businesses prefer the picture platform (Facebook and Instagram). The major Web 2.0 marketing benefits achieved by the Nigerians SME's are increase in brand awareness and revenue. However, the benefit of getting high search engine optimization (SEO) rank is not leveraged. One major challenge is lack of in house skills is the most common faced in the adoption of Web 2.0 marketing as most of the online marketing is done by unskilled employees in the company; this issue leads to several challenges. It is recommended that the SME's should hire or outsource certified digital marketers for effective management and achievement of optimum Web 2.0 marketing strategy benefits.

Abstract:

SMEs are one of the elements of the economy affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. This study wants to see the impact of the pandemic on the SME's business cycle, as well as to measure the tax equity in the implementation of income tax along with the incentives provided. This study uses a narrative approach in a qualitative corridor based on the data obtained from interviews. As a result, the impact of the pandemic on SMEs varies greatly depending on the type and strategy of the business. This diversity erodes tax equity in terms of income tax and its incentive specified to SMEs. To overcome the tax equity issue, both professional dan academic sectors need to disseminate accounting for SMEs during the transition.

Abstract:

SME's and family businesses are central elements in Spain's modern economic growth. However, their process of internationalization has been little explored in recent research, particularly when it has been primarily aimed at emerging economies. The article aims to understand and explain the internationalisation process of SME's in the Valencian region in Latin America. Through a set of cases of companies from different sectors (Metal, Machinery, Chemical, Ceramics, Textile, Furniture) it is showed that since 1990, the different Latin American countries have been increasing their presence in the preferential markets of most of the 22 companies studied. The growing role of the region in the investments of Valencian SME's shows the diversification and expansion of destination markets, including geographically not only the traditional European or Arab countries but also those of Latin America. Different reasons underlie this internationalisation: but the enterprises analysed based on a case studies approach showed different models of expansion. The common denominator being that of strategies specifically developed and adapted to the destination country's local environment: from an incremental and gradual expansion.

Abstract:

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) trail large organizations in leveraging IT systems. SMEs are beginning to understand the significance of implementing IT systems like ERP for improving their preparedness in business processes. Hence the objective of this research article is to develop a framework to analyse SME's organizational preparedness for implementing the technology. This research applies a General Morphological Analysis (GMA) framework to explore suitable models and variables for IT change preparedness to realize the benefits of ERP implementation in SMEs. An SMEs drawback in implementing IT tools is specifically due to a lack of knowledge and an acute shortage of resources like investment and manpower. The review of literature in this article using general morphological analysis is novel for ERP implementation in the SME sector. Based on the review of articles, a morphology with a technology organization framework and environment (TOE) framework which evaluates technological, organizational and environment is most adequate to understand the IT readiness for ERP among SMEs.

Abstract:

With the appropriation of the Lisbon Agenda and its significant goal, in particular that the EU would turn into the most powerful and serious information-based economy on the planet, it turned out to be clear the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) are the particularly influenced by these plans, since they speak to the main thrust for the European economy (Abdullah & Othman2, 2016). In this setting of making and keeping up an upper hand for the SME's, it is essential for them to utilize the scholarly capital of their workers, in an effective and capable way, to build their potential for development. The point of this article is to show, through a unique argumentation, in view of the investigation of specific writing, the significant job that scholarly capital plays in the area of SME's to acquire a genuine and feasible upper hand. The examination depends on the basic critical review of literature based on intellectual capital, upper hand, business execution, development, and learning society. The examination conceptualizes the system of scholarly capital and considers the job of development as an interceding variable and learning as a directing element. The reasonable idea of the investigation is the fundamental constraint.

Abstract:

In many industries, teamwork is critical to enterprise existence. However, many manufacturing small and medium firms (SMEs) in Nigeria have failed to survive before their fifth birthday. The aim of this positivistic study is to examine the effect of teamwork on the survival of manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria. A structured questionnaire is used to collect data from 364 owner-managers of manufacturing SMEs selected using stratified random sampling technique. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to analyze data. Results show that teamwork has a strong, positive, and significant effect on the survival of manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria. More specifically, the dimension of communication is a strong predictor of SME's survival, followed by recognition, team spirit, and collaboration. The study concludes that there is a variety of critical dimensions of teamwork for the survival of manufacturing SMEs. The study also recommends that if manufacturing SMEs are to survive and thrive in Nigeria, owner-managers must demonstrate and promote a multi-dimensional and nuanced vision of teamwork. The study's findings have key pragmatic and research implications.
