This paper examines the effects of the use of 3D Printing Technology (3DPT) applications on entrepreneurs’ operational effectiveness. For this purpose, a study model based on the relevant previous studies was proposed. The data for this research was collected using a self-administered questionnaire given to 161 respondents. The target respondents were those employed in entrepreneurial companies in Jordan and the data was analyzed using simple and multiple regression techniques. The findings indicate that the extent of 3DPT being used by entrepreneurial companies in Jordan was considered to be moderate at this stage and it varied among them in terms of their size and business experience. Further, all integrated effectiveness indicators (time, cost, quality, competitiveness and management processes) were significantly influenced by the level of the use of 3DPT; the most important effectiveness indicators were found to be time, cost and quality due to the business environment context found in Jordan.
This article examines the effects of the adoption of 3D printing technology (3DPT) applications on the operational performance of entrepreneurs' companies in terms of time, cost, quality, competitiveness, and management processes. For this purpose, a study model based on the relevant previous studies was proposed. The data for this research was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire given to 161 respondents. The target respondents were those employed in entrepreneurial companies in Jordan, and the data was analysed using multiple regression techniques. The findings indicate that the extent of 3DPT being adopted by entrepreneurial companies in Jordan should be considered moderate at this stage. Further, all integrated operational performance indicators (time, cost, quality, competitiveness, and management processes) were significantly influenced by the adoption of 3DPT; the most important performance indicators were found to be time, cost, and quality due to the business environment context found in Jordan.
This study examines the role of marketing knowledge management (assets and capabilities) in enhancing digital financial innovation through the moderating role of employees' demographic characteristics (age, education, experience, and position) in commercial banks operating in Jordan. To accomplish this aim, a conceptual framework based on knowledge-based theory and literature review was developed. A total of 336 responses to a questionnaire survey were collected from the managers and employees working on commercial banks operating in Jordan. The empirical findings revealed that marketing knowledge management capabilities positively and significantly affect digital financial innovation. The findings also support the moderating effect of only two demographic characteristics: of employees: education and position on the relationship between marketing knowledge management and digital financial innovation in commercial banks in Jordan.
