“…Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMFEs) have been growing in worlds economy as a result of the government's recent efforts to radically restructure and positively execute economic policy.

Small and Medium-sized Forest Enterprises (SMFEs) have transitioned toward environmental sustainability due to the rapid evolution of the global economic climate. Researchers have revealed a high failure rate of about 90% worldwide for SMFEs due to poor financial management techniques, even though their performance is crucial for every emerging country. Implementing financial management methods has boosted firm expansion in the literature on the topic. This study fills a knowledge gap within the literature by examining the effect of financial management techniques on the expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMFEs). Financial management, financial analysis, computerized accounting systems and financial investments were the primary areas of inquiry. Two hundred sixty small and medium-sized business owners, financial managers, and other financial staff members filled out questionnaires to obtain the data. The analysis reveals that better financial management, financial reporting, accounting systems, investment decisions, and financing strategies lead to better financial performance and faster growth. The findings also show a robust beneficial relationship between financial management, financial analysis, computerized accounting systems and financial investments is essential to their success and has significant consequences for owners, administrators, and authorities. This research expands on previous discussions of numerous practical aspects and offers suggestions for future investigation.

This study investigates the factors that affect green entrepreneurship (GE) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia.Design/methodology/approachUsing quantitative modes, this study's findings are based on 334 valid cases from Saudi Arabian SME employees.FindingsUsing path analysis, this study’s findings reveal that green entrepreneurial skills (GES), green opportunities (GOs), entrepreneurial motivation (EM), green incentives (GIs), availability of capital (AoC) and green entrepreneurial self-efficacy (GESE) have positive and significant effects on GE. Moreover, GESE mediates GE's relationships with GES, GOs, EM, GIs and AoC.Practical implicationsThis study's findings support the development of green business practices in terms of green business planning, training and skills. The research provides opportunities for green businesses. Policymakers and SME authorities would benefit from this study's findings in producing green goods and services.Originality/valueThis study empirically confirms the role of various factors such as GESE and GE among Saudi Arabian SMEs.

Aim/objective Given an escalated interest in fostering environmental protection, scholars have associated green entrepreneurial behavior as a stimulating factor and the cornerstone of green entrepreneurial performance. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism that nurtures university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior is yet to be explored in the extant literature. Our study proposes the antecedent effects of institutional support and green knowledge transfer to enhance university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior. Moreover, we also expand the boundary conditions of these relationships and suggest the mediating effect of university students’ absorptive capacity and the moderating effect of environmental responsibility. Methodology The study samples university graduates in Chinese universities (N = 434) by adopting a lagged research design spanning over three months. We assessed the proposed model through the multivariate analytical technique. Findings The findings indicate that institutional support and green knowledge transfer significantly elevate university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior. Further, these relationships are intervened considerably through absorptive capacity’s mediating effect and environmental responsibility’s moderating effect. Implications By investigating the crucial roles of institutional support and green knowledge transfer in culminating university students’ green entrepreneurial behavior, our study extends the boundary conditions of these relationships and investigates the hitherto unexplored moderated mediation model.
