“…The use of technology plays an important role in enhancing the quality, efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity of work operations in practically all professions [6,[25][26]. The use of computerized systems in community practice for inventory management, payment platforms like a point of a sales platform, efficient prescription processing, record keeping, monitoring of daily sales, and business profitability [6,[26][27].…”

“…A study conducted among managers from several firms in Poland, which assessed the impact of technology use in enhancing cooperation and collaboration, revealed that cooperation among firm owners was low [25]. Furthermore, a literature review study by Dincer & Dincer (2016) showed that the use of technology in accounting and business transaction management has a significant positive impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of work operations of small and medium-scale enterprises [31].…”

Community pharmacists, as healthcare providers, operate within local and global business environments. Therefore, they are not immune from the effects of the business environment on practice performance. However, limited empirical research is available to explore these effects. The study proposes an empirical model to investigate the influence of economic and technological factors on the performance domains of community pharmacists in southwestern Nigeria. A cross-sectional study with self-administered questionnaires to 661 randomly selected community pharmacists. Performance measures were operationalized based on theory into 3 domains: operational, economic, and social performance domains. Study hypotheses were tested by applying factor-based structural equation modeling (SEM) using WarpPLS software. Results showed acceptable internal reliability of constructs and fit of the model to the data. Technology, compared to economic factors, had a significant influence on operational performance (β=0.242, p=0.001 vs. β=0.067, p=0.055). At the same time, economic factors had a higher influence on economic performance (β=0.070, p=0.036 vs. β=0.032, p=0.203). Both predictors affected social performance, with economic factors having a relatively stronger impact compared to technological factors. (β=0.095, p=0.007 vs. β=0.069, p=0.037). Community pharmacists should continue to strengthen economic value for their customers while incorporating relevant technology to improve practice outcomes. Macroeconomic policy by governments to enable community pharmacy practice is also recommended. The study recommends that community pharmacists emphasize the relevance of regular performance assessments to identify areas for improvement. This study adds substantial theoretical and methodological value to the existing literature by using SEM to explore the impact of business environmental factors on disaggregated performance measures of community pharmacists. Keywords: Community pharmacists, Economic, Measures, Nigeria, Performance, Technology, Structural equation modeling.

“…Another commonly adopted internationalization strategy is establishing a host network of relationships with local entities instead of independently operating in foreign markets [Tomaszuk, 2017]. Formulating connections can secure assistance for multinational activities from various local organizations regarding the accessibility of information, resources, and institutional supports [Johanson, Mattsson, 2015].…”

As the global business environment continuously evolves, the cross-border e-commerce becomes an essential part of international markets. This research analyzes practitioners’ perception of the cross-border e-commerce as an emerging channel to expand and operate in the global market and explores the platform structural performance determinants. We conducted the content and statistical analyses based on 35 interviews and constructed database of 150 observed companies. Deploying the springboard approach as the theoretical underpinning, we find the cross-border e-commerce optimal for companies to respond to the global turmoil in the short term and to achieve internationalization in the long term which serves as the most desirable option for firms to conduct cross-border commercial activities. The personalization in multiple language choices, reliable payment system settings, and clear website privacy commitment are the major factors. The diversity of language settings has the most significant positive influence on the cross-border e-commerce performance. This research contributes to the literature on the internationalization of firms and operation strategy in the global market enhancing the knowledge of operating crossborder e-commerce through the comparison with conventional internationalization paradigms and the examination of specific platform setting factors. International entrepreneurs can also benefit by understanding the practical specifications of the cross-border e-commerce and looking at platform structural performance determinants. The managerial implication suggested in this paper can be applied in their strategic decision-making which enhances a firm performance and helps to engage with the global economy.

“…Therefore, these studies have focused on the advantages and characteristics of networks formed in the clusters. In this regard, they have already zoomed out on knowledge management and innovation subjects aiming to understand the knowledge transfer process in networks and clusters (Hoffman, Lopes, & Medeiros, 2014;Lai, Hsu, Lin, Chen, & Lin, 2014;Tomaszuk, 2017b). Since, as one of the most important potentials of clustering, "innovation" has declared that SMEs are interested in the underlined competitive advantage of clusters (Elexa, Lesáková, Klementová, & Klement, 2019).…”
