“…Liargovas and Skandalis (2010) argue that the long-term competitive advantage in the global economy lies in localities with relationships, dynamics and knowledge that remote competitors cannot compare. Dohse and Schnier (2019) think that companies choose a location to gain benefit from local knowledge resources including human capital and technology. Moreover, in an economy of free movement of capital, goods and technology accompanied by the advancement of information technology, the role of the location for firm performance may decrease but still be a factor that has a major impact on firm performance (Dohse and Schnier, 2019).…”

PurposeThe aim of this article is to investigate the determinants of the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets: evidence from Vietnam.Design/methodology/approachThis article relies on the resource-based view to examine the factors affecting the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets. The method employed in the research is the generalized method of moments for testing hypotheses of data collected from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam in the period of 2013–2016.FindingsThe results show that factors such as the intensity of capital investment, age and size of the firm, labor productivity, foreign ownership, location, cost management effectiveness and export activities have a positive effect on the performance of Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises, while revenue growth rate, fixed assets and financial leverage tend to hinder their performance. This has brought important messages that the input markets and the business environment in emerging markets like Vietnam have not yet stimulated well-economic activities.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on a topic that has not been fully explored in small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets in general, and Vietnam in particular. Specifically, small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets reconfigure available resources and strengthen internal capabilities to overcome barriers of the shortages of strategic, rare and irreplaceable resources in order to improve their performance. This is a unique contribution to the existing literature and highlights the original value of this article.

“…This is tightly dependent on critical elements and factors such as organization human resources, organizational structure, core competency, main innovative idea, international competitors, firm location, investment, organization knowledge, technology infrastructure, etc. In this regard, many studies illustrated that corporate location (as mentioned above) has a significant effect on firm performance and innovation capacity (Brcic et al, 2010;Chen and Hsiao, 2013;V asquez-Urriago et al, 2016;Ferreira et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2019;Dohse and Schnier, 2019). However, some researchers claim that a stronger pro-business environment can lead to a higher level of innovation (Chen et al, 2019), and even their effects are different in various critical factors (Lai and Shyu, 2005).…”

PurposeScience and technology parks (STPs) have a limited capacity, which can create challenging conditions for applicants. This makes the location selection a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem to find and apply for the most appropriate STP with the highest accordance with the startup's requirements. This research aims to select the most appropriate STP to locate an international entrepreneurial pharmaceutical startup under uncertainty. Since drugs are generally produced domestically in developing countries such as Iran, the access of pharmaceutical startups to the resources provided by STPs can lead to overcoming competitors and improving the country's health system.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, the factors or attributes effective on startup location were extracted through a two-round Delphi method, which was performed among 15 experts within three groups. Subsequently, the determining factors were used to select the location of a pharmaceutical startup among possible STPs. In this regard, decision-makers were allowed to use different types of numbers to transfer their opinion. Afterward, the heterogeneous weighted aggregated sum product assessment (HWASPAS) method was applied to calculate the score of each alternative and rank them to place the studied startup successfully.FindingsThe results indicated that Tehran STP stands in the first place; however, if the decision was made based on single criterion like cost, some other STPs could be preferable, and many managers would lose this choice. Furthermore, the results of the proposed method were close to other popular heterogeneous MCDM approaches.Originality/valueA heterogeneous WASPAS is developed in this article for the first time to enable international entrepreneurs to imply their opinion with various values and linguistic variables to reduce the emphasis on accurate data in an uncertain environment.
