This study examined the technological factor's utilization to promote the e-commerce in small and medium sized enterprises in Bangladesh. The technological factors are, Information and communication adoption, Internet connectivity, and Business data management. The e-commerce adoption factors involve the strategic innovation, research and development activity, and Productivity growth. The electronic commerce is being widely adopted in Bangladesh in the time of covid-19 pandemic. In the adoption of e-commerce, prominent factors are the internet connectivity, which plays a major role and Business data management which has equal importance for SMEs. SMEs have limited access to data as compared to multinational industries. However, the data has equal importance for multinational and SMEs to improve the e-commerce business. The research collects data from 115 SMEs from Bangladesh relating to different fields. The random selection method has been advised to collect data from SMEs aged not less than five years. The data collected for this research is through the interested parties of small and medium sized enterprises in Bangladesh. The data of the research is interpreted and analyzed through statistical software SPSS.

“…For instance, a massive stream of studies has associated innovation performance with entrepreneurs' long-term sustenance and development (Bilal and Fatima, 2022). Nevertheless, there is an increasing gravity of interest in studying factors that might result in increased innovation performance (Carrasco-Carvajal et al., 2022). For instance, scholars have linked entrepreneurial passion (Newman et al., 2021), entrepreneurial optimism (Dai et al., 2017) and psychological factors (Li et al., 2018) as the crucial recipes of enhanced innovation performance.…”

“…First, an increasing scholarly writing suggests that there is a dire need to examine factors that can contribute to enhanced entrepreneurs' innovation performance (Tang et al., 2022). Second, entrepreneurs in the SME sector lack abundant cash reserves and human capital, which inhibit their abilities to leverage sustainable competitive advantage (Carrasco-Carvajal et al., 2022). Therefore, exploring individual factors as the chief stimuli of entrepreneurs' innovation performance is timely and pertinent.…”

PurposeDeliberate practice, an iterative process, has garnered increasing attention of researchers and practitioners in entrepreneurship and business domains in the recent years. However, research studies are on rise that found its positive correlates with superior performance. Nevertheless, whether the relationship always holds positive is an intriguing question that wedged the authors’ attention to probe the causal mechanism that might scrutinize the association otherwise. The purpose of the study is to build on the social cognitive theory and the attribution theory to project that deliberate practice deteriorates innovation performance due to augmented creative self-efficacy (CSE). While, individuals who draw on their mindfulness can overcome the harmful effects of increased CSE on innovation performance, subsequently translating deliberate practice into enhanced innovation performance through CSE.Design/methodology/approachThe authors gather data from 312 entrepreneurs in the small and medium enterprises using a time-lagged research design and analyze the results using SmartPLS (v 4.0).FindingsThe findings reveal that deliberate practice significantly affects CSE of entrepreneurs. Besides, deliberate practice negatively influences innovation performance through CSE. In addition, the study finds that mindfulness significantly moderates the relationships between CSE and innovation performance and deliberate practice and innovation performance through CSE.Originality/valueThis is the first study that examines a moderated mediated model of CSE as a deteriorating agent and mindfulness as a coping mechanism between deliberate practice and innovation performance of entrepreneurs. The study highlights several essential theoretical and practical implications.

Facing the new challenges in production processes, companies should adopt lean and green practices in product development. In SMEs, the application of these practices is more complex. This work explores the maturity of lean–green methodologies in the product development process in Brazilian and Japanese SMEs. The methodology used is multicriteria, combining the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS 2-tuple method, applied to four Japanese SMEs and four Brazilian SMEs in the metalworking sector. The criteria for evaluating SMEs are company flexibility, difficulties with NPD, innovation, limited resources, and personnel authority high. The TOPSIS method alternatives refer to 18 lean–green enablers. In the AHP method, the prioritisation of criteria between Japanese and Brazilian specialists presented divergences. In the Japanese context, the incidence of innovation is predominant, while in the Brazilian context, the most important is the limited resources. In the TOPSIS 2-tuple method, the results showed a higher level of maturity in lean–green methodologies in Japanese companies than in Brazilian ones. Lean practices are more evolved compared to sustainable practices in both countries. The study also addressed how open innovation adoption may contribute to innovation and NPD practices. Policymakers need to understand the heterogeneity of innovators within SMEs and how they differently innovate, developing distinct internal and external activities.
