“…According to the study in technology SMEs in India, it is confirmed that R&D intensity positively affects organizational performance [76]. The enhancement of technologies in the organization serves as a catalyst to encourage the development of strategic resources, supporting firms to succeed and maintain a competitive advantage with implications for future organizational performance [77]. One of the components of value creation in this study is knowledge creation.…”

This research aims to study the effects of technological organization, management of cost innovation, and value creation. The population in this study was the canned and instant food export companies, which are crucial industries that earn incomes for Thailand. The quantitative research method was carried out using questionnaires sent to all companies (census) with the manufacturing managers as respondents. The survey revealed that these companies had a high level of technological organization, value creation, and cost innovation, except for reducing unnecessary functions at a moderate level because the products need to maintain customer demand; therefore, unnecessary adjustments may not be made. PLS-SEM assesses the reflective and structural models to test the research hypotheses. The findings revealed significant influences among three pairs of constructs: (1) technological organization had a positive effect on cost innovation, (2) cost innovation had a positive effect on value creation, and (3) technological organization had a positive effect on value creation. Thus, this research provides empirical information for the influences among the variables and presents the significance of being a technological organization and the inclusion of cost innovation management, to maintain their business during the COVID-19 pandemic and improve the organizational potential for preparation in future circumstances.

“…Finally, ownership does not affect POS profitability while it affects SOS profitability only for P (private ownership). While a few scholars have ownership as an important factor in performance (Chatterjee and Bhattacharjee, 2020; Rao and Kumar, 2018), ownership as a governance structure has been seldom discussed in the context of developing countries. Ownership is a key driver in SMEs due to psychological and personal involvement aspects (Fesharaki, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of governance – a proxy for network effects on small and medium enterprises (SME) growth through access to new markets. Specifically, investigate how export intensity (EI) and performance are affected. This study also tests related theories, given the growth in the post-liberalization setting of a developing economy. Specifically, this study tests Uppsala and born global (BG) perspectives for internationalization and resource-based view for performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors collect secondary data for each SME over a 20 year period from a growth-oriented developing economy – India. This period is after the liberalization of the Indian economy. Thus, the authors test the hypotheses in this context. The authors expect that exports would surge for SMEs given the governance structures considered. The authors consider several governance modes and two types of product classifications, namely, products and services. Findings The authors find conditional support for the two models – indicating that governance structures do not consistently support finding new markets. Further, given the governance structure, EI is not consistently a means to improved performance. This is contrary to the expectations. However, at the same time, the authors do find evidence that governance matters and affects products and services differently. Research limitations/implications While the authors conduct research in India which has a variety of cultures and state policies, the authors still believe comparative study with multi-country data from developing countries might bring further insights. Further, primary data would also help to understand governance and motivational effects (the authors did not consider the later). Implications: The authors believe the research will have implications for policy since the authors find effects of governance. Hence, specific policies that improve the performance of a governance type could be adopted. Practical implications Although SMEs are affected by many factors, the authors find significant effects for important variables. Hence, the authors believe the government could use the study to design proper policies so that new markets could be discovered through different governance forms, through strategic investment and capacity building. Social implications SMEs are a key part of the social fabric of a society/country. The work deals with how SMEs could be helped. Hence, the authors believe the work has important implications for society. Further, as the work deals with large firm-SME interfaces, the authors also inform how these different governance structures are performing and where attention is needed. Originality/value The authors find that certain governance-type and SME-type work well together. Further, networks through the governance structures help find new markets – depending on SME-type. The authors find partial support for the Uppsala model and also for the BG model, again depending on the SME-type.

“…The size of the enterprise plays an important role in the organization of innovative activity—Corsi et al indicate that while small enterprises characterized by a high level of flexibility relatively easily adapt innovations to introducing organizational changes in order to improve their effectiveness, large enterprises face resistance related to the acceptance and integration of innovations [ 76 ]. However, it is worth noting that high-tech SMEs engage more in product development and process innovation, whereas non-high-tech SMEs tend to associate more in organizational and market innovations [ 77 ]. A similar observation is made by Hirsch-Kreinsen, pointing out that SMEs not related to advanced technologies limit their own R&D activity, but given the limited formalization of knowledge creation and use, innovative activities usually take the form of application-oriented practical knowledge Hirsch-Kreinsen [ 45 ].…”

This paper analyses the female gender as a one of the factors that may influence product and process innovativeness of small enterprises. The data discussed come from an empirical study of 1017 small enterprises from the Kujawsko-pomorskie region in central-northern Poland. The theoretical framework suggests three areas of factors that may influence small enterprises innovativeness: the entrepreneur’s gender, innovation management capability, and firm characteristics. The results of the study suggest that the female gender of the entrepreneur has a positive impact on the product and process innovativeness of small enterprises. In the group of small enterprises managed by female entrepreneurs the chances of introducing product innovation are higher by 83.7%, process innovation by 56%, and product and process innovation together by 82.1%.
