“…This means that innovation is the driving force of the economy, a source of enterprise competitiveness and an opportunity to improve the living conditions of the society. The similar view is held by Shatilo (2019), who argued that an important factor of the company advancement is strategic management of innovation process. R&D can promote growth in total factor productivity (TFP) by helping to absorb new technologies embodied in foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign trade (Shen et al, 2019).…”

During the years 2000-2018, the number of enterprises conducting research and development activity in Poland was increasing systematically, thus the expenditures on research and development were increasing as well. The impact of R&D activity on the level of innovation of both enterprises and entire economies is related to objective and subjective structure of these expenditures which means that is not connected only with the value of the expenditures for its financing. The purpose of this paper is to present the level of expenditures on R&D in the business enterprise sector in Poland, in comparison to Eurozone countries and to analyze the convergence of value of these expenditures in Poland. The authors of the article used description and analysis of the statistical data obtained from the EUROSTAT and the GUS (General Statistical Office in Poland) statistics and estimation of econometric models and testing the occurrence of sigma and beta convergence. Based on the results we state that the key issue is to further activate Polish enterprises within the sphere of research and development, because Poland, in comparison with Eurozone countries, ranks within the group of countries with low expenditures on research and development and with structures characteristic of less prosperous economies. The study allowed determination of occurrence of sigma and beta convergence in Poland, in comparison with the Eurozone countries.

“…They have impacts on several aspects of enterprise operation and the management of innovation. Those components allow us to determine its competitive position, the position that the enterprises occupy in the industries, and a special market integration, according to the company's performance compared to other enterprises [40,41] From this view, the strengths and weaknesses are judged as internal factors (priorities), while opportunities and threats are external factors [42][43][44]. It is clearly observed that the SWOT technique provides a descriptive investigation and assessment to analyze the quantifiable selected components [45][46][47].…”

Exploring the Optimistic Approaches and Directives of Cameroon’s Textile Sector for Reliable Development

Cameroon is one of the largest producers of cotton in Central Africa. Currently, Cameroon’s textile sector is facing problems regarding manufacturing that restrict the expectations of various shareholders in the sector. This study examined accurate and strategically reliable instructions for the Cameroonian textile sector by utilizing explorative and depictive techniques and properly applying the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and AHP (analytic hierarchy process) approaches to perform a pivotal analysis after several surveys of the textile sector in Cameroon. The SWOT–AHP strategy was used in the case of secondary data sources. The resulting analysis underlines the strategic challenges and enhances the textile sector’s competing capability. The weakness and opportunity (WO) strategy broadly had the greatest significance, which indicated, correspondingly, that this strategy should be prioritized for use in the Cameroonian textile sector. Governmental authorities should serve a controlling function rather than a decision-making one, thus facilitating improvements in the management of businesses. Furthermore, it suggested that efforts must be made by the government to promote workforce education and skill development, as well as update obsolete technology, which are currently the deficiencies of the textile sector. Additionally, to add value to the national economy’s capacity, Cameroon should slowly transform its cotton exports to finished textile goods within the country. To achieve this, the government, through a framework of collaboration with foreign companies, should industrialize, deregulate, and denationalize the textile industry and reduce taxes and withdrawal quotas to serve the interests of investors.

“…the variables that affect the performance of construction firms. Even though the construction industry has a good understanding of performance management, the nature of environmental elements' impact as intangible or tangible resources on total performance is still uncertain [18,19]. These external influences can put pressure on businesses to detect their advantages and shortcomings, as well as fashion processes for recognising and adapting to pertinent business opportunities and changing corporate settings for either the reduction or elimination of economic risks towards performance enhancement.…”

While investigating how environmental factors affect the performance of construction enterprises has remained a topical issue in the literature, many concerns about these factors, particularly in developing nations, are still unresolved. This study empirically examines specific environmental drivers affecting construction firms' performance and establishes the role of institutional pressures on construction firms' performance outcomes. Primary data were gathered from a sample of 197 respondents working in Syria's construction industry and were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). When considering the impact of some environmental factors (economic environment, human capital, leadership, communication culture, socio-cultural environment, and political environment) on construction firm performance, the findings revealed that institutional pressures (coercive, mimetic, and normative) play a mediating role. However, the mediating influence of institutional pressures on the technological environment and performance of construction firms was not significant, thus indicating the need for more research. The findings of this study make a substantial addition to the current discussion about the most important environmental factors impacting construction firm performance. This study adds to the current debate about the causes of poor performance in construction firms by assisting managers in recognising the impact of the mentioned factors above on a firm's performance.
