“…Likewise, a study by [83] indicated that the top market players could make industry standards, and these standers force other firms of the market to follow them. Therefore, it implies that to maintain the position of competitiveness, SMEs must adopt the technology to grab maximum market share both at local and international level and such activity upsurge the confidence level of the customers and help the company to increase their sales to pay back the investment in a short period [47,84] which eventually increases firm performance [85][86][87]. The above discussion proposed the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 7.…”

The study investigates the mediating role of e-commerce through organizational and environmental factors with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance. The study follows a cross-sectional survey method approach. The study’s theoretical foundation is based on the resource-based view (RBV) and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. The current research identifies four manufacturing SMEs’ strata based on participation in the country’s exports using a stratified proportional random sampling technique. The research questionnaires were distributed among 700 top and middle-level managers of manufacturing SMEs. The data were analyzed by applying partial least square structural equational modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationship between the exogenous, mediator, and endogenous variables. The finding reveals that top management support and competitive pressure have a significant positive impact on the use of e-commerce direct and mediation. At the same time, the adoption cost and government support have an insignificant impact on e-commerce usage. This study results can be used to enhance the use of e-commerce in Pakistan’s manufacturing SMEs to improve the country’s overall exports.

The automotive industry has lately been undergoing major changes having a considerable impact on the whole vehicle sector. This does not only refer to what is technologically new on vehicles themselves, but also to the new modern management methods, frequently associated with the Industry 4.0 concept. As well as other companies, car factories are pushing their costs downwards to increase their production efficiency. This paper analyses the economic situation of 5 car manufacturers, two of which having their factories in the Czech Republic and three in Germany. The task was to ascertain efficiency of individual companies in order to propose possible improvements. To do this, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for two models (CCR - model based on Charnes, Cooper & Rhodes and BCC - model based on Banker, Charnes & Cooper) was used. The BCC model was found to be more applicable to the established efficiencies, than the CCR one.

“…A business that can effectively introduce technological innovation also has a strong market orientation (Lin, Lee, & Hung, 2006) and driven economic growth (Kim, 2019). Nowadays, the word innovation becomes the main agenda in business and its synonym for the company's survival and development, thus, "innovate or die" (Xin, Chen, Zhang, & Sun, 2019;Abbasi, Motavasseli, Zali, Faghih, & Meigounpoory, 2019) Technological innovation is intended to establish market value (Liao, Liu, & Zhang, 2018) and increase firms' performance (Nwosu, Awurum, & Okoli, 2015;Rahim & Zainuddin, 2019). It is evident in the history of business that successful innovators are more likely to succeed (Chen & Ibhagui, 2019) and those who do not progress appear to not survive in the sector (Azubuike, 2013).…”

Scholars have given increased attention to seek for a solution to improve firms’ performance. The literature demonstrated that technology innovation is considered the most powerful means of firms’ performance for modern companies. Empirical findings showed, however, that the relationship between technological innovation and firms’ performance continues to be inconclusive as it has a negative, positive or no impact on firms’ performance. In order to address such gap, this paper proposes a theoretical framework to describe the moderating effect of directors’ network on technological innovation and firms’ performance. It shows that the effectiveness of business innovation can be enhanced through direct or indirect use of each network of directors. The firm still neglects the significant capacity of the board of directors' network in a firm. In short, the crucial discussion found in this paper will lead to improving the information on innovation, networking and organizational studies as well as act as a reference to study in other countries. This study is a promising field. The business will benefit from a large social network of directors. Thus, the company is proposing to fully utilize the function of directors’ network to leverage the innovation activities and firm’s performance.
