“…Aziz & Kassim (2020) also highlighted the majority of Malaysians were unaware that other financial goods, such as insurance, were also crucial to cover unforeseen occurrences, and only knew that one's income must always be sufficient to meet bills. In overall, there wasn't much saved.Raising financial literacy is one of the knowledge capacities that needs to be enhanced and is the most crucial factor in enhancing the financial performance of SMEs (Bawono et al, 2022). Low financial literacy among owners of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia may start from a limited level of education and economic knowledge (Aziz & Kassim, 2020).…”

This article examines Malaysian SMEs' sustainable performance concerns and challenges on Peninsular Malaysia's East Coast. This study examines the uncertainty of the pandemic-toendemic transition in the context of COVID-19 variations like Delta and Omicron. SME's sustainable performance and impact on Malaysia's economic growth are analysed. The study found that financial literacy, market obstacles, economic uncertainty, ICT literacy, and social capital inefficiencies affect SMEs' sustainability. Financial literacy is assessed as crucial to SME's investment decisions and risk management. Market challenges and economic uncertainties, compounded by the epidemic, are examined in the East Coast region. Technological literacy and the restricted acceptability of ICT also affect SME's competitiveness, according to the report. The report also discusses how social capital helps SMEs improve industrial relations. Lack of communication and understanding between SMEs' owners and stakeholders may hinder corporate success. The article indicates that SME sustainability variables must be studied in individual sectors and industries. Technological efficiency, market literacy, economic uncertainty, and industrial relations management should be studied to understand SMEs' sustainability. The study seeks to help SMES' owners, business consultants, and policymakers promote sustainable performance and economic growth in Malaysia's changing business climate, particularly on the East Coast.

“…Compared to Mayr et al (2017) who suggest strategic relocation of the company's operations to be important to overcome economic crisis and to achieve sustainable turnover. Bawono et al (2022) note that SMEs lack the resources and knowledge to use technology to help them increase efficiency in their production processes, conduct further analysis and measure their performance. They operate in socialized and networking environments (Colovic et al, 2019).…”

The financial management of a business is an integral part of strategic management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are vulnerable to the presence of crisis events in the business environment. In this context, senior managers and owners need to react promptly to emerging changes in a given business segment. The aim of the article is to quantify the effect of crisis events in business and firm’s CSR implementation in business on the financial performance in the SMEs. The empirical research incorporated 1,090 SMEs in the business environment of four Central European countries. The research hypotheses were evaluated using structural equation modelling. The empirical findings confirmed the positive impact of CSR implementation in the enterprise on its financial management. The research results did not confirm the negative effects of crisis events in business on the financial management. Crisis phenomena have direct effects on the sustainability of the enterprise; the organizational activities of the enterprise; the functioning of the enterprise in the market and the management of the enterprise. The findings are used as a basis for the preparation of strategic projects of national and international policies helping to cope with crisis phenomena in the business environment of the SME segment.
