Based on previous studies, this study presents the role of dynamic capabilities and innovation in maintaining a competitive advantage for SMEs. This article is based on a literature review. Forty articles from JSTOR databases were selected for the study. The study period is between 2011 and 2020, and the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method was used. The results show that despite the contribution of Asian countries, almost 70% of studies on dynamic capabilities and innovation in SMEs in the Global North are conducted in Europe. Less attention has been paid to the Global South, which depends more on SMEs than large companies to enrich the economy. This study provides a clearer picture of the ideas through an empirical application that complements current vague notions. The author argues that more research needs to be done on dynamic capabilities and innovation in SMEs in the Global South.
在前人研究的基础上,本研究提出了动态能力和创新对中小企业保持竞争优势的作用。这篇文章是基于文献综述。从JSTOR数据库中选择40篇文章进行研究。研究期为2011 - 2020年,采用PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta - analysis)方法。结果表明,尽管亚洲国家做出了贡献,但全球北方中小企业动态能力和创新的研究中,近70%是在欧洲进行的。全球南方国家受到的关注较少,它们更多地依赖中小企业而不是大公司来丰富经济。本研究提供了一个更清晰的画面,通过一个经验的应用,补充目前模糊的概念。作者认为,需要对全球南方中小企业的动态能力和创新进行更多的研究。

Sustainable development and the reduction of the use of non-renewable resources are gradually becoming central issues for the EU growth plans. In the face of those inevitable changes, the voluntary labeling system – EU Ecolabel – is gaining in importance. The aim of the study was to conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature on the EU Ecolabel labeling system and to identify and evaluate the existing trends. In the course of the study, the main research trends regarding labeling were determined. Among the most popular research topics were those relating to a specific category of products. Within this group, the largest number of studies in the analyzed period concerned issues related to tourism. Of particular value are the publications introducing the basis for defining criteria for new products, which so far have not been subject to the EU Ecolabel certification. A negative conclusion from the conducted review is the low involvement of researchers from Poland in the studies on the EU Ecolabel.

The article is devoted to the formulation and systematization of the principles of functioning of the institution of self-employment as a specific institutional socio-economic system. The improvement of the existing approach to the dichotomy of the institution of self-employment into formal and informal institutional components due to the identification of semi-formal institutional formations in the field of self-employment is substantiated. Semi-formal institutional formations mean informal institutions in the field of self--employment, which have certain features of formal ones, and are formed in response to the functional insufficiency of formal institutions of self-employment, in particular, web portals and online freelance exchanges. The principles of functioning of formal, informal and semi-formal components of the self-employment institution are formulated, common features and differences in forming systems of principles of different components of the self--employment institute are determined, which can become the basis for resolving contradictions that arise in the field of self-employment between informal and formal institutions in Ukraine.

In the article the system of monitoring and estimation of quality as the major element of realization of the client-oriented approach in the sphere of housing and communal services is considered. The proposed system of monitoring and evaluation of service quality is aimed at customer evaluation and integrated consideration of communal, housing, organizational, informational components and allows you to determine the effectiveness of the managing organizations. The organizational structure, based on the creation of two main units – back and front offices, which allows to implement a customer-oriented strategy, is also considered. Within the limits of the new organizational structure the system of revealing of need and opinions of owners of rooms in apartment houses by means of absentee voting with application of new information technologies is offered. Thus, the given system of monitoring and estimation of quality of housing and communal services will allow to realize feedback between consumers and the managing organizations, and to increase customer satisfaction of quality of services.

This paper further examines the influence of external auditor and board attributes on incidence of discretionary accruals and real earnings management in Nigeria. The sample size comprises fifty (50) purposively selected quoted non-financial firms for a 7 year period (2014–2020), culminating into a 350 dataset. The descriptive statistics depict absence of both discretionary accruals and real earnings management with either classifications dependent upon the auditor-type, board independence and profitability among quoted non-financial firms in Nigeria. The regression results indicate reduction in discretionary accruals owing to concerted audit efforts and lower board size while large profitable firms still possess the tendencies to use discretionary accruals in manipulating earnings. On real manipulative propensities by management, audit fees contribute greatly while auditor-type and presence of female directors on corporate boards exhibit negative and statistically significant association with real earnings management.

Most studies focus on developed economies when investigating resilience, creating a gap in research in developing countries. This study addresses two literature gaps by examining supplier collaboration's effect on supply chain flexibility, visibility, and velocity in an African business environment and assessing the relevance of company size to this relationship. This study used a descriptive design. The population and sample were 1332 and 264 respectively. 219 questionnaire copies informed the analysis and it was performed using percentages and a structural equation model. The study reveals that resource sharing is the most effective strategy for improving supply chain resilience and collaboration practices are most effective for supply chain flexibility. Organisations pursuing supply chain resilience can implement resource-sharing and information-sharing strategies to yield resilience. Additionally, managers must note that supplier collaboration may not yield similar results across all resilience performance measurements. Medium-scale firms must focus on information sharing to improve supply chain flexibility.

Given the importance of wisdom in leadership and the crucial role that wise leaders play within organizations, this study aimed at developing a psychometrically valid scale measuring wise leadership. Data were collected from three independent samples from France and Morocco (N=626). Exploratory factor analysis, first- and second-order confirmatory factor analyses, and structural equation modeling established the convergent and discriminant validities of the new wise leadership scale. Review of the extant literature, expert judgment technique and quantitative analyses across four studies yielded a 16-item scale designed to measure wise leadership (Wise Leadership Questionnaire [WLQ]). The driving forces of this pattern of leaders’ values, cognitions and behaviors are intellectual shrewdness, spurring action, moral conduct, and virtuous humility. This new wise leadership measure will be valuable for researchers and practitioners in understanding the pattern of wise leaders.

This paper aims to analyze the properties of earnings compared to cash flows based on persistence and predictive ability as fundamental attributes of relevance. Therefore, we collected financial data of 20 Algerian companies from 2011 to 2020, where 200 observations were employed using the model of Sloan (1996) that was adjusted by sales. According to the results, the earnings of Algerian companies are highly persistent, but their predictability is weak. However, cash flows are not persistent and have no predictive ability. Consequently, earnings quality in Algerian companies is better than the quality of cash flows. Based on our results, users of financial reports in Algerian companies should focus on earnings when making decisions and be cautious when using cash flows.
