“…Table 6 lists the AVE value of each construct, and since all the values are greater than 0.5, we concluded that the theoretical model has enough convergent validity. Discriminant validity measures whether one construct is different from another construct [64]. We measured discriminant validity as suggested by Fornell and Larcker [65]; that is, if the square root of the AVE of a construct was greater than its correlation coefficient with another construct, the two constructs were considered to be different from each other.…”

Improvement projects (IPs) are a fundamental element in any quality management system from any organization. In Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), IPs are constantly implemented to maintain excellence in academic and administrative processes. In this study, we propose a model for IP implementation that is based on the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP). As a part of the model, we propose a series of research hypotheses to be tested. The data used to test the hypotheses were gathered from a questionnaire that was developed after an extensive literature review. The survey was administered to Mexican public HEIs, and more than 700 responses were collected. The data were assessed in terms of convergent and discriminant validity, obtaining satisfactory results. To test the proposed relationships between the model constructs, we utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the software IBM SPSS Amos. The analysis confirmed the statistical validity of both the model and the hypotheses. In conclusion, our model for IP implementation is a useful tool for HEIs that seek to attain excellence in their processes through IPs.

[2] All these phenomena are under a general term that describes the company's ability to compete in the market. [3] Investment in intangible assets (patents, know-how, trademarks, designs, software) is still under the pressure of global competition in recent decades, a significant source of competitive advantage.…”

In today’s world full of changes, whether the advent of new technologies that are authoritative and will be a trend for many economic sectors or impact Covid epidemic whose effects are still unaware can be sure that the changes in consumer preferences and aggregate demand and increasingly more competition between the largest economies in geographical terms, all this puts more importance on research and development. It is expected a new impetus in the field of patents that will respond to new impulses from the market. Monitor the development of patents over the last year in the broader perspective implies growth or decline in individual industries and economies, are interesting differences in the intensity of new know-how even within different regions of the world.

“…This concentration can be synchronized in the realm of evolving global economic concerns, escalating poverty incidences, relentless income inequalities, altering social structures, and widening socioeconomic gaps. The increased interest in the small and medium enterprises upholds a valid approach, considering the comprehensive research evidence that asserts the small and medium firms to be a critical driving force of economic progress (Kharub & Sharma, 2020).…”

This paper aims to explore prospects and opportunities of the use of Social Media Marketing tools by Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan, to develop and promote their business. The research data findings postulate the fact that the SMEs constitute over 90 percent of 3.2 million business enterprises listed under the Economic Census of Pakistan (2005,) generate 25 percent of manufacturing export earnings and contribute 30 percent to the annual GDP in the country. Despite this fact, the SMEs are considered to be less formally organized sector of the economy relative to large enterprises, have limited access to financial resources and are limited to their scale of production. Social Media Marketing, on the other hand, operates on a less complex organizational structure, requires lower financial investments and even makes an organization appear to be larger than its actual size. These analogous attributes establish a correlation between SMEs and Social Media Marketing. This paper intends to identify the various possibilities which can contribute to the growth and development of the SME sector in Pakistan. The study examines the data evidence and empirically tests the correlation between SME business progress & social media as a mode of business promotion. Consequently, this research paper focuses on how small businesses can use Social Media not only for advertising and marketing their products and services but also for building the business overall, employing transactional mechanisms, sharing information with customers and receiving their feedback and recommendations on a regular basis.
