“…An organization must be proactive not only in detecting environmental signals but also seize opportunities immediately to be successful. Ali et al (2020) argues that a company, to be successful, must continuously scan its environment to adapt to it. Environmental uncertainty has a negative impact on organizations, especially on cash flow, return on investment, and market share.…”

Within these dynamics and disruptive eras, it is crucial for all kinds of organization to build and ensure their competencies in increasing their performance and maintaining their position, including for SMEs. This study aims to identify the role of exploitative and organizational learning in influencing SMEs' performance. It also considers the moderating role of environmental dynamism as the conditional factor that underlies the relationship. We carried out the study on 150 SMEs in Jakarta, Indonesia, which was chosen using purposive sampling. The data is collected by distributing an online questionnaire to the respondents, which is then processed and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS. The results of this study indicate that exploitative learning and organizational learning lead to higher SME performance. Furthermore, this influence is more potent when SMEs exist within a dynamic environment, as they will feel the necessity to learn more to face the challenges and seize the opportunities.

Despite the centrality of international opportunity concept in international entrepreneurship field, SMEs’ internationalization literature has focused mainly on SMEs’ international performance with limited attention paid by researchers to understanding the factors influencing the identification of international opportunities especially among mature internationalized SMEs. To this end, the current study examined the impact of SMEs managers’ global mindset (GM) and adaptive marketing capabilities (AMCs) on international opportunity identification (IOI) among mature Chinese SMEs with emphasis on the moderating impact of export market dynamism (EMD). Initial exploratory study using interviews with five managers of exporting SMEs was conducted to figure the relevance of GM and AMC in explaining IOI; and the presence of EMD. Later, self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from founders/managers of 217 exporting SMEs. Findings showed that IOI is positively influenced by SME manager’s GM and AMCs. Despite the presence of EMD, it had no significant moderating impact on the relationship between GM and AMCs; and IOI. In the respondents’ characteristics analysis, it was revealed that no significant statistical impact of SME’s size, SME’s age, and SME manager’s international experience on IOI. This paper ends with drawing a set of implications and future research avenues.

“…If it is appropriate, it is necessary to make a new plan in order to achieve the business development objectives, but if it is not appropriate, then it is necessary to find the root cause of the non-conformity and include it in the action plan for the next period of time, so that the financial management can continue to be carried out on an ongoing basis. This is explained by Ali et al (2020;Iborra et al 2020;Saunila, 2020) that financial statements play a very important role in businesses of any scale, in addition to being a reference for business owners in making decisions, also especially to obtain an overview of the company's financial performance, profit or loss. Likewise on the micro, small and medium scale, good and orderly records will help a business actor to know what transactions his business has made during a certain period.…”
