“…Indirectly, the study supports work of Cwynar, et al [130] that entrepreneurship orientation plays a vital role in shaping the organizational competitiveness, which adds to sustainability. In addition to that, Sulphey and Alkahtani [131], Rafinda, et al [132] also confirmed, to some extent, that board diversity reduces risk and promotes sustainability via entrepreneurial ventures.…”

The automobile industry has significantly contributed towards China’s economy. After producing approximately 24.5 million vehicles in 2015, China’s automobile industry has achieved its greatest height by emerging worldwide as the top automobile producer. However, China’s automobile industry could not sustain this achievement and it witnessed a sudden growth rate decrease in 2016–2017, reflecting their poor export performance. To address this problem, the prime objective of this research is to explore the roles of total quality management (TQM), entrepreneurial orientation (EO), export market orientation (EMO), brand orientation (BO) and cleaner production (CP) in firm export performance (FEP). For this reason, a quantitative research approach with cross-sectional research design was adopted by gathering the data from 347 respondents working as export managers at Chinese automobile companies via simple random technique. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) through software smartPLS-3.2.7 employed to analyze data. Results revealed that the TQM, EO, EMO, BO, and CP has a significant association with FEP. Additionally, findings confirmed CP as a moderating variable that contributes positively to FEP. The research has eminently contributed to the export performance of the automobile industry, specifically in China. It is very beneficial to practitioners in the Chinese automobile industry as it will assist them in regaining and exceeding their record export performance while also contributes to resource-based-view theory.

“…However, SMEs have many issues and problems which are unique to them. One of the major issues is sustainability (Sulphey & Al Kahtani, 2017). For instance, SMEs find it difficult to retain talents as they cannot afford to match the pay and benefits offered by large industries and compete with them.…”

Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role for the development of any economy. Multiple studies with respect to various aspects and dimensions of SMEs have been undertaken. Some of the problems faced by SMEs from the side of the employees include performance management issues, employee issues like strikes, go slow tactics, and so on. However, studies that explore the issues as perceived by employers are scarce. The present research is undertaken to find out the various human resource issues as perceived by employers. Data for the present study was collected from 60 SMEs. The organizations belonged to various sectors. Factor Analysis was performed to identify the factors. The analysis identified two factors as perceived by employers regarding human resource issues in SMEs. The reliability and validity of the factors were also assessed, which was found to be sufficiently high. A few suggestions for further research are also presented.

In modern Russia, the criminalization of the economy has become one of the most acute problems, a nationwide negative factor that undermines the authority of the authorities, destroys the foundations of statehood, and, as a result, creates a threat to the country's economic security. These circumstances dictate the need to quickly make optimal decisions that can protect the national economy from the negative effects of an illegal and criminal economy, as well as corruption as the basis of the shadow economy of Russia. Today we can say that the economic foundations of corruption, organized crime and terrorism are a kind of an independent sector of the economy. Corruption is beginning to seriously affect the decline in economic growth, the decline in the potential of civil society institutions, the violation of human rights, and other negative effects on the legal system. To achieve the goals, criminal structures use all means at their disposal: influence through government bodies and at the diplomatic level, special services, organized criminal communities, terrorist organizations, banking structures, non-profit and non-governmental organizations, subjects of criminal and shadow economy, etc. Analysis of market relations, the Russian economy gives the right to understand that the national economy in the position in which it is located cannot get out of the state of criminalization without reviewing and forming new relationship mechanisms.
