“…This has also been discovered when Tuan et al ’s (2016) study found positive impacts by process, marketing and organizational innovations on firm performance. Other studies have also established that innovative capabilities do significantly impact a firm’s performance (El Chaarani and El Abiad, 2019; Afriyie et al , 2019; Hsieh and Lin, 2010). This is also reaffirmed by Cai and Li (2018), who said that, when different types of innovations, such as eco-innovation, are adopted, it can ominously boost a firm’s performance, and indirectly impact its financial performance.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reveal the impact of strategic competitive innovation types on the financial performance of SMEs during a very critical period: the COVID-19 pandemic. Four strategic competitive innovation types are considered in this study: marketing innovation, organizational innovation, product innovation and processes innovation. Design/methodology/approach To examine empirically the relationship between strategic competitiveness and financial performance, data were collected from a sample of 426 Lebanese SMEs belonging to seven different sectors. Findings The empirical findings of principle component analysis model (PCA) and multiple regression model (MR) reveal that the ability to innovate is essential to an SME’s survival during a crisis. The results of this study confirm the existence of a positive impact of marketing innovation and processes innovation on the financial performance of SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Practical implications Moreover, results suggest that, in Lebanese SMEs, product innovation and organizational innovation do not have any impact on the financial performance during the pandemic period. Originality/value This research focused on strategic competitive innovation as a broadly considered essential condition for the survival of SMEs during the COVID-19 crises.

“…In addition, other studies of the same nature, namely Adusei (2015), Caprio and Klingebiel (2002) and Demirgüç-Kunt and Huizinga (1999), supported the importance of bank profitability in predicting financial distress and bank crisis. In other words, the investigation into the profitability determinants among commercial banks is called for, in terms of the banks' competitiveness, overall stability and efficiency (Adelopo et al, 2018;Al-Harbi, 2019;C apraru & Ihnatov, 2015;Dietrich & Wanzenried, 2014;El-Chaarani, 2019;Menicucci & Paolucci, 2016).…”

“…In fact, the financial crisis that broke out in 2007-2008 brought researchers towards directing their focus to the issue (Al-Harbi, 2019;Bourke, 1989;Menicucci & Paolucci, 2016;Short, 1979). Thus, the consequential global financial crisis and its outcome among the global system worldwide highlight the significance of maintaining the stability of banking system (Al-Harbi, 2019;Batten & Xuun Vinh, 2017;Batten & Vo, 2019;El-Chaarani, 2019;Menicucci & Paolucci, 2016).…”

“…Prior works dedicated to baking profitability are based on various perspectives; for instance, Short (1979) and Bourke's (1989) pioneering studies led the way in examining such determinants using cross-country data sets (Abdul Hadi, Hussain, Suryanto, & Eddy Yap, 2018;Al-Harbi, 2019;Aspachs, Nier, & Tiesset, 2005;Boateng, 2018;Chowdhury & Rasid, 2015;Cucinelli, 2013;El-Chaarani, 2019;Le & Ngo, 2020;Menicucci & Paolucci, 2016;Zolkifli, Samsudin, & Yusof, 2019). Other authors made use of individual country data sets with the same objective of examining bank profitability determinants, and these include Al-Homaidi, Tabash, Farhan, and Almaqtari (2018), Ali and Puah (2019), Almaqtari, Al-Homaidi, Tabash, and Farhan (2019), Batten and Xuun Vinh (2017), Berihunengida (2015), Bibi and Mazhar (2019), Bolarinwa et al (2019), Ayele (2012), Munteanu (2012), and Pillai and Al-Malkawi (2018).…”

The motivation of this study stems from the mixed views concerning the determinants of bank profitability and the moderating role of bank liquidity in the relationship. The study primarily aims to investigate the bank profitability determinants among GCC nations. Data are obtained from the GCC banks for the period from 2000 to 2018, and then data are analysed using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. On the basis of the obtained findings, the size of the bank and the management of assets significantly impact the GCC banks' performance. In addition, bank liquidity has a moderating role in the relationship between capital adequacy and assets quality, and GCC banks' performance. Further analysis shows that the bank's profitability score has a positive association. In addition, bank liquidity has a positive moderate effect relationship between the bank's profitability score and the GCC bank's performance. This study provides implications for the bank profitability determinants in emerging economies, within which there is common profitability, and this is expected to assist policymakers, regulators and shareholders in discerning the banks' attractiveness towards investors.

“…Lebanon’s local and international NGOs play a fundamental role in the provision of services, delivering welfare, technical, legal and financial services to the huge poor community. Lebanon is suffering from economic recession, government corruption and political crises since 2010, and thus has led to an increase in the level of poverty (El-Chaarani and El-Abiad, 2017; El-Chaarani and El-Abiad, 2019). The development role of NGOs in Lebanon extends to precipitating social change and policy reforms through direct lobbying and social advocacy.…”

Purpose Social entrepreneurship is gradually becoming a potent driving force for economic and social development in developing countries as a result of governance deficits. The purpose of this study is to examine the determinant factors of successful social entrepreneurship in the emerging circular economy of Lebanon. The objective extends to exploring the mediating role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the success of social entrepreneurship in Lebanon. Design/methodology/approach Using a cross-sectional survey design, the authors collected primary data from 389 social entrepreneurs through questionnaires in selected locations in Lebanon. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypotheses were tested using linear regression and structural equation modeling (SEM) for predicting the impact of independent variable on the dependent variable. The validity, progressive and various models fits were tested using root mean square of approximation, root mean square of residuals, standard root mean square residuals, incremental fit index, fitness of the extracted and non-normal fit index. Findings The SEM estimations reveal that three main factors determine the success of social entrepreneurs in Lebanon, namely, environmental factors, psychological factors and prior experience. Moreover, the results reveal that support of NGOs positively moderates the relationships between the success of social entrepreneurship and two different variables (psychological factors and environmental factors), but failed to moderate the relationships between success of social entrepreneurship and four variables (experience, education, leadership and founding team composition). Originality/value The study contributes to the entrepreneurship and circular economy literature by explicating empirically the determinant factors of successful social entrepreneurship in Lebanon’s emerging circular economy. It also provides a fact-based social awareness on the role of local and international NGOs in supporting the social entrepreneurs in driving the idea of a circular economy. The study also validates multiple entrepreneurship theories.
