“…LP denotes the labor productivity variable generated from the firm's gross value-added per labor. Additionally, productive firms are expected to operate more efficiently; hence, they can generate higher export value than to the lessproductive firms (Aristei et al, 2013;Castellani & Fassio, 2019;Chevassus-Lozza et al, 2013;Silva & Forte, 2018;Sjöholm & Takii, 2008;Tomiura, 2007).…”

“…More evidence shows that the use imported inputs may induce the firm's production process that allows the firm to generate new exported products (Castellani & Fassio, 2019), expand its range of exported products (Bas & Strauss-Kahn, 2014), and improve its exported product quality (Xu & Mao, 2018). Furthermore, looking at the evidence above, the firm's export performance could be proxied into different variables, but the positive relationship remains dominant in the field of study.…”

Limiting imported inputs for Indonesian textile and apparel industries may inadvertently decelerate the industries’ export performance, because each subsector in the industries has its own characteristics. This study analyzes the use of imported inputs and firms’ exports in the Indonesian textile and apparel industries. It has employed unbalanced panel data from 2000–2015 with year gaps and estimated them using regression model. The main findings show that foreign input has a positive and significant impact on the firms’ exports, and the effect is larger on the apparels than the textiles when the industries are detangled. Although the result suggests a positive connection, the government may not fully liberalize all imported inputs for the industries. Instead, they may implement an effective protection scheme by relaxing tariffs on imported inputs for domestic production and imposing high tariffs imported inputs that have the potential to compete with domestic finished products.

“…In contrast to larger firms, within the SMEs context, economic sustainability and competitive advantages do not depend on physical and financial assets. Indeed, they are mostly influenced by entrepreneurs' ability and employees' knowledge [19,20]. As clearly highlighted by Vasudevan and Chawan [71], "in manufacturing SMEs, knowledge can come from owners, production managers, supervisors, workers, vendors, customers, consultants, conferences, social media, market orientation, knowledge portals, knowledge forums, books, case studies, research papers and the list goes on.…”

“…In the specific context of SMEs, knowledge and knowledge management (KM) have become a primary source to support firms' innovation and sustain economic survival [18]. The question of knowledge is particularly relevant for SMEs, since they have to often rely on employees' knowledge and skill in order to build their competitive advantages instead of relying on physical and financial assets, as compared to larger firms [19,20].…”

Knowledge Management and Performance Measurement Systems for SMEs’ Economic Sustainability

et al. 2020

This paper aims to explore the relationships between knowledge management (KM), performance measurement systems (PMSs), and small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) economic sustainability in knowledge-intensive sectors. The literature demonstrates that SMEs are often characterized by unstructured KM approaches and limited PMS implementation, being at the same time affected by scarce profitability and financial issues. Adopting the knowledge-based view of the firm and the contingency theory of PMSs, we tested the impact of two alternative KM approaches (exploitation and exploration) on SMEs’ economic sustainability, measuring the moderating effect of PMS use (diagnostic and interactive). Through an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression of data collected for 219 Italian medium firms operating in knowledge-intensive sectors, this study provides evidence on how a specific KM approach supports the SME economic sustainability and how a consistent implementation and use of PMS amplify the relationship between KM and economic sustainability. Data analysis confirms the relevance of some key concepts of the knowledge-based view of the firm, especially the positive impact of the KM exploration approach on economic sustainability. Additionally, the paper extends empirical evidence for the PMS moderating effect on the KM–performance relationship. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a study provides evidence for the relationships among KM, PMSs, and economic sustainability in the SME setting. Moreover, our findings lead to some managerial implications, especially they encourage SME entrepreneurs and managers to design a coherent KM approach and to implement an adequate PMS in order to support economic sustainability.

“…The papers in this category seem to use research designs that take advantage of the large data necessary for country-level analysis. For example, Jin (2019) (Castellani and Fassio, 2019) demonstrates the continued importance of exports in this body of literature. Castellani and Fassio (2019) use a sample of over 14 000 Swedish manufacturing firms, comprising the years 2001-2012.…”

Theory and evidence suggests that returns to research and research and development are currently declining. This paper seeks to identify patterns in the use of business research methodologies in certain of the latest articles published at the forefront of the field of business research innovation, from its leading journal. This literature is used to identify the current front line of business research methodologies at the forefront of the field. Propositions are derived from novel theory, and are critically juxtaposed against identified topics and methodologies in these articles. In so doing, the conceptual distance of the front line of empirical research in the field from the radical front line of theory in the broader field is quantified. Methodological implications are discussed and recommendations are made for the development of a future research agenda.
