“…For the banking industry, ICTs had a positive impact on banking profitability and stability improvement, attributed to the intensive adoption of both IT and financial technologies (Del Gaudio et al, 2020 ). In their study on logistics firms, Lei et al ( 2021 ) provided empirical evidence for the positive impact of different ICTs such as enterprise systems (ES) and Internet of Things (IoT) use on service diversification.…”

Although reducing poverty has become an important issue for rural development in China, few studies have analyzed the role of mobile Internet use in multidimensional poverty. To fill this gap, this study investigated the impact of mobile Internet use on multidimensional poverty, using data collected from a household survey in rural China. Because households generally decide whether to use mobile Internet by themselves, an endogenous switching regression model was employed to control for potential selection bias. In total, 9.63% of the households were identified as multidimensionally poor and the adjusted multidimensional poverty incidence was 5.47%. The results also showed that mobile Internet use has a significant negative impact on multidimensional poverty. Further, we provide evidence of heterogeneity in the effect of mobile Internet use across regions. These findings highlight the importance of mobile Internet use in multidimensional poverty reduction strategies for rural households.

“…TD has its disadvantages as well. These are largely related to the need for complex coordination of resources across multiple technologies (Lei et al ., 2021). The more coordination is required, the costlier the firm's R&D becomes and the larger the share of organizational resources that is spent on coordination, not on production of new knowledge.…”

PurposeTo investigate the relationship between technological diversification and firm performance as a function of varying levels of technological coupling and internal technological change.Design/methodology/approachA longitudinal study of US-based bio-pharmaceutical companies.FindingsTechnological diversification improves invention performance. However, high levels of technological coupling reduce this effect.Practical implicationsFirms with highly diversified technological portfolios should strive to keep their technologies at low levels of technological coupling.Originality/valueThis is the first study to show that technological coupling reduces the positive effect of technological diversification on firms' invention performance.

“…In many cases, the Internet is the environment for maintaining business contacts. It is easy to observe on the basis of the strengthening position of internet transactions, which is widely described in the newest world literature (Ahmad et al, 2020;Kock et al, 2020;Lei et al, 2021;Peltier et al, 2020).…”

Information management and information flow is an important element in the strategy of developing and running a company. The need to supervise information makes it necessary to implement numerous innovations that improve the method of information management correlated with the proper reception, selection and analysis - in both external and internal information flow. This paper presents the results of research that allowed for the assessment of barriers that arise during the implementation of innovative solutions in small and medium-sized enterprises (service MSEs). On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the mental barrier is not always crucial from the point of view of modern technologies implementation. And the determination to implement information management innovations may be forced by the necessity of the document exchange acceleration. The success of innovative solutions e.g. in the financial services industry (in SMEs) is closely related to the technological capabilities of the enterprise - the technological barrier is crucial in this type of enterprises. Especially, taking into account the assumption that employees are highly motivated to implement new products.
