Role of management practices and their effects on firm performance: Emerging market context

Abstract

Unconventional factors are usually ignored in their influence on the firm's performance. The study develops a fundamental model to evaluate the role of management on firm's performance by assessing strategic flexibility, knowledge management, corporate governance, firm's resilience, and adoption of information, communication, and technology on firm's performance. The results suggest that the adoption of information, communication, and technology followed by corporate governance significantly influences a firm's performance. It also indicates that the quality of products and workplace training significantly enhance the firm's performance. This study suggests that academicians should look beyond the usual factors that influence firm performance in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.

The role of mobile money adoption in moderating the influence of access to finance in firm performance

“…Technology adoption is an important resource due to the variety of impacts it has on firm operations and its influence on firm performance (Eiriz et al 2018;Islam et al 2018;Mohsen et al 2019;Koellinger 2008;Parameswar et al, 2021). However, empirical studies suggest contradictory evidence on how technology usage affects firm performance.…”

“…This is because financial transactions that could have required physical travel are being done electronically which saves time and cost (Koellinger 2008). Such time saving and cost, free up financial resources that are then allocated to productive activities and therefore help improve performance via improving efficiency (Parameswar et al, 2021). Moreover, mobile money usage is a valuable resource that firms may use for different purposes to gain a competitive advantage.…”

“…Based on the RBV, the research provides a possible explanation of what could be done for the configuration of mobile money and access to finance to have a more desirable effect on firm performance. Second, technology is rapidly evolving (Kyobe 2004) and while its effect is well established in Western economies, there is a need to explore its impact in another context (Fuller-Love 2000) and most especially on how its usage affects firms in the private sector (Islam et al 2018;Eiriz et al 2018;Parameswar et al, 2021). The examination of the direct and moderation effect of mobile money usage on firms from three African countries demonstrates an understanding of how technology usage may affect firms in the private sector and therefore provide both policy and managerial implications.…”
