“…In practical terms, a company can simultaneously integrate its development with a large number of different enterprises that have their own specifics and may be outside the field of its functioning. This expands the framework of the study and requires multi-replication (Kijkasiwat et al 2021). However, this research assumes that integration with such entities is not crucial, since it does not belong to the main form of its activity but represents only an auxiliary function (Tojeiro-Rivero and Moreno 2019).…”

The development of an enterprise under current conditions requires an integrated approach and an appropriate financing system. The purpose of this study is to justify the replication model of financing the integrated enterprise development. The research methodology suggests that each enterprise has its own development “genome”, which makes it possible to apply the replication of its directions based on a justified financing system of such an integration. The proposed replication model is augmented by regression analysis, which made it possible to carry out scenario forecasting of alternative options for the company’s development. The conduction of the study is based on 16 textile enterprises. The formed map of the integrated enterprise development enabled the determination of their points to replicate resources in four directions (environmental and economic, innovative, informational, and organizational). The interaction of companies on the basis of strengths diffusion (exchange of potential) with the application of financial netting is considered an alternative to replication. The research proved that an alternative option can solely be recommended for developed companies and requires the identification and minimization of risks. The strong link between the level of integrated and overall development of companies was acknowledged. Asymmetry of business development in the context of a replication model of its integration enables the achievement of high results while minimizing financial resources. Enterprises implementing the replication model of integration considerably improve their prospects and increase overall development performance. The application of the replication model of financing integration under the crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic fosters efficient use of financial resources and the overall enterprise development.

“…This helps to strengthen the firms' commitment to the foreign market and mitigates against the uncertainties and risks associated with the international market, thereby increasing international operations (Morais and Franco, 2018). Thus, alliance relationships assist by reducing risk in operations, especially the risk and uncertainty associated with international business and hence strengthening the firms' degree of internationalisation (Igwe and Kanyembo, 2019;Kijkasiwat et al, 2021). Paul (2020) also argued that a strong alliance helped facilitate success in firms' performance, notably in advancing their international operations.…”

The study presented in the article examined the mediating role played by internationalisation in both government financial support–export strategic performance and government non-financial support– export strategic performance relationships. The moderating role of a strategic alliance in the relationships between government financial support and degree of internationalisation, and between government nonfinancial support and degree of internationalisation, was also considered. The study entailed a cross-sectional survey and included 301 indigenous export firms in Ghana. The reliability and validity of the data was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, with structural equation modelling as the primary means of analysis, run using Amos (v.23). It was concluded that both government financial support and non-financial support had a direct positive influence on export strategic performance. These relationships were partially mediated by the degree of internationalisation. Strategic alliance positively moderated the relationships between government financial support and degree of internationalisation, and also between government non-financial support and degree of internationalisation.

“…These studies have focused on topics such as the locations of cities and towns [29,30], spatial structures and scale [31,32], key sectors and industrial clusters [33][34][35][36], and ecological performance and sustainable development [37][38][39][40]. Research methods have entailed a combination of econometric models, spatial models, and semi-structured interviews [41][42][43][44]. In China, studies to assess urban performances have mostly focused on the entire country [45], economic zones [46,47], provinces [48,49], urban agglomerations [50,51], and other spatial levels.…”

Research on the development performance of small towns is critical for promoting their revitalization, advancing urbanization, and high-quality development and transformation for realizing urban–rural integration. We used the DPSIR-DEA model to study the spatiotemporal evolution process and characteristics of the development performance of 14 small towns within the administrative division of Jiangyin city from 2001 to 2019. We subsequently applied a geographical detector model to analyze the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of the factors influencing the development performance of small towns. The results showed that 2012 was a turning point in the overall development performance index of small towns in Jiangyin, revealing initially decreasing and then increasing trends. The development performance index values of different types of small towns evidenced three trends: a steady increase, a continuous decrease, and an initial decrease followed by an increase. During 2001–2019, the development performance of Jiangyin’s small towns reflected a spatial evolution pattern of complete dispersion à small agglomeration à large agglomeration. An optimal spatial pattern comprised an increase in the number of towns demonstrating a high development performance and a decrease in the number of towns with a low development performance. GDP per capita, industrial investments, and construction land density were key influencing factors of development performance, which was mainly driven by economic and social factors, with ecological factors having a relatively weak influence.
