This article discusses the concept of resilient leadership among leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. The study highlights the importance of leadership effectiveness in maintaining employee morale and adapting to volatile economic and social conditions. A model of resilient leadership is proposed, consisting of six dimensions. The research emphasizes the novelty of this leadership model in the Malaysian context and suggests its potential application in entrepreneurial development in Malaysia and neighboring countries with similar cultures. The article explores the concept of resilient leadership within SMEs in Malaysia, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to identify the factors that contribute to the development of resilient leadership and proposes a new model specific to Malaysia. The findings highlight the importance of a growth mindset, strategic vision, and adherence to high standards of integrity and corporate governance in fostering resilient leadership. This article discusses the importance of resilient leadership in the face of challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Three case studies of Malaysian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are presented to illustrate different aspects of resilient leadership. The article proposes a model of resilient leadership that includes elements such as adaptability, emotional intelligence, vision, spiritual intelligence, a growth mindset, and an internal organizational ecosystem. The study suggests that developing resilient leadership can enhance entrepreneurial development and economic progression in Malaysia. Further research is needed to validate and refine the proposed model. [Extracted from the article]

This article examines the relationship between transformational leadership (TFL), organizational learning (OL), and employee creativity (EC) in Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study finds that TFL positively affects EC and OL, with individual motivation playing a significant role. OL acts as a partial mediator between TFL and EC. The research provides valuable insights for SMEs in Vietnam and contributes to the existing literature on organizational learning. However, the study is limited to SMEs in Vietnam and does not address cultural issues specific to Vietnamese SMEs. Future studies should consider cultural variables and use a mixed-methods approach to further explore the topic. [Extracted from the article]

The primary purpose of this paper is to present an actual case of a Peruvian SME which applied IFRS accounting standards – specifically, IAS 41 for consumable biological assets – to reflect its financial situation more accurately as an alternative to legal and tax regulations applying historical cost, which Peruvian SMEs more commonly use for the preparation of financial statements. Primary data were gathered through interviews and observation at the SME studied. This forestry-industry SME in question tried unsuccessfully to get financing from banks, even presenting complementary information regarding the calculation of biological asset values according to IAS 41. Failing this, it turned to seeking funding from private long-term investors, eventually succeeding in obtaining long-term financing from a new strategic investor. The significance of this paper is that it presents evidence of the advantages for companies (specifically agriculture-related companies) that comply with IFRS in a country where historical cost-based tax rules are traditionally applied for accounting purposes. Other SMEs can similarly improve the likelihood of obtaining new capital from potential investors by complementing the information provided in financial statements with detailed data regarding fair value calculation of biological assets.

The present study aims to examine the dimensions of corporate sustainability as resources that support green organizational cultural development. A positivist paradigm methodology, explanatory and correlational in scope, is applied by using a survey as the primary information collection tool along with a questionnaire with a Likert scale. The sample (n = 34) is composed by hotel sector managerial staff of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Barranquilla (Colombia). The results show the insertion of a group of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions on environmental management that give origin to the criterion of green organizational culture. It is concluded that corporate sustainability is one of the most important elements for the evolution of enterprises towards adaptation to current dynamics of sustainable development.

The objective of this research is to determine the main existing gaps before implementing agile methodologies in IT-SMEs (Information Technology - Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) with traditional methodology for project management. To this effect, a qualitative approach to the opinions of three managers, two project engineers, and six programmer analysts of a company is proposed, which is based on semi-structured interviews, considering a convenience sample, in order to understand the existing difficulties in the company under study, contrasting this reality through surveys aimed at 29 IT professionals from other organizations. The results of the analysis reveal that the main gaps for the implementation of agile methodologies in SMEs are organizational culture at odds with agility, lack of commitment from management, and resistance to change. It is concluded that the proposal turns out to be effective for understanding the main gaps to be solved before starting the implementation of an agile methodology in an IT-SME, thus allowing the organization to be aligned with agility.

Business process management and maturity models are receiving special academic interest as a key tool for evaluating, recognizing where and how to move forward, improving resource use, and achieving distinctive capabilities. In the actual complex and dynamic environment, SMEs can resort to raising the maturity of their process management systems as a means to support their business development and confront context instability with internal strengthening. The business process maturity model proposed by Fisher provides a balance between a simple representation and a sufficient degree of detail for use in SME. This research uses this model to obtain a diagnosis in three case studies and confirm the hypotheses raised where it is stated that organizations certified under ISO 9001:2015 obtain higher levels of maturity in their process management system. A statistical test of comparison of means found significant differences between companies, confirming the hypothesis. It is concluded that the success factors of process management established and the use of business process maturity models integrated into management systems under quality standards are useful.

Purpose of the research: This research aims to empirically examine the relationship between entrepreneurs' personality traits and cloud computing adoption among Malay-owned SMEs in Malaysia. The research was done under theoretical framework that was developed based on the previous literature. Methodology: This study adopts non-probability sampling which is convenient sampling for data collection. Data collection was done in all major towns in West Malaysia. Hypotheses related to personality factors (determination, opportunity, independent, innovativeness, locus of control, creativity, risk taking ability and achievement) and cloud computing adoption among Malay entrepreneurial society were tested by using multiple regression analysis on survey data from a sample of 383 entrepreneurs from major towns in Malaysia. Major conclusion: The result of this study indicates that cloud computing adoption depend on the entrepreneur's trait. This study confirms that personality traits have significant influence on cloud computing adoption. Research limitation: Like other empirical studies, this study is not without its limitations. The sample size itself is small. The study can be strengthened by increasing the sample size and including participants in other geographical areas. Originality and value: The findings of this paper serve as a reminder for the Malay-owned SMEs that they have to consider cloud computing for their business operation, particularly for managing and maintaining all their virtual resources at their own end.
