In 4 years of observations of ISMEA (Indonesia Small Medium Enterprises Association), the research taken shows many SMEs neglect the effort to build a brand or branding then more focused on sales strategies to drive revenue instead. This condition will have an impact on the sustainability of the SMEs themselves.

As the Interest and Inflation rate are high, this research has been taken to find the relation between the changes in inflation and interest and how they impact the performance of SMEs. Although there are several studies associated with the DV (Small & Medium enterprises) but the paper is unique as it is (based upon data from Secondary sources of Pakistan where there is a severe lacking of such studies. Data has been collected through the Mono method to indicate the effect of GDP on the performance of SMEs).

The present investigation aims to assist and enrich the scientific argument regarding the phenomenon nominated cloud computing from a managerial perspective. A quantitative study design was utilized to gather and analyze the data. In total, 345 employees from different medium enterprises reported their perspectives via an online survey. Partial least squares was used to evaluate the model of the study. The investigation was performed from April 2020 to November 2020.FindingsAs expected, the empirical analysis results revealed that cloud computing adaption drivers positively and significantly associated with talent management.

Initially, the authors gathered a country's data. Second, by considering multiple significant structures from four aspects, they established the study model. Third, utilizing one-time cross-sectional data, the suggested model was evaluated. As a proposal, future researchers could investigate cloud computing adoption drivers' outcomes within other organizations.Originality/valueThis research presents a straightforward and easy model for understanding the cloud's effect on employee talent management. By systematizing the unrelated studies on the subject and organizing those contributions into strong managerial literature paradigms, such an aim has been accomplished.

Based on the description above, basically, the community service program through service activities is divided into three activities, namely by using the lecture, tutorial, and discussion method and followed by the Delima District Business Group of 10 people.

Although commercial banks’ engagement to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is showing improvement, banks are still blamed for discriminating enterprises due to their size. The soundness of this blame should be investigated, and we have collected data from 411 owner-managers in Ethiopia and analyze it through a multi-group effect analysis of Structural Equation Modeling. The result revealed that size does not moderate the relationship between commercial bank financing and the performance of MSMEs. Commercial bank financial services have a significant effect on the performance of MSMEs that the provision of financial service should be invigorated. Moreover, the effect of bank finance on the performance of MSMEs does not vary on the basis of the size that owners should not desist requesting the service. Since MSMEs size does not play a moderating role, policymakers, commercial banks, and owner-managers should not formulate a size-specific policy and strategy as long as enterprises fall under the MSME category.
