The implementation of physical or social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic has an implication on the shifting of conventional to online business activities. This study aims to explore how financial support, perceived benefits, external pressure determine social media marketing as well as understanding the role of internet and e-business technology (IEBT) that occurs in this relationship. This study adopted a quantitative study with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-based variance Partial Least Square (PLS), which aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between variables. The surveyed population of this study came from 123 small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in East Java of Indonesia, using an online survey and selected with the convenience random sampling method. The findings of this study indicated that the perceived benefits and external pressure have a positive effect on the adoption of IEBT. However, financial support failed in explaining SMEs' adoption of IEBT. This study confirmed that the adoption of IEBT has successfully mediated the influence of financial support, perceived benefits, and external pressure on social media marketing. Despite the samples solely collected from East Java, this study is the first step in research related to the social media marketing in SMEs in Indonesia.

A lot of companies experience failure in innovating their management practices even though they adopt various innovation techniques that seem to be valid and competitive. The primary reason for this failure can be found from the fact that the company failed to conduct innovation techniques in harmony with their business strategies. In this context, we focus on developing a unified framework that innovates the management practices in accordance with the business strategies of the company. For this purpose, we first analyse numerous innovation techniques and business strategies, and then classify them into several clusters in terms of 'innovation technique-strategy" match. Therefore, the result of this work can be used as a guide to derive competitive innovation techniques that are compatible with the underlying business strategies.

Purpose - Compared with the past when customers regarded a price factor as one of the most important criteria when choosing a retailer as a shopping destination, they seem to show different attitudes toward retailers in recent. This research, therefore, aims to explore how Korean customers respond to the CSR business activities provided by retailers. Research design, data, and methodology - The authors have developed the 6 hypotheses based on the literature review and adopted the 4 hypotheses after removing the 2 hypotheses through discriminant validity analysis. Results - Amongst the 4 hypotheses selected, H1 (community support), H3 (environment protection) and H6 (trading with unethical suppliers) related to a retailer's CSR business practices are accepted, whilst H4 (product issues) is rejected. Surprisingly, Korean customers are not interested in a product safety issue, when deciding a shopping store. Conclusions - Rather than emphasizing cheaper prices to attract new customers or maintain existing ones, it is demonstrated through the research that retailers have to pay their attention to their CSR activities. For a retailer's CSR practices, the retailer's social role has become more important than ever before, from a customer's point of view.

In this paper, a model to evaluate the sustainability management for small and middle enterprises was suggested. Also, the if-then rules and its decision tree for pattern analysis which is obtained by fuzzy ID3 from the data of sustainability management were shown. The suggested model can be used for the evaluation tool of competition increasement of enterprises. If the enterprise can recognize that the evaluation rule can be taken advantage of the sustainability management pattern analysis using fuzzy ID3, it is expected that they can use the rule effectively for self evaluation.

This paper was concerned about design and implementation of supply chain management for auto-part company by adopting a UML(Unified Modeling Language). The part of SCM and e-business have interested by larger company, researcher and academic professor. There has been known about a little implementing SCM and it's initiatives for SME(small-medium sized enterprise). We, in this paper, dealt with design and implementing the SCM on supply chain auto part SMEs. The UML is a standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software systems. It simplifies the complex process of software design, making a blueprint for the SCM implementation. In this paper, we also adopt some methods for the systematic system analysis, design, and implementation by applying UML to a SCM system.

Recently, the trend in the printing industry includes shorter run lengths and with fast turnaround times. As new markets have made it possible to produce small quantities of high-quality color products at affordable price, the general commercial printing meets the customer's diverse demand by using spot color besides process four colors. Especially, by using spot color for printing the enterprise's logo or specific color, we can see the effect of printing is getting better. With the combination of the right software, ink, media, and device can be treated as a digital proofer for spot color printing, providing significant time and cost savings compared to conventional procedures. The objective of this study is to investigate the quality of spot color proofs printed by ink-jet and dye sublimation proofer using ICC-based color management system. An Epson Stylus Color 3000 ink-jet proofer combined with Best Color Proof XXL RIP was tested for glossy and matte paper. 3M Rainbow dye sublimation proofer was examined using 3M Rainbow controller ver. 4.1 RIP on the manufacturer recommended proofing paper. ICC profiles were generated for each device using ECI 2002 visual target and evaluated for the accuracy of process 4 color reproduction. The test charts consisting of Pantone color 1140 was selected to test the quality of spot color reproduction.

The transformation of the Italian retailing has permitted, in the last ten years, a quick modification of the strategic groups' weight at a distributive level. Such change regards the redesign of the competitive assets that sees as protagonist both the main foreign big multiple chains and the Italian retailing, characterized by small dependent enterprises. The analysis is focused on the solutions that independent retailers are adopting in order to strengthen their competitive ability in relation to the aforementioned prospective entrance of foreign distributors in the domestic market. In particular, the most commonly adopted strategic alternative are analysed, in an attempt to characterize the development models that can emerge. The paper presents a case of possible successful solution adopted by some independent retailers for a competitiveness recovery without sacrificing the enterprise's property and autonomy.
