The study aims to investigate the direct effects of business management practices in terms of financial, marketing, human resources, and logistics operations practices on sales revenue and profitability growth of freight forwarding businesses. A quantitative research design and partial least square-structural equation modeling were used to examine the direct effects of the exogenous and endogenous variables. The study reveals that financial, marketing, and human resources practices have a positive and significant effect on sales revenue growth. Furthermore, marketing and logistics operations have a positive and significant effect on profitability growth in the context of freight forwarding in the Philippines, particularly in its country's capital. As the current study only examines the direct effects of business management practices, other researchers may also want to consider identifying other variables as mediation and moderation to test other indirect effects on the financial performance of the business. The findings of the study can significantly benefit the freight industry to consider addressing other challenges or make use of the paper to further develop their strategies and practices to improve their financial performance.

Understanding characteristics of Internet businesses from cross-cultural perspective could offer valuable insights on developing business strategy and policy. This work is concerned with revealing divergence and convergence of Internet business models in their financial performance, given organizational conditions and cultural context. For this, we studied the association between organizational attributes (core activity, origination, firm age, and industry) and their effects on a firm's financial performance (gross revenue and net income). Relevant data was gathered from representative Internet firms in Korea and U.S. Data analysis indicated that there exist both similarities and differences between Korea and U.S and year 2003 and 2006. While core activities and industry types of U.S. firms has not been changed much between the periods, Korean firms show much difference. In addition, while core activities and industry type were found to have strong relationship with financial performance, age and origination of a firm weak connections with financial performance.

Understanding characteristics of Internet businesses from a cross-cultural perspective could offer valuable insights on developing business strategies and policies. This work is concerned with revealing divergence and convergence of Internet businesses in their financial performance, given organizational conditions and cultural context. For this, we studied the association between static organizational attributes (core activity, origination, firm age, and industry type) and a firms financial performance (gross revenue and net income). Relevant data was gathered from representative Internet firms in Korea and U.S. Data analysis indicated that, besides industry type, overall connection between selected organizational variables and financial performance was weak. Cross-national comparison showed that Korean firms financial performance was comparable to U.S firms during the period of economic turbulence. A noticeable difference was that Korean Internet firms and their business models were more service-oriented than U.S. counterparts.

This study examines the impact of mergers on the financial performance of the Jordanian public shareholding companies. The study employs data collected for a sample of 10 Jordanian non-financial public firms that were engaged in legal horizontal merger deals between 2000 and 2013. The data was collected from the published annual financial reports of the merging companies and comparative companies for three years before the merger and three years after the merger. Event study methodology was applied to examine the data. Four measures of financial performance (FP) were used, which are return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), earnings per share (EPS), and net profit margin (NPM). Two methods were used in the analysis - the change model and the intercept model using financial performance raw data and industry-adjusted data. The findings in general showed no significant impact of mergers on the financial performance of merging firms using the change model. However, by using the intercept model, significant impact of mergers on the financial performance was found on the sample of the study. The significant impact was found for mergers on the raw ROE of the merging firms, and on the ROA and NPM of the industry-adjusted firms.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of business scope and technological capability on firm performance in SMEs. Existing studies on business scopes and technological capabilities have focused on the unilateral relationships with financial performances. This study examines the independent and interaction effects of business scopes and technological capabilities on financial performances of SMEs in capital industries. Based on 228 firm-level data, technological capabilities have positively significant impacts on performance. Business scope measured by product variety and number of buyers have been significantly positive relationships to financial performances. Also SMEs with technological capabilities can moderate the effects of business scope on their performances. However, the results show different relationships depending on measurements on business scope, technological capabilities and performance. The results provide interesting findings on strategic behaviors of SMEs when they pursue growth strategy through expanding business scopes and building technological capabilities.

The aim of the present study is to analyze the financial performance of converted commercial bank from non-banking financial institution through a case study of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited as sample organization. It is observed that the bank is able to achieve a stable growth rate in total deposits, total loans and advances, and net income after tax during the period of 2015-2019. Researchers also calculated some ratio analysis and noticed that the financial position of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited was not so strong because bank's ROA, ROE, NIM and other ratios were below standard. Researchers used secondary data that were examined by using descriptive statistical tools and panel data regression model. Result shows that Bangladesh Commerce Bank has satisfactory operating efficiency, assets management efficiency, and gives loans to customers. In addition, the present study has tested some hypotheses regarding net income after tax, ROA and ROE with total assets, total loans, total deposits and interest income. These hypotheses have been accepted, which means there is no significant influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. The study suggests that Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited had the opportunities to make their financial position stronger by utilizing their good financial position and management efficiencies.

본 연구는 국내 소상공인의 사업성과에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 개인 요인인 창업가 특성과 환경요인인 시장특성이 사업성과에 미치는 영향과 디지털 리터러시의 매개효과를 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 현재 소상공인은 디지털 기술의 확산과 코로나 19의 장기화로 인해 기존의 방식으로 사업을 영위해 나가기 어려운 상황에 직면해 있다. 이들에게 필요한 역량의 하나로 본 연구에서는 디지털 리터러시에 주목하였으며, 디지털 리터러시가 소상공인 개인·시장의 특성, 사업성과와 어떠한 관계에 있는지 살펴보았다. 선행연구에서 소상공인의 사업성과를 설명하는 다양한 요인을 검토하였으며 소상공인의 창업가특성인 혁신성과 자기결정성, 시장특성인 시장의 경쟁정도와 성장성을 독립변수로 도출하고 재무적 성과와 비재무적 성과를 종속변수로 설정하였다. 디지털 리터러시는 독립변수와 종속변수 간의 관계를 매개하는 역할을 할 것으로 보고 가설을 설정하였다. 실증연구를 위해 전국의 소상공인을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 분석결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 소상공인의 혁신성과 자기결정성은 재무적 성과와 비재무적 성과에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시장의 경쟁정도는 재무적·비재무적 성과에 유의한 영향이 없으며 시장의 성장성은 재무적 성과와 비재무적 성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 디지털 리터러시의 매개효과의 경우, 혁신성이 비재무적 성과에 미치는 영향에 대해 부분매개효과가 있으며 시장의 경쟁정도가 재무적 성과와 비재무적 성과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 디지털 리터러시는 완전매개효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 성장성이 비재무적 성과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 디지털 리터러시는 부분매개효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 결과를 살펴보면, 혁신성과 자기결정성에 해당하는 소상공인의 창업가 특성은 직접적으로 사업성과를 높이는 요인으로 작용하며, 시장특성은 간접적으로 디지털 리터러시를 높여서 성과를 올리는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있다. 이상의 연구결과를 토대로 연구의 시사점과 한계점, 그리고 향후 연구방향을 함께 제시하였다.
