This study aims to investigate the mechanism for the combined influence of brand, quality, and corporate social responsibility management strategy on financial performance.

The findings suggest that integrating brand, quality, and corporate social responsibility management, or combining brand and quality management are effective options for achieving high financial performance in agricultural small-medium enterprises. These results have significant implications for managers seeking to improve their firm’s financial performance by optimizing their management strategies. JEL Classification: M14, M31, Q13

Direct and configurational paths of open innovation and organisational agility to business model innovation in SMEs

ABSTRACTDiscussions on opportunities and enablers have remained lacking despite the continued growth of business model innovation (BMI) research. In order to investigate the formation mechanism of BMI in small-medium enterprises (SMEs), we proposed an integrated model, which included factors derived from organisational internal resources and capabilities via the resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capabilities view (DCV). Structural equation model (SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) were utilised to test the survey data collected from 245 SMEs in China. SEM results support the hypotheses, except that on the impact of outbound open innovation on market capitalising agility and on BMI. The fsQCA analysis revealed that four configurations of open innovations and organisational agilities can sufficiently explain high levels of BMI, and two configurations of these factors lead to low BMI. The theoretical and practical implications of such findings were also provided.
