This study investigates the impact of green innovation strategy on project management performance in the food sector of Saudi Arabia, examining the mediating roles of strategic quality planning and strategic leadership. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach, data were collected in January 2025 from 341 employees through a convenience sampling technique. Structural equation modeling via SmartPLS was employed to analyze the data. Results indicate that green innovation strategy positively influences strategic quality planning (β = 0.655) and strategic leadership (β = 0.541), which in turn significantly enhance project management performance (β = 0.566 and β = 0.657, respectively). Additionally, strategic quality planning (β = 0.456) and strategic leadership (β = 0.505) partially mediate the relationship between green innovation strategy and project management performance. These findings highlight the critical role of green innovation and strategic management practices in improving project outcomes within Saudi Arabia’s food industry.

Most small and medium scale enterprises in Ghana neglect very critical performance indicators in their bossiness. As a result most SMEs do not survive till their fifth anniversary. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between prevention focus, promotion focus, resilience, and SME performance in Ghana. Furthermore, we investigated the moderation effect of entrepreneurial learning and Entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and SME performance in Ghana. Our results show that both promotion- and prevention-focused increase entrepreneurial resilience and SME performance significantly. This is an indication that there is a strong positive correlation between entrepreneurial resilience and success in both the individual and firm levels. This inference can therefore assist policy makers, politicians and various industry players in designing training programs on how to improve the resilience of SME owners in Ghana. Statistically our analysis shows that prevention focus (PreV) has a positive effect on entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) (β = 0.250; p<0.001), and promotion focus (PreM) has a positive effect on entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) (β = 0.268; p<0.001). Additionally, entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) has a positive effect on innovative performance (IP) (β = 0.547; p<0.001). Furthermore, the mediation results has shown that entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) mediates the relationship between prevention focus (PreV) and innovative performance (IP) (β = 0.136; p<0.001); as well as that of promotion focus (PreM) and firm performance (IP) (β = 0.146; p<0.001). Finally, the results with regards to moderation effects has shown that entrepreneurial orientation (EntO) partially moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) and innovative performance (IP) (β = 0.109; p<0.05), however, the result established that entrepreneurial learning (EntL) does not moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) and firm performance (IP) (β = -0.031; p<0.05). Using the Resource Based View theory, we concluded that, SME’s needs to adopted prevention (vigilant/avoidant strategies) by minimizing losses, and taking calculated risks with motivation from mentors to avoid loss as this would achieve resilience as well as promotion of strategies (eager/approach strategies) to achieve gains for their SMEs during economic disruption and economic downturn such as COVID-19. We concluded that SME’s could also achieve resilience when managers or owners of SMEs inspire the employees to work harder, and think outside the box to identify latent ideas and opportunities within their SME business environment.

There were still contradictory results from earlier research on the relationship between organizational innovation, performance, and management control systems (MCS). In order to account for these contradictory results, future studies ought to concentrate on the empirical analysis of Simon's MCS theory. The purpose of the study was to assess the mediation and moderation model in relation to performance, innovation, and MCS. The study intends to broaden the scope by employing a more thorough definition and measurement of research variables. Because the Partial Least Square (PLS) can concurrently assess the existence of a dual dependency relationship of a latent variable, the study used PLS to test the hypothesis. The mediated hypothesis which holds that MCS indirectly affects performance through innovation seems to be supported by these data. All things considered, this study contributes to the understanding of the ambiguous and contradictory conclusions of earlier studies that examined the connection between MCS, innovation, and performance.

The MEWMA chart is one of the traditional multivariate charts which are widely employed in inspecting the quality of manufacturing and services. This chart is created through monitoring the small shifts of mean vectors of variable quality characteristics. Often in practice, the measurement of a quality characteristic produces uncertain, incomplete values, so that ambiguous numbers are obtained. In this condition, a neutrosophic-based control chart can overcome the problem resulting from the ambiguous data. The paper’s objective is to construct a new multivariate monitoring scheme based on a neutrosophic chart, namely the neutrosophic Multivariate EWMA (NMEWMA). Furthermore, the performance of the new multivariate monitoring scheme is evaluated in detecting process shifts employing the Average Run Length (ARL) and Standard Deviation Run Length (SDRL). This control chart is an innovation in the quality monitoring of uncertain data. The research result obtained indicates that the NMEWMA chart performs better than the MEWMA in finding the small mean shifts as well as in the real case application.

Technology is becoming a trend, so this research examines technology information as a driver of productivity for small or medium industries (SMEs). This research examines the impact of innovation on the performance of small and medium enterprises, the impact of information technology on industrial performance, and the role of information technology as a mediator of innovation on company performance. Data was collected through an online survey. The total population is 346, so that many questionnaires were distributed to MSMEs using path analysis and Smart PLS as processing tools. The findings are that innovation has an influence on increasing the productivity of small businesses, innovation has a positive role on information systems, remains insignificant on the performance of industrial Performance, and information technology does not mediate the relationship between innovation and performance. So it can be said that innovation plays an important role in improving company performance.

The study focuses on the intricate nature of emotional intelligence (EMI), Fostering creativity (FC), intrinsic motivation (IM), innovation (IN) and entrepreneurship (E) under the context of corporate management in a country. Based on a sample of 359 actively engaged respondents and using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, the study reveals significant positive associations: emotional intelligence includes entrepreneurship, Fostering creativity contains entrepreneurship, innovation, emotional intelligence appears intrinsic motivation, in Fostering creativity appear intrinsic motivation, emotional intelligence includes innovation, in Fostering creativity is innovation, intrinsic motivation includes entrepreneurship, in innovation is entrepreneurship. The results demonstrate a chain mediation: emotional intelligence influences entrepreneurship, intrinsic motivation is involved, and innovation serves as the intermediary. In the same way, it is fertile in creativity to begin entrepreneurship, whereas intrinsic motivation and innovation are mediating factors considering this fact. Accordingly, these findings have a huge impact on the development of effective public health policies and the nature of ecosystems research in future. For organizations in Jordan, a result based on these results will help in the development of a constructive atmosphere which will be inclined towards entrepreneurs by working on emotional intelligence, creativity, intrinsic motivation and innovation. The research puts in place a theoretical framework which is complemented by the granular perspective of these psychological and entrepreneurial factors.

Open innovation has been identified as two dimensions, the flow of knowledge obtained from outside and processed within the organization and has a role as a key business responsiveness to prevent any risks that will be faced. From this knowledge flow is a successful approach to new product development featuring outbound and inbound knowledge that is managed with the aim of getting out of the bounds of risk. Therefore, this study investigates and explains the clausal relationship between the variables used, such as inbound and outbound open innovation, product innovation, marketing innovation, firm performance, and environmental turbulence as moderating variables. This study uses a quantitative approach and designs a questionnaire that has been distributed to 115 SMEs owner / managers as a sample. In the process of formal data collection, a random sample was used in this study which was distributed to the owner / manager of SMEs. While the processing, analysis, and hypothesis testing process of this study uses PLS-SEM which is a statistical tool for applying all data scales, does not require many assumptions, and confirms relationships. The findings in this study indicate that what has a positive and significant effect is the relationship of inbound open innovation to product innovation, product innovation to marketing innovation, marketing innovation to firm performance. In addition, the moderating effect of environmental turbulence in a positive way is only product innovation on firm performance. Further explanation of the implications of the findings has been discussed and confirmed.
