Although the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic has achieved a critical victory in China since 2020, it has undeniably brought a huge impact on the economy. Especially for the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located at the end of the industrial chain, whose comprehensive strength is weak, they are generally facing severe survival challenges. Under the complex and severe situation, a financing bailout can not solve the fundamental problem, but it is an effective way to alleviate the urgent needs of the SMEs. This paper systematically reviews the impact of the pandemic on the SMEs’ financing, the limitations of the SMEs’ financing channels, the problems of the SMEs exposed by “financing difficulties” during the pandemic, and how to promote financing and help the SMEs strengthen and expand....
This study aids Saudi Arabian public organizations in identifying and solving problems with employee performance. The study’s findings are critical to the Saudi Arabian public administration, management and employees. The administration can use these findings to make decisions such as assigning work, promoting employees, transferring them, and laying them off. The success of various selection techniques, training programs, and compensation systems can also be assessed using performance data. Additionally, managers will assist their employees in becoming more productive by receiving better personal performance ratings. These help employees know where they stand, pave the road for a change, encourage self-improvement, and recognize their accomplishments for each employee. This study measures 3 C’s univariate behavioral approach variables such as corporate commitments, communication and collaboration. Random sampling method was adopted to collect the data from 1000 Saudi employees and overseas workers out of which only 82% were returned. Whereas out of 82% only 79.3% were deemed to be, appropriate for examination. Data were analyzed and examined using the latest version of SPSS 1.0.0.1406 by using a set of statistical methods including Coefficient Correlation, Regression, Cronbach’s alpha, means, standard deviation, multiple and simple linear regression. Furthermore, according to Frechette and Wertheim, “performance affects the very essence of the individual’s connection or ‘affective commitment’ with the organization, and therefore can play a central role in deciding the level whereby the individual’s short-and long-term needs are fulfilled through participation in the organization”. These research findings serve as a toll for improving job satisfaction among employees. The effectiveness of government employees directly influences the efficiency of the government section and, as a result, on the achievement of the country’s economic goals and the nation’s growth....
Using Chinese firm-level manufacturing production data during the period 1998-2007, we first estimate the firm-level distortion in intermediate input markets and then identify the effects of distortion on firm innovation. The results show that: 1) The distortion in the intermediate market significantly reduces the level of firm innovation, and these negative impacts are stronger in state-owned enterprises, industries with greater financing constraints, and firms in the western region. 2) The mechanism study shows that the distortion in intermediate goods market mainly affects firm innovation through three ways: increasing firm rent-seeking behavior, reducing capital intensity, and restricting the improvement of production efficiency....
The role of a monitoring solution in verifying and evaluating an e-business application is increasingly important in the context of the development of today's information society. Thus, the criteria chosen in the development of such an application must be relevant both to the e-business solution and to the context to which it belongs. To align to different valuable monitoring specifications, enhanced metrics must be composed, thus creating a synthetic view of what is critical to be underlined in the functionality of an informatic system. E-business platforms tend to be more complex each year and a visible challenge would be the creation of coherent and relevant metrics, through which malfunctions can be detected in the system and automated mechanisms can perform timely corrections. This paper proposes to describe models of creating and implementing such enhanced monitoring metrics and automated mechanisms....
The Bambi Effect is failing to provide any feedback, particularly negative feedback. Performance ratings are higher for employees who report receiving more frequent and more specific performance communication from their supervisors. Feedback, particularly negative feedback, is important as it can enable employees to correct their performance. Nevertheless, many managers seem to struggle most with the final and perhaps most important step of the performance review process—providing feedback—especially when the feedback is negative. This conceptual article suggests methods for addressing this issue. The feed forward interview (FFI) or future-focused feedback approach has been suggested as a way to eliminate bias and improve performance. The use of artificial intelligence has potential and expert systems have considerable promise. So, FFI is a partial solution, AI has future potential, and ESs in conjunction with training should close the performance gap and reduce or possibly eliminate the Bambi Effect....
