Through a series of VOSviewer visualizations, we identify major thematic clusters, emerging research trends, unexplored opportunities, and patterns of author collaboration within the field. Our findings reveal a strong initial focus on crisis management in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which gradually shifted towards long-term strategic issues such as business model innovation, digitalization strategies, and international market expansion. The analysis highlights under-researched areas including specific business processes and implications of digital transformation in the manufacturing sector, suggesting fruitful avenues for future research. Additionally, the study maps the collaboration networks among scholars, uncovering both strong interconnections and potential gaps that offer opportunities for new scholarly partnerships. This paper contributes to the strategic knowledge on digital transformation in SMEs by outlining the evolution of research themes over time and suggesting directions for future research collaborations to enhance the digital resilience and competitiveness of SMEs.

Bibliometric Analysis of Firm Adaptation Strategies in a Hypercompetitive Environment

2024-06-13T03:38:15+00:00

This study utilizes bibliometric analysis to map the scholarly landscape of research in hypercompetitive environments and strategic management. Through VOSviewer visualizations, we identified thematic clusters, examined trends over time, analyzed under-researched opportunities, and explored patterns of author collaboration. Our findings reveal a significant shift from foundational theoretical research towards more practical, industry-specific strategies that address dynamic competitive challenges. We identified key thematic areas such as industry dynamics, leadership in hypercompetition, globalization impacts, and sector-specific adaptation strategies. Furthermore, less-explored areas such as opportunity recognition and competitive dynamics offer fruitful avenues for future research. The author collaboration network analysis highlighted both active clusters and potential areas for increased interdisciplinary collaboration, suggesting a maturing yet still siloed research community. This comprehensive overview not only synthesizes existing research but also highlights strategic gaps and opportunities for future scholarly work in the domain of strategic management within hypercompetitive contexts.

This study employs a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore the evolution, trends, and research networks within the field of Agile Project Management (APM). Utilizing data from prominent academic databases and visualized through VOSviewer, this paper identifies thematic clusters that highlight foundational Agile principles, strategic implementations, team dynamics, and technical aspects of APM. The research trends over the past decade demonstrate a significant shift from basic Agile methodologies towards advanced topics like risk and cost management, reflecting the field's maturation and adaptation to diverse and complex environments. The analysis also uncovers substantial research opportunities in integrating Agile practices with cost management, applying Agile in non-traditional fields, and developing sophisticated risk management strategies. Moreover, an examination of author collaboration networks reveals distinct clusters of scholarly activity and highlights influential researchers and their interrelationships. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamic landscape of Agile Project Management research, underscoring both established areas and emerging frontiers for future exploration.

Dynamics of Conflict Management Research in the Public and Private Sectors: A Bibliometric Analysis

2024-07-01T02:23:30+00:00

This bibliometric analysis explores the evolving landscape of conflict management research across various dimensions, including thematic clusters, research trends, emerging opportunities, and author collaborations. Utilizing VOSviewer for visual mapping, the study identifies key themes such as leadership styles, resolution processes, and personal traits like gender and professional roles that dominate the discourse. A longitudinal analysis from 2002 to 2010 highlights a pivotal shift from foundational conflict management concepts towards addressing broader societal impacts and understanding the economic ramifications of conflict. Opportunities for future research were pinpointed in underexplored areas such as ethnic conflicts, the costs associated with conflict, and the roles of power in achieving peace. The author collaboration network, though sparse, reveals central figures that could drive further interdisciplinary studies. This study not only maps the current state of conflict management research but also sets the stage for future explorations that could bridge theoretical gaps and enhance practical applications.

Revamping the Role of SMEs’ Digital Financial Management Through Islamic Fin-Tech in Borama

2024-06-24T02:48:02+00:00

Abstract

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in economic growth, particularly in developing countries like Somalia. However, SMEs often encounter financial obstacles due to limited access to conventional banking services adhering to Islamic principles. This study aims to examinate the potential of Islamic Fin-Tech in bolstering Digital Financial Management among SMEs in Borama. Methodologically, the study utilizes quantitative data analysis methods, specifically multiple regression, to examine survey data gathered through purposive sampling. The data is obtained from a total of 2254 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) situated in Borama. Demographic data, including gender, education, occupation, and firm types, are examined alongside the duration of utilizing Islamic fintech solutions. Assumption tests such as normality and multicollinearity tests are conducted to ensure the reliability of the regression model employed. The results indicate a significant adoption of Islamic fintech solutions among SMEs, particularly in recent years. While variables such as Service Accessibility and Digital Banking do not show significant impacts on Digital Financial Management (DFM) due to the internet shortage, SMS Banking and E-Wallet emerge as influential factors that positively affect SMEs' digital financial management performances. Hypotheses testing confirms the significance of SMS Banking and E-Wallet in predicting DFM. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of E-Wallet services and SMS banking in enhancing SMEs' digital financial management. These insights offer valuable implications for financial institutions and policymakers to develop strategies aimed at improving SMEs' digital financial management practices. The study requires for further research to explore additional variables and deepen the understanding of factors that influence SMEs' digital financial management. By understanding the transformative potential of Islamic Fin-Tech, stakeholders can collaborate on designing and implementing measures supporting SMEs, driving economic growth, and aligning with Islamic finance principles. Embracing technological advancements like digital banking and SMS banking can help SMEs overcome financial hurdles and amplify their contributions to economic development.
