Entrepreneur Digital Business Strategy and Efficiency: Intervening Role of Firm’s IT Capabilities

137-147Organizations change their business strategies by incorporating digital technology where their skills make an important contribution to the contemporary and continually changing world. This analysis is intended to examine the relationship between Digital Business Strategy (DBS) and the efficiency of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria through the intervening role of Information Technology (IT) capability. The survey is therefore quantitative, and the findings show that DBS has a significant positive effect on the business spanning (p = 0.001), and the coefficient is positive as well. The direct effect of the IT proactive stance is also calculated as a significant positive impact on the efficiency of SMEs (p < 0.055). However, all other direct effects are not statistically significant. A complete intervention of IT capability is assessed favourably by business spanning, IT infrastructure and proactive posture. The intervention effect was evaluated using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method. The research has a variety of management inferences, notably for the proactive posture in which managers will facilitate the transition to improve performance

Assessment of competitiveness of regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan

International audienceIn modern science, there are a large number of techniques focused on the assessment of competitiveness through the analysis of certain resources in the region. However, accounting of human resources in such assessments is not used as a prior factor in identifying regional competitive advantages. Competitive advantages affect not only the efficiency of individual sectors of the economy but also the overall social and economic development of the country. Assessment of the competitiveness of the region should include one of the main parameters of the human resource development level. Therefore, the forecast for the competitiveness of the region should take into account the pace of human resources development. The methods used in Kazakhstan for assessing the competitiveness of a region considers only the assessment of human resources in its structure but do not take into account the level of their development over time, as well as the multi-factorial nature of their components.The work explains and analyzes rating model for assessing of the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan (the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Republic of Kazakhstan). The authors proposed a methodology for ranking the regions of Kazakhstan based on an assessment of the development of their human resources that affect the competitiveness of the region. It includes an analysis of demographic, labor and social and economic indicators reflecting the state of human resources

Board of directors' gender diversity and intellectual capital efficiency: the role of international authorisation

Despite the roles of intellectual capital (IC) as a competitive strategy for firm continued survival, its nexus with board gender diversity (BGD) has sparsely been investigated. The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of BGD on intellectual capital efficiency (ICF) of the listed deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Using a panel data set of 11 banks from 2011 to 2020, we found that BGD has no significant negative effect on ICF with and without the moderating effect of international authorisation. Our finding indicates the need for the management to increase women representation and its quality on the board of directors. The study emphasizes the relevance of BGD on intellectual capital performance with significant implication for academic and practioners. We contribute to literature by examining the effect of BGD on ICF of listed DMBs in Nigeria
