... For several decades, content analysis is widely adopted by studies that look for systematic linkages among ideas, messages, and values in communication data based on valid statistical methods (Bakoğlu and Yıldırım, 2016; David et al., 2014;David, 1989;Nevi et al., 2022;Pearce and David, 1987;Seo et al., 2021;Seo and Itoh, 2019). ...
Rapidly changing business environments and fierce competition are making it increasingly difficult for modern companies to maintain competitive advantage and accomplish business longevity. This study can fill the research gap in mission research and longevity research, and provides implications on what form and content of mission should be selected when determining the direction of a company’s corporate strategy. Although a company’s mission is a communication tool that represents the company’s strategic priorities and unique values, it has rarely been considered an important factor in business longevity. This study conducts a content analysis of the mission statements of 43 companies in the Henokiens Association to clarify the linkage between a company’s mission and business longevity and the configurations of long-lived firms’ missions. Our results show most long-lived firms have clear missions and perceptions of familism expansion. The firms’ past, present, and future additions to their concern for products, business growth, unique philosophy, and stakeholders are highlighted in their mission statements. Therefore, the main theoretical contribution of focusing on the corporate mission as a factor of business longevity in this study is not only a new approach to the longevity factor, but also the discovery of new values of the mission in strategic management research. The practical contribution of this study is that it reveals that companies seeking long-term competitive advantage in the market need to design, possess, and share a high-quality mission from a long-term perspective and instill the ideology of extended familyism. It can also provide hints about strategic priorities for small, family-run businesses facing threats to their survival.

This empirical study aims into how market orientation and competitive strategy orientation affect the success of innovative products in small and medium-sized Ethiopian businesses. Small and medium-sized businesses are essential to economic growth, especially in developing nations like Ethiopia, where they are the main drivers of local development and the generation of jobs. However, these companies face significant challenges including scarce resources and volatile markets, necessitating the use of tactical approaches to preserve their competitiveness and foster growth. A mixed-methods approach was used in this cross-sectional study, with 396 respondents completing self-administered questionnaires for the quantitative data and semi-structured open-ended interviews for the qualitative data. The analysis was conducted using SPSS and the AMOS app. The findings show both an increase in competitive strategy orientation and market orientation results in an increase product inventive success, and also, an increase in product innovative success results in an increase in both market share and financial performance. The study also demonstrates the noteworthy and indirect positive relationships that market orientation and competitive strategy orientation have on market share and financial success. The outcomes showed how crucial these strategic orientations are to the capacity of Ethiopian SMEs to innovate, overcome challenges, preserve their competitiveness, and promote economic growth. The study emphasizes how important it is for Ethiopian SMEs to have a competitive strategy orientation that is in line with their market orientation in order to successfully innovate new products. Businesses can better respond to market needs and competitive pressures and promote innovation by utilizing insights from competitive analysis and market research, by offering insightful guidance on enhancing innovation and competitiveness in the Ethiopian context, as well as practical pointers for SME leaders and policymakers, this study fills a vacuum in the literature.

ABSTRACT: This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive field study on
the effectiveness of Total Quality Management (TQM) and its dimensions of
Leadership (LE), Resources (RE), and Process (PR) on Strategic Management
(SM) and its dimensions of Strategic Formulation (SF) and Strategic Evolution
(SE). Additionally, it aims to explore the role of Human Resources (HR) as
a mediator in southern Iraq. The bibliographic review revealed encouraging
findings regarding the environmental and social responsibility of strategic
management, particularly in terms of comparative bias. It also suggests
that management in southern Iraq is focused on implementing sustainable
building methods and enhancing efficiency through effective total quality
management and human resources. In this study of strategic management,

... Previous studies have revealed the significance of CEO statements in annual reports to the putative readers, namely, shareholders or investors or society at large and have illustrated the utility as a strategic communication to enhance CI. Many studies have investigated CEO statements or letters in terms of the readability (Bayerlein and Davidson 2011;Julianaldri and Tarjo 2022;Wang, Hsieh, and Sarkis 2018), the diction and tone (Alshorman and Shanahan 2022;Blackford 2014;Amernic 2011, 2018), the informativeness, rhetoric and effectiveness as a means of strategic communication (Gâţă and Stoica 2014;Patelli and Pedrini 2014;Seo, Munehiko, and Li 2021;Yan, Aerts, and Thewissen 2019), the variation in use of meta-discourse (Huang and Rose 2018), the effectiveness along dimensions of credibility, efficacy, commitment, and responsibility (Segars and Kohut 2001), the sustainability embeddedness in the era of globalization (Arvidsson 2023) and sentiment analytics and impression management (Boudt and Thewissen 2019).

This study presents a corpus-assisted comparison of Chinese and Western chief executive officer statements in annual reports. Using two self-built corpora of 15 statements from 2017 to 2021 annual reports in three Chinese listed pharmaceutical companies, representative of Chinese companies, and 15 statements from 2017 to 2021 annual reports in one American multinational, one British multinational and one Australian listed corporation in the same industry, representative of Western companies, this study employs the Discourse-Historical Approach of Critical Discourse Studies and the corpus linguistic analysis tool Wmatrix5 to investigate linguistic means, discursive strategies and semantic domains of the two corpora. The study results show that Chinese CEOs tend to present an objective, authoritative and thriving “out-group” identity with strong awareness of environmental protection while Western CEOs tend to project an affiliative, inclusive and well-established “in-group” identity with leading industrial status and a global mindset. This study is of significance in understanding cross-cultural differences in projecting corporate identities through CEO statements in annual reports.
The National Economic Recovery (NER) Program is one of the responses initiated by the government in Indonesia's economic recovery due to the impact of COVID-19, the target is to reduce the activities of affected communities, including cooperatives. One of the priority aspects for the program to run well and smoothly is the role of institutions in knowledge management and process sharing. This paper examines the role of knowledge management and sharing in cooperatives with qualitative limitations at the knowledge process level, knowledge design level, strategic interaction level, social participation level, academic and scientific ecosystem level, and network and partnership level. A qualitative description becomes a research method with secondary data in the form of a comparison of cooperatives in 2019–2021 as a representation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 secondary data for 20 months from April 2020 to September 2022 in Indonesia dynamically also support sharpening the analysis. The source of cooperative data is from the publications of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, while the source of COVID-19 data comes from the publication of the COVID-19 Task Force. The analysis is carried out by building qualitative aspects into quantitative ones that can be formulated in the form of cooperative applications. The result is that the application of the knowledge process level, knowledge design level, strategic interaction level, social participation level, academic and scientific ecosystem level, and network and partnership level can improve decision-making, capture, share, and measure institutional knowledge for the success of the NER Program.
