Abstract

The advent of digitization has unlocked numerous avenues for a country's economic advancement, particularly benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With the ubiquitous presence of Internet technologies, the landscape has undergone a rapid transformation. Today's business environment differs significantly from both the past and the anticipated future. The integration of the Internet into business operations has spurred significant innovations across various sectors. Nevertheless, leveraging the Internet in business operations offers flexibility and substantial leeway in terms of organizational structure and management practices. However, limited financial resources pose a significant barrier to widespread Internet adoption in businesses. Additionally, coping with technological advancements remains a pressing challenge for businesses' economic development. Our research hypothesis posits that a coherent and strategic utilization of the Internet yields notable impacts on business performance. Our research aims to delineate the various ways in which businesses employ the Internet and to underscore its influence on business performance. We conducted surveys on more than 125 small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in downtown Antananarivo-Madagascar and its environs between 2021 and 2023. The gathered data underwent statistical analysis using SPSS and XLSTAT software.

Abstract

The rise of new Internet technologies represents a significant and compelling advancement on a global scale, exerting a dynamic influence on business management. The ongoing digitization process rapidly transforms the structure of value chains, creating new opportunities to enhance value creation for businesses and institutions at an organizational level. However, the widespread adoption of the Internet presents a challenging landscape for small and medium-sized enterprises, which must navigate significant financial obstacles and market uncertainties. Despite these challenges, the use of the Internet deeply influences the daily environment and social dynamics of SMEs. Our research aims to delve deeper into this impact by analyzing how Internet usage affects the organizational framework of small and medium-sized enterprises. We conducted a survey involving more than 125 manufacturing SMEs between 2021 and 2023 in downtown Antananarivo- Madagascar and its surrounding areas, and we performed statistical analysis on the collected data using SPSS and XLSTAT software.

Abstract

Faced with the rapid degradation of ecosystems, the ecological emergency is now undeniable according to global scientific analyses. In this context, protected areas, through shared governance, have emerged as one of the most effective strategies for preserving biodiversity and ultimately ensuring the survival of humanity. Madagascar, which has embraced this shared governance, relies on its local communities, the fokonolona, to ensure its effectiveness. However, these communities, living in precarious conditions, are heavily dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods and benefit little from the advantages of protected areas. Their adherence to the concept of protected areas remains uncertain. A field study revealed that while 52% support the concept of protected areas, 44% are not convinced. Nevertheless, since it is a state policy, all natural resource users have accepted it. One of the primary motivations for the fokonolona is the preservation of their cultural and natural heritage. They therefore advocate for joint co-management that guarantees their participation in inclusive local governance for their engagement in the protected area. 93% of respondents believe that this co-management should be conducted through a commons-based approach, which is well-rooted in their organization. Even other users, in order to defend their interests, aspire to this approach where all users define the rules for resource management themselves. However, this commons-based approach does not seem suitable for all categories of protected areas, including natural parks, which is the option chosen by the manager for Sahamalaza – Iles Radama.
