Abstract

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are one of the main development agents and economic contributors to the regional areas. They increase productivity, create employment, and improve the quality of local community's life. They have also significant impacts on the environment and society collectively because a high percentage of businesses in regional areas belongs to SMEs. For example, near to 95% of regional businesses operating in service and industry sectors in Australia are SMEs. Hence, it is necessary to find out the best possible ways to engage the regional SMEs with sustainable practices and see what factors are contributing (or inhibiting) the regional SMEs to be sustainable business citizens. Bringing together the relevant literature and using quantitative methods, this paper explores factors affecting the sustainability adoption by regional SMEs. Through a case study approach, this paper builds a platform for future research in relation to better understanding of the factors affecting the adoption of sustainable practices outside metropolitan regions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
