In the context of sustaining innovation, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) strive to enhance their market position through product improvements. However, globalization and rapid technological advancements pose significant challenges, urging SMEs to integrate innovative capabilities into their business models. Effective SME business model innovation, fueled by customer insights, process efficiency, and technology application, can promote development and unlock additional value-creation resources. Despite this, SMEs encounter difficulties in capitalizing on disruptive innovation due to the competitive, technology-driven, and volatile global market. This study aimed to define a comprehensive conceptual model of disruptive innovation specifically tailored for SMEs. Through an automated content analysis of relevant literature, 13 themes and 82 concepts were identified and categorized into four strategic alignment domains. These domains provide a framework for operationalizing the findings and constructing a conceptual model of disruptive innovation. Utilizing this conceptual model as a checklist can assist SMEs in turning disruption into opportunity, thereby supporting their adaptation and growth in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Despite the global proliferation of special education systems and inclusive education policies, students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) still face challenges in obtaining quality educational experiences. An Occupational Therapist's (OT) role is to support SEN students and help them overcome their limitations. To do so, they require the support of other stakeholders and the use of Knowledge Transfer (KT) tools, which have been segmented into three main domains: devices, image-based, and play KT tools. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of stakeholder involvement and KT tools used by OTs on SEN students in Mauritius. The research questions addressed are as follows: (1) Does stakeholder involvement impact the effectiveness of KT tools? (2) Do devices and KT tools influence effectiveness? (3) Do image-based KT tools influence effectiveness? (4) Do play KT tools influence effectiveness? and (5) Which of these factors is the most influential predictor of KT tool effectiveness? Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire from 55 OTs and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 and Microsoft Excel 2019. Correlation analysis revealed that all four independent constructs significantly correlated with the effectiveness of KT tools. Further analysis through multiple regression indicated that stakeholder involvement and image-based KT tools significantly and positively impacted the effectiveness of KT tools, with image-based KT tools being the more influential predictor in determining effectiveness.
