The Effect of Strategic Flexibility as a Moderating Variable in Improving Firm Performance in Microfinance Institutions

Purpose: This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of intangible assets in increasing sustainable competitive advantage and performance in microfinance institutions as well as the influence of strategic flexibility as a moderating variable. Theoretical framework: The five variables studied, namely intellectual capital and social capital, each measured with three dimensions as independent variables, sustainable competitive advantage as variable intervening and performance as dependent variables, and the influence of strategic flexibility moderation. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted with a quantitative approach; questioners were given to MFI leaders in Madura while analysis of the influence of each variable using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software. Findings: The results of the analysis show that intellectual capital has a significant effect on sustainable competitive advantage and performance, social capital has a significant impact on sustainable competitive advantage but does not affect performance, while strategic flexibility weakens the influence of intellectual capital on firm performance and strengthens the effect of social capital on performance. Research, Practical & Social Implications: The following study can be more detailed by measuring and exploring the influence of each dimension, both social capital and intellectual capital dimensions. Company leaders must continue to increase the value of intellectual capital and develop social relations and utilize these relationships in alternative strategies. Originality/value: This study investigates the influence of intellectual capital and social capital on sustainable competitive advantage and performance in a hyper-competitive business environment as well as the effect of moderation of strategic flexibility with research objects in Islamic microfinance institutions.

How does strategic flexibility affect bricolage: The moderating role of environmental turbulence.

While most studies have viewed strategic flexibility as a capability to cope with the environmental turbulence and promote the product innovation, few of them investigate the mediating mechanism in the relationship between the strategic flexibility and product innovation. According to the resource-based view, we regard the bricolage as a concrete activity of recombining the different resources in the product development process and explore the underlying mechanism. Our results reveal that strategic flexibility has a positive and significant effect on bricolage. The effect of strategic flexibility on product innovation is partially mediated by bricolage. Furthermore, environmental turbulence moderates the relationship between strategic flexibility and bricolage positively. We contribute to the strategic flexibility research by exploring the effect of strategic flexibility on the bricolage and product innovation form a mediating perspective and offering a more nuanced and in-depth understanding of the impact of strategic flexibility. This research also provides new evidence on the effect of strategic flexibility on product innovation in transition economies such as China, where strategic flexibility is essential for firms to adapt to an uncertain environment.

Strategic flexibility, strategic leadership and business sustainability nexus

Strategic leadership promote organisational strategic flexibility and enhance business sustainability. Drawing on the theoretical lens of dynamic capability and contingency theory, a framework of hypotheses is established that focuses on strategic flexibility, strategic leadership and its implications on business sustainability. This research used surveys collected from microfinance banks operating in Nigeria. The results show that strategic flexibility and strategic leadership have a significant influence on business sustainability. Also, strategic flexibility and strategic leadership significantly affect business sustainability indicators of economic, social, environmental and innovation performance. Finally, we found that strategic leadership moderate the effect of strategic flexibility on business sustainability and its indicators. Our findings clarify the role that organisational capabilities (strategic flexibility and strategic leadership) play in enhancing business sustainability, particularly in the emerging market context.

The Effect of Strategic Flexibility on Strategy-Performance Nexus: A Conceptual Model

Many of the business strategies adopted by organizations fail as a result of inflexibility of such strategies in responding to market dynamics. Although there is a considerable number of research to indicate that the strategic clarity has a strong positive association with firm performance, there remains little theoretical and empirical evidence to explain the effect of strategic flexibility on firm performance. Hence, this concept paper draws on the Porter’s typology and the Miles and Snow’s typology to analyze how the strategic flexibility moderates the association between strategic clarity and firm performance. The paper concludes with a conceptual model that enables the testing of the discrete effect of strategic flexibility on firm performance which in turn will add insights to the said models in the study.

Technological Configuration Capability, Strategic Flexibility, and Organizational Performance in Chinese High-Tech Organizations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of corporate technology configuration capability on the relationship between strategic flexibility and organizational performance throughout the different stages of the technological life cycle. By empirically examining 439 Chinese high-tech organizations, we found that technological configuration capability enhances the effect of strategic flexibility on organizational performance in a complex dynamic environment. However, different impacts were observed on the different stages of the technological life cycle. In addition, we explored the strategic flexibility during the different stages of the technological life cycle based on our empirical study.

Managing Strategic Orientations for NSD Performance: An Empirical Study of B2B Service Firms

As B2B service firms experience unprecedented environmental changes, what should firms focus their attention to develop the most effective strategic orientations? The purpose of this study is to advance the literature by investigating the complex relationships among five types of strategic orientations (market, service, interaction, learning, and international) and six dimensions of NSD performance, while considering the moderating effect of strategic flexibility. Based on a survey of 491 leading B2B service firms in Asia, the results reveal that not all strategic orientations are equally effective as to which learning orientation has the strongest effect, followed by interaction orientation, market orientation, international orientation, and service orientation. Further, the relative performance of five strategic orientations is found to be contingent on strategic flexibility. Overall, our results help managers choose their most effective strategic orientations for their organizations.

A Meta Analysis of the Antecedents and Consequences of Strategic Flexibility

It is axiomatic that strategic flexibility is a key success factor in generating competitive advantage. Despite this maxim, often peddled in the normative literature, empirical studies have produced inconsistent results for the strength and direction of this relationship. We synthesize these results and provide empirical support for a general, moderate, and positive effect of strategic flexibility on firm performance. Moreover, we find that strategic flexibility indirectly affects financial performance through its positive effects on innovation capability and superior market position, and that strategic flexibility has a negative direct effect on financial performance. Importantly, the meta-analytic evidence also indicates that the strategic flexibility-performance relationship depends on measurement methods, the research context, and certain environmental characteristics. Exploratory analyses regarding the antecedents of strategic flexibility reveal many meaningful differences to the predominant expectations in prior research. Overall, our results provide the necessary nuance to discerning the specific antecedent and consequential effects of strategic flexibility, thereby providing valuable implications for managers, and outlining a research agenda for future inquiries.

Paradoxical Strategies and Firm Performance: The Case of Indonesian Banking Industry

Recently, research on paradoxical strategies has been considered critical in winning in the competitive dynamic landscape, characterized by uncertainty and rapid changes in the business environment. Such environmental uncertainties require firm to apply paradoxical strategies; combining strategic flexibility and strategic consistency (Parnell, 1994). This study addresses three main questions: what is the effect of strategic flexibility on firm’s performance; what is the effect of strategic consistency on firm’s performance; what is the contingent effect of perceived environmental uncertainty on the relationship between paradoxical strategies and firm’s performance. Questionnaires were distributed to 131 CEOs or members of top management team of Indonesian commercial banks (including sharia banks); and the 59 returned responses were analyzed to test hypotheses. The results indicate that strategic flexibility has positive effect on bank‘s performance, while strategic consistency does not have significant effect on bank’s performance. In terms of combining these two paradoxical strategies, the results of this study confirm that the effect of strategic flexibility on bank’s performance depends on strategic consistency and environmental uncertainty.
