The impact of organizational capabilities on the international performance of knowledge-based firms

This study aims to investigate the capabilities of knowledge-based firms in Iranian chemical industries and to analyze the link between these capabilities and the firms’ international performance in terms of exports. By combining 18 different output-based indicators and also using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), six measures for technological, manufacturing, R&D, marketing, organizing, and financial capabilities were constructed. Accordingly, the impact of mentioned capabilities on the international performance of knowledge-based firms in the period of 2015–2018 was examined using regression analysis. The results show more or less the same results when we investigate total export in dollar amount and the number of export destinations: R&D, manufacturing, marketing, and financial capabilities are the factors that boost export in the firms. However, when we control the export performance with the number of employees, the results show that marketing capability is the only factor significantly affecting total export per employee. In other words, marketing capability is the only one always identified as the important factor of firms’ exports. This finding implies no “one-size-fits-all” solution for empowering firms to boost exports. Depending on the goals (total export, export per employee, and the number of export destinations), the government should target different sets of organizational capabilities as the support package for firms. The present study can be a basis for the decision-making approach of managers and policymakers to upgrade the capabilities and improve the competitiveness of these firms in the international environment.

Exploring How Organizational Capabilities Contribute to the Performance of Social Enterprises: Insights from China

The impact of organizational capabilities on the performance of social enterprises (SEs) has not been examined in the context of China. This study addresses the research gap by conducting a hypothesis-testing quantitative study. The questionnaire survey data of 206 Chinese SEs were analyzed by performing Pearson correlation and hierarchical linear regression analyses. The research findings show that four types of organizational capabilities have divergent effects on the social and economic performance of Chinese SEs. Specifically, stakeholder engagement capabilities and business planning capabilities make positive contributions to SE performance in economic and social domains, while human resource management capabilities have positive effects on social performance but not economic performance, and there is no statistically positive relationship between marketing capabilities and SE performance in economic and social domains. Our study provides important practical implications to managers of SEs in China or in another similar context, who should give priority to enhancing stakeholder engagement capabilities and business planning capabilities rather than human resource management capabilities and marketing capabilities as a booster of economic and social performance of SEs.

The Impact of Organizational Capabilities on SMEs Export Performance: Application of the Resource Based View Theory

The research aimed at identifying the organizational capabilities that influence the export performance of SMEs in Zimbabwe, as well as the strategies that can be adopted by SMEs to enhance their export performance. A mixed-methods study was carried out with a sample size of 345 SMEs in Harare, comprising food processing, leather products, and textiles and four (4) policy advocates and four (4) export business analysts. Questionnaires were directed at the SME owner-managers and an interview guide was used to collect qualitative data. The results reveal that, although distinctive capabilities play a pivotal role in enhancing the export performance of SMEs; its impact on Zimbabwean manufacturing SMEs is not significant. The findings are envisaged to provide insights on how SMEs in Zimbabwe can embrace organisational capabilities to enhance export performance.

The Impact of Organizational Capabilities and Willingness on Supplier Knowledge Flow Management: Evidence from Pakistan

This study investigates the influence of Organizational Capabilities and Willingness on Supplier Knowledge Flow Management. Data was collected from supply chain personals from Pakistan by means of a close-ended questionnaire. Data were analyzed through Structured Equation Modeling and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The results suggested that Supplier Knowledge Flow Management is positively and significantly influenced by both Organizational Capabilities and Willingness factors. Thus the results suggested that managers should develop the communication system that improves the sharing of knowledge among the partners. The spare level of communication among the workers could affect the enactment of the organization and could further affect the goal attainment strategy significantly.

Hit with One Shot: Assessing the Drivers of Target Marketing Effectiveness

This article is about target marketing and the impact of organizational capabilities and industry structure on targeting‐effective decisions. In order to demonstrate such an impact, issues about resource‐based view of the firm and dynamic capabilities theories, together with Porter's five forces framework, have been employed to: pinpoint a comprehensive picture regarding overall segment attractiveness and develop an effective targeting strategy a firm may pursue. As practical examples of targeting strategies, three business cases have been discussed, aiming at reinforcing the theoretical insights developed in the paper.

A Conceptual Model of Value Creation at the Base of the Pyramid and in Electronic Business Firms: An Integration of Theoretical Perspectives

While electronic business has created unprecedented value for Internet firms and other industries, the sources of value creation have remained ambiguous. Since such sources of value creation and the action repertoires of these firms are essential to their survival, there is continued interest in this stream of research. Although value creation in electronic business has been studied by both strategy and IS researchers, empirical evidence for value creation through specific mechanisms is still lacking. For instance, how does IT contribute to value creation in electronic business environments through efficiency, novelty and complementarities? I build on prior research to examine two sources of value creation in electronic business – IT patents and IT-enabled coordination mechanisms. While prior research has indicated that IT patents enable firms to execute a variety of strategic actions, which can create value, theoretical justifications for the role of such novelty have been lacking. Similarly, while IT-enabled coordination has been studied to understand their role in business value creation, specific mechanisms in electronic business and their impact on efficiency gains need to be clarified. Finally, there is also a need to understand the role of IT patents in enabling complementarities with other innovative activity.I examine the role of IT enabled coordination mechanisms and IT patents through three frameworks from strategy namely Porter’s five forces framework, the resource-based view of the firm and the dynamic capabilities framework in providing competitive advantage for firms. Using the dynamic capabilities framework as the theory base, I then analyze the impact of IT enabled coordination mechanisms on the organizational processes in electronic business as well as the role of patenting business processes on the impact of organizational capabilities on electronic business performance. I then develop a theoretical framework and a set of propositions to investigate value creation in electronic business through the strategic use of Information Technology (IT). Furthermore, I integrate the dynamic capabilities perspectives with the coordination theory perspectives to integrate the micro-level views about coordination mechanisms with the macro-level views about capabilities. The investigation of these mechanisms suggests that the strategic use of IT can indeed create sustainable value in electronic business and that the dynamic capabilities framework can be a suitable theory base for investigating such impacts.
