THE ROLE OF DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES IN LINKING EXPORT COMMITMENT TO EXPORT PERFORMANCE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF EXPORTING FIRMS

This study examines the relationship between export commitment, dynamic capabilities, and export performance in the context of international business. The conceptual model presented depicts dynamic capabilities as a mediating variable between export commitment and export performance.The study employs a quantitative approach, using survey data collected from 195 respondents representing exporting firms with SEM PLS analysis. The analysis's findings show that export commitment significantly improves both export performance and dynamic capabilities. Export performance is positively impacted by dynamic capabilities as well, albeit this relationship is not very strong.These results imply that companies who are more committed to exporting typically have stronger dynamic capabilities and export performance. Nevertheless, the initial hypothesis regarding the mediating role of dynamic capacities in the link between export commitment and export performance is not supported. This research advances our knowledge of how companies can enhance their export performance through the development of export commitment and the fortification of dynamic skills. This study has significance for managers and policy makers who want to increase exporting enterprises' international competitiveness.

Instagram live-streamings: how does influencer–follower congruence affect Gen Z trust, attitudes and intentions?

Purpose Influencer marketing is nowadays an essential practice for companies wishing to establish a rapprochement with its customers and gain their trust. Building close relationships can be fulfilled through Instagram live-streamings. Drawing upon equilibrium theory and brand extension theory, this paper aims to determine the effect of influencer–follower congruence on trust, attitudes and intentions in Instagram live-streamings. Design/methodology/approach A survey was carried out on a sample of 330 Generation Z Instagram users exposed to a live-streaming of an influencer promoting a clothing brand on Instagram. A PLS analysis was performed to validate the proposed model. Findings Results revealed that influencer–follower congruence in a live-streaming promotes followers’ trust toward the brand. In addition, influencer reputation is found to reinforce this relationship. Moreover, results showed that brand trust mediates the effect of influencer–follower congruence on brand attitude. Besides, the latter turns out be a mediator of the relationship between brand trust and followers’ intentional reactions. Research limitations/implications The study has focused on one particular live-streaming as well as a particular influencer which reduces the generalizability of the results. Future research should therefore replicate the study with different stimuli. Furthermore, it would be interesting to manipulate influencer–follower congruence in an experiment to explore the effect of varying congruence levels on trust. Practical implications This paper highlights the importance of using live-streamings for brands, especially when Gen Z is targeted. This tool can be considered as very useful to establish a trust relationship with young consumers. Moreover, the study emphasizes on the importance of choosing influencers whose image is in line with that of their followers to establish close relationships with them and gain their trust. The findings also suggest that to further strengthen trust toward the influencer, the latter should benefit from a prior good reputation. Originality/value Despite abundance of research on communication strategies on Instagram, little has focused on live-streamings. Particularly, research on influencer–follower congruence is relatively rare. Thus, this study contributes to the understanding of the effects of influencer–follower congruence on followers of Instagram live-streamings and offers valuable theoretical and practical implications in this field.

A dynamic information technology capability model for fostering innovation in digital transformation

The advent of the digital era has transformed the way businesses create, compete, and maintain their existence, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. To maintain resilience in the ever-changing business landscapes of today, especially in emerging economies, businesses utilize dynamic information technology capabilities (DITC) to cultivate organizational capacities that foster innovation. This article argues that Dynamic Information Technological Capabilities (DITC) allows companies to develop flexible and adaptive skills to foster innovation. The results from 684 Brazilian businesses showed that implementing DITC improved their ability to come up with both new ideas and ways to use existing ones. This was possible because DITC improved the firms' dynamic and improvisational skills. The post hoc analysis of FIMIX PLS and PLS-POS reveals that DITC plays a greater role in fostering innovation through dynamic capabilities (DCs) rather than improvisational capabilities. The research on unobserved heterogeneity showed that a high level of DITC hasBig and strong effects on developing dynamic and improvisational skills for coming up with new ambidexterity ideas. The results indicated that companies should integrate the potential of digital technology and information to establish organizational capacities that can effectively compete within developing economies.

Training entrepreneurs in culturally diverse countries. Influence of Social Norms on Entrepreneurial Intention

One of the most influential factors in people's lives is the place of birth. At the educational and employment level, our future is often determined by social and cultural factors associated with the country or region where we are born. This study explores the extent to which National Culture conditions the influence of Social Norms on the Entrepreneurial Intention of business students. We focus on the components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour proposed by Ajzen and on Hofstede's dimensions of National Culture. To test our hypotheses we surveyed 352 business students at universities or business schools in seven countries with large cultural differences. The results of PLS analyses show that the effect of Social Norms on Entrepreneurial Intention is larger among individuals from national cultures with high Power Distance, low Individualism and Short-Term Orientation. These effects of national culture should be considered when designing entrepreneurship education programmes.
