Exploring the relationship between big data analytics capability and competitive performance : The mediating roles of dynamic and operational capabil…
2020
A central question for information systems (IS) researchers and practitioners is if, and how, big data can help attain a competitive advantage. To address this question, this study draws on the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities view, and on recent literature on big data analytics, and examines the indirect relationship between a firm’s big data analytics capability (BDAC) and competitive performance. The study extends existing research by proposing that BDACs enable firms to generate insight that can help strengthen their dynamic capabilities, which, in turn, positively impact marketing and technological capabilities. To test our proposed research model, we used survey data from 202…
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESOURCE BASED FIRM BETWEEN VALUE APPROPRIATION AND VALUE CREATION
2005
Various authors have brought forth the idea that the increase in context turbulence and the relentless change in today’s economic and competitive environments have rendered it essential for an effective firm strategy to combine both value appropriation and value creation (Porter, (1996); Moran & Ghoshal, (1999); Venkataraman & Sarasvathy, (2001); Hitt et al., (2001b). Nonetheless, the methodological bases and the assumptions that characterize contributions concerning value appropriation and value creation are notably different and in many respects opposite to one another. These profound methodological differences hinder the possibility of a combined consideration of value appropriation and …
How technology-based firms become also highly innovative firms? The role of knowledge, technological and managerial capabilities, and entrepreneurs’ …
2019
To what extent is the likelihood that a Technology-Based Firm – TBF – turns into a Technology-Based and Highly Innovative Firm – TB&InnF – is influenced by technical capabilities or managerial capabilities and education background? We analyse this question using a novel data panel assembled for 326 Spanish industrial firms, along the period 1998–2014. Our findings show the probability of becoming a TB&InnF growths when firms are able to accumulate a high endowment of knowledge and technological capabilities, and a managerial team with experience, a strong power position and previous technical or managerial education background. Results also indicate the CEO's educational profile in manageme…

The implications of dynamic capacities vis-à-vis competitiveness and innovation in the 21st century
2013
The theoretical transition being apparent in the analysis of internal competitive advantage sources is being dealt with in this paper. A theoretical approach is being applied which is focused on those processes allowing companies to upkeep and enhance their competitiveness, become adapted to changes, and become able to foresee changes in the market. This survey shows the eclectic nature of dynamic capacities bringing in dynamic elements into static-nature theories, and further addresses the biases being apparent in these two approaches both in the theoretical setting and in the managerial practice. This survey also looks into the generation, development and change processes pertaining with …
The classification of the capabilities of the firm

Purpose: The aim of this article is to present an identification of the premises for the classification of firm capabilities and to show the types of firm capability classification found in the literature. Design/methodology/approach: The classification of capability groups presented in this article is based on the literature review conducted. Findings: Standard classification of a firm's capabilities, in addition to structuring existing knowledge in the area of capabilities, can provide a starting point for identifying the firm's key capabilities leading to competitive advantage. Practical implications: Identifying a firm's capabilities is one of the key steps in creating and leveraging ca…
Koncepcja dynamicznych zdolności w budowaniu konkurencyjności łańcucha dostaw
2019
W ostatnich latach zauważalne jest stale postępujące i coraz bardziej wyraziste „osadzenie” problematyki logistyki i zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw w zasobowym nurcie zarządzania strategicznego. W nurcie tym podkreśla się kluczowe znaczenie potencjałów sukcesu, obejmujących m.in. zdolności, w tym tzw. dynamiczne zdolności, w budowaniu oraz wzmacnianiu długookresowej konkurencyjności przedsiębiorstw i łańcuchów dostaw. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie możliwości wykorzystania koncepcji dynamicznych zdolności, obejmujących również zdolności związane ze sferą logistyki, w budowaniu konkurencyjności łańcucha dostaw. W szczególności zaprezentowano tu istotę konkurencyjności i jej podstawowe wyzn…
Papel de los sistemas de control de gestión en el éxito de la trasformación digital: influencia en las capacidades dinámicas digitales
2023
La rápida evolución de las tecnologías de la información (TI) y sus aplicaciones empresariales está obligando a las organizaciones a realizar esfuerzos constantes para seguir siendo competitivas. La nueva economía digital, así como el entorno disruptivo y cambiante en el que operan las empresas, fuerza a los directivos a priorizar estratégicamente procesos de adaptación y transformación, replanteando su perspectiva estratégica más allá de la implantación de nuevas tecnologías (Rogers, 2016), para provocar un cambio profundo en toda la organización. Este proceso es conocido, aunque no siempre es bien entendido, como transformación digital (TD). La TD modifica el alcance y la velocidad del la…

The upcoming rise of SMEs in cross-border public procurement: is it a matter of networking capabilities?.
2022
La participación de las SME en licitaciones públicas es un tema recurrente en la literatura académica reciente, sin embargo, se ha prestado poca atención a la participación de las PYME en licitaciones internacionales o transfronterizas. Las SME que quieren participar en una licitación pública internacional debe superar barreras internas y externas que difcultan la tarea y minimizan las posibilidades de que le sea concedida la licitación. En este contexto, las capacidades dinámicas son fundamentales para que las PYME puedan enfrentarse y resolver dichas barreras en el contexto internacional. Especialmente son las capacidades de establecer redes las que pueden hacer que las PYME aumenten su d…
