“…Despite the criticisms suggesting that the definition of resources is excessively broad and that such parameters for obtaining competitive advantage are too theoretical, which makes empirical research difficult (Bromiley and Rau, 2016), the RBV has achieved theory status and inspired several spin-offs from its original proposal (Costa et al, 2021a(Costa et al, , 2021b.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate routines as a conceptual tool to analyze resources management in small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) productive processes. Design/methodology/approach The authors developed a qualitative multiple case study with Brazilian companies in the bakery industry. Data were collected through interviews, on-site observation and documentary analysis. Plus, the authors used business process modeling (BPM) techniques to map the observed routines. Findings The restrictions of SMEs accentuate the improvisation of routines. However, contrary to expected, many of these deviations expand the possibilities of organizational action as they become successful in terms of operational efficiency, which allows these companies to extract performance from ordinary resources and imitable management practices. Practical implications The BPM shows its value to track the allocation of resources in SMEs by recording the evolution of its routines and helping to preserve an operational memory. This finding could be useful to help public agencies to develop accessible management tools to assist small business owners. Originality/value Most of the conceptual tools developed to analyze the resources management are based on the study of large organizations, which may limit the analysis and lead to restricted or mistaken results if used in another context without proper adaptation. The authors apply an objective and representational epistemological lens to organizational routines to adapt it to the pragmatic context of operations management. Also, the authors suggest that better than a resource-based view, the practice-based view is a theoretical approach more compatible with the resource constraints context of SMEs.

PurposeRoutine dynamics provide a robust theoretical framework to explore a wide range of organizational phenomena. However, the study of routines and the effect of technology on its performativity in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) still lack attention by researchers. This paper aims to analyze how the balance between process technology and human cognition affects routines' performativity in SMEs.Design/methodology/approachIt was conducted a multicase study composed of Brazilian SMEs in the bakery industry. Data collection took place through interviews with managers and employees, observation of operational processes and document analysis. Thematic content analysis was adopted for categorization and data analysis.FindingsThe authors’ findings allow inferring there is no primacy of a more automated or artisanal production process to achieve competitiveness, which breaks the paradigm of the superior performance of automated production over the artisanal process that haunts SMEs. Though technology increases production efficiency, the artisanal approach can be valuable at promoting a company by commercially using this know-how to explore other business models appreciated by the public.Practical implicationsThe authors’ proposals became relevant in a practical perspective once it works as a parameter for SME managers' decision-making about new investments in production resources and to foster public policies and other actions developed by support services for small businesses.Originality/valueThis study expands the frontiers in routines literature on SMEs, which lacks deepening. From this, SME managers can intensify actions to optimize process routines performativity through technologies or human cognition to keep the routines on track.

The orchestration approach has been gaining prominence and relevance in recent years, due to high competitiveness in the business context and the search for more efficient strategies to promote innovation. In light of this reality, this paper conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) aiming to contribute to the emerging theme of innovation orchestration. We examined the abstracts of 761 articles and found 75 that were relevant to the topic, which was analyzed using the biblioshiny tool. These documents were published between 2006 and January 2023 and were collected from two databases, Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. We discovered that the highest number of articles was published in 2022. Furthermore, we identified the conceptual evolution of the theme, dividing it into three periods. Through the overall thematic map, we were able to uncover niche and emerging topics such as innovation orchestration in social entrepreneurship networks, innovation orchestration in ecosystems and orchestration mechanisms. Additionally, we contribute by pointing out pathways for future studies, which is a key aspect of advancing knowledge in the field.
