“…As for the level of dynamism, there are no observed differences between firms that operate in High and Low dynamic sectors, which confirms the value of IT Capabilities for environments with constant changes as well as stable ones (Protogerou et al, 2012).…”

Resumo: Considerando as demandas da Teoria Baseada em Recursos (TBR) e da literatura de Sistemas de Informação (SI) quanto à captação do valor da TI em multiníveis de desempenho do negócio, este artigo objetiva identificar em que medida as Capacidades de TI impactam diretamente o Desempenho em nível de Palavras-chave: Valor da TI; Capacidades de TI; Desempenho multinível.Abstract: Considering the demands of the Resource-Based Theory (RBT) and Information Systems (IS) literature regarding the identification of IT value in multi-level business performance, this article aims to detect the extent to which IT Capabilities directly impact performance at the process level and indirectly impact performance at the company level. A survey method was adopted and applied in three research phases: i. Pre-test survey -with researchers representing IT and business areas; ii. Pilot study -with IT and business professionals, and iii. Complete study -with IT and business managers in large Brazilian organizations, according to the 2012 ranking of the largest Brazilian organizations. The measurement model was defined using the Structural Equation Modeling in the pilot study and confirmed in the complete study, with the research hypotheses tested in the structural model. The results show that IT Capabilities positively impact Process Performance, which, in turn, impacts Company-level performance. Additionally, IT Capabilities are found to have an indirect impact on Company Performance, confirming partial mediation by Performance at the Process level. The moderating effects of four variables (company size, lifespan, sector dynamism, and industry) were tested in the relationship between IT Capabilities and Process Performance, presenting null results for all four. The theoretical contributions of this research, along with its limitations and research opportunities, are provided in the discussion and conclusion of the article.

“…The reason underlying this may be that in contrast to the other two dimensions, integration capability is 'a static concept' (Teece, Pisano, & Shuen, 1997: 518) pertaining to linking and combining existing activities and resources. It is more related to integration of different activities with a purpose of encouraging efficiency, such as effective integration and standardization of business processes, and systematic implementation of business planning (Protogerou, Caloghirou, & Lioukas, 2012), which is less likely to affect innovation activities (Abemathy, 1978;Benner & Tushman, 2003). Second and more subtle, while sensing capability has significant impact on technological innovation, it does not affect market innovation.…”

“…Empirical research for mediating mechanisms is more scarce. The only notable exception is Protogerou, Caloghirou, and Lioukas (2012), who propose and empirically test that a mediating model of dynamic capabilities improve firm performance through operational capabilities. Their study, however, appears tautological in the sense that dynamic capabilities are defined to govern the rate of change of operational capabilities (Winter, 2003).…”

How firms' dynamic capabilities lead to their competitive advantage and improved firm performance has been a core issue and full of debates. In this research, we theorize that dynamic capabilities, which could be defined by three distinct dimensions (sensing capability, integration capability, and reconfiguration capability), facilitate different types of innovation that in turn improve firm performance. Based on a sample of 204 Chinese firms, results from partial least squares structural equation modeling analyses generally support our arguments despite some nuanced differences existing among different dimensions of dynamic capabilities. This study contributes to dynamic capabilities literature by reducing the scarcity of empirical research and by uncovering the mechanisms through which dynamic capabilities influence firm performance.

“…However, most of the literature on dynamic and organizational capabilities consists of descriptive studies rather than empirical findings [4,6,[14][15][16][17][18]. The majority of empirical studies are case studies [15,19,20]. Empirical studies that feature more quantitative approaches are still needed to provide more academic rigor to this concept, especially in developing countries.…”

The Impact of Managerial and Adaptive Capabilities to Stimulate Organizational Innovation in SMEs: A Complementary PLS–SEM Approach

Abstract:The aim of this study is to empirically explore and propose a rigorous model for the positive impact of managerial capability (in terms of decision-making, management style, people development, and succession planning) and adaptive capability (in terms of horizon scanning, change management, and resilience) on organizational innovation in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The study uses partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the model hypotheses, and importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA) to provide information regarding the significance and relevance of the dimensions of managerial and adaptive capability in explaining organizational innovation in the proposed model. The empirical data is gathered through questionnaires from 210 SMEs. The results show a strong and significant relationship between managerial capability, adaptive capability, and organizational innovation. This study found that all of the dimensions of managerial capability and adaptive capability help to develop and improve the performance of organizational innovation in SMEs. The study concludes with a comprehensive discussion of the research limitations, and provides suggestions for future research.
