“…Dynamism can be regarded as the unpredictability on the demand side, heterogeneity as the uncertainty on the supply side, and hostility as the variability regarding longer‐term trends in the industry (Xue, Ray and Gu, ). While these external environmental conditions differ significantly, they are suggested to be significant influencers of a firm's BDAC and the derived competitive performance.…”

With big data analytics growing rapidly in popularity, academics and practitioners have been considering the means through which they can incorporate the shifts these technologies bring into their competitive strategies. Drawing on the resource‐based view, the dynamic capabilities view, and on recent literature on big data analytics, this study examines the indirect relationship between a big data analytics capability (BDAC) and two types of innovation capabilities: incremental and radical. 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 incremental and radical innovation capabilities. To test their proposed research model, the authors used survey data from 175 chief information officers and IT managers working in Greek firms. By means of partial least squares structural equation modelling, the results confirm the authors’ assumptions regarding the indirect effect that BDACs have on innovation capabilities. Specifically, they find that dynamic capabilities fully mediate the effect on both incremental and radical innovation capabilities. In addition, under conditions of high environmental heterogeneity, the impact of BDACs on dynamic capabilities and, in sequence, incremental innovation capability is enhanced, while under conditions of high environmental dynamism the effect of dynamic capabilities on incremental innovation capabilities is amplified.

The rise of e‐commerce over the past 20 years has created an increased need for responsive omnichannel distribution to meet the last mile challenge. Some companies are experimenting with the use of the sharing economy business model to augment distribution strategies. The use of so‐called “Crowdsourced Logistics” (CSL) is becoming more prevalent in practice, but the role in logistics strategy of this new phenomenon has not been thoroughly investigated and understood. Using a contingency theory lens, this research contributes a nascent understanding of how CSL performs in terms of logistics effectiveness by simulating same‐day delivery services from a distribution center to 1,000 customer locations throughout New York City under dynamic market conditions and by comparing the results to those of a traditional dedicated fleet of delivery drivers. The findings are analyzed to suggest how firms may find strategic benefit using CSL. An agenda for future research is provided to explore these strategic implications and to deepen knowledge about the CSL phenomenon.

“…We expected high multicollinearity between the square term (HSN Cohesion*HSN Cohesion) and the corresponding singular variable (HSN Cohesion) in our model. To correct for this problem, we used the residual‐centring approach (Lance, ; Xue, Ray, & Gu, ). In this approach, the square term is regressed on the corresponding singular term, and the residuals from this regression are used as the values of the square term in our generalised estimating equations model used for hypotheses testing.…”

We investigate the impact of cohesion versus structural holes in two different types of knowledge networks-helpseeking networks and voluntary contribution networks-on adaptation to health IT-enabled patient-care practices. In a multimethod study conducted within a large hospital system, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 806 clinicians working with electronic medical record sys-
