“…Firm size is one of the most acknowledged determinants of a firm's performance in terms of its effects on competitive market power via R&D, advertising and exporting (Feng et al, 2017;Jacobs et al, 2016;Mu, 2017). Large firms accrue economic benefits as a result of their ability to exercise financial leverage, economies of scale and operational cost efficiency (Golovko et al, 2022;Peng et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2023). Accordingly, large firms have an advantage in global operations because of their competitive growth potential and profitability, and they are expected to generate greater synergistic interactions between R&D and advertising than small-sized enterprises (Tyagi and Nauriyal, 2017;Peng et al, 2018).…”

PurposeThis study aims to explore the dynamic interplay of key resources (i.e. research and development (R&D), advertising and exports) in affecting the performance of USA manufacturing firms. Specifically, the authors examine the dynamic impact of joint resources and predict differential effect scales contingent on firm capabilities.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents a combined multiple regression analysis (MRA)-multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network modeling and investigates the complex interlinkage of capabilities, resources and performance. As an innovative approach, the MRA-MLP model investigates the effect of capabilities under the combinatory deployment of joint resources.FindingsThis study finds that the impact of joint resources and synergistic rents is not uniform but rather distinctive according to the combinatory conditions and that the pattern is further shaped by firm capabilities. Accordingly, besides signifying the contingent aspect of capabilities across a range of resource combinations, the result also shows that managerial sophistication in adaptive resource control is more than a managerial ethos.Practical implicationsThe proposed analytic process provides scientific decision support tools with control mechanisms with respect to deploying multiple resources and setting actionable goals, thereby presenting pragmatic benchmarking options to industry managers.Originality/valueUsing the theoretical underpinnings of the resource-based view (RBV) and resource orchestration, this study advances knowledge about the complex interaction of key resources by presenting a salient analytic process. The empirical design, which portrays holistic interaction patterns, adds to the uniqueness of this study of the complex interlinkages between capabilities, resources and shareholder value.
