The aim of the company to register its shares in the stock exchange is to get additional funds from investors so that the business continues to grow. The company's financial performance is a factor that is highly considered by investors, but what if the information is not quality based on the audit results from the auditor? This study aims to determine investor reactions to financial performance information and audit quality. The uniqueness of this research is the 2x2 method between financial performance and quality audit so that this study can produce information about how 1) investor reaction to high financial performance with high audit quality, 2) investor reaction to high financial performance but low audit quality, 3) investor reaction to low financial performance with high audit quality, 4) investor reaction to low financial performance with low audit quality. The results showed that investors only react to high financial performance but low audit quality with negative react, it shows that investors are concerned about audit procedures in assessing the company's financial performance. High company performance but has a low audit quality makes investors pay more attention to the company because the good value is actually considered to be detrimental to investors because of its doubtful quality.

“…For example, dynamic capabilities are seen as higher-order capabilities [ 8 , 9 ]; as referring to the category of routine [ 10 , 11 ]; or, in general, are seen as supporting activities aimed at deliberately reconfiguring the resource base [ 12 – 14 ]. The discussion on dynamic capabilities focuses more on what dynamic capabilities are [ 6 , 15 – 21 ], and how they differ from operational capabilities [ 22 – 26 ], than on the question of how they are developed [ 7 , 27 , 28 ].…”

The process of developing dynamic capabilities: The conceptualization attempt and the results of empirical studies

et al. 2021

While most researchers interested in the concept of dynamic capabilities focus their attention on analyzing how companies transform their resources to compete in their environment, the process of developing dynamic capabilities is treated as a marginal issue. Although the literature suggests various approaches to developing dynamic capabilities, they are formulated in general terms, and doubts can be raised about the links between actions. There is also a lack of empirical research indicating the links between activities in the process of developing dynamic capabilities and their influence on the effectiveness of an organization. The aim of the study is to formulate a proposal for a model of the process of developing dynamic capabilities aimed at increasing the economic effectiveness of a company and to determine the links between the activities in the model. The theoretical contribution of the paper consists in presenting a model of the process of developing dynamic capabilities aimed at increasing the economic effectiveness of the company. The results presented in the paper refer to an empirical examination of the model of developing dynamic capabilities, covering five activities: searching for opportunities; knowledge management and learning; coordination; configuration and reconfiguration; and organizational adaptation. The study also includes an examination of the possible impact the components of the dynamic capabilities building process have on a company’s performance. The study uses the survey method and data was obtained from top managers. The conclusion, based on data from 471 Polish companies, was made using structural equation modelling. The results of the empirical research suggest that the individual activities in the process of developing dynamic capabilities are interconnected, and through mutual interactions and couplings, they positively affect the economic effectiveness of an enterprise. The results indicate that searching for opportunities is the precursor, and the main factor influencing the other activities in the process, which suggests that managers should focus on improving activities in this area.

“…Industry munificence refers to the abundance and availability of external resources that the environment can provide to support organizational development (Aldrich, 2008;Yu et al, 2018). It measures the extent to which the environment can support sustained growth.…”

PurposeNowadays, an increasing number of firms choose to develop proprietary software, instead of buying packaged software. What factors will affect different types of software investments? According to the environment-strategy alignment research, environment should be an influential factor. However, environment's role has received scarce attention in the literature. The authors' study addresses this research gap by investigating how industry environment affects different types of software investments. The study identifies three types of software investments (software insourcing, outsourcing, and buying) and examines how the characteristics of the industry environment (including industry munificence, dynamism, and concentration) influence each software investment.Design/methodology/approachThe generalized least squares (GLS) model and the ordinary least squares with panel-corrected standard errors (OLS-PCSE) model are applied to test the hypotheses, based on industry-level panel data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).FindingsThe analysis shows that industry munificence, dynamism, and concentration have different impacts on software insourcing, outsourcing, and buying, respectively.Originality/valueThis study classifies software investment into three types – software insourcing, outsourcing, and buying and investigates how the industry environment affects them. The findings suggest that research should distinguish among software insourcing, outsourcing, and buying due to their different characteristics.
