“…All in all, and as outlined before, whereas the emergence of opportunistic actions can be described through social capital, opportunism (or in our case perceived supplier opportunism) mediates the relation between social capital and innovation and strategic benefits, thus potentially outlining two sides of the same coin. As such, our findings nicely complement the research of Zhu et al (2017). 3As opposed to Wang et al (2013a) in the present sample structural capital did not reveal to be a good explanatory antecedent to opportunism.…”

“…Addressing this issue, in this case, adaptative capability plays an important role to improve marketing performance (Beal, 2000;Covin &Slevin, 1989;Keats &Hitts, 1998).

The research aims to empirically verify the role of adaptive capability in its contribution to marketing performance, with product innovation as a mediating variable. This research was conducted in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) located in Central Java, Indonesia. A number of 253 questionnaires were distributed and adequately filled. Statistical analysis was conducted by using structural equation modeling with Smart-Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results show that the adaptive capability was positively related to product innovation, but not significant to marketing performance. Furthermore, our findings show that product innovation had a significant effect on marketing performance and it fully mediated the relationship between adaptive capability and marketing performance. These findings offer implications regarding how adaptive capability enhance marketing performance through product innovation in SMEs.
