“…This seems to be logical given that the ability of an organization to modify/update its strategies, deployment of resources, and coordination of these resources provides the opportunities to effectively manage resources according to the changed conditions to obtain operational efficiency, productivity, growth, and competitive advantage. This result supports the findings of previous empirical studies under other contexts (J. Li et al, 2018; Nadkarni & Herrmann, 2010; Wang et al, 2021).…”

“…Strategic flexibility can be deemed as an important dynamic organizational capability that helps organizations to utilize the full potential of their flexible management skills and resources and consequently enhances OP in uncertain conditions (J. Li et al, 2018). This makes the organizations more proactive to exploit emerging opportunities, reduce risks and costs, and enhance growth and profit in fluctuating and changing business environments.…”

Strategic flexibility is deemed to be an important organizational capability for enhancing innovation and improving organizational performance (OP) in uncertain, turbulent, and ever-changing business environments. Many studies have investigated the impact of strategic flexibility on innovation and OP in various contexts and found that strategic flexibility enhances innovation and improves OP. Other studies have found negative association or no association between strategic flexibility and OP. Therefore, it is not much clear whether strategic flexibility improves OP directly or through innovation. Especially, the mediating role of innovation in the association between strategic flexibility and OP in engineering project-based organizations has not been fully grabbed in prior literature and Pakistan remained unexplored. This study has strived to examine the mediating role of innovation in the association between strategic flexibility and OP in this context. Drawing upon resource based and dynamic capability views, an explanatory model was developed and tested by applying PLS-SEM higher order component modeling approach using sample data from 184 organizations in Pakistan. The results revealed that strategic flexibility is positively associated with innovation and OP. Innovation is positively associated with OP. The association between strategic flexibility and OP is partially mediated by innovation. The study promotes academic rigor and provides a new theoretical model. Mangers, decision-makers, and policy-makers can utilize the results to update their plans to achieve sustainable OP. The other organizations in various countries operating under similar conditions can also take the advantage of this study.

The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector plays a significant role in any economy, particularly in a competitive global business environment. However, the SMEs sector could achieve its targets only if it embraced proven strategic management practices. Therefore, this study investigates the mediating role of strategic flexibility on the relationship between strategic planning and firm performance within the context of SMEs in Saudi Arabia. The resource-based view and contingency theories support the study's framework and conclusions. A cross-sectional survey was used to collect the primary data from a sample of 400 owners and managers of medium-sized enterprises in Saudi Arabia. Hypotheses were tested using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The study tested the correlation and mediation analysis using PLS-SEM. The study found a significant relationship between strategic planning and firm performance. Also, there is a relationship between strategic planning and strategic flexibility. The association between strategic flexibility and firm performance is also significant for medium enterprises in Saudi Arabia. The results also revealed that strategic flexibility mediates the relationship between strategic planning and firm performance. The study's finding contributes to the planning-

Building technological capability (TC) is a long-term process that must be planned carefully to achieve the desired results. Therefore, companies should increase their effort to maintain technological interactions with other companies and gain competitive advantages. This study aims to review the literature in the field of TC and provide a conceptual framework that highlights the relationship among TC, competitive advantage and manufacturing performance. After reviewing the literature, the researcher found that TC plays an important role in achieving competitive advantage for any company and improving the performance of companies. In addition, most previous studies have focused on TC in manufacturing companies probably due to the fact that manufacturing is currently an extremely important industry in the economy of most countries. TC strongly participates in the production and operation sectors, which are the cornerstones of every manufacturing company. Focusing on TC will play a role in developing the performance of manufacturing companies while gaining competitive advantages and maintaining commercial success in domestic and international markets.
