“…However, there is still an interesting research issue in the social capital literature ( Aribi and Dupouët, 2015 ; García-Villaverde et al, 2018 ) about the reason for verifying the impact of knowledge acquisition and knowledge learning on the effect of the relational dimension of social capital. Social capital view has increasingly been applied in the interdisciplinary field, especially in management and education ( García-Villaverde et al, 2018 ). In the distinction of social capital dimensions, Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) have divided them into relational, cognitive, and structural dimensions.…”

The combination of external new knowledge and organizational capability has become a cornerstone in the internationalized enterprises. Sources of knowledge acquisition are among the most valuable resources that an internationalized firm can achieve competitive advantage. This study aims to explore this phenomenon between knowledge sources and competitive advantage in the context of internationalized small and medium enterprises (SMEs) mainly by a quantitative approach. Based on contextual nature of resource–capability–competitive, absorptive capacity has long been a critical construct in organizational studies, as well as referring relational embeddedness as potential drivers of absorptive capacity, which is moderated by learning orientation. This study also investigates the mediating effect of absorptive capacity in terms of knowledge absorption and integration on international competitive advantage. To gain insights and provide essential implications for internationalized SMEs from the global economy, this study adopted purposive sampling to collect 211 valid responses. Via the partial least-squares structural modeling, the relationships among relational embeddedness, potential and realized absorptive capacity, and competitive advantage were measured. The results suggest that relational embeddedness positively influences potential and realized absorptive capacity with moderating effect of learning orientation. Potential and realized absorptive capacities have full mediating effect between relational embeddedness and competitive advantage. This study concludes insights and implications for research and practice.

“…Relational network's influence on main effect RN can often be measured in terms of relational intensity, i.e. the intensity of relation closeness of SN members [19]. In our study, the moderation of RN on the DC-AM relation can be both positive and negative.…”

The investigation of organization's ambidexterity is a challenge in the researches of management sciences. As existent literature showed a positive relation between dynamic capability and innovation, few empirical studies are conducted to explain how dynamic capability impacts on the balanced and combined dimension of ambidexterity, and still less on how social network moderates this relation. By a relational model of dynamic capability, ambidexterity, and social network, this study has conducted multiple regression analysis on the data collected from 350 SMEs in mainland China. The results show that, dynamic capability has positive influence on both the combined and balanced dimension of ambidexterity; and both the relational network and structural network play an inverted U moderating role, where the moderation of relational network is stronger than that of structural network. This study provides empirical support on dynamic capability's influence on ambidexterity together with the moderation of social network.

“…Various types of dynamism exist, for example, technological dynamism and market dynamism (McKelvie et al, 2018). Rodrigo-Alarc on et al (2017) emphasise that technological dynamism refers to the perception of fast changes in the technological development of the industry in which the company is immersed, with an increase in competitor's products (García-Villaverde et al, 2018). Market dynamism, on the other hand, refers to the degree of change in the preferences for products and services, needs of the clients and the composition of customers (Rodrigo-Alarc on et al, 2017).…”

Purpose The environment has become increasingly dynamic, characterised by hyper turbulence and high-velocity. While research has confirmed the influence of leadership on the effectiveness of change, the author knows less about how increased environmental dynamism influences the relationship. This study aims to investigate how this relationship is impacted under highly uncertain and dynamic external conditions. Design/methodology/approach To investigate the moderating effect of environmental dynamism on leadership practices and employees’ response to change, 1,536 employees’ survey responses were analysed from various organisations in South Africa. Moderator regression models were used to examine relationships. Findings Environmental dynamism has a slight significant strengthening effect on the relationship between leadership practices and response to change, with regard to commitment to the change; efficacy, that is, the belief in whether the change will lead to the efficacy of the organisation; and valence or attractiveness of the change. However, no significant positive moderator effect on the impact of leadership practices on active support for change. Tenure as control variable also did not have a significant influence on the model. Practical implications Organisations must take note that under dynamic conditions: employees’ belief about the efficacy of change is influenced by leadership practices, but not the active support for the change. Leadership must, thus, check whether employees’ positive responses are indeed going over in action to implement change. Originality/value This study contributes an important moderator effect: the more dynamic the environment, the greater the impact leadership practices have on employee response to change.
