Dynamic capabilities in the “new normal”: a study of organizational flexibility, integration and agility in the Peruvian coffee supply chain

“…Increasing the OF is particularly critical in the coffee industry, where supply chains are characterized by several complex operations that involve interaction between a heterogeneous group of actors (farmers, processors, distributors, retailers) from different countries (developed and developing) and so flexibility is required to manage any potential process misalignment that might occur (Beske et al , 2014; Cheng et al , 2014; Mandal, 2017; Stone and Rahimifard, 2018). To maintain agri-food supply chains’ solvency is a priority and the successful adoption of agile practices is born out of the adaptability of organizations in the supply chain (Liu et al , 2019; Zhao et al , 2020). This is even more important when disruptive events (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) occur: if agri-food manufacturers, intermediaries and retailers do not have the ability to reconfigure themselves following environmental changes, the possibility of reaching the desired SCA level might be inhibited (Hobbs and Young, 2000; Sharma et al , 2020).…”

“…Although OF can be seen as one of the strategic capabilities that companies can improve in response to higher SCI, we also discussed that OF has been noted as one of the key drivers of agility (Gligor, 2014). Particularly in agri-food supply chains, where actors are often fragmented and heterogeneous and organizational changes are not easily implemented (Beske et al , 2014; Liu et al , 2019; Zhao et al , 2020; Kittichotsatsawat et al , 2021), possessing higher SCI capabilities can become a way to stimulate organizations to develop better OF which, in turn, provides them better capabilities to improve SCA.…”

A framework for the estimation of treatment costs of cardiovascular conditions in the presence of disease transition

“…Practicality dictates that the most important determinants of research methodology are often formulated research questions (Saunders et al, 2019 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ). The research questions posed in the current study required the authors to move sequentially from empirical findings to mathematical modeling, thus forming an appropriate basis for research approaches intervening in the world and not merely observing the world (Goldkuhl, 2012 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Practicality dictates that the most important determinants of research methodology are often formulated research questions (Saunders et al, 2019 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ). The research questions posed in the current study required the authors to move sequentially from empirical findings to mathematical modeling, thus forming an appropriate basis for research approaches intervening in the world and not merely observing the world (Goldkuhl, 2012 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ). Qualitative approaches have proven to be effective in gaining deep insights and diversified views of certain phenomena by probing experts (i.e., clinicians [in this case, a specific genre of medical professionals]) for their diversified views and understanding (Wellington & Szczerbinski, 2007 ).…”

Evaluating the impact of employees’ perception of identity threat on knowledge sharing behavior during COVID-19: The mediation and moderation effect of social capital and reward system

“…Among them, motivation can enhance members’ perceived benefits of knowledge contribution, which in turn drives knowledge sharing. In addition, not only knowledge sharing motivation will affect the sharing of knowledge and experience, but knowledge sharing opportunities will also enhance the occurrence of sharing behavior ( Foss and Pedersen, 2019 ; Ganguly et al, 2019 ; Zhao et al, 2021 ). Lilleoere and Hansen (2011) mentioned that members’ perception of sharing opportunities will affect knowledge sharing within the organization.…”
