In age of sustainable development, strategic innovations have become the most important factor in the adaptation of national economies to dynamic global changes, encompassing trade and economic relations between the leading and developing countries of the World. At the same time, the task of this study was to reveal the complex and contradictory role of strategic innovations in the development of national economies against the background of the transformation of global value chains (GVCs). Main methods for solving the problem were empirical methods of comparative and structural analysis, as well as econometrics. The study analyzed 44 countries classified by the World Bank in the group of countries with per capita incomes below and above the average, as well as with high income. Results of the calculations made it possible to establish a highly differentiated relationship between the share of products manufactured by foreign companies operating in the host countries, on the one hand, and indicators of the dynamics of foreign direct investment (the number of researchers engaged in R&D, the number of technical specialists involved in research and development (R&D), the cost of research and development in the territory of the host countries), on the other hand. This made it possible to determine the role of strategic innovation in the adaptation of national economies. The established dependencies expand the understanding of the role of strategic innovations in the formation and further development of global value chains and their significance in evolution: from process and product innovations of individual companies to the formation of global innovation ecosystems.

“…Researchers believe that organizational resilience must be viewed as a subterm, comparable to the holistic perspective of sustainability [59]. There are also several studies that show a moderating effect of organizational resilience [77][78][79]. Accordingly, the following hypotheses are suggested: Hypothesis 4a (H4a).…”

Sustainability is a must for all businesses in all industries. It can boost company image and productivity while being aligned with customer needs. On the other hand, digital transformation (DT) is vital for business environments, and organizations need to be resilient in the face of crises such as COVID-19. The main objective of our study is to figure out how DT and organizational resilience might help businesses become more sustainable. This study presents a model that explains social, environmental, and economic sustainability considering the domains of DT and organizational resilience. Our model is evaluated on the data gathered by 208 c-suite leaders from various Iranian companies. The model was empirically validated through a quantitative method of Partial Least Squares/Structural Equation Modeling (PLS/SEM) technique. The findings reveal that the five studied factors have substantial impact on the sustainability of Iranian organizations including data-driven, business process innovation, customer engagement, organizational resilience, and competitive advantages.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises are one of the drivers of national economic growth, because of their ability to absorb workers equal to 95% with a total investment of 60.4%. This study aims to examine the effect of capital capability, empowerment, and product innovation on the competitiveness of micro, small and medium enterprises. And the role of product innovation as a mediating variable in the indirect influence between the coaching program and capital on the competitiveness of micro, small and medium enterprises in Aceh. Study designs a Quantitative Research. This research was conducted on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The population in this study were micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The research sample was determined by purposive sampling, with a sample size of 272 SMEs. While the data analysis tool usesStructural Equation Modeling (SEM) Amos to test the effect between exogenous variables and endogenous variables. Pdirect effect test found that capital has no effect on product innovation by -0.035, P-Value 0.754 (Not supported H1). Empowerment has a significant effect on product innovation by 0.249, p-value 0.030 (Supported H2). Capital has a significant effect on the competitiveness of SMEs by 0.220, p-vale 0.014 (Supported H3). Empowerment has a significant effect on MSME competitiveness by 0.542, and p-value 0.000 (Supported H4), and product innovation has a significant effect on MSME competitiveness by 0.274 and p-value 0.000 (supported H5). To test the indirect effect using the Sobel test calculator, it was found that product innovation variables were able to partially mediate the relationship between capital and empowerment on the competitiveness of SMEs. The results of the study indicate that the Empowerment and Product Innovation variables have a significant effect on the competitiveness of MSMEs both directly and indirectly, except for the Capital variable which is found to be insignificant to Product Innovation. Finally, the researcher concludes that the competitiveness of micro, small and medium enterprises in Aceh is determined by the factors of capital capability, empowerment program and product innovation.
