“…Similar results were reported by Leary and Roberts (2013), who showed that less successful firms are highly sensitive to their larger and more successful peers. Gonchar and Marek (2014) demonstrated that, in the case of Russian companies, those who are following an internationalisation strategy experience positive learning effects compared to their peers, as well as benefits from relational capital and networking capabilities (Bykova and Jardon, 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of the contribution made by intellectual capital (IC) to company performance at company and industry levels in the Russian context. It examines the performance effect of IC using a multilevel approach. Design/methodology/approach The study combines the resource- and industry-based view. It decomposes performance determinants into two levels of analysis in such a way that it is assumed that IC at industry and company levels has a significant simultaneous impact on company performance. The empirical part of the study uses a database of 1,096 Russian public companies, covering the period of 2004–2014 and divided into 19 industries. The econometric methodology uses hierarchical linear models to estimate the effect of IC in the different levels of analysis. Findings The study confirms that the strength of the performance effect of IC is contingent on the industry. Furthermore, the study reveals that industry-level endowment with regard to intangibles contributes more to company performance in comparison with a company-level endowment, in the context of the transitional economy. Originality/value The study proposes a novel methodological approach to the performance effect of IC in the Russian context, studying the differences between industry and company effect. The study provides insights to better understand the importance of the politics of IC at the different levels (industry and company) and presents a new empirical enquiry into strategic behaviour regarding IC in Russia.

“…For example, environmental flexibility involves recognizing critical case incidents or rare case reporting protocols (Kaplan et al , 2013); this equips HCUs to increase their conceptual knowledge on cause-effect relationship of outside events on intended outcomes. Therefore, environmental flexibility together with task flexibility equips HCUs in absorptive and adaptive capabilities (Bykova et al , 2018) to handle technology and customer-specific variability arising out of raised dynamism due to new practice implementation in health-care services.…”

Purpose Organizations learn semi-automatically through experience or consciously through deliberate learning efforts. As there seems to be a “black-box” in the possible linkages between deliberate learning and new practice implementation, this paper aims to develop and test a process model, linking deliberate learning and new practice implementation through complementary competencies of task and environmental flexibility. Design/methodology/approach As part of a field study, health-care improvement program (to transfer the improvement training program for new practice implementation) of 186 HCUs was used for testing our hypothesis. In addition to descriptive statistics, multiple hierarchical regressions and bootstrapping were used to test the study hypotheses. Findings Findings suggest that deliberate learning is positively and significantly related with new practice implementation, and dynamic capabilities in the form of task and environmental flexibility mediates this relationship. Research limitations/implications The present study makes theoretical and practical contributions by linking literature from new practice, organizational learning and dynamic capabilities; and by delving into the deliberate learning activities undertaken by health-care units. Originality/value Organizational learning in health care has almost become inevitable today due to the ever-changing dynamics of the industry. Barring handful of studies, the current state of literature is almost entirely tilted towards experience-based learning and deliberate learning is not well studied. To address this gap, the study aims to develop and test a process model linking development of dynamic capabilities with deliberate learning and new practice implementation. Further, findings of this study will help organizations and managers to understand and thereby effectively manage new practice implementation process through the use of deliberate activities.

“…For this reason, companies require new and dynamic capabilities integrated into knowledge processes, such as accumulation, acquisition, integration, use, reconfiguration and transformation (Bykova & Jardon, 2018;Kodama, 2018;Piening & Salge, 2015), which overcome daily rigidities and allow new organizational routines to be acquired, integrated and recombined to generate novel value creation strategies (Bettiol et al, 2020;Ermine, 2018;North & Kumta, 2018;Singh et al, 2020).…”

“…These capabilities represent the exploitation of the potentiality of organizational knowledge, requires companies to introduce planned strategies for the collection, systematic documentation of ideas, contributions from their employees and corporate experience. In any case, developing ICs aims to create and strengthen new intra-and inter-organizational learning systems (Bogodistov et al, 2017;Bykova & Jardon, 2018;Kodama, 2018;Newell, 2015;Piening & Salge, 2015).…”

“…One of the constant concerns of business organizations is to evaluate the results with respect to the resources that companies allocate to innovation activities and analyze the level of effectiveness and efficiency of their use (Bykova & Jardon, 2018;OECD & Eurostat, 2018;Singh et al, 2020). Therefore, evaluating the effects that KM and ICs have on product quality, customer satisfaction or financial performance is one of the constant concerns of business organizations (Chen et al, 2018;Zaim et al, 2019).…”
