“…Because today's business environment is fast-paced and uncertain, from the standpoint of contingency, corporate organizations should be able to adapt society's expectations and respond to changes in globalization and rapid technological advances [15,19,20]. Therefore, it is proven that CFP has a mediating effect on the relationship between CR and CSR and structuring it is an essential academic contribution to this study.…”

Although many companies are aware of the importance of sustainability and CSR, they still focus on profits without considering sustainable development. This study explores the relationships among corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate reputation (CR) and corporate financial performance (CFP), by testing the mediating effect of CFP and constructing an integrated sustainability model based on the CSR perspective and stakeholder theory. Although many recent studies have investigated CSR using structural equation modeling to test the relationships among the three variables, measuring this mediation effect is quite rare in the literature. We use Reputation Institute as a secondary data source of CSR and CR and collect data for the period 2011-2017 on 39 companies in 15 countries (i.e., 273 observations). Firm size, sales growth rate, interest coverage ratio, age and industry are the control variables. Our results show that CR positively affects CFP and CSR. Furthermore, we find integrated approaches for business sustainability, revealing that CFP enhances CSR and also that it has a mediating effect on the relationship between CR and CSR.

“…A large portion of value created in new products/services is created outside a particular firm's boundary (Tushman, 2004;Lee and Yang, 2014.). These ties involve linkages with other parties to establish an integrative and collaborative value network (Bucic 9 and Ngo, 2012; Vanhaverbeke, 2006;Vanhaverbeke and Cloodt, 2006).…”

Does open innovation apply to China? Exploring the contingent role of external knowledge sources and internal absorptive capacity in Chinese large firms and SMEs

While 'open innovation' is often considered to be an organisational strategy with universal application, the generalisability of this set of arrangements to organisations operating within emerging economies has yet to be fully explored. This study provides empirical evidence of its importance within a substantial sample of Chinese large firms and SMEs. Using Tobit regression analysis, our findings indicate that external knowledge sources from inter-firm networking are more important in creating the benefits of open innovation for Chinese SMEs than their larger peers. Linkages to university and research institutes generally have few direct effects on the innovation performance of both large and small firms in China. However, the role of universities and research institutes is shown to be important among our large firm sample when combined with evident internal absorptive capacity. This interaction is generally limited to our large firm sample, and is not as evident among small firms. Our study indicates that the barriers to the adoption of open innovation by Chinese firms might be largely related to the comparatively weak domestic research expertise and limited organisational absorptive capabilities, with this most particularly evident for SMEs.These findings suggest that, based on this evidence, there is no need for emerging economies like China to mimic the emergence path from closed to open innovation followed by developed countries. Chinese firms will be more likely to garner the benefits available from openness when they develop the capabilities required to identify, assimilate and commercialise knowledge and technologies obtained from external sources.

“…Three of our featured articles look at contextual factors and underlying mechanisms of dynamic capabilities and its antecedents (Lu & Fang, 2013;Frigotto & Zamarian, 2015;Deng, Liu, Gallagher, & Wu, 2018). Another three articles look particularly at the role of networks in the context of dynamically capable organizations (Agarwal & Selen, 2013;Lee & Yang, 2014;Zou, Guo, & Guo, 2017). Noteworthy, most of these studies utilize emerging markets to look at empirical evidence for their arguments.…”
