Environmental sustainability is the primary task of environmental entrepreneurship by critically handling increased institutional, customer, and environmental pressures.Green entrepreneurship orientation (GEO) seeks to harmonize their relationships with the external environment to foster the impact of green innovation performance (GIP) on environmental performance (EP). Drawing upon the natural resource-based view and dynamic capability theory, the study examines the effect of GEO on GIP and EP. Additionally, the moderating effect of managerial environmental concerns (MEC) on this relationship is also inspected. The results revealed that green absorptive capacity (GAC), environmental cooperation (EC), and MEC significantly affect GEO. Furthermore, GEO positively influenced GIP and EP. Indeed, GEO partially mediates GAC, EC, and managerial concern's relationship on green innovation and EP. Additionally, MEC significantly moderates the relationship between GEO and EP. Firms GEO should adequately enhance green practices performance and EP to accommodate their external environment relationships. The study concluded that green innovation development shifts firms from environmental management to sustainable development. Theoretical and practical implications were also presented.
Learning and knowledge creation are acknowledged as crucial drivers associated with entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and innovation capability (IC). Absorptive capacity (AC) harmonizes internal innovation-building activities with external opportunities, while organizational learning capabilities (OLC) foster entrepreneurial cognitive skills and innovation capabilities. This study aims to (1) predict the impact of absorptive capacity and organizational learning on IC and (2) to estimate the mediation effect of OLC and AC on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and innovation capabilities. Drawing upon the dynamic capability theory, the study had applied a cross-sectional survey targeting Algerian firms to test the hypotheses. The study findings indicate that EO is positively associated with innovation capability. Besides, even though both OLC and AC partially increase EO’s interaction impact on innovation capability as a mediation role, suggesting that the more a firm is entrepreneurially oriented, the more learning and knowledge creation processes are involved in the interaction relationship. This study’s core focus is to overcome the substantial role of learning and knowledge creation processes as an intangible proactive resource that fosters the EO mindset to get involved in innovation activities. It has been discovered that AC and OLC as a connectedness mechanism links external knowledge and internal learning processes to accompany EO readiness during innovation development.
Establishing equilibrium between business growth and environmental sustainability is one of the core focuses of green entrepreneurship. However, the scarcity of resources, ecological concerns, business growth, and survival are among the issues that are recognized by entrepreneurs. In the light of the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) and Dynamic Capability View, this study aims to examine the effects of Green Innovation Performance (GIP) on Green Entrepreneurship Orientation (GEO) and Sustainability Environmental Performance (SEP). As advocated by NRBV, this study emphasizes the importance of pursuing the three types of distinct yet interrelated environmental strategies and its association impact on GEO. The results indicated that internal green dynamic capabilities, namely, green absorptive capacity, environmental cooperation, and managerial environmental concern to have significant positive effects on GIP, where GIP positively impacted GEO and SEP. Besides, GIP partially mediated the relationship between internal green dynamic capabilities on GEO and SEP. The results also demonstrated that environmental regulations significantly moderated the relationship between GEO and SEP. Furthermore, by linking these three concepts in a single model, this study theoretically pioneering and responding to bridge significant gaps emerged in the NRBV theory. This study provides crucial practical implications for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and academicians. Limitations were also discussed.
The purpose of this research is (1) to examine the integration impact of IT assets (e.g., intangible IT resources, IT capability, and IT flexibility) on core competency, and (2) to explore the mediating effect of core competency on the relationship between IT assets and sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), and (3) to determine whether IT flexibility strengthen the relationship between core competency and SCA. The study applied a quantitative and cross-sectional approach to collect data from 164 Malaysian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) targeting managers from the middle-to-upper level. The findings infer new insights regarding IT integration's critical role within core competency activities to achieve SCA. The results show that IT assets possess a positive and significant impact on core competency (CC), and CC positively impact SCA. Finally, CC partially mediates ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lahcene Makhloufi he holds a PhD in Technology, Operation & Logistics Management, College of Business, University Utara Malaysia.

IT personnel capabilities are regarded as the backbone of IS infrastructure and as the main top strategic issues among IT executives. The aim of this research is to explore the direct influence of Intangible IT Resources such as IT Knowledge Resources (ITKR), IT Relationship Resources (ITRR), and IT Governance (ITG) on Sustainable Competitive Advantages (SCA). The main question of this study is whether or not IT personnel capabilities are able to strengthen the relationship between VRIN resources such as (ITKR, ITRR, and ITG) and sustainable competitive advantages. Importantly, no published study has been examined this critical issue on how firms are able to generate VRIN resources that are the main driver of SCA. Thus, the objective of this research is to determine whether IT Personnel Capability has a direct and indirect effect (moderating role) in the relationship between intangible IT resources sustainable competitive advantages. This research will applies quantitative survey for collection data among IT senior managers of Algerian high-tech industry. Implications and suggestions will be discussed. Contribution/ Originality: This paper is one of the pioneer investigations in IT/IS studies which addressed the effect of IT personnel capability as a dynamic capability for strengthening firms intangible strategic resources (i.e. IT knowledge resources, IT governance, and IT relationship resources) to be valuable, rare, inimitable and nonsubstitutable (VRIN) for sustainable competitive advantages. 1. INTRODUCTION Successful leaders are more aware of IT benefits in managing such activities in an effective and efficient way at managerial and operational level. The effective and accurate diffusion of new IT-based business application offers considerable benefits where improve brand reputation to suit increasing customer perceptions, enhance cost flexibility, providing specific and accurate marketing channels, and thereby expanding business market penetration opportunities [1]. Due to the huge development in the era of ICT, a modern business based on IT-applications will enable firm's productivity, cost control, specific products based-customer needs, responsiveness flexibility, time delivery and hence this would lead to empowering an organization to maintain competitive advantages on long
