“…However, the finding of H3 indicates that when EO is not included in the test, so it only compares the difference between the BD and CD strategies with performance, the CD strategy contributes more to FP. These results lead to the paradoxical phenomenon indicated by a recent literature study by Indarti et al (2019) on the absorptive capacity of SMEs in a developing country's context. They state that organizational practices/routines within SMEs have a tendency to not completely follow the logical lines of commonly-known organizational theories.…”

“…The creative industries, which are mainly found in the fashion industry in Indonesia, are one of the main engines of economic growth in the country (Felaza, 2015;Norsyaqinah, 2015;Indarti et al, 2019). Its unique culture and the local wisdom in Indonesia have made this country one of the prominent plaFelazayers in the world's fashion industry (Felaza, 2015).…”

Purpose This study aims to provide empirical findings of the extent to which the ambidexterity found in innovation and social networks will mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and firm performance (FP). This study also compares the ambidextrous strategy between the balanced dimension (BD) and combined dimension (CD) and examines their contribution to the small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs’) performance. Design/methodology/approach The current study used an explanatory research design by surveying a total of 205 fashion firms’ owners/managers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Path analysis with mediating tests and independent t-tests were used. Findings The results revealed that innovation and social network ambidexterity mediate the relationship between EO and the SMEs’ performance. One ambidextrous strategy, the BD strategy, is superior to the CD one. The study makes an interesting discovery: the CD strategy apparently dominates FP when EO does not exist. Practical implications The study suggests that no ambidextrous strategy (i.e. BD and CD) used by the SMEs can fit all situations. In detail, the study provides four different strategies for SMEs to build organizational ambidexterity, namely, innovate and sustain; elevate; expand; and collaborate and survive. It is also suggested that the SMEs consider two main principles when dealing with an ambidextrous strategy, “anything that is too much is not always good” and “one size does not fit all.” By doing so, the SMEs are expected to be able to use internal and external resources and choose the most appropriate ambidextrous strategy to respond to the relevant situation (e.g. the changes of consumer behavior due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Originality/value Using a dynamic capability approach by integrating two perspectives, i.e. the internal (resource-based theory) and external (resource-dependency theory) perspectives, makes the study relevant and valuable to better understand the role and type of ambidexterity among SMEs as a mediating factor between EO and FP. This paper breaks new ground by confirming a paradoxical phenomenon concerning organizational ambidextrous practices within SMEs. Additionally, four strategies for ambidextrous were developed to respond to the anomaly.

“…Despite this potential, IC research to date has often neglected the micro-foundations of AC within organizations (Indarti et al, 2019). Consequently, Ahmed et al (2020, p. 35) identified the need for future research that "could examine these ideas on longitudinal grounds to determine the performance of intangible assets with relation to the capabilities of knowledge acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation".…”

PurposePrevious studies have argued that improvement in organizational performance though change management processes is grounded in external knowledge acquisition and assimilation. However, there is ambiguity in how existing knowledge, in the form of intellectual capital (IC), is mobilized in this context. In response, this paper develops a context-based mediator model depicting the relationship between IC processes, absorptive capacity (AC) and organizational performance following the introduction of external knowledge.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative longitudinal case study approach is adopted, collecting data over three phases of a quality improvement program over a three-year period.FindingsWith the development of relational capital facilitated thorough changes in the work environment and the structured enhancement of knowledge-processing capabilities, the study identified the mediating role of AC on the relationship between IC mobilization and improved organizational performance.Originality/valueWhilst there have been studies of relationships between IC and organization performance, to the best of the “authors” knowledge, this is one the few empirical studies to explore associations between IC types, existing knowledge sharing processes and IC mobilization, mediated by the AC of a firm, to exploit external knowledge.
