“…For the last 3 decades, opportunity recognition has become a key topic in the field of entrepreneurship (Donbesuur et al 2020;George et al 2016;Yang and Meyer 2019). However, there is little agreement on the accepted definition of opportunity recognition (Hulbert et al 2015).…”

“…These new dimensions include competitive aggressiveness and autonomy (e.g., Lumpkin and Dess 1996). All these features are considered vital for new business success (Jin et al 2017;Parida et al 2016;Yang and Meyer 2019). While, most studies in the context of emerging markets, have highlighted the first three dimensions of EO for competitive advantage and business success (Ma et al 2017;Su et al 2011;Zhao et al 2011).…”

“…Furthermore, discovering new opportunities is very crucial for newly born ventures in emerging economies. Proactiveness enables enterprises in exploiting new opportunities that result in satisfactory performance (Yang and Meyer 2019). Highly proactive ventures tend to achieve higher market returns and enjoy success in the industry by introducing new products and services before their competitors (Jalali et al 2014).…”

“…First, as mentioned earlier that little is known about the role of EO in opportunity recognition that results in the success of new ventures. There is ample evidence of the benefits of EO in new and matured ventures in both emerging and developed economies (Marom et al 2019;Jin et al 2017;Parida et al 2016;Yang and Meyer 2019). Research also highlights the advantages of opportunity recognition for enterprises (Guo et al 2019b;Gielnik et al 2012;Hamel 2012;Hansen et al 2011).…”

Entrepreneurial orientation and new venture performance in emerging markets: the mediating role of opportunity recognition

How entrepreneurial orientation facilitates the identification of new opportunities in newly established ventures in emerging economies remains largely unexplored. Approaching entrepreneurial orientation as a second order latent construct, we examined the mediating role of opportunity recognition on new venture performance. Using a survey data from 316 SMEs, the results of the analysis in SmartPLS highlights that entrepreneurial orientation indirectly contributes to the performance of new ventures, where the relationship is partially mediated by opportunity recognition. The findings show that firms with high entrepreneurial orientation can identify and exploit new opportunities as well as enjoy superior performance.

“…In a study of R&D alliances, Sampson [91] uses an analogous approach to measure alliance experience. In another recent study, Yang and Meyer [92] use a dummy variable where 1 represents firms that use alliances and 0 firms that do not. Moreover, the study by Rossmannek and Rank [93] uses dummy variables to control participation in alliances, tests for differences between distinguishing dummies and different types of alliances, or creates a dummy variable for participation or not in all types of alliances.…”

Competitiveness in the hotel sector and its effect on the environment involves integrating environmental issues in hotel management. Current environmental challenges often require firms to cope with contradictory processes. Ambidexterity is a firm’s capability to deal with conflicting demands and could be helpful in increasing a firm’s environmental management system (EMS) adoption. Furthermore, given the complexity of technological advances, environmental requirements demand inter-firm collaboration. The aim of this study is to further an understanding of how hotels can increase EMS adoption by providing a framework of the contributing effect of alliances and ambidexterity. Results from tests using logistic regression and bootstrapping techniques on a sample of 306 Spanish hotels confirm the importance of ambidexterity because of its positive and direct effect on EMS adoption, and because of the mediating effect, which helps transform the benefits of firms’ participation in strategic alliances into their adoption of EMS. This study contributes to the literature on ambidexterity by highlighting the importance for firms to develop this capability. It also contributes to a better understanding of the drivers of EMS adoption, introducing the integrated effect of hotel participation in alliances and ambidexterity. Hotel managers should endeavor to develop ambidexterity capability to facilitate EMS adoption.

Postformation alliance capabilities and environmental innovation: The roles of environmental in‐learning and relation‐specific investments

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper draws insights from the relational view perspective to examine the effects of two postformation alliance capabilities—interorganizational coordination and communication, and relation‐specific investments on small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises' (SMEs') environmental innovation. Analysis of time‐lagged survey data from a sample of 223 SMEs from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) shows a positive interactive effect of interorganizational coordination and communication on environmental innovation, and this relationship is mediated by environmental in‐learning. The results further indicate that relation‐specific investment moderates the indirect relationship between the complementary effect of interorganizational coordination and communication and environmental innovation. These findings extend the environmental innovation literature by exploring the interactive effect of interorganizational coordination and communication on environmental innovation.
