“…The dynamic aspects of the competence-based approach covered by the dynamic capabilities approach (e.g., Cepeda and Vera, 2007;Teece, 2007) shift the focus of analyzis to the study of the processes of knowledge accumulation to obtain innovation performance, as there seems to be some consensus in the literature that innovation is an outcome of new knowledge (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990;Kim et al, 2012;Tödtling et al, 2009). However, the literature identifying the key aspects to develop innovation performance based on knowledge accumulation capabilities (Jiménez-Jiménez and Sanz-Valle, 2011) requires additional conceptual and empirical research (Kim et al, 2012;van Wijk et al, 2008).…”

HIGHLIGHTSØ Incremental innovation performance is positively affected by internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability.Ø Absorptive capability affects radical innovation performance positively.Ø Size has a direct positive effect on incremental innovation performance.Ø Size has a direct positive effect on internal knowledge creation capability. HOW DOES ORGANIZATIONAL SIZE IMPACT ON KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION CAPABILITIES AND INCREMENTAL VERSUS RADICAL INNOVATION PERFORMANCE?ABSTRACT While prior studies recognise the importance of knowledge accumulation capabilities in innovation performance, current research has still failed to empirically identify its role with regard to different types of innovation performance. The objective of this paper is to address this knowledge gap and to explore the relationships between internal knowledge creation and absorptive capabilities, and radical and incremental innovation performance. The study also contributes to analyzing the complex effect that organizational size has in the whole innovation process, influencing its antecedents (internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability) as well as its outputs (incremental and radical innovation performance), as the literature has produced inconsistent results and the issue is subject to continuing debate. This study demonstrates that incremental innovation performance is positively affected by both knowledge accumulation capabilities and size. However, results show that only absorptive capability has a positive direct effect on radical innovation performance, whereas size has a negative non-significant effect on it. The effect of size on knowledge accumulation capabilities also turns out to be mixed. It appears to increase internal knowledge creation capability, but it does not affect the absorption of new external knowledge, and thus does not help to develop radical innovations.

“…There are two levels of capabilities: ordinary and dynamic (Winter 2003). In comparison to operational and other ordinary capabilities that are important for the firm's current activities, dynamic capabilities enable a change of resources and ordinary capabilities (Cepeda and Vera 2007). Hence, dynamic capabilities use the existing resources and create new resources and capabilities, aligning the organisation to the change in the environment.…”

Abstract:The aim of this research was to explore one of the most intriguing dimensions of every firm's business-its performance. Aside from analysing the influence of industry's characteristics on the firm's performance, the authors addressed the characteristics of dynamic capabilities and their role in contribution to the firm's ultimate success. The analysis was conducted on a sample of 118 small Croatian manufacturing companies. The application of the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach revealed a statistically significant influence of both the industry's characteristics (represented by Porter's five forces framework) and dynamic capabilities (based on Teece's theory) on the firm's performance, where the influence of dynamic capabilities is proven to be larger than that of the industry.

“…Whilst service maintenance includes operational and dynamic capabilities, it is the dynamic capabilities that are of relevance in this study. They enable the firm to change, adapt, integrate and reconfigure resources and operational capabilities (Cepeda and Vera, 2007;Saeedi, Dadfar and Brege, 2014;Zahra, Sapienza and Davidsson 2006). Dynamic capabilities have been further portrayed as being innovative, adaptive or absorptive.…”

Design/methodology/approachWe examine the choice of in-house operations versus buying maintenance in the Swedish mining industry through a qualitative case study approach. FindingsThe findings reveal a strong tendency to outsource maintenance. Research limitations/implicationsThis in turn has a strong influence on the firm's capabilities and long-term competitive advantage and sustainability. Practical implicationsBased on the empirical findings, we comment on the strength and weaknesses of the different outsourcing and attempt to find practical solutions that assist the firm in creating competitive advantage. Originality/valueThe unique contribution of this study is that it extends prior firm capabilities studies by investigating the impact of capability loss specifically in complex, intricate maintenance processes in a dynamic industry.3
