“…Organizations require dynamic capabilities, such as absorptive capacity, to keep up with the rapidly changing environment ( Cohen and Levinthal, 1990 ; Martinez-Sanchez and Lahoz-Leo, 2018 ). The literature on innovation identifies a firm’s absorptive capacity as the main factor driving innovation ( Ali and Park, 2016 ; Ali et al, 2020 ). Earlier research has established that adopting innovative practices in manufacturing or service contexts requires a firm’s capacity to acquire, transmit, and apply internal and external knowledge ( Tseng and Hung, 2011 ).…”

“… Ali et al (2016) discover a favorable relationship between a firm’s innovativeness and overall sustainable performance. Further, Rajapathirana and Yui (2018) found a positive correlation between the innovativeness of SMEs and their overall performance ( Ali et al, 2020 ). However, scholars argue that organizations are more focused on the economic element than social and environmental ( Asadi et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In the first stage, items were used to generate the latent variables of cognitive, normative, and regulatory institutions. In the second stage, the latent variables of the three first‐order constructs served as manifest variables for the institutional entrepreneurial environment in a separate second‐stage analysis (Ali et al, 2019; Ali, Ali, Grigore, et al, 2020; Ali, Ali, Salam, et al, 2020; Khan et al, 2018; Razzaq et al, 2019). The assessment of the institutional entrepreneurial environment as a second‐order construct was also confirmed, as it had a positive correlational weight (0.86 cognitive institutions, 0.78 normative institutions, and 0.84 regulatory institutions) and was significant at the 0.001 level (Khan et al, 2018; Razzaq et al, 2019; Sarstedt et al, 2019).…”

“…PLS‐SEM is an appropriate analytical procedure for using composite indicators. It involves testing the complex behavior among the constructs and thus can be used for prediction‐oriented research as well as focusing on the exploratory nature of the research objectives and theory development (Ali, 2021; Ali, Ali, Salam, et al, 2020; Latan, 2018; Shujahat et al, 2020). PLS‐SEM is also a suitable procedure for testing mediation, moderation, moderated mediation, and mediated moderation.…”
