Digital strategy is one of the methods adopted by organizations to use digital technology to achieve business goals, improve performance, and enhance competitive advantage by significantly improving customer experience. Success in achieving competitive advantage requires implementing the digital strategy effectively. The study aims to determine the impact of adopting the digital strategy on the possession of competitive advantage with the moderating role of employee satisfaction in the Jordanian banking sector. Data were collected from 397 employees working in twelve Jordanian banks. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The results show that adopting digital strategy dimensions explains 55.6% of the variance of competitive advantage dimensions. Data, quality, and flexibility explain 45.8%, 44.8%, and 47.3% of the variance of competitive advantage, respectively. Also, the results show a positive impact of digital strategy dimensions (technologies, data, human resources, and operations) on competitive advantage dimensions (quality, flexibility, and cost). Moreover, the results also show that employee satisfaction moderates and enhances the relationship between adopting the digital strategy and possessing competitive advantages. The study recommended that decision-makers in commercial banks pay attention to applying digital technology because it enhances the speed and quality of providing services to customers.

“…Such firms are likely to be financially disadvantaged. As a result, their returns may exhibit characteristics similar to firms with a high book-to-market ratio rather than those with a low book-to-market ratio (Fama and French 1992;Habib et al 2022). Under the premise that idiosyncratic risk may also affect stock returns, we control for a firm's idiosyncratic risk (Li et al 2021;Lins et al 2017).…”

This study analyzes the impact of knowledge capital (KC), a key element of firms’ innovation and competitiveness, on stock returns during economic crises when sustainable competitiveness becomes particularly important. We analyze the impact of the Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19 as economic crises, focusing on manufacturing industries with a high proportion of investment shifts from physical capital to KC. Our findings indicate that KC is positively associated with stock returns during the Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19. This positive relationship is strengthened by the firm’s ability to leverage KC, as measured by greater product market share, higher Tobin’s Q, and larger cash holdings. This study emphasizes the protective role of KC during the economic crisis when the market pays more attention to corporate sustainability and provides implications to corporate managers and investors.

Despite the significant role of family firms in economies throughout the world, their academic research is relatively young. Furthermore, previous empirical studies in the field have focused on general topics, rather than examining how family firms are similar or different from other types of organisations in the decision-making process. Little is known about what drives family firms to implement environmental concerns in their strategies. Based on the above-mentioned findings, the research aims to analyse what the main drivers of environmental responsibility are in family firms in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries. The empirical study uses logistic regression that examines how selected important factors influence the adoption of strategic objectives that mention environmental or climate change issues. The study uses a data set from the World Bank Enterprise Survey 2019 and examines the attitudes of family businesses in four CEE countries (Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, and Estonia). The findings revealed a significant influence of the environmental manager, the customer's environmental requirements, and the energy performance standards on adopting strategic environmental objectives in family companies. We also consider the environmental manager as a key factor in terms of knowledge transfer and management of environmental responsibility in the firm. The results of this research provide a new perspective on the environmental responsibility of family businesses and explain which drivers should be considered when deciding to establish strategic objectives related to environmental issues. Managers should take these findings into account when deciding which tools to use to increase pro-environmental behaviour and implement environmental strategies.
