Impact of organizational dynamic capability on international expansion and the moderating role of environmental dynamism

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of dynamic capability (DC) of organizations on international expansion and further investigate the moderating role of environmental dynamism in the same context. Design/methodology/approach Based on the dynamic capability view (DCV) theory and related literature on international business strategy, a theoretical model is developed. This model is subsequently validated with the structural equation modelling technique through a survey of 324 respondents from Indian organizations. The study also examines the moderating impacts using the multigroup analysis method. Findings The study finds that organizations’ sensing, seizing and transformational capabilities impact positively and significantly on international marketing capability, as well as on technological innovation capability, which positively and significantly impacts organizations’ international expansion ability. The study also finds that there is a significant moderating impact of environmental dynamism on organizations’ international expansion. Research limitations/implications This study has provided a unique theoretical model which can explain the factors impacting organizations’ ability toward international expansion. The study also provides vital insights and directions to practitioners, researchers and academicians on the international business strategy for the expansion of organizations. The theoretical model, however, cannot be generalized, as data was taken only from Indian firms. Originality/value The study adds to the body of knowledge of international business strategy, international marketing strategy and technological innovation, adding to the scant research on the relationship between organizations’ DC and the international expansion strategy through a unique and tested model with an explanative power of 73%.

Big data analytics capabilities and supply chain performance: testing a moderated mediation model using partial least squares approach

“…BDA can also assist managers in planning, forecasting and building complex statistical models that provide strategies for identifying and correcting errors, reducing delivery time and improving production capabilities within the SC (Ogbuke et al ., 2022; Shamout, 2019). BDA provide opportunities for efficient and rapid analysis of customer and supplier data (Müller and Jensen, 2017), helping generate new insights into delivering innovations within the SC (Chatterjee et al ., 2022a, b).…”

“…Firms that continue to use BDA technologies enjoy competitive advantages (Mikalef et al ., 2020a, b) by developing innovation, seizing new opportunities and responding to customer preferences by using advanced analysis methods that help provide solutions (Johnson et al ., 2017; Ramadan et al ., 2020). Despite the importance of digital transformation and the adoption of BDA in promoting innovation in the SC and improving SCP, several antecedents must first exist within these firms, such as top management support (Maroufkhani et al ., 2022) and a corporate culture oriented towards BDA initiatives (Al-Khatib, 2022a; Chatterjee et al ., 2022a, b). Firms with a data-driven culture (DDC) can build organisational values and a data-oriented vision, leading to improved big data analytics capability (BDAC), innovation programme levels and SCP (Mondal and Samaddar, 2021).…”

Intellectual capital and innovation performance: the moderating role of big data analytics: evidence from the banking sector in Jordan

“…Organisations that do not have a culture that supports big data analytics can fail to make optimal use of its benefits and advantages. Chatterjee et al (2022) discussed the importance of an organisational culture oriented towards big data for improving innovation performance and achieving a competitive advantage (Grandhi et al , 2021).…”

SMEs’ intangible resources and their effects on export performance: a study on Malaysian halal F&B sector

“…Another critical resource for international firms is the firms’ ability to plan and implement marketing strategies to create and deliver value and attract foreign customers through appropriate marketing activities (Cavusgil and Zou, 1994; Morgan et al , 2018; Zhang et al , 2009). As highlighted in a previous study, marketing skills are needed by exporting SMEs as they have a significant positive impact on the expansion of firms’ internationalisation activities (Chatterjee et al , 2022). Previous researchers have also stressed that SMEs can only generate high sales, even with high-value products if their products are effectively marketed to foreign customers (Knight and Kim, 2009; Pronina et al , 2016).…”
