“…These relations could be labelled as innovating since they use new technologies provided by the innovation in technologies of information and communication (TICs) and offer knowledge and its transfer, create more dynamic relations and enhance the assets of companies (Amin, 1999;Cooke, 1996;seen in Braun, 2002). Accordingly, the literature emphasizes that innovations benefit not only the ones that adopt them by providing competitive advantages, functional differentiation, administrative intensity as well as internal and external communication (Baldrige & Burnham, 1975;Kimberly & Evanisko, 1981;Hull & Hage, 1982;Damanpour, 1987;Abrahamson & Rosenkopf, 1993;Mahajan & Balasubramanian, 2003), but they are also updated regarding their competitors, an imperative need for any executive. Furthermore, it is mentioned that the trend of being part of the virtual world that, according to Wu, Mahajan, & Balasubramanian (2003), was a guideline promoted by enterprises that want to innovate constantly.…”

Today, companies are under enormous pressure to innovate (Steinhoff & Trommosdorff, 2013) due to rapid technological evolution, reduced product life cycles and globalized markets (Rovira & Tolstoy, 2016), coupled with the fact that the user is increasingly interactive with digital media, which emphasizes the fact that companies must have presence on the web to be able to cope with the current environment. The main objective of the present study is to investigate how innovation in products, processes, marketing and organization generates opportunities for efficient marketing of companies, transforming it into digital marketing. The present study was carried out in a sample of 256 companies in the state of Aguascalientes (Mexico) using the technique of structural equations modeling (SEM), where the results show positive and significant effects of the innovation on the adoption of digital marketing.

“…Although there are many factors that influence the performance of an organization, according to Bueno and Ordonez (2004), innovation was found to be one of the most prominent and crucial factors as it helps the organization to stay competitive throughout the business evolution. The ability of organizations in responding and adapting itself towards changes resulting from internal and/or external forces were the main focus of early research work in relation to innovation (Hull & Hage, 1982). In a broader perspective, the widely examined entrepreneurial orientation dimension throughout the entrepreneurship literature is, perhaps, innovation.…”

-The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between work discretion and entrepreneurial orientation dimensions namely innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness among employees of cement manufacturers in Johor, by applying the quantitative approach. An online internet-based web survey questionnaire method is adopted to collect data for the study and the population consists of all employees (N=300) of cement manufacturing organizations in Johor. Response rate of 70.4 percent is achieved. Formulated hypotheses are tested with multiple regression analysis and the findings indicate that all three hypotheses are supported providing empirical evidence confirming significant relationship between work discretion and entrepreneurial orientation dimensions investigated in the study. In addition, implications of the study are also discussed apart from the avenue for future research in the area of entrepreneurial orientation.

“…Participative decision making stimulates communication and information flow in the entire organization (Kanter, 1983). Few hierarchy levels reduces the number of people involved in the communication process, increasing its speed and accuracy (Damanpour, 1991;Hull & Hage, 1982). Thus, vertical communication tends to be more developed in flatness organizations when compared to organizations with numerous hierarchy levels.…”

One major characteristic of studies in operations and supply chain management literature is a focus on how integration can lead to superior operations and manufacturing outcomes. Most of these studies, however, focus only on internal or external integration and few have been dedicated to understand how both internal and external integration influence performance outcomes. In addition, few studies, if any, have looked to the antecedents of organizational structure as a driver for such forms of integration. To help filling this gap, we draw on organizational structure and resource-based view theoretical perspectives to present a conceptual model that proposes a relationship between organizational structure and integration. The model also considers major antecedents of organizational structure and the manufacturing performance consequences of integration. As a result, we introduce a series of propositions to be subject to empirical scrutiny as well as serve as a reference for future conceptual and empirical models.
