“…Several suggested that it was curvilinear, precisely, an inverted U-shaped relationship. After a certain point, increasing diversity would have a negative impact on IP because of the difficulty of managing increasing transaction costs and of absorbing different knowledge; in other words because of an AC problem (Leeuw et al, 2014;Yu, 2013).…”

Abstract:The objective of this article is to present a model for analysing the role of absorptive capacity in the relationship between strategic alliance portfolios and innovation performance based on the results of bibliographic research on the subject published between 2000 and 2015. The research was carried out in three stages, involving both quantitative -bibliometric and bibliographic coupling -and qualitative content analyses. AP management capabilities were found to have a fundamental moderating role in the AP-IP relationship, and amongst these capabilities AC was highlighted by several authors. However, its role was found to vary according to AP characteristics, notably AP diversity -functional, geographic and institutional, but also centrality, size, stability and volume of resources, alliance and partner types as well as country type: emerging versus developed economies. This research formed the basis for the development of the model and the formulation of some propositions that focused on emerging countries.

“…Clearly, the first two and the last two tend to have direct bearings on internal SC integration and business performance outcomes respectively. Although workforce diversity will continue to persist, we believe that firms that are able to bridge the differences and enlarge the communalities among their workforce could obtain such intangible assets as trust and commitment embedded in social structures, relationships, and interactions (Clercq, Dimov, & Thongpapanl, 2013;Yu, 2013) which are very necessary for enhancing internal SC integration and hence business performance.…”

Today, workforce diversity management appears to attract strategic attention globally. Given this, a critical question that emerging research seeks to address is: is it even worth managing diverse workforce? Partly, this study addresses this question by examining the implications of managed-workforce diversity (MWD) on internal supply chain (SC) integration and business performance. Data was collected from one hundred and twenty six respondents using mainly questionnaires. The constructs employed to measure managed-workforce diversity, internal supply chain integration and business performance were together subjected to ANOVA, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and then confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Model (SEM) in LISREL 8.5. Analysis of the data gathered indicated that MWD is most likely to be beneficial in enhancing internal SC integration and then SC responsiveness; with the former benefit acting as a conduit through which the latter benefit is experienced. The study therefore argues that effective workforce diversity management is one that creates and maintains MWD (which is a positive affective climate where employees do not feel intimidated, looked down upon, or discriminated against just because of background differences), all of which are necessary for driving internal SC integration, SC responsiveness, and financial outcomes. The managerial implications and the theoretical relevance of the study's findings are discussed in details.

“…Organizations have some difficulties to gain competitive advantages and especially sustain them (Fosfuri and Tribo, 2008). In this condition, the most important issue for organizations that need to gain competitive advantage and improve their performance is knowledge, which is the intangible asset (Yu, 2013) and innovation (Aragon-Correa, Garcia-Morales, Cordon-Pozo, 2007;Liao and Chen, 2007). Because of the constraints imposed by environmental uncertainty, competition and the speed of change, focusing on knowledge is a must (Jansen, Bosch and Volberda, 2005).…”
