“…It looks at the trust, norms, obligations and identifications developed by the individuals. Structural social capital on the other hand is considered as the density, connectivity and appropriate ability of the networks (Ruiz-Ortega et al, 2022). It looks at the size, density and strengths of the ties that the individual develops (Claridge, 2018a, b).…”

A self-administered questionnaire was used to gather data from 154 full-service restaurants in Kampala. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS.25) and Medgraph – Excel Version were used to conduct correlation, hierarchical regression and mediation analysis on the data in order to establish the mediating role of dynamic capabilities.FindingsStudy findings revealed that first, social capital and dynamic capabilities significantly predict sustainable growth of full-service restaurants, second, social capital is significantly associated with dynamic capabilities and third, dynamic capabilities significantly mediate social capital and sustainable growth of full-service restaurants.Originality/valueThe study confirmed that dynamic capabilities significantly mediate social capital and sustainable growth of full-service restaurants unlike the previous studies that focused on the direct association between the study variables in explicating sustainable growth.

“…Nonetheless, given the importance of this sector in society, it is of interest for research to identify the factors that determine pioneering behavior in enterprises involved in tourism activities. The work by Ruiz-Ortega, Molina-Morales, Parra-Requena, and García-Villaverde (2020) suggests that tourism firms need to be vigilant for significant changes in product demand and trends in tourist flows. The capability to cooperate and compete with local agents is key, without neglecting the global scenario (Klingebiel & Joseph, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the moderating role of market dynamism in the relationship between organizational flexibility and pioneering behavior in tourism firms in Arequipa, Peru. This study aims to delve into the antecedents of pioneering orientation understood as a strategic stance that favors the creation and launch of new products in the market. Design/methodology/approach This empirical study involved the analysis, using partial least squares regression, of 306 surveys administered to mangers of tourism enterprises. Mediation has also been examined using the bootstrapping method. Findings The results show that organizational flexibility has a positive impact on pioneering behavior, while market dynamism positively mediates this relationship. Practical implications This work provides interesting theoretical and empirical contributions for the management of firms in the tourism sector. Firms should develop capabilities to reconfigure their processes and products to adequately implement and exploit innovations generated in their organizations. In addition, tourism enterprises should improve their performance by creating new products and/or services, aligned with changes in customers' purchasing and consumption habits. Originality/value This study aims to elaborate on the background of pioneering orientation understood as a strategic stance that favors the creation and launch of new products in the market. This study also proposes that market dynamism is a factor to be considered in improving this relationship.

“…Kim and Cannella ( 2008 ) identify two fundamental aspects to consider: the strength of the relationships presented as a composition between time, emotional intensity, mutual trust, and reciprocal benefits (Granovetter, 1973 ). Along the same lines, these relationships can be strong, which would imply a high intensity of relationship, or they can be weak, with a low frequency of interaction (García-Muiña & González-Sánchez, 2017 ; Ruiz-Ortega et al, 2020 ).…”

The present work responds to the need for literature on the incidence of interorganizational relations and the performance of new products in the context of tourist destinations. Specifically, the article analyzes the effect of market and technological dynamism on the relationship between interorganizational relations and the performance of new products in tourism companies. The empirical study is carried out on a sample of 300 companies located in Arequipa-Perú. Research results show that both innovativeness and technological dynamism enhance the link between interorganizational relationships and new product performance. Some theoretical implications for academics and also some practical implications for managers of tourism companies that carry out activities in the studied context are derived from the research.
