“…Agility helps organizations quickly shift their internal resources to cope with different environmental conditions, thus enabling them to sense and seize opportunities and transform them accordingly. Therefore, agility should positively affect organizational performance (Alfalla-Luque et al, 2023;Cegarra-Navarro et al, 2016;Nejatian et al, 2018). We argue that organizational agility leads to increased performance through two mechanisms.…”

PurposeAs a response to the increased frequency of disruptive events and intense competition, organizational agility has become a key concept in organizational research. Fostering organizational agility requires leveraging knowledge that exists both outside (exploration) and inside (exploitation) the organization. This research tests the so-called ambidexterity hypothesis, which claims that a balance between exploration and exploitation leads to increased organizational outcomes, including the development of organizational agility. Complementing previously established measurement models on ambidexterity, this research proposes an alternative measurement model to analyze how ambidexterity can enhance organizational agility and, indirectly, performance, taking into consideration the moderating effect of environmental competitiveness.Design/methodology/approachA review of existing measurement models for ambidexterity shows that tension, a crucial aspect of ambidexterity, is often neglected. The authors, therefore, develop a new measurement model of ambidexterity to incorporate ambidexterity-induced tension. Using this measurement model, they examine the effect of ambidexterity on the development of entrepreneurial and adaptive agility as well as performance.FindingsAmbidexterity positively influences both entrepreneurial and adaptive agility, indicating that a balance between exploration and exploitation has superior organizational effects. This finding confirms the ambidexterity hypothesis with respect to organizational agility. Furthermore, both entrepreneurial and adaptive agility drive organizational performance. These two indirect effects via agility fully mediate the impact of ambidexterity on organizational performance. Finally, environmental competitiveness positively moderates the relationship between ambidexterity and adaptive agility.Originality/valueThe findings extend research on ambidexterity by showing its positive effects on organizational agility. Furthermore, the study proposes an alternative operationalization to capture the ambidexterity construct that may lay the groundwork for further applications of the ambidexterity concept.

“…Digital technology has been conspicuously absent from the development of theory and practice to account for supply chain resilience, this is a great concern [34], who defines it as "a supply chain's ability to adjust and respond to minimize the likelihood of disruptions, maintain control over its structure and function, propagate a disruption and quickly recover and respond by having effective backup plans". Digital supply chain resilience can recover from an unplanned disruption and even gain competitive advantages by doing so [35]. Indeed, supply chains have benefited from digital technology and become more resilient as a result of its use during the COVID-19 pandemic [36].…”

This research aims to explore the complex interplay between supply chain resilience (SCR), digital supply chain (DSC), and sustainability, focusing on the moderating influence of supply chain dynamism. The goal is to understand how these elements interact within the framework of contemporary supply chain management and how they collectively contribute to enhancing sustainability outcomes. The sample size is 300 CEOs and managers. The study approach integrates quantitative research methods. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to quantitatively analyze the direct and indirect effects of SCR and DSC on sustainability. The numerous surveys we conduct among supply chain ecosystem stakeholders provide a rich picture of practical implications and contextual nuances. In sum, our early findings generally support a positive relationship between SCR and sustainability in and of itself, declaring the need for more resilient supply networks for sustainability. We further find the beneficial impact of digital technologies in promoting sustainability via enhancing environmental control and controlling for efficiency in supply chains. We also offer evidence to show that supply chain dynamism compounds the positive logic between SCR and DSC and sustainability. As a final word, it must be noted that our work speaks to the burgeoning literature on supply chain dynamism as a moderator by examining the direct and contingent effects of SCR and DSC not only on performance but sustainability. By shedding light on the moderating role of dynamism, the study provides fresh insights into the multifaceted nature of supply chain management and sustainability practices. The study’s findings enhance theoretical understanding by elucidating the synergistic effects of SCR, DSC, and sustainability in dynamic supply chain settings. The study augments the existing theoretical frameworks by integrating the concepts of resilience, digitalization, and sustainability into a comprehensive model. Practical and economical, the research offers actionable guidance for organizations aiming to improve sustainability performance through resilient and digitally advanced supply chains. By acknowledging the role of supply chain dynamism, managers can tailor strategies to manage disruptions effectively and leverage digital innovations. Economically, adopting sustainable practices can result in cost savings and competitive advantages. The research emphasizes the importance of aligning supply chain strategies with sustainability goals to drive long-term value and societal impact.

“…Furthermore, it can enable them to provide financial services to customers without personal interaction (Raveendra and Satish, 2021). Prior studies have focused on different types of agilities leading to performance, such as strategic agility (Shin et al, 2015;Clauss et al, 2019;Gerald et al, 2020), supply chain agility (Blome et al, 2013;Cadden et al, 2022;Alfalla-Luque et al, 2023), manufacturing agility (Awan et al, 2022), business process agility (Kurniawan et al, 2021) and market agility (Benzidia and Makaoui, 2020). However, there is limited literature highlighting the specific agility or dynamic capability required by FinTech startups to enhance their market performance.…”

In the dynamic market of Pakistan, the FinTech industry faces many challenges in grabbing the market share. FinTech startups must develop the dynamic capabilities to cope with these challenges and enhance their market performance. Marketing agility involves different dynamic capabilities that can improve organizational operations. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the influence of marketing agility on the market performance of FinTechs. Moreover, it investigated the moderating role of data-driven culture in the relationship between marketing agility and market performance. The data for the research were gathered from 447 managers of FinTech companies via a close-ended questionnaire. The preliminary analysis reported seven outliers, which were removed during screening. Thus, 440 responses were retained for final analysis. The demographic characteristics of managers were determined using SPSS. In addition, Smart PLS-4 was used for data analysis. It analyzed the data in two steps; in the first step, the measurement model was accessed, and the second step investigated the structural model to test the hypotheses. The results highlighted the significant relationship between marketing agility and performance. In addition, the findings confirmed the moderation of data-driven culture in the relationship between marketing agility and market performance. The research results can act as a guide for managers of Fintech startups aiming to enhance their market performance in the volatile market of Pakistan.
