Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the link between internal capabilities, innovation strategies and export performance (EP), considering the corporate social responsibility (CSR) principle as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach The statistical population of the current study is the food and agricultural products exporting small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) which participated in the 27th International Agrofood Exhibition (2021) in Tehran, Iran. A sample of 296 managers was selected, using systematic random sampling, to answer the questionnaire. To analyze the data, we used structural equation modeling (SEM) and Hayes PROCESS in SPSS. Findings Results show that just manufacturing capabilities affect both exploratory and exploitative innovation, in contrast to marketing capabilities that does not have any significant impact on these two innovation strategies. Moreover, the impact of both explorative and exploratory innovation on EP is supported in the context of food and agricultural SMEs. However, CSR positively moderates the impact of exploratory innovation on EP, showing it has a negative effect on the impact of exploitative innovation on EP. Originality/value By addressing the research gap on the link between internal capabilities, innovation strategies, EP and CSR among SMEs, the current research provides valuable body of research that later studies in the literature can leverage or build upon.

创新能力、创新战略与出口绩效:企业社会责任的调节作用
目的探讨企业内部能力、创新战略与出口绩效之间的关系,并考虑企业社会责任原则的调节作用。当前研究的统计对象是参加在伊朗德黑兰举行的第27届国际农业食品展览会(2021年)的食品和农产品出口中小企业(SME)。采用系统随机抽样的方法,选取296名管理人员进行问卷调查。为了分析数据,我们使用了结构方程模型(SEM)和SPSS中的Hayes PROCESS。研究结果表明,制造能力对探索性创新和剥削性创新都有影响,而营销能力对这两种创新策略没有显著影响。此外,在粮食和农业中小企业的背景下,探索性创新和探索性创新对环境绩效的影响都得到了支持。企业社会责任正向调节探索性创新对企业环境绩效的影响,表明企业社会责任对剥削性创新对企业环境绩效的影响具有负向作用。原创性/价值通过解决中小企业内部能力、创新战略、环境效益和企业社会责任之间联系的研究空白,目前的研究提供了有价值的研究主体,可供后续文献研究利用或建立。
