The dynamic capabilities view has been established as one of the most influential theoretical perspectives in contemporary strategic management, raising the need to use bibliometric tools. The work aims to identify the intellectual structure of dynamic capabilities view within the scientific field of strategic management by analyzing 823 research articles published on the Web of Science Core Collection. The results obtained from the analysis of 13,144 cited references have provided important conclusions to one of the most vibrant debates of this study approach, the confrontation between two of the seminal contributions of the dynamic capabilities literature. In addition to shedding light on the ongoing debate in the literature, this paper has achieved some research findings. First, it improves the comprehensive theoretical justification of the need to implement bibliometric techniques in the study field. It lets the researcher could better understand the foundations of the analyses performed. Furthermore, the author and co-citation analysis served to build the respective network and to group the most-cited references into four clusters. These results have been of great use in understanding the current intellectual structure and how to propose the relevant research currents in this field of study. Finally, the conclusions obtained are subject to certain limitations. On the one hand, this research is based on a sample of documents published on the Web of Science Core Collection database. On the other hand, emphasis must be placed on those limitations more closely associated with utilizing bibliometric techniques, which allows us to propose interesting lines of future research.
动态能力观已被确立为当代战略管理中最具影响力的理论视角之一,这就提出了使用文献计量工具的必要性。本工作旨在通过分析发表在Web of Science Core Collection上的823篇研究文章,确定战略管理科学领域内动态能力观的知识结构。对13144篇引用文献的分析结果为这一研究方法中最具活力的争论之一,即动态能力文献中两个重要贡献之间的对抗,提供了重要结论。除了阐明文献中正在进行的争论外,本文还取得了一些研究成果。首先,它改进了在研究领域实施文献计量技术的必要性的全面理论论证。它使研究人员能够更好地理解所进行分析的基础。此外,作者和共引分析有助于建立各自的网络,并将引用最多的参考文献分为四组。这些结果对于理解当前的智力结构以及如何提出该研究领域的相关研究趋势具有重要意义。最后,得出的结论有一定的局限性。一方面,这项研究是基于发表在Web of Science核心收藏数据库上的文件样本。另一方面,必须强调那些与利用文献计量技术更密切相关的局限性,这使我们能够提出未来研究的有趣方向。

This study aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis management strategies of the real estate agencies in Thailand. The pandemic and consequent lockdown by the Thai government severely hampered the real estate sector, which is heavily dependent on foreign buying and rental demands. The study took a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews of 20 managers or owners. The concepts of crisis management strategy were used to separate the COVID-19 crisis into three stages: pre-crisis, ongoing-crisis, and post-crisis to study the different strategies that conform to the unique criteria in each stage. The research findings depict the strategies employed in each stage: offensive, challenge, passive, termination, and internal process change strategies. Applying/properly balancing these strategies during each crisis stage are critical and must be carefully considered. In addition, agencies are shown the importance of being prepared and planning for uncertainties under the pre-crisis stage. Therefore, well-prepared firms with a proper strategy are less affected by any crisis than those not well-prepared. Under the ongoing- crisis stage, it is about prompt responsiveness and timely implementation of the strategies prepared during the pre-crisis stage with some alterations in immediate reaction to the real-time situations. An internal process change strategy should mainly apply before other strategies to yield immediate/ effective results. Meanwhile, under the post-crisis stage, even though it is almost impossible to prevent the cause of the crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic directly, preparation readiness in the pre-crisis stage, which learned from the previous post-crisis stage is, directly affects the possibility to survive or to thrive of the companies. An evaluation of what strategies worked and what did not during the ongoing crisis must be encrypted, learned from, circulated, and prepared for the next crisis.

Most research on mall visit intention emphasized the store atmosphere and shopping values. In the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers may postpone visiting shopping malls due to health risks. A limited number of studies consider risk perception as the antecedent of shopping mall visit intention. Furthermore, even though the role of non-pharmaceutical intervention is relevant to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, only a few studies are looking at this variable as the antecedent of behavioral intention. This paper aims to understand customer intention to shop in malls despite the COVID-19 social restrictions. This research extends the theory of reasoned action by attaching two dimensions of perceived risk, namely cognitive and affective perceived risks and non-pharmaceutical intervention. Samples of 180 respondents in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, were selected using snowball sampling. Their responses were analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling. The findings showed that attitude was the most potent influencing variable to mall visit intention. Moreover, this study found that cognitive perceived risk influences attitude, subjective norms, and non-pharmaceutical intervention, while affective perceived risk only influences non-pharmaceutical intervention.

This study aims to measure the earnings quality (EQ) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries using a sample of 1827 firm-year observations from 2008 to 2016 by using nine EQ measures. These measures are persistence, predictability, value relevance, earnings response coefficient (ERC), smoothness, earnings surprise, accrual quality, loss recognition timeliness and conservatism. The study also examines the effect of these nine EQ measures on attracting foreign investors. Data are collected from Capital IQ database, and some other data are calculated manually from the capital markets and firms in each country. In this quantitative research, the sample is analysed by using descriptive statistics, correlation, and generalized least squares (GLS) regression to verify the hypotheses and analyse the effect of EQ measures on attracting foreign investors. Findings show distinct effects on attracting foreign investors in different countries. Persistence, predictability, ERC, and accrual quality have a positive effect in Oman, whereas value relevance and ERC have a positive effect in Kuwait. Predictability, accrual quality, ERC, and conservatism negatively affect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Finally, loss recognition timeliness, smoothness, and earnings surprise do not have any effect in all GCC countries.

Albeit customer-to-customer interaction (CCI) is something inevitable in a socially dense interaction-rich service setup, there has not been any review in this area of literature. However, a considerable amount of extant research has highlighted the importance of inter-customer encounters during a service encounter. Customer-to-customer value co-creation during collective consumption is gaining relevance in the field of contemporary services marketing research. This review deals with searching articles through the Scopus database and systematically reviewing 115 articles related to customer-to-customer value co-creation and CCI. While highlighting their contribution to the services marketing literature and various theories, methodologies followed by the authors, it paves the way for developing the proposed conceptual framework for the process of customer-to-customer value co-creation. This way, the article adds up to the extant multi-approach research area revolving around customer-to-customer interactions/relationships, customer engagement, and value co-creation among the customers during a service encounter. The study recommends practitioners analyze and monitor the aspects proposed through a practical implication.
