In this study, in which a new model was constructed to examine the reflections of digitalization on the field of management due to the increasing importance of digitalization day by day, the concepts that will affect digitalization were examined. In the study where the positive effect of digital transformational leadership and organizational agility on digital transformation was revealed, it was concluded that the concepts of digital strategy and digital culture are also effective on digital transformation. In addition, the results of the study show that digital strategy mediates the relationship between digital transformational leadership and digital transformation and the relationship between organizational agility and digital transformation, while digital culture has a mediating effect on the relationship between digital transformational leadership and digital transformation. The study provides recommendations for the development of digital transformation by addressing how defense industry employees promote leadership attitudes and organizational agility.
The current research studies aim to investigate antecedents that influence business graduate students' digital entrepreneurial intention (DEI) to establish digital start-up ventures by employing the capital theory, theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and social cognitive career theory (SCCT) model. Using quantitative and convenience sampling methods, 564 self-reported primary survey data were collected through an online questionnaire from business graduates in Karnataka, India. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyse survey data and empirically test the hypothesis. Findings suggest that digital entrepreneurial competence, digital entrepreneurial knowledge, digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy, digital innovative cognition, subjective norms, information technology culture, perceived behaviour control and social media influence antecedents significantly influence digital entrepreneurial attitudes towards DEI. Hence, digital entrepreneurial education and digital entrepreneurial role models are insignificant in influencing digital entrepreneurial attitudes towards DEI. Furthermore, business students' digital entrepreneurial attitudes significantly influence digital entrepreneurial intention towards creating digital-based start-up ventures. These research findings and results will contribute to governments, collegiate education departments, universities, and societal supporting systems to develop a framework and policies regarding technical and entrepreneurial education systems and create digital start-up ecosystems in the Indian context.
Using a bibliometric analysis and a systematic review of relevant literature, this study explores the strategic resource dimension of the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory and its application to corporate governance. To find pertinent articles in the Web of Science Core Collection published between 2014 and 2024, a methodical search strategy was used. A critical qualitative content analysis was carried out for the systematic review, and the bibliometric analysis was performed using the R-bibliometrix package. The analysis showed a steady interest in the RBV-corporate governance interface in research. Thematic analysis revealed long-standing interests in competitive advantage and dynamic capabilities alongside new fields like organisational resilience and artificial intelligence. By incorporating RBV principles into corporate governance procedures, resources can be strategically managed for long-term efficacy and competitiveness. By using the research's findings, organisations can modernise their approaches to strategic management, allocate resources more effectively, encourage accountability and transparency in governance frameworks, and make investments in the creation of dynamic capabilities.
This study examines the critical success factors (CSFs) that influence the adoption of e-commerce platforms by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and see how the adoption affects the SMEs' subsequent entrepreneurial performance. Building on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) and theory of entrepreneurial competency (TEC), the study presents and evaluates a comprehensive model that considers CSFs components as well as the moderating effect of entrepreneurial competencies. Convenience sampling was used to gather data from a survey of Bangladeshi SMEs using a standardized questionnaire; structural equation modeling (SEM) was then used to analyze 384 valid samples. Empirical findings indicate that CSFs elements, particularly organizational and external factors, have a significant association with e-commerce performance. The study also presents and supports the idea that entrepreneurial competencies have a moderating influence on the link between overall entrepreneurial performance and e-commerce performance. The findings contribute theoretically by outlining key influencers of e-commerce and entrepreneurial performance offering insights for young entrepreneurs and future researchers. It underscores the importance of focusing on CSFs for ensuring business success. Notably, the research emphasizes the pivotal role of entrepreneurial competencies for young entrepreneurs and SME owners providing practical insights for enhancing personal qualities and decision-making abilities to ensure entrepreneurial success in the dynamic e-commerce industry.
In pursuing competitive advantage, businesses are diffusing new digital technologies across their value chains and, by doing so, catalyzing significant organizational changes in operational processes and strategic approaches. This widespread evolution of businesses has prompted significant questions regarding the drivers of digital change, the necessary resources, and the capabilities that need to be developed or reconfigured. Our paper focuses on the role of intangible resources, such as a firm's social capital, and its specific implications for the broader research on this phenomenon. Consistent with the resource-based view, we examine the role of different types of social capital as critical resources in the digital transformation process while also considering the mediating role of the balancing act of the capabilities around business alignment and adaptation encompassed in the concept of ambidexterity. Furthermore, we introduce a contextual dimension to our study by examining family involvement in a firm as a significant factor influencing how businesses shape their digital goals and allocate resources toward digital transformation. Our paper addresses this under-explored research field by drawing on a large, cross-sectional dataset from an online panel study with 582 management-level participants from UK firms. After testing our hypotheses, our study's results indicate that bridging and bonding social capital resources significantly promote digital transformation by indirectly developing an ambidextrous orientation. Moreover, familial orientation strengthens both relationships. This research is currently one of the few studies providing empirical evidence on the relationship between digital transformation, its antecedents, and, specifically, the role of intangible resources.
Digitalization has brought several unpredictable changes in the field of technology and innovation management. Despite several studies on how digital innovation stands out in terms of a firm's performance, there is an evident research gap for empirical studies on technology startups from developing countries. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of digitalization in three categories (digital interconnectedness, digitalized value chains and big data analytics) on exploratory and exploitative innovations under the moderation of absorptive capacity in technology startups of three different sizes operating in Pakistan. The study used the binary probit model and the results reveal the impact of digitalization on exploratory and exploitative innovations is heterogenous in startups of different sizes along with a significant moderating effect of absorptive capacity. The findings suggest that technological innovation plays a different role among different sizes of startups under the moderation of absorptive capacity.
Male leaders were by and large bound to show different parts of transactional leadership (dynamic & uninvolved administration by exemption) and laissez-faire leadership. A meta-analysis of certain examination of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles revealed that female leaders were more transformational as compared to male leaders and also engaged in more of the contingent reward behaviors that are a component of transactional leadership. “The investigation expected to discover observational proof on whether female leadership styles contrast or like male's administration styles. The exploration thought about ladies and men on ground breaking, conditional and free enterprise administration styles. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire figured dependent on Full Range Leadership Development Theory, was utilized to decide authority styles. The Overall discoveries from this examination recommend that female chiefs have more ground breaking characteristics, which they may support since it gives them a method for beating blocks to their authority and normally exhibit their capacity to meet the necessities of their sex job and that adjusting to their sexual orientation job can obstruct their capacity to meet the prerequisites of their role.”
