Purpose This paper aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the relationship between different capabilities and innovation performances in the biotechnology sector, in the case of Mexico. Design/methodology/approach Given the aforementioned objective, this paper constructs different indicators on types of capabilities and innovative performances and, based on them, performs an econometric analysis based on a logit model. The work assumes the central assumptions of the firm's evolutionary theory and, in this sense, seeks to provide quantitative empirical evidence that explains the way in which the construction of different types of capacities determines the innovation results of Mexican firms in the biotechnology sector. Findings Corroborating the previous empirical evidence in analysis of firm’s capabilities in the biotechnology sector, this work empirically states that productive, absorption, technological and innovative capabilities positively influence the innovative performance of Mexican biotechnology firms. Originality/value This work examines a central theme linked to the current analysis of innovation and knowledge processes: the relationship between the organizational capacities of firms in the biotechnology sector and their innovative performance. Through a detailed analysis based on a national survey of Mexican biotechnology firms, this work underlines the importance of generating a new type of reflection on linkage among capabilities, innovation, paradigms and trajectories, technological opportunities, relationship dynamics among actors and modes of insertion into the biotechnology value chain.

Purpose The purpose of this study is threefold: first, to provide a comprehensive and systemized literature review on open innovation (OI) in family firms; second, to identify the antecedent of family firms’ heterogeneity (i.e. governance structure, goals and resources) and to outline how they affect OI behavior; and third, to propose potential avenues for further research. Design/methodology/approach The study consists of a systematic literature review and analyses the findings of 36 papers on OI and family firms. Findings Based on the results of the reviewed papers, authors show how family firms’ specific characteristics/factors strictly related to their governance structure, goals and resources affect OI behavior. Furthermore, the authors highlight also that adoption of different mechanisms/strategies can be useful to family firms to overcome OI barriers. Finally, discussion and avenues for further research are presented. Practical implications This review can be useful to family business managers, directors and/or external consultants to better understand family-specific characteristics to support family businesses in opening up their boundaries to external partners. Originality/value To the best knowledge, this is the first systematic review on OI and family firms that attempt to identify all family-specific characteristics/factors, known as the antecedent of heterogeneity that affects family firm OI behavior. The authors believe that it could represent an important guide for future research on this topic.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between agile production (flexible production technology) and absorptive capacity. Design/methodology/approach We use a database of 1,864 Spanish industrial firms from the Survey of Business Strategies (the largest Spanish database of its kind). Our theoretical approach is based on the resource-based view and the dynamic capabilities perspective. The methodology includes descriptive statistics analysis and lineal regression with moderator effect. Findings High-agile firms with greater absorptive capacity are more innovative and better performers than low-agile firms. Absorptive capacity moderates the relationship between flexible production technology and innovation performance. Research limitations/implications This is a cross-sectional study, which may limit the establishment of causal relationships. We give evidence to the importance of studying absorptive capacity in the agile production implementation process. Practical implications There are several managerial implications. First, agile production systems should be integrated into the firm’s innovation system because the continuous improvement of agile production has to be reinforced by the outputs of external knowledge and in-house innovation activities. Second firms that use external sources of knowledge to improve production processes could leverage that benefit better, not only in Operations but also in innovation performance. The adoption of flexible production technology cannot be kept apart from the firm´s organizational learning processes based on external knowledge. Our results also support the contribution of clusters of collaborative firms to improve their production processes throughout absorptive capacity and thus the implementation of agile production systems. Originality/value This is the first study, to the best of our knowledge, has involved the role of absorptive capacity, as an internal capability/competence, to influence the relationship between agility/flexible technology and innovation performance.

Purpose Individuals’ intentional responses to declining job satisfaction have been associated with the EVLN model. Employees’ silence, as an independent construct, can be understood as an individual, intentional and deliberate decision to retain important information for the organization. The purpose of this paper is to analyze employees’ silence, which can be understood as a fifth individual response to job satisfaction declining, along with the remaining four responses proposed in the EVLN model. It is proposed as an extension to the original model through the introduction of employee silence; the model is referred to as the EVLNS model. Design/methodology/approach The present study is quantitative, hypothetical-deductive, correlational and transversal. The sample is composed of 756 professionals working in the higher education sector. The paper used structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses to test its hypotheses. Findings Results showed that employees’ silence has a dual factorial structure, which is composed of an adhesion dimension and a rejection dimension. The study also finds that these two dimensions can be integrated as an extension of the original EVLN model. It is found that, although they are related, these dimensions also capture a certain degree of independence, with different levels of influence of job satisfaction. Practical implications An important implication is that silence is a complex phenomenon, suggesting that this is more than the simple absence of voice and may have different motives. Additionally, it is important to emphasize that job satisfaction can contribute to different individual responses and managers must act accordingly. Originality/value The study contributes to a better understanding of the individuals’ potential responses to declining job satisfaction through the extension of the original EVLN model with the introduction of a fifth response – the employees’ silence.

Purpose Analyzing the association between the entrepreneur’s background and product innovation, this paper aims to propose that some entrepreneur’s features are associated with the product innovation in incubated companies. Design/methodology/approach The study involved 95 technology-based firms incubated in Brazil. Questionnaires were sent to 461 technology-based incubated firms of the state, of which 112 have responded; however, only 95 met the established criteria, which was analyzed by logistic regression. Findings It was found that companies whose entrepreneurs have technical academic education closer to the Exact Sciences promote more innovation in products, regardless the size of their companies. In addition, in smaller firms, besides the technical background closer to the Exact Sciences, the entrepreneur's experience in the company also showed positive association regarding the intensity with which such firms innovate in products. Practical implications Results indicate that entrepreneurs who were selected taking into account their technical background closer to the Exact Sciences are more likely to contribute to the product innovation in their companies. Therefore, investing in their businesses will also increase the likelihood of success in the efficient allocation of the incubator resources. Originality/value The originality of this paper is reflected by the presentation of relations between entrepreneur’s background and product innovation in technology-based incubated firms in an emerging economy, highlighting the value of some characteristics of entrepreneur’s background to promote product innovation.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the role of resource orchestration in turnaround attempts following the organizational decline in the context of an emerging economy. Design/methodology/approach Multicase study of three Brazilian textile firms, following their trajectory from 1997 to 2009. We did a “historical reconstruction using the methodology” proposed by Mintzberg and McHugh (1985) to guide our data collection and analysis procedures. The methodology is geared towards the study of the evolution of organizations over a past period, wherein the researcher reconstructs the events after they have occurred, having developed them from documentary analysis and oral history. Findings The results indicate that resource orchestration is a critical capability for ensuring the coordinated implementation of operational and strategic actions in a turnaround. Moreover, in a context involving severe environmental jolts, the conservation of organizational slack appears to influence the effectiveness of resource orchestration and explains the different outcomes the firms in this study achieved in their turnaround attempts. Research limitations/implications This paper may be useful to practitioners involved in turnarounds, helping them evaluate the consequences of decisions involving the acquisition, reconfiguration, bundling and divestment of firm resources. Practical implications Besides contributing to the advancement of theory-informed research on decline and turnaround, this paper may be useful to practitioners involved in turnarounds, when they consider the consequences of decisions involving firm resources. Originality/value This paper helps advance theory-informed research on decline and turnaround in developing economies, helping address a gap in the extant literature, primarily focused on firms in developed countries.

Strategic fit is known to be an important antecedent to a firm’s performance, but there is little research explaining its influence on firm’s environmental performance. This paper aims to propose that strategic fit is likely to affect two firm-level outcomes: dynamic equilibrium and dynamic disequilibrium.,Prior debate has underlined the role of adaptation vs selection in achieving strategic fit, but we assert that firms vary in their strategic fit. This paper models inter-firm differentials in environmental performance, using survey data from a sample of Chinese small and medium enterprises.,Transformative leadership, operational agility and knowledge-based identity facilitate compensatory fit, while productivity growth, strategic adaptability and low product-market maturity enable strategic fit.,The authors show how low strategic fit may provide selection advantages via compensatory fit. Some firms do seek to achieve greater fit to the embedded contextual contingencies (dynamic equilibrium) at the cost of their energy. However, others respond to the expectations for green performance that are presently orthogonal to the embedded context to realize compensatory fit using the energy of the context (dynamic disequilibrium). This manifests as differential capabilities for adaptation vs selection.,The findings highlight how the firms may use cultural fit pathway for transcending the phenomenological tradeoffs between economic performance-oriented strategic fit and ecological performance-oriented compensatory fit.,This paper shows how low strategic fit may provide selection advantages via compensatory fit.

众所周知，战略契合是企业绩效的重要前提，但很少有研究解释其对企业环境绩效的影响。本文旨在提出战略契合可能影响两种企业层面的结果:动态均衡和动态不均衡。先前的争论强调了适应与选择在实现战略契合中的作用，但我们断言，企业的战略契合是不同的。本文利用中国中小企业环境绩效的调查数据，建立了企业间环境绩效差异模型。变革型领导、运营敏捷性和知识型认同促进了补偿匹配，而生产率增长、战略适应性和低产品市场成熟度则促进了战略匹配。作者展示了低战略匹配如何通过补偿匹配提供选择优势。一些公司确实以精力为代价，寻求更大程度地适应嵌入的情境偶然性(动态均衡)。然而，其他人对绿色绩效的期望做出反应，这些期望目前与嵌入的环境正交，利用环境的能量(动态不平衡)实现补偿拟合。这表现为适应能力与选择能力的差异。研究结果强调了企业如何利用文化契合途径来超越经济绩效导向的战略契合与生态绩效导向的补偿契合之间的现象学权衡。本文揭示了低战略拟合如何通过补偿拟合提供选择优势。一些公司确实以精力为代价，寻求更大程度地适应嵌入的情境偶然性(动态均衡)。然而，其他人对绿色绩效的期望做出反应，这些期望目前与嵌入的环境正交，利用环境的能量(动态不平衡)实现补偿匹配。这表现为适应能力与选择能力的差异。研究结果表明，在经济发展的过程中，经济发展对经济发展的影响是显著的，经济发展对经济发展的影响是显著的。支持者必须调整战略，这可能会对组织的结果产生影响:动态平衡或动态不平衡。1 .辩论前，关于适应趋势、选择和调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前，关于调整战略的辩论前。模型分析的不同之处在于，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲，从传统意义上讲。例如，转型、敏捷性、操作性、识别基础、便利和调整补偿、生产力和适应性战略、适应性战略、产品-商品战略和有利于调整战略。，Mostramos公司通过适当的补偿来调整策略，以适应公司的选择。Algunas empresas buscan un mayor ajuste a las contingency cias del entorno(均衡)a costa de su energy。因此，其他国家对中等环境条件下的可持续发展作出了预期的反应，并对环境能源的补偿利用和不平衡(不平衡)作出了反应。为了更好地理解“能力形态”，我们需要区分“适应性”和“选择性”。新形势下的结果是调整文化导向，调整贸易导向，调整对比导向，调整战略导向，调整结果，调整经济导向，调整补偿导向，调整结果，调整中间环境。调查结果表明:生态系统的整体选择、生态系统的整体适应、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑、生态系统的整体逻辑。企业对要素决策、影响决策、管理决策、能力决策、管理决策、经济决策、生态决策、导向决策、文化决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策、管理决策。经济、生态和新国家经济一体化的中间经济模型，即经济、生态和新国家经济一体化的中间经济模型，即经济、生态和环境一体化的中间经济模型，即经济和环境一体化的中间经济模型，即经济和环境一体化的中间经济模型，即一般外部环境的负作用。， palavras - have, resulttados medioambientales, crerecimiento de la productiviad, Liderazgo transformional, Agilidad operativa, adaptividad estrateica, Madurez productto -mercado,O - adjusted estratetico, conhechecdo poechedenente do desempenho da empresa, as, poscas pesquisas explancia影响no desempenho environmental data empresa。提出调整战略的方法，对结果的影响是不确定的:<s:1>微观经济平衡和<s:1>微观经济不平衡。

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of market orientation on performance and to figure out the mediator effect of incremental innovation on this relationship with an implementation on Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach Following a survey among 333 owners/managers of SMEs in Indian, six research propositions were framed. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and regression analysis was used for the purpose of data analysis. Findings The outcome of the study demonstrates a significant effect of market orientation on SMEs performance. In addition, the mediating effect of innovation between market orientation and business performance was not supported in the context. Research limitations/implications This study uses cross-sectional research, which limits the ability to test the causality; hence, such studies should be replicated in other settings also to get more evidences about the relationship. Practical implications The research will help managers especially in manufacturing SMEs of developing countries to understand benefits of being market-oriented to improve performance. Originality/value The study attempts to enrich the market orientation literature especially in developing economies. It identifies the significant effect of interfunctional coordination on performance of small and medium enterprises working in more volatile environment. Further, the study also examines mediating role of innovation between market orientation and performance linkage.
