Toward digitalization strategic perspective in the European food industry: non-linear nexuses analysis
Purpose
Organizations deal with digital technologies to achieve their strategic goals. The shift toward digitization is a major challenge because it requires companies to create a digital outlook that influences organizational design. As a result, investigation of institutional theory and entrepreneurial orientation theory in the European food industry has become the focus of research in recent times.
Design/methodology/approach
To this end, data were collected from 83 companies related to the food industry in the European context. By applying a hybrid phase of the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) methods, this study captured the causal–non-linear relationships among the study constructs.
Findings
The findings revealed that the variables of institutional theory and entrepreneurial orientation theory affect the adoption of the digital strategy. There is also a dual interaction role for e-business capabilities and digital transformation. The results of non-linear relationships confirmed that digital strategy adoption is highly influenced by digital transformation, followed by risk-taking, digital leadership, e-business capabilities, organizational agility, proactiveness and innovativeness.
Research limitations/implications
The authors provided significant implications for practitioners and academics about the most influential determinants of digital strategy – businesses must move swiftly toward digitization across its various units to achieve their objectives. An organization’s leadership must realize that equipping the employees with necessary skills is the first step toward digitalization.
Originality/value
The current study underscores the digital strategy, which is usually an overlooked area of investigation, in the food industry. The study identifies some important predictors of digital strategy adoption with the interaction’s role of digital transformation and e-business capabilities. Such relationships have been rarely discussed. In addition, the adoption of a hybrid SEM-AAN approach makes the study an original one.
期刊介绍:
The Asia Pacific Journal of Business Administration (APJBA) publishes original research on: Business Strategy and Policy, Accounting and Board Governance, Marketing and People Management, and Operations and Supply Chain Management. The journal welcomes practical and skill-based submissions in these areas. There is particular interest in submissions regarding: Sustainable Business Practices, Quality Management Practices, Innovation and Creativity in Management, as well as Managing a Learning Organisation. The Asia Pacific region is full of collaborations between government, NGOs and private enterprise. Submissions are welcome which contribute to our understanding of partnerships and the cross-cultural issues. Research methods vary, and the journal is interested in the full diverse of qualitative (case and action research, etc) as well as quantitative survey studies and their recommendations. The APJBA seeks to become a forum for both established scholars and early career researchers in all aspects of management and business in the Asia-Pacific region. Emphasis is on rigour and relevance, on theory and practice, in a globalised scholarly environment.
