Abstract

PurposeThis study examines how dynamic capabilities (DCs) impact global value chain (GVC) upgrading and assesses the mediating role of innovation.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a quantitative research method. The data are collected using an online questionnaire administered to respondents working in Chinese automobile manufacturers in China and Laos. The data are analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and related software.FindingsThe results show that DCs and innovation capabilities (ICs) positively affect GVC upgrading and that ICs plays a mediating role between DC and GVC upgrading. Dynamic capabilities evolution (CE) mediates the relationship between DCs, ICs and GVC upgrading. Finally, differences exist in the effects of the three dimensions of DCs on ICs and GVC upgrading.Practical implicationsFocusing on the absorption and transformation of knowledge, enterprises could experience a clear enhancement of IC and CE and be more likely to obtain higher marginal returns. The study provides insights for emerging market firms to gain higher added value in internationalization.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates that different dimensions of DCs have different effects on GVC upgrading. In terms of theory, the impact of IC is considered in terms of the mediating effect of CE on IC. Differences are highlighted concerning the impact of learning capability, integrating and coordinating capability and sensing capability on the mediated relationships.

动态能力与全球价值链升级之间的关系：创新能力的中介作用

目的研究动态能力对全球价值链升级的影响，并评估创新的中介作用。这项研究采用了定量研究方法。数据是通过在线问卷收集的，调查对象是在中国和老挝的中国汽车制造商工作的受访者。利用结构方程模型(SEM)和相关软件对数据进行分析。结果表明:创新能力和创新能力对全球价值链升级具有正向影响，创新能力在创新能力与全球价值链升级之间起中介作用。动态能力演化(CE)在DCs、ic和GVC升级之间起中介作用。最后，DCs的三个维度对集成集成和全球价值链升级的影响存在差异。实践启示关注知识的吸收和转化，企业的集成集成和集成集成明显增强，更有可能获得更高的边际收益。该研究为新兴市场企业在国际化中获得更高的附加值提供了参考。独创性/价值研究表明，不同维度的发展中国家对全球价值链升级的影响不同。在理论方面，我们从学习能力对学习能力的中介作用来考虑学习能力的影响。学习能力、整合协调能力和感知能力对中介关系的影响存在显著差异。
