Abstract

Challenges in the business environment are typically categorized as threats or opportunities. Firms develop dynamic capabilities to cope with these challenges and improve strategic fit. However, evidence of a causal relationship between unpredictable environmental challenges (jolts) and dynamic capabilities is inconclusive. This study explores how information about positive (opportunity) and negative (threat) jolts communicated via two information sources affects dynamic capabilities. A 2 × 2 experiment was conducted among 131 managers. The findings indicate that human-based information sources dominate web-based information sources, particularly when the information reveals potential threats. The use of human information sources is associated with stronger dynamic capabilities than reliance on web information sources. Moreover, the findings confirm that the manifestation of dynamic capabilities differs between opportunities and threats.

环境冲击和信息来源对动态能力的不同影响

商业环境中的挑战通常分为威胁和机遇两类。企业发展动态能力是为了应对这些挑战，提高战略契合度。然而，关于不可预测的环境挑战（冲击）与动态能力之间因果关系的证据尚无定论。本研究探讨了通过两种信息来源传达的有关积极（机遇）和消极（威胁）冲击的信息如何影响动态能力。在 131 名管理人员中进行了 2 × 2 实验。研究结果表明，以人为基础的信息源在网络信息源中占主导地位，尤其是当信息揭示潜在威胁时。与依赖网络信息源相比，使用人工信息源与更强的动态能力相关。此外，研究结果还证实，在机遇和威胁之间，动态能力的表现形式有所不同。
