Abstract

Purpose

The dynamism of competition in international markets requires managers to react accordingly and ensure the firm's survival and competitiveness. This study examines the impact of cognitive styles and dynamic managerial capabilities (DMC) on a firm's international performance and the mediating role of these capabilities in the relationship between cognitive styles and international performance.

Design/methodology/approach

This study adopts a quantitative cross-sectional research design, employing a sample of 306 firm owner-managers from exporting companies in Kosovo.

Findings

The findings suggest that managers' cognitive styles positively influence firm international performance, including their impact on DMC. Results also indicate that only managerial cognition mediates cognitive styles' effects on a firm's international performance, compared to managers' social capital.

Originality/value

In this study, the authors contribute to the literature by integrating cognitive styles with DMC in a transition country. Moreover, the authors demonstrate that DMC mediate the impact of cognitive styles on the firm international performance.

目的国际市场竞争的动态性要求管理者做出相应的反应，确保企业的生存和竞争力。本研究探讨了认知风格和动态管理能力（DMC）对企业国际绩效的影响，以及这些能力在认知风格和国际绩效之间关系中的中介作用。本研究采用定量横截面研究设计，以科索沃出口公司的 306 名公司所有者-管理者为样本。研究结果还表明，与管理者的社会资本相比，只有管理者的认知能够调节认知风格对企业国际绩效的影响。此外，作者还证明了 DMC 对认知风格对企业国际绩效的影响具有中介作用。
