Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to examine the influence of organizational flexibility (OF) and shared vision (SV) on sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) with the mediation role of responsible innovation (RI) in the manufacturing industry of a developing country. Furthermore, big data analytics capability (BDAC) serves as a moderator between RI and SCA.Design/methodology/approachThe study's hypotheses are investigated using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. Through simple random sampling, information was gathered from 247 owners/managers of manufacturing SMEs.FindingsThe results elucidate that OF and SV significantly determine RI and SCA. Moreover, RI significantly mediates between SV, OF and SCA. Besides, RI significantly determines SCA. BDAC significantly leads to SCA. Finally, BDAC significantly moderates between RI and SCA.Research limitations/implicationsRI is crucial for manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to gain SCA and BDAC is important to address the changing demands of consumers for environment-friendly products. This study gives the public an overview of the different degrees to which SMEs are embracing RI and BDAC; with more environment-friendly initiatives, the natural environment will become more sustainable. Environmental sustainability will benefit each individual living in society.Originality/valueThis study adds value to the existing literature by focusing on predictors that affect SCA. Using dynamic capability theory, this initial study examines the influence of SV and OF on SCA and RI as mediators. Furthermore, BDAC is used as a moderating variable between RI and SCA. Managers, students and researchers can benefit from this study.

负责任的创新和可持续竞争优势：大数据是缺失的一环吗？

目的本研究旨在考察发展中国家制造业中组织灵活性（OF）和共同愿景（SV）对可持续竞争优势（SCA）的影响，以及责任创新（RI）的中介作用。此外，大数据分析能力（BDAC）是 RI 与 SCA 之间的调节因子。通过简单随机抽样，收集了 247 名制造业中小企业所有者/管理者的信息。结果结果表明，OF 和 SV 显著决定了 RI 和 SCA。此外，RI 对 SV、OF 和 SCA 起着重要的中介作用。此外，RI 在很大程度上决定了 SCA。BDAC 明显导致 SCA。最后，BDAC 在 RI 和 SCA 之间起着重要的调节作用。研究局限性/意义RI 对于中小型制造企业获得 SCA 至关重要，而 BDAC 对于满足消费者对环境友好型产品不断变化的需求也很重要。本研究向公众概述了中小型企业在不同程度上接受 RI 和 BDAC 的情况；随着更多环境友好型举措的实施，自然环境将变得更加可持续。环境的可持续发展将惠及生活在社会中的每个人。原创性/价值本研究通过关注影响 SCA 的预测因素，为现有文献增添了价值。利用动态能力理论，这项初步研究探讨了 SV 和 OF 对 SCA 的影响，以及作为中介的 RI。此外，BDAC 被用作 RI 和 SCA 之间的调节变量。管理人员、学生和研究人员都可以从这项研究中受益。

期刊介绍： Business processes are a fundamental building block of organizational success. Even though effectively managing business process is a key activity for business prosperity, there remain considerable gaps in understanding how to drive efficiency through a process approach. Building a clear and deep understanding of the range process, how they function, and how to manage them is the major challenge facing modern business. Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) examines how a variety of business processes intrinsic to organizational efficiency and effectiveness are integrated and managed for competitive success. BPMJ builds a deep appreciation of how to manage business processes effectively by disseminating best practice. Coverage includes: BPM in eBusiness, eCommerce and eGovernment Web-based enterprise application integration eBPM, ERP, CRM, ASP & SCM Knowledge management and learning organization Methodologies, techniques and tools of business process modeling, analysis and design Techniques of moving from one-shot business process re-engineering to continuous improvement Best practices in BPM Performance management Tools and techniques of change management BPM case studies.
