Abstract

Purpose

Organisational slack has been widely considered in strategic management, but there is a gap in understanding the process of accumulation and application of slack resources. From a dynamic perspective and over an extended period of time, this paper analyses the management of slack resources and evaluates whether the different behaviours, in relation to the accumulation and consumption of slack resources, have any effect on performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The resource-based view and the dynamic extension of this theory, i.e. resource management and resource orchestration, were analysed in order to evaluate how slack resources can be managed and generate value. Assuming a configurational approach, the analysis was structured into two stages to answer the proposed hypothesis. The first stage studied whether there were different patterns of management of slack resources over time using the DistatisR package. The second stage evaluated which behaviours had the greatest impact in terms of profitability by using a dynamic panel data regression.

Findings

Three different types of slack resource management were found in companies: efficient, effective and erratic. Different types do not have the same impact on performance.

Originality/value

The dynamic management of slack resources has scarcely been considered, even during periods of crisis and economic expansion. This research advances the understanding of how firms transform slack resources into performance from a dynamic perspective.

动态资源管理和闲置资源
目的组织闲置资源在战略管理中已被广泛考虑,但在了解闲置资源的积累和应用过程方面还存在差距。本文从动态的角度,在一个较长的时间段内,分析了松弛资源的管理,并评估了与松弛资源的积累和消耗有关的不同行为是否会对绩效产生影响。设计/方法/途径分析了基于资源的观点及其动态延伸理论,即资源管理和资源协调,以评估如何管理松弛资源并产生价值。分析采用配置方法,分为两个阶段,以回答提出的假设。第一阶段使用 DistatisR 软件包研究了随着时间的推移,松弛资源的管理模式是否有所不同。第二阶段使用动态面板数据回归法评估了哪些行为对盈利能力的影响最大。研究结果在公司中发现了三种不同类型的闲置资源管理:高效、有效和不稳定。原创性/价值即使在危机和经济扩张时期,也很少有人考虑过松弛资源的动态管理。本研究从动态角度推进了对企业如何将闲置资源转化为绩效的理解。
