Abstract

In innovative SMEs, the CEO is the main decision-maker for digital transformation (DT). This study focuses on the specific microfoundations of CEOs’ dynamic managerial capabilities (DMCs) by examining how their general expertise, digital expertise, external connectivity, and empowering leadership influence DT. Additionally, based on upper echelons theory, we also examine how CEO tenure and age moderate the relationship between the CEO’s DMCs and DT. Finally, we investigate the link between DT and new product development (NPD) performance. Using survey and archival data from innovative Spanish SMEs, we present three main findings: (1) DMCs enable DT in a non-uniform manner, (2) CEO tenure and age impact some of the positive effects of DMCs on DT, and (3) DT improves NPD performance. Our results provide several scholarly and managerial implications and directions for future research.

创新型中小企业数字化转型的动态管理能力：对新产品开发绩效的影响

在创新型中小企业中，CEO是数字化转型（DT）的主要决策者。本研究通过考察ceo的一般专业知识、数字专业知识、外部连接和授权领导如何影响动态管理能力，重点研究ceo动态管理能力的具体微观基础。此外，基于上层梯队理论，我们还考察了CEO任期和年龄如何调节CEO dmc与DT之间的关系。最后，我们研究了DT与新产品开发（NPD）绩效之间的联系。利用西班牙创新型中小企业的调查和档案数据，我们提出了三个主要发现：(1)dmc以非统一的方式实现了DT， (2) CEO任期和年龄影响了dmc对DT的一些积极影响，(3)DT提高了NPD绩效。我们的研究结果为未来的研究提供了一些学术和管理意义和方向。
