Abstract

PurposeThe study proposes and evaluates a parsimonious research framework by integrating the major strategic theories related to an international firm's internal dynamics. This research's essence lies in the proposition that organizational competencies, knowledge resources and processes, absorptive capacity and innovativeness form the underlying base for sustainable competitive advantage in this dynamic world.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional explanatory research design is adopted. Using the quantitative data obtained from the sample of Indian international joint ventures (IJVs), partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is deployed to confirm the proposed relationships among the research constructs. Finally, qualitative interviews helped in triangulating the primary survey's results.FindingsA well-established relationship between knowledge transfer and innovation is negated by the Indian IJVs' data, which is delved deeper with cross-industry qualitative analysis. The novel hierarchical model with multiple mediations has nurtured quite exciting results for the business world with some significant theoretical and managerial implications.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has investigated the nexus between multi-dimensional organizational competencies, knowledge transfer, absorptive capacity and venture innovativeness in the context of Indian IJVs. It has emphasized the role of internal dynamics in cross-cultural joint ventures to attain sustainable competitiveness through strategic and technological efficiency.Originality/valueThe study has addressed the specific research gap of under-investigation of dynamic capabilities and sustainable competitiveness in international joint ventures. It has investigated a complex model of multiple mediations, yielding interesting quantitative results with qualitative insights; which is rare to match in literature.
揭示内部动力在创新竞争力路径中的作用:国际合资企业的系列中介模型
目的本研究通过整合与国际企业内部动态相关的主要战略理论,提出并评估了一个简约的研究框架。这项研究的本质在于,组织能力、知识资源和流程、吸收能力和创新能力构成了这个充满活力的世界中可持续竞争优势的基础。设计/方法/方法采用横断面解释性研究设计。利用从印度国际合资企业(IJVs)样本中获得的定量数据,采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)来证实所提出的研究结构之间的关系。最后,定性访谈有助于对初步调查结果进行三角分析。发现印度合资企业的数据否定了知识转移和创新之间的既定关系,该数据通过跨行业定性分析进行了更深入的研究。具有多重中介的新型层次模型为商业界带来了相当令人兴奋的结果,并具有一些重要的理论和管理意义。研究局限性/含义本研究调查了印度合资企业背景下多维组织能力、知识转移、吸收能力和风险创新性之间的关系。它强调了内部动力在跨文化合资企业中的作用,以通过战略和技术效率获得可持续竞争力。原创性/价值本研究解决了国际合资企业动态能力和可持续竞争力调查不足的具体研究空白。它研究了一个复杂的多重中介模型,产生了有趣的定量结果和定性见解;这在文学上是罕见的。

期刊介绍: Cross Cultural & Strategic Management (CCSM), is dedicated to providing a forum for the publication of high quality cross-cultural and strategic management research in the global context. CCSM is interdisciplinary in nature and welcomes submissions from scholars from international business, management and other disciplines, such as anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology. The goal of CCSM is to publish discerning, theoretically grounded, evidence-based and cutting edge research on issues relevant to all aspects of global management. CCSM is especially interested in theoretical and empirical papers that investigate new and unique ideas and/or are multilevel (micro-meso-macro) and/or are multidisciplinary in nature. Research papers submitted to CCSM are expected to include an answer to the question: What is the contribution of this paper to the literature and the field of international business and managing in the global context? CCSM accepts theoretical/conceptual and empirical papers based on quantitative and qualitative research endeavors that advance our overall knowledge of international business. This includes research that yields positive, neutral or negative findings as long as these studies are based on sound research methodology, and have a good command of the theory/literature that pertains to the phenomena under investigation. These studies should also provide a more in-depth interpretation of the reason(s) for the findings and include more detailed recommendations for future research directions.
