Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capabilities (DCs) to settle the problem of how and why a firm could achieve successful resilience under the context of the COVID-19.Design/methodology/approach: A survey was conducted among 596 Chinese firms, and a structural equation model was applied.Findings/results: The empirical results indicate that both valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable (VRIN) and non-VRIN resources can promote better organisational resilience (OR). Moreover, DCs could mediate the relationship between the RBV and OR. Specifically, DCs could fully mediate the connection between non-VRIN resources and OR, while they can only partially mediate the relationship between VRIN resources and OR.Practical implications: The results of this study provide recommendations for how to proceed in environments where significant crises and outbreaks may occur. These findings are useful for business decision-making and enabling companies to develop new business strategies.Originality/value: Previous studies have investigated the drivers of OR from the perception of business strategies and practices. This study is the first to empirically test DCs as intermediary variable from RBV to promote the resilience of enterprises in the context of COVID-19.

利用资源和动态能力增强2019冠状病毒病期间的组织弹性

目的:本研究的目的是探讨资源基础观点(RBV)和动态能力(DCs)的有效性，以解决企业在COVID-19背景下如何以及为什么能够成功实现弹性的问题。设计/方法/途径:对596家中国企业进行调查，采用结构方程模型。发现/结果:实证结果表明，有价值、稀有、不可模仿和不可替代资源(VRIN)和非VRIN资源都能促进更好的组织弹性(OR)。此外，dc可以调节RBV和OR之间的关系。具体来说，dc可以完全调解非VRIN资源与OR之间的连接，而只能部分调解VRIN资源与OR之间的关系。实际影响:本研究的结果为如何在可能发生重大危机和疫情的环境中开展工作提供了建议。这些发现对业务决策和使公司能够制定新的业务战略非常有用。原创性/价值:以前的研究从商业战略和实践的感知来调查OR的驱动因素。本研究首次实证检验了dc作为RBV促进新冠肺炎背景下企业弹性的中介变量。

期刊介绍： The South African Journal of Business Management publishes articles that have real significance for management theory and practice. The content of the journal falls into two categories: managerial theory and management practice: -Management theory is devoted to reporting new methodological developments, whether analytical or philosophical. In general, papers should, in addition to developing a new theory, include some discussion of applications, either historical or potential. Both state-of-the-art surveys and papers discussing new developments are appropriate for this category. -Management practice concerns the methodology involved in applying scientific knowledge. It focusses on the problems of developing and converting management theory to practice while considering behavioural and economic realities. Papers should reflect the mutual interest of managers and management scientists in the exercise of the management function. Appropriate papers may include examples of implementations that generalise experience rather than specific incidents and facts, and principles of model development and adaptation that underline successful application of particular aspects of management theory. The relevance of the paper to the professional manager should be highlighted as far as possible.
