From the perspective of the resource-based view, this paper constructs a relationship model among intergenerational succession, enterprise intellectual capital and market sustainable competitive advantage. Based on the data of a sample of 189 entrepreneurs from family firms in Zhejiang Province, we use multiple regression and structural equation modeling to explore the impact of intergenerational succession on the market sustainable competitive advantage of family firms and the mediating role of the three dimensions of the firm’s intellectual capital, namely, structural capital, relational capital and human capital. The empirical results show that (1) successful succession of a family business significantly promotes the market sustainable competitive advantage of the enterprise; (2) successful succession has a significant promotion effect on the three dimensions of enterprise intellectual capital, and the three dimensions of enterprise intellectual capital play a partial mediating role between intergenerational succession and the market sustainable competitive advantage of the enterprises. This conclusion expands the research on the consequences of intergenerational succession and has important practical significance for the healthy development of family enterprises in China.KEYWORDS: Family businessintergenerational successionintellectual capitalsustainable competitive advantage Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Wenzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau [23WSKZD03-02].","PeriodicalId":46235,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business-To-Business Marketing","volume":"78 13","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135221266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the present study also explores the contingency conditions between VBS capability and sales performance.Design/methodology/approach This study tested the model hypotheses by applying partial least squares regression to a sample of 186 sales directors or managers of service or product providers in China.Findings Four service-oriented resources in the organization – service-oriented human resource management practices (human), inter-departmental service collaboration (relational), service technology (informational), and end-to-end service processes and standards (organizational) – have a positive impact on VBS capability. In turn, VBS capability positively impacts sales performance, while customer needs complexity and competitive intensity positively moderate the relationship between the preceding two factors.Research limitations/implications This study tested the model hypotheses using cross-sectional subjective data for a single country.Practical implications The results suggest that providers should develop the VBS capability (embodied in understanding customer business, crafting the value proposition, communicating customer value, and verifying value-in-use) to secure a competitive advantage in the marketplace, in conjunction with building and leveraging their service-oriented resources to help VBS capability improve a comparative advantage. In particular, VBS capability tends to be more effective when customer needs are more complex, or the intensity of competition amongst enterprises is high.Originality/value This study conceptualizes and operationalizes the organizational value-based selling capability. Based on the resource-advantage theory, we identified and examined the critical role of four operant resources in forming VBS capability and the moderating effects of two factors related to customer and competitor between VBS capability and sales performance. This study advances and contributes to the existing research on selling capability, value-based selling, and B2B sales management.KEYWORDS: Value-based selling capabilityservice-oriented resourcessales performancecustomer needs complexitycompetitive intensityresource-advantage theorycustomer valueB2B sales Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1.
