摘要

本文旨在解释敏捷性能力(能力，灵活性，响应能力和速度)如何影响提高中小企业(SME)竞争地位的机会，以市场份额和利润来衡量。设计/方法/方法将组织敏捷性与竞争力结合起来，作者分析了中小企业在敏捷能力领域的活动——能力、灵活性、响应性和速度——如何影响提高其竞争地位的机会。使用计算机辅助个人访谈法(CAPI)从波兰的1,286家中小企业收集数据。为了分析数据，作者使用了逻辑回归和优势比。研究结果为中小企业敏捷能力与竞争地位之间的关系提供了实证证据。首先，研究结果表明，所有研究的敏捷性能力对中小企业的竞争地位都有积极的影响。其次，研究表明，寻求增加市场份额需要特别注意灵活性，其影响略高于其他变量。第三，研究结果表明，提高盈利能力的动力需要对反应能力和能力的欣赏。原创性/价值这些文献包含了很多关于敏捷能力和公司竞争地位之间关系的讨论。然而，这些研究涉及的是大公司，而中小企业之间的敏捷性能力和竞争地位之间的关系的问题仍然主要没有答案，这考虑到中小企业对经济增长的贡献，似乎很难理解。虽然小公司本质上是高度灵活的，但由于公司的运营规模和扁平化和分散化的结构，公司的竞争潜力是有限的，因为有限的资源可用于开发变革程序。

A new angle on SMEs' competitiveness. How do agility capabilities affect a firm's competitive position?

PurposeThe paper aims to explain how agility capabilities (competence, flexibility, responsiveness and speed) influence the chance of improving a small and medium-sized enterprise's (SME's) competitive position, measured by market share and profit.Design/methodology/approachCombining organisational agility with competitiveness, the authors analysed how an SME's activities in the field of agility capabilities – competence, flexibility, responsiveness and speed – influence the chance of improving their competitive position. Data were collected from 1,286 SMEs from Poland using the computer-assisted personal interviews method (CAPI). To analyse the data, the authors used logistic regression and odds ratios.FindingsThe study provides empirical evidence of the relationship between agility capabilities and an SME's competitive position. First, the results suggest that all the studied agility capabilities positively impact SMEs' competitive position. Second, the study shows that seeking to increase market share requires particular attention to flexibility, the impact of which is slightly higher than that of the other variables. Third, the findings suggest that the drive to increase profitability requires an appreciation of responsiveness and competence.Originality/valueThe literature contains much discussion about the relationship between agility capabilities and a company's competitive position. However, these studies refer to large companies, whilst the question of the relationship between agility capabilities and competitive position amongst SMEs remains mainly unanswered, which given SMEs' contribution to the creation of economic growth, seems difficult to understand. Although small companies are by nature highly flexible, due to the size of the companies' operations and flattened and decentralised structure, companies' competitive potential is limited as a result of the limited resources that can be devoted to developing procedures for change.

期刊介绍： ■Adapting strategic planning to the need for change ■Leadership research ■Responsibility for change implementation and follow-through ■The psychology of change and its effect on the workforce ■TQM - will it work in your organization? Successful organizations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources - all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organizations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic and alarming thing - this journal addresses how to manage it positively.
