Resumo: | Dynamic Capabilities enable companies to change and reconfigure their strategies in order to adapt to the ever-changing business environment. As business markets become more turbulent with rapid technological development, it is crucial that firms develop Dynamic Capabilities in order to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage, especially Small Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) which are more vulnerable to competition and market changes. Given the importance of Dynamic Capabilities in today’s economy, the purpose of this dissertation is to understand the role of Strategic Flexibility as a Dynamic Capability in the development of organizational capabilities. This study aims to explore the indirect effect between Strategic Flexibility and Firm Performance through three organizational capabilities: Organizational learning, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Orientation in SMEs. In order to test our conceptual model, we collected data from 180 SMEs and conducted a quantitative study through surveys. Our contributions to the field are twofold. First, we developed a unique and distinctive model to assess the indirect relationship between Strategic Flexibility and Firm Performance. And second, we realized the value of Organizational Learning as a mediating variable as it strengthens the relationship between Strategic Flexibility and Firm Performance. |

À medida que os mercados de negócios se tornam mais turbulentos com o rápido desenvolvimento tecnológico, é crucial que as empresas desenvolvam Capacidades Dinâmicas para manter uma vantagem competitiva sustentável, especialmente pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs), que são mais vulneráveis à concorrência e às mudanças do mercado. Dada a importância das Capacidades Dinâmicas na economia atual, o objetivo desta dissertação é compreender o papel da Flexibilidade Estratégica - Capacidade Dinâmica - no desenvolvimento de capacidades organizacionais. Deste modo, este estudo visa explorar os efeitos indiretos da Flexibilidade Estratégica na Performance de PMEs por meio da Aprendizagem Organizacional, do Empreendedorismo, e da Orientação à Inovação. Para testar o nosso modelo conceptual, reunimos dados de 180 PMEs e realizamos um estudo quantitativo, através de aplicação de questionários. As contribuições deste trabalho para a área de estudo são duplas. Em primeiro lugar, desenvolvemos um modelo único e distinto para avaliar a relação indireta entre Flexibilidade Estratégica e a Performance da empresa. Em segundo lugar, percebemos a importância da Aprendizagem Organizacional como variável mediadora uma vez que fortalece a relação entre Flexibilidade Estratégica e a Performance.2021-01-26T11:06:56Z2020-12-03T00:00:00Z2020-12-032020-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/21534TID:202573214engGayo, Michelle Adriana Hunguanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:41:35Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/21534Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:19:21.184046Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
