Building competitive advantages and business success: the role of learning orie...
Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Dias, José G.; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Campos, SusanaPurpose – The complexity of the firm’s external environment, with its constant changes, forces managers to develop novel strategies that can meet new strategic needs. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of reward systems (RSs) in strategic management, as well as their relationship to learning and entrepreneurial orientation (EO), commonly referred to as the driving force behind growth, competitive ...
The link between intellectual capital and business performance: a mediation cha...
Campos, Susana; Dias, José G.; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Correia, Ricardo JorgePurpose – This study focuses on intellectual capital (IC) as a driver of better business performance. Recent studies suggest that a set of variables may mediate this relationship. This research discusses the mediating role of dynamic capabilities, network competence, technological capabilities, absorptive capabilities and innovation performance between intellectual capital and business performance. Design/metho...
Commitment to exporting as an antecedent of organizational skills and firm perf...
Gonçalves, Tânia; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Dias, José G.; Gouveia, Sofia; Correia, Ricardo JorgeThis study proposes the role of leader’s commitment to export activities as an antecedent of specific organizational skills. In particular, this research investigates whether the leaders’ commitment to exporting affects firm performance, through the mediating effect of entrepreneurial orientation, network competence, and dynamic capabilities of a firm, using survey data collected from 976 companies in Portugal....
Dynamic capabilities: antecedents and implications for firms' performance
Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Teixeira, Mário Sérgio; Dias, José G.Purpose – This paper aims to explore a new causal link between learning, market and entrepreneurial orientations and firms’ performance by introducing dynamic capabilities and competitive advantages as mediator variables. Design/methodology/approach – The mediating role of dynamic capabilities and competitive advantages is tested using a sample of 1,190 Portuguese firms, and structural equation models. Findings...
Dynamic capabilities and competitive advantages as mediator variables between m...
Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Dias, José G.; Teixeira, Mário SérgioPurpose – This paper aims to explore a new causal link between market orientation and business performance by introducing dynamic capabilities as a mediator of the relationship between market orientation and competitive advantages, which ultimately determine business performance. Design/methodology/approach – The mediating roles of dynamic capabilities and competitive advantages are tested with a sample of 1,19...
Determinants of firm performance: a structural equation approach
Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Dias, José G.; Teixeira, Mário SérgioThis research analyzes specific determinants of firm Performance taking the Resource Based View (RBV) theory to explaining how firms achieve sustained competitive advantages based on their VRIN (valuable, rare, inimitable and not replaceable) resources and capabilities (BARNEY, 1991). TEECE et al. (1997) introduced the concept of Dynamic Capabilities (DC) as an RBV extension. Our conceptual model defines these ...
Determinants of firm performance: a structural equation approach
Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Dias, José G.; Teixeira, Mário SérgioThis research analyzes specific determinants of firm Performance (FP) taking the Resource Based View (RBV) theory into account. Our conceptual model defines the Dynamic Capabilities (DC) as the result of firm’s Learning (LO), Market (MO) and Entrepreneurial Orientations (EO), which mediate the development of Competitive Advantages (CA) and improving firm Performance (FP). For the first time, the mediator role o...
Probabilistic clustering of interval data
Brito, Paula; Silva, A. Pedro Duarte; Dias, José G.In this paper we address the problem of clustering interval data, adopting a model-based approach. To this purpose, parametric models for interval-valued variables are used which consider configurations for the variance-covariance matrix that take the nature of the interval data directly into account. Results, both on synthetic and empirical data, clearly show the well-founding of the proposed approach. The met...
Firm Performance and Modes of Innovation
Nunes, S.; Lopes, R.; Dias, José G.It has been shown that firms tend to develop different modes of innovation, based on the relationship between the different types of underlying knowledge and learning processes. This paper seeks to identify different modes of business innovation, relating them to firms’ innovative and economic performance, and to analyze the relationship between the different innovation modes and the economic impact of the cris...
Identifying Special Structures in Interval-Data via Model-Base Clustering
Brito, Paula; Duarte Silva, A. P.; Dias, José G.In this paper we present a model-based approach to the clustering of interval data building on recently proposed parametric models. These methods consider configurations for the variance-covariance matrix that take the nature of the interval data directly into account. The proposed framework relies on parametrizations considering the inherent variability of the relevant data units and the relation that may exis...
