Summary: This paper explores the influence of dynamic capability strategy on export performance of firms from an emerging market using the theoretical lenses of Resource Based View and Dynamic Capability. The empirical findings suggest that dynamic marketing capability is a second-order latent construct consisting of proactive market orientation, brand management capability, new product development capability, and customer relationship management capability. The study also identifies three clusters of firms and shows that enthusiastic embracers achieve better performance.

Summary: With the changes in market environments and the development of digital technology, enterprises urgently need to develop the capability to adapt to profound changes in strategy and business processes. This study found that strategic orientation has a positive impact on a digital transformation capability, and that digital transformation capability has a positive impact on operational performance, playing a mediating role between the two. Enterprises need to focus on building their own digital transformation capabilities to create new enterprise value.

Summary: As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more widespread, high-tech firms have adopted AI applications to tackle emerging challenges. This study aims to explore the impact of employees' intention to adopt AI applications and the firms' big data analytical capability on operational performance. The findings show that employees' intention to adopt AI applications is positively related to integration capability and team collaboration, while big data analytical capability is positively related to integration capability but not to team collaboration. Furthermore, both integration capability and team collaboration are positively correlated with operational performance, with integration capability mediating the influence of big data analytical capability on operational performance. The study highlights the importance of employees' intention to adopt AI applications and big data analytical capability in achieving high operational performances.

Summary: The direct impact of digital platforms on organizational efficiency, financial performance, and strategy is receiving significant attention from researchers. However, the complex mechanisms and pathways by which digital platforms enhance transformation capacity are still unclear at the global and Asia Pacific levels. This study empirically explores how digital platforms improve organizational innovation performance using dynamic capability theory. The findings demonstrate that digital platform capability enhances an organization's dynamism and innovation performance. Additionally, innovation capability and strategic alignment indirectly influence digital platform capability and innovation performance. The study presents a conceptual model from a dynamic capability perspective, rather than a resource-based view, and tests it using data from 153 Pakistani manufacturing firms.

Summary: Market orientation and technological capability are critical determinants of firm performance, but there is a lack of research on how they are connected. This study fills this gap by adopting the Resource-based view and Dynamic capability as theoretical frameworks. The findings show the importance of aligning a firm's technological resources and marketing orientation to generate new insights, better communication, and coordination in response to changing market needs. The empirical data was collected from key personnel in Indian firms. The results reveal the mediating effect of market orientation on the relationship between technological capability and firm performance.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationship between external integration, resilience, innovation capability, and logistics service providers' operational performance. It also examines the mediating effects of sustainable logistics and innovation capability between external integration and operational performance. The findings show that external integration has a positive relationship with logistics resilience and innovation capability, which positively impact LSPs' operational performance. Additionally, innovation capability mediates the relationship between external integration and operational performance, but logistics resilience does not play a mediating role.

Summary: This study explores the impact of operational coordination on mass customization capability (MCC) through organizational agility, customer need diversity, and competitive intensity. The results show that organizational agility partially mediates the relationship between operational coordination and MCC, and customer need diversity moderates this relationship. Additionally, competitive intensity moderates the relationship between organizational agility and service-oriented MCC.

Summary: This study examines the risk management strategies of manufacturers in the soybean processing industry. The findings suggest that financial hedging complements spot trading and the combined strategy brings synergistic benefits. Additionally, asymmetric risk management equilibria may arise due to strategy differentiation. When all four strategies are available, financial hedging should be adopted, while spot trading should not be used alone.

Summary: This paper uses social identity theory to investigate the mediating effects of extrinsic religiosity and perceived role of religious leaders in the impact of consumers' intrinsic religiosity on perceived value of brands endorsed by religious leaders. The findings show that intrinsic religiosity has a direct positive effect on extrinsic religiosity, which in turn mediates the effect of intrinsic religiosity on the perceived value of the brands endorsed by religious leaders. However, extrinsic religiosity has a significant positive effect on the perceived value of these brands through the perceived role of religious leaders in India but not in Indonesia.

Summary: The asymmetric market power between a firm and its partners negatively affects the firm's financial performance. Building relationships with suppliers or customers that have matched market power is the best approach. The strength of the buyer-supplier relationship amplifies the negative impact of asymmetric market power, while the level of relationship embeddedness reduces its negative effect. Moreover, firm-specific institutional, industry, and regional economic heterogeneities also influence the financial impact of asymmetric market power.

Summary: The One-Warehouse Multi-Retailer (OWMR) system is a typical distribution and inventory system. Previous research has focused on heuristic reordering and allocation strategies, which are time-consuming and problem-specific. This paper proposes a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm for OWMR problems, which infers a multi-discrete action distribution and improves performance with a random rationing policy.

Summary: Omnichannel retailers are using stores as distribution centers to provide faster online order fulfillment services. However, in-store picking operations can impact the offline customer experience. To address this, we propose a Dynamic In-store Picker Routing Problem (diPRP) that minimizes customer encounters while fulfilling online orders. Our solution approach combines mathematical programming and reinforcement learning to find efficient picking policies that reduce customer encounters.

Summary: This research conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) and content analysis on Supply Chain Coopetition (SCC) through the PRISMA framework. It examines the theory of coopetition and organizational relationships in intra-firm and inter-firm supply chains, focusing on collaboration between rival manufacturers. The study identifies structures and mechanisms of coopetition, such as buyer-supplier coopetition, supply networks coopetition, and production and distribution/logistics coopetition. It provides a holistic approach to SCC management practices and serves as a guide for future research.
