Purpose: This study discusses the phenomenon of the uncertain sustainability of SMEs in developing countries. SMEs face various challenges in the dynamics of a competitive environment, which threaten their growth and sustainability. This study aims to address a research gap between company's internal resources, in the form of absorptive capacity, and its business performance. By using product quality as a mediator, which has never been studied before, this research presents a novelty to answer the existing research gap using the Resource Based Theory (RBT) perspective. Research design, data and methodology: Using quantitative method, data are collected from 164 respondents, who are owners or managers of furniture manufacturing SMEs in Gerbangkertosusila Area, East Java, Indonesia. The data are analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) - Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results: The findings show that absorptive capacity has a direct and significant effect on business performance and indirectly through product quality. Conclusion: Furniture manufacturing SMEs are advised to focus on developing absorptive capacity reflected in good product quality, in order to improve their business performance. This is especially important to survive the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the results of this study contribute to the development of RBT, and there are several suggestions for further research.

This paper aims to explore the strategic roles of information and strategic planning capabilities for firms' performance, and to examine the direct and indirect relationships between information capability, strategic planning capability, logistics performance and competitive advantage. The present research adopts resource based theory (RBT) to explore the relationships between a firm's specific capability and its performance and employs structural equation modelling (SEM) in order to test the validation of the measurement models and examine the relationships between construct variables. The current empirical test was conducted using the data collected from logistics managers of 101 Korean electronics companies. The empirical research presents positive influential relationships between (1) information/planning formality capability and strategic planning capability; (2) strategic planning capability and logistics performance; (3) logistics performance and competitive advantage; and (4) competitive advantage and competitive position in the market.

본 연구는 OTT 경쟁이 치열하게 펼쳐지는 국내시장에서 토종 사업자인 '티빙(TVING)'의 경쟁력을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 자원준거이론에 따라 티빙의 핵심 경영자원들을 살펴보고, VRIO 분석 모형에 따라 이러한 자원들의 경쟁력을 검토하였다. 분석 결과, 티빙의 유형 자원은 기술(추천, 압축), 콘텐츠(오리지널, 독점, 차별적 비독점), 제작 스튜디오, 유료가입자수로 분류되었다. 무형자원은 기획력(IP 개발·활용), 콘텐츠 유통채널(국내, 글로벌), 마케팅(프로모션·홍보, 세일즈), 브랜드로 파악되었고, 인적 자원은 IP 전문성으로 확인되었다. 또한 VRIO 분석틀에 적용했을 때, 차별적 비독점 콘텐츠와 제작 스튜디오, 국내 유통채널은 '지속적 경쟁우위'를 발생시키는 티빙의 강력한 경영자원이었으며, 기술 자원과 오리지널 콘텐츠, 콘텐츠 기획력 및 IT 전문성은 '일시적으로 경쟁우위'를 갖는 자원으로 확인되었다. 독점 콘텐츠와 유료가입자수, 글로벌 유통 채널, 프로모션·홍보 부분은 '경쟁등위' 자원이었으며, 세일즈 분야는 통신사 제휴와 합병을 통해 잠재고객을 확보했음에도 불구하고 아직 조직적으로 활용하지 못하는 '비활용 경쟁우위' 자원으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 경영전략 관점에서 국내 OTT 사업자의 개별 자원을 살펴보고 이를 통해 경쟁력 강화 방안을 제안하는 초기 연구로서 의의를 지닌다.

Purpose: The current research investigates the beneficial impacts of supply chain innovation and risk management on the competitive advantage of organizations, based on the resource-based theory (RBT) framework. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: 14 survey items were included in the study's questionnaire, utilizing a random sampling technique to gather data from 239 leaders and managers employed by various steel trading firms in Vietnam. In order to validate the data and examine relationships, the collected data is analyzed using structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis via SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 software. A fictitious system has been suggested. Results: According to the findings, the most positive influence on competitive advantage is supply chain innovation, followed by risk management capability, having the second greatest positive influence. Conclusions: Some conclusions are drawn based on the research's findings in order to assist managers in realizing the significance and necessity of giving attention to supply chain innovation and improving risk management capabilities, both of which are essential components for achieving the competitive advantage of an organization.

Industrial revolution 4.0 makes business competition more challenging and will impact the instability of the company's financial performance. Dynamic environmental conditions make it difficult for companies to make predictions in making decisions. Investing in information technology (IT) is one way for companies to maintain financial stability and competitive advantage in dynamic competition. Resource-Based Theory (RBT) explains that information technology (IT) is a resource that can create a competitive advantage for the company. This study aims to examine the moderating role of dynamic industrial environments and IT strategic emphasis on the relationship between a lag effect of IT investment and firm's financial performance volatility. Using the data of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for five years starting from 2013-2017, the method used to estimate the research model's parameters is the generalized method of moments (GMM) approach. The results show that the industrial environment and the emphasis on IT strategy have a role in moderating and strengthening the relationship between the time lag in IT investment in reducing the firm's financial performance volatility.
