Abstract

The main focus of the current study is to investigate the moderating role of operational control in the relationship between entrepreneurial activity and innovation performance. The present research aims to observe the association between antecedents and operations control mechanism, innovation performance, and corporate entrepreneurship. Innovation performance is defined as the extent of a firms’ level of attained success in achieving technologically innovative and product market goals. A theoretical base of current study states that there is no contradiction among the operations control mechanism and corporate entrepreneurship interests. The SEM-PLS is employed as a statistical tool to analyze the data. The current data revealed that strong positive influence of risk control as moderator was found on the innovation performance and organizational boundaries relationship, and a strong negative effect on the organizations’ innovation performance and time availability relationship. Thus, the possible influence caused by operation control variables must also be acknowledged. The recent research suggested that innovation should be taken and treated by managers as a responsive process for a disciplined and structured supervision. In addition, undertaking innovative initiatives require managers to deliberately construct and understand the means of generating desirable innovation outcomes.

Abstract

The current study has placed an effort to disclose the application of the social capital theory in the supply chain. The Thai global buyers’ firms are taken as the final sample of the study. The SEM-PLS is used to analyze the data.  It has been revealed in the present research that the focus of social capital is on the creation and knowledge sharing within and across the organizations. This is also indicated by the current research. It has been argued by the prior studies that the use of different organization and outcomes of social capital will benefit the future research including the factors of cost, quality, and flexibility. It has been indicated by the results of current research that social capital theory can be applied to the relation of buyer and supplier with reference to the development of supplier. The statement that there is need for more investigation for the various dimensions of social capital related to relational embeddedness, structural embeddedness and cognitive dimension. It is found that the achievements of buyer performance in the form of total cost is explained by the relational capital in terms of buyer-supplier dependence and cognitive capital in shared values, and structural capital in terms of activities of supplier development. Cognitive capital and relationship commitment are the common explanatory variables for the both performance dimensions.
