目的--战略柔性在很大程度上被认为是竞争优势的来源，但与组织资源和知识管理(KM)过程能力相关的战略柔性却没有得到很好的研究。为了解决这一差距，本研究旨在通过知识管理过程能力来评估组织资源(技术资源和社会资源)与战略柔性的关系。设计/方法论/途径-本文建立在企业的资源观和动态能力观的假设基础上。从相关文献中确定了两种类型的组织资源--技术和社会资源。数据来自23家中小型企业(家族企业)，采用37个项目的调查问卷。除描述性统计外，本研究还使用多元层次回归和自举方法对研究假设进行了检验。研究结果表明，组织资源与战略柔性显著正相关，知识管理过程能力部分中介了这些关系。研究局限/启示--通过探索和评估组织资源与战略柔性通过知识管理过程能力的联系，本文补充了战略柔性文献。
Purpose - Strategic flexibility is largely considered a source of competitive advantage, yet strategic flexibility in relation to organizational resources and knowledge management (KM) process capability is not well studied. To address this gap, this study aims to assesses the relationship of organizational resources (technical and social resources) and strategic flexibility through KM process capability.Design/methodology/approach - This paper is built on the assumptions of the resource-based view and the dynamic capability perspective of firm. Two types of organizational resources - technical and social - were identified from relevant literature. Data were collected from 23 small- and medium-sized firms (family owned firms) using a 37-item questionnaire. In addition to descriptive statistics, multiple hierarchical regressions and bootstrapping were used to test the study hypotheses.Findings - Findings suggest that organizational resources are positively and significantly related with strategic flexibility, and KM process capability partially mediates these relationships.Research limitations/implications - The paper adds to strategic flexibility literature by exploring and assessing the linkage of organizational resources with strategic flexibility through KM process capability.Originality/value - Findings of this research may help organizations and practitioners in enhancing strategic flexibility of firm.
