TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of industry appropriability on firm outcomes (innovativeness and performance) and posits technology orientation as a dynamic capability that helps firms overcome appropriability barriers in their industry.
Abstract: Purpose – Industry appropriability – the degree to which firms in an industry can appropriate benefits from their innovations – is a crucial dimension of industry environment. Small and medium manufacturing enterprises (manufacturing SMEs), because of their limited resource base, tend to be especially sensitive to the appropriability conditions in their industry. The purpose of this paper is to understand the influence of industry appropriability on firm outcomes (innovativeness and performance), and posits technology orientation as a dynamic capability that helps firms overcome appropriability barriers in their industry. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 162 manufacturing SMEs in India. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings – This study reveals that the perceived level of appropriability of manufacturing SMEs impacts their innovativeness. Further, findings also support technology orientation as a crucial firm-specific characteristic wh...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the linkages of strategic orientations and innovation for large businesses of developed economies, relatively little is known about these linkages for SMEs of emerging economies.
Abstract: While previous research has explored the linkages of strategic orientations and innovation for large businesses of developed economies, relatively little is known about these linkages for SMEs of emerging economies. To study these linkages, data were collected from owners or senior executives of 162 manufacturing SMEs in the Punjab region of India. Our results show that while customer orientation has been found to enable innovation for large firms, it does not directly facilitate innovation for Indian SMEs. The customer-oriented SMEs create successful innovation through better utilisation of their dynamic resources. Therefore, creation of dynamic resources by SMEs is more critical than that of unique resources for successful innovation. Implications of our findings are discussed for theory as well as practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the relationship between franchisee's affective commitment and franchisee outcomes and find that affective com- mitment to the franchise organization was positively related to franchisee objective perfor- mance and intent to acquire additional units.
Abstract: Franchisees’ affective organizational commitment refers to the degree to which franchisees experience an emotional attachment to their franchise organization. Using a social exchange theory perspective, this research reports four studies that explore the relationship between franchisee’s affective commitment and franchisee outcomes. We found that affective com- mitment to the franchise organization was positively related to franchisee objective perfor- mance (Study 1) and intent to acquire additional units (Study 2), and negatively related to franchisee opportunism (Study 3) and intent to leave the franchise organization, particularly when continuance commitment (i.e., commitment based on the cost associated with mem- bership to the franchise) was low (Study 4). The implications of these findings are discussed.
