| Abstract: | Purpose-This study empirically analyses the direct impacts of Soft Quality Management Practices (SQMP) and Market Orientation Ambidexterity (MOA) on Product Innovation Ambidexterity (PIA). It also examines the mediating role of MOA on the relationship between SQMP and PIA. Design/methodology/approach-Following a quantitative research methodology, a wellstructured questionnaire is used to collect data from 130 Moroccan certified ISO 9001 firms. The conceptual framework of the study was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Findings-The results show that SQMP have no significant association with PIA while they positively and significantly impact MOA. The study also revealed that MOA has a positive and significant impact on PIA and fully mediates the relationship between SQMP and PIA. Research limitations/implications-Due to the conceptualization of MOA and PIA as combined ambidexterity, the results of the study might be different in the case of balanced ambidexterity. Practical implications-To achieve PIA, managers need to be aware that implementing SQMP, while important, is not enough. They must invest sufficient resources to properly implement these practices to support MOA. Consequently, MOA will lead their organization to PIA by establishing the significant impact of SQMP on PIA. Originality/value-Regardless of the abundant literature on the relationship between QM practices and innovation, this study is among the first to examine the impact of SQMP on PIA. Using MOA as a mediator can give a meaningful answer to the indecisive empirical results of the impact of QM on innovation. Furthermore, this research contributes to the scarce literature on relevant studies conducted in developing countries. |

| Abstract: | This Brief gives a short EU policy contextualisation of “Industrial innovation for Open Strategic Autonomy – leaving no one and no place behind’’ followed by a digest of the results of CONCORDi 2023 conference (Oct. 24-26, 2023) on the same subject. It focusses on policy relevance, drawing on new scientific evidence, insights and recommendations highlighting some of the policy challenges ahead. The content of this document – original for its comprehensive and new science-to-policy handling of the topic - reinforces the messages related to Open Strategic Autonomy of recent Communications of the Commission. Main hilights arising form this Brief are: a) Industrial Innovation as a pillar of industrial policy is central to achieving Open Strategic Autonomy (OSA); 2) In pursuing OSA, social and territorial cohesion should be integrated into industrial innovation policy; 3) Institutional capacities as well as quality and good governance are crucial to OSA; 4) More research and cooperation between practitioners and scientists is needed to underpin and monitor OSA. |

| Abstract: | In a knowledge-oriented society, knowledge sharing within an organization is widely recognized as a crucial strategic element, as emphasized by Peter Drucker. Performance theory explores this concept through various dimensions, encompassing strategic performance according to T. Peters and R. Waterman (1983), competitive performance according to M. Porter (1974), economic and financial performance according to J.M. Stern and G.B. Stewart, and socio-economic performance according to (Isaac & Kalika, n.d.). While contemporary approaches integrate a systemic view of performance by including the organizational dimension, traditional approaches primarily focus on the economic aspect. This study focuses on the challenges related to knowledge sharing in the field of athletics in Morocco and its impact on organizational performance, with a particular emphasis on sharing among stakeholders. Using a quantitative approach based on hypothetico-deductive reasoning, we employed a computerized questionnaire via Google Forms to survey 120 sports organizations affiliated with the Royal Moroccan Athletics Federation. By utilizing SPSS software, the results indicate a limited inclination towards knowledge sharing within these organizations, while revealing a significant positive impact of this sharing on their performance. Thus, this research explores the intricate links between knowledge sharing and organizational performance in the field of athletics in Morocco, providing valuable insights for knowledge management and performance enhancement within these sports entities. |
| Abstract: | Dans une société orientée vers la connaissance, le partage des connaissances au sein d'une organisation est largement reconnu comme un élément stratégique essentiel, comme le souligne Peter Drucker. La théorie de la performance explore cette notion à travers diverses dimensions, englobant la performance stratégique selon T. Peters et R. Waterman (1983), concurrentielle selon M. Porter (1974), économique et financière selon J.M. Stern et G.B. Stewart, ainsi que socio-économique selon (Isaac & Kalika, s. d.). Tandis que les approches contemporaines intègrent une vision systémique de la performance en incluant la dimension organisationnelle, les approches traditionnelles se concentrent principalement sur l'aspect économique. Cette étude se concentre sur les défis liés au partage des connaissances métiers et son impact sur la performance organisationnelle dans le contexte de l'athlétisme au Maroc, mettant particulièrement l'accent sur le partage entre les acteurs. À l'aide d'une approche quantitative basée sur un raisonnement hypothético-déductif, nous avons utilisé un questionnaire informatisé via Google Forms pour interroger 120 organisations sportives affiliées à la Fédération Royale Marocaine d'Athlétisme. En exploitant le logiciel SPSS, les résultats indiquent une propension limitée au partage des connaissances métiers au sein de ces organisations, tout en révélant un impact positif significatif de ce partage sur leur performance. Cette recherche explore ainsi les liens complexes entre le partage des connaissances et la performance organisationnelle dans le domaine de l'athlétisme au Maroc, offrant des perspectives précieuses pour la gestion des connaissances et l'amélioration des performances au sein de ces entités sportives. |

| Abstract: | The extraordinary sea potential is owned by the City of Bitung, North Sulawesi, both from fisheries and tourism. This potential is well known to foreign countries, so it has the opportunity to become the flagship of the blue economy in Indonesia. This paper explores the role of collaboration strategy (CS) theory and resource-based view (RBV), which are the basis for formulating and creating competitive advantage to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. The type of research used was a qualitative research approach; the data collection was conducted through focus group discussion methods and in-depth interviews with stakeholders of entrepreneurs who engaged in the fisheries sector, marine tourism, government, and academics. The collaboration strategy theory is poised to play a crucial role in managing marine resources in Indonesia, particularly as the nation focuses on its blue economy flagship to gain a competitive advantage for sustainable development. This is especially evident in enhancing knowledge acquisition, which is essential for improving knowledge-based products among cluster members in the blue ocean economy. This research explores the contributions of the collaboration strategy and the resource-based view to the primary strategy in blue economy management, aiming to attain a sustainable competitive advantage. |

| Abstract: | This paper investigates the impact of big data analytics capability (BDAC) on organizational agility under the moderating effect of BDAC–business alignment and its impact on performance through organizational agility. Data from a matched-pair survey of business, data technology, and financial executives in 161 organizations were used to examine the proposed research model. This paper used partial least squares–structural equation modeling and hierarchical component analysis to examine the data. The results suggest a positive mediation role of organizational agility in the relationship between big data analytics capability and organizational performance, except that the mediation effect of operational adjustment agility on BDAC and market performance is not statistically significant. This study also finds that alignment between the business strategy and the big data analytics strategy enhances the relationship between BDAC and market responsiveness agility. It proposes a new perspective which is to realize the value of BDAC in enhancing agility and performance. |
