Strategic schema, strategic flexibility and technological innovation capability: A moderating role of environmental dynamism

摘要

This paper examine the moderating effect of environmental dynamism on the relationship between strategic schema, strategic flexibility and technological innovation capability. We employ the key property of strategic schema: complexity. Using a sample of 379 firms, we show that the pattern of relationships among the theoretical constructs is different in fast- and slow-changing environment. The results suggest that complexity of strategic schema promotes technological innovation capability via strategic flexibility, especially in fast changing environment.
