    Volatility in natural resources prices and economic performance: evidence from BRICS economies
    (Elsevier, 2021-11-26)
    Natural resources and economic growth nexus have been extensively investigated since the last three decades and still the debate is in progress. However, in the current times, natural resources prices volatility got importance as natural resources prices are playing crucial role in economic growth by regulating economic activities, which is relatively less studied. Natural resources price volatility and economic performance nexus have set new trends for scholars and policy-makers. Volatility in natural resources could have a detrimental impact on the economic performance of a country or region. In this regard, the current study aims to identify the relationship between them while considering the role of green innovation in the BRICS economies between 1990 and 2021. Employing the cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributive lags (CS-ARDL) approach, the results revealed that natural resource volatility, oil rents, natural gas rents, and green innovation positively influence the economic performance in both short-run and long-run. These results are found robust as verified by the long-run estimator augmented mean group (AMG). Besides, the Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) Granger panel causality heterogeneous test unveil a bidirectional causal association between the under discussion variables and economic performance. Based on the empirical findings, this study recommends that natural resources hedging, price freezing or ceiling, and promoting green innovation could be remedial measures to improve economic performance further and reduce natural resources price volatility in the region.

    State and dynamics of the innovative performance of medium and large firms in the manufacturing sector in emerging economies: The cases of Peru and Ecuador
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-12-30)
    The purpose of this study was to analyze the current state and dynamics of the innovative behavior of medium and large manufacturing firms in Peru and Ecuador. It has been shown that the factors that enhance or enable the possibilities of innovation in organizations can be internal or external. This study took a quantitative approach, and regression models were applied to samples composed of firms. The relationships between external factors and business resources following the implementation of innovation were analyzed, as was the impact that these factors had on sales performance, considering the effect of the size and age of the firms. The innovations most implemented in firms in Ecuador were processes, and in Peru, organizational innovations were predominant. There were no external factors or business resources statistically related to these types of innovation for each country. For Peruvian firms, the age of the firm presented an inverse relationship to its performance. The study confirms the results of other studies conducted in Peru, and for Ecuador, these findings represent one of the first contributions on this topic. This study contributes to the discussion of the effects, in emerging Latin American countries, of a firm’s age on its ability to innovate.

    Examining the Relationship Between Organizational Ambidexterity and Firm Performance in New Technology-Based Firms
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026-03-01)
    Organizational ambidexterity is an essential topic in management research. A growing number of studies argue that organizational ambidexterity is increasingly critical to the sustained competitive advantage of firms. However, there is less research on ambidexterity in new technology-based firms, despite the significant impact it has on local and national economies. The study examined the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and firm performance (non-economic and economic). The sample consists of 102 Colombian new technology-based firms. A latent variable design or structural equation modeling was followed. The statistical method was Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). According to the results, organizational ambidexterity is positively related to both non-economic and economic performance. Organizational ambidexterity explained 10% of the variance of the economic performance and 56% of the variance of the non-economic performance. These findings highlight the importance of organizational ambidexterity to obtain better firm performance, especially non-economic performance related to customer perception, employee satisfaction, and improvement in the quality of products and services in new technology-based firms.
