Item type:Publication, Intellectual capital and financial performance in small manufacturing companies: The moderating effect of managerial ambidexterity(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-01-01)We verify the moderating effect of managerial ambidexterity on the relationship between intellectual capital and financial performance of small manufacturing companies in Peru. The study used a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 506 small manufacturing firms. To determine the hypothesised model’s validity and reliability, we performed an exploratory factor analysis using a rotated component matrix to group questions within their corresponding constructs. Next, we assessed convergent and discriminant validity using measures such as Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, and average variance extracted. Finally, we tested the model hypotheses using structural equation modelling. SPSS 27 and AMOS 24 were used for all analyses. The study showed that there is a partial moderating effect of managerial ambidexterity on the relationship between intellectual capital and financial performance of small manufacturing firms in Peru. Additionally, statistical analysis showed that managerial ambidexterity moderates the direct relationship between structural capital and relational capital with financial performance, while no moderation effect was observed for human capital. This study provides valuable information for academia and management as it is the first to analyse the relationship between intellectual capital and financial performance, considering the moderating effect of managerial ambidexterity in small manufacturing firms in Peru. This innovative approach makes a significant contribution to scientific knowledge by investigating how managerial ambidexterity affects the financial performance of businesses in emerging economies, an area that has received little prior research. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The key enablers of SMEs readiness in Industry 4.0: a case of Malaysia(Emerald Publishing, 2025-02-19)Purpose: The study sheds light on the internal enabling factors towards emerging market (EM) small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) preparedness for Industry 4.0 (I4.0) using three dimensions: managerial, operational and technological readiness. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses convenience sampling, having online and paper-based surveys and collecting 110 responses from manufacturing Malaysian SMEs. This sample allowed assessing the relationships of the hypothesized variables through the structural model of data analysis. Findings: This study’s findings demonstrate that financial capability and perceived benefits enhance Malaysian SMEs' managerial, operational and technological readiness. Research limitations/implications: Using Malaysia's case, this paper extends the discussion of the key drivers that underline the decision of EM firms to adopt I4.0. Practical implications: This study’s results provide valuable insights for policymakers to improve the digital ecosystem. Also, understanding critical drivers for I4.0 readiness would encourage SMEs in Malaysia to embrace new digital technologies. Originality/value: Although digital transformation towards I4.0 for manufacturing SMEs would be decisive, little is known about how ready these Malaysian firms are to adopt it or the driving factors that motivate them. Meanwhile, inadequate readiness causes a high failure rate in implementing new technology, processes or organizational changes.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable entrepreneurial intention in an emerging economy: Extending the theory of planned behavior with sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial cognition and skills(Elsevier BV, 2026-09-01)Amidst pressure on emerging economies to reconcile economic development with environmental goals, understanding the drivers of sustainable entrepreneurial intention (SEI) is crucial. This study examines the determinants of SEI among university students, extending the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by incorporating sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial cognition (SOEC) and entrepreneurial skills (ES), and exploring the mediating role of TPB components. Methodology A cross-sectional survey gathered 173 responses from business students in a Latin American emerging economy. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test explanatory direct and mediating effects among attitudes toward sustainable entrepreneurship (ATS), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), ES, SOEC, and SEI. Results Findings show that ATS and PBC strongly predict SEI, whereas SN and ES have no significant direct effects. Crucially, SOEC exerts significant indirect effects on SEI primarily through ATS and PBC. The indirect path via SN is non-significant. These results suggest that SOEC strengthens SEI by acting as a foundational catalyst for pro-sustainability attitudes and perceived control. Practical and theoretical implications Theoretically, this study clarifies SOEC's role not as a direct predictor that increases explanatory power, but as a distal antecedent that structures the TPB's cognitive architecture. Furthermore, the insignificance of SN reflects the emerging economy context, where traditional corporate careers are socially favored over perceived high-risk sustainable ventures, making profound personal conviction (ATS) and self-efficacy (PBC) essential. Practically, entrepreneurship education should prioritize cultivating SOEC, attitudes, and perceived control alongside concrete skills to foster sustainability-driven mindsets. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Qualitative comparative analysis of the personal traits of managers, scientists, and innovators in corporate science(Elsevier BV, 2025-01-01)This study examined the personal traits that contribute to the success of corporate science projects in Peru by focusing on the roles of CEOs, scientists, and innovators. Although Peru has seen economic progress in recent decades, integrating scientific research into business strategies requires improvement, reflecting a common trend in emerging economies. Through a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and a sample of 56 participants, the configurations of personal characteristics that contribute to the success of such projects were identified. The results indicate that success depends not on a single attribute but on a combination of various capabilities. This study emphasizes the importance of adaptability and collaboration among key actors and suggests a management approach that blends technical skills with interpersonal competencies. The practical implications of this study emphasize the need to align corporate leadership with scientific and market dynamics, foster empathy and teamwork, and leverage external networks to enhance innovation. Strategies must be adapted to the specificities of emerging economies where science, technology, and innovation systems are still developing.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Demonetisation, Financial Inclusion and Bank Efficiency(SAGE Publishing, 2026-01-01)We estimate three efficiencies, namely new profit, new cost and new technical, to examine the impact of demonetisation and financial inclusion on bank performance in India. Bank efficiency for the 2011–2019 period across size and ownership groups is measured using data envelopment analysis (DEA). In the second stage, differences in impact of the event across bank groups and efficiency types, using repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA), are observed. Significant effects across size and ownership, albeit not uniform across groups, events and efficiency types, were found. There was an increase in the number of frontier banks. SBI, the state-owned and largest bank, with the most significant role in those policies, had seen a positive impact on cost and profit efficiency. Our study is perhaps the first of its kind to examine demonetisation and financial inclusion impact on the banking sector and a two-stage estimation that combines DEA with repeated ANOVA. Our study does not lend support to the view that those events have burdened and adversely affected banks. The study carries important managerial and policy implications and provides much-needed scientific evidence to the popular debate on the impact of the events.

Item type:Publication, Conceptualization and empirical validation of general organizational commitment and its links with ethical leadership and team participation(Springer Science+Business Media, 2026-12-01)Organizational commitment has traditionally been conceptualized through affective, normative, and calculative dimensions; however, affective-centered approaches may be insufficient to explain employees' sustained and responsible attachment to organizational goals and collective projects. Addressing this limitation, the present study advances the concept of general commitment as an integrative form of organizational attachment that combines emotional identification with a deliberate endorsement of organizational purposes, and examines how ethical leadership contributes to its development through normative mechanisms and employee participation in decision making. Using survey data from 404 employees in Peruvian organizations, structural equation modeling was employed to test an integrated model linking ethical leadership, normative commitment, general commitment, participation in team decision making, and calculative commitment. The results indicate that ethical leadership is positively associated with normative commitment, which in turn fosters both general commitment and employee participation. General commitment and participation were further related to calculative commitment, suggesting that moral and goal-oriented forms of attachment shape instrumental considerations regarding organizational membership. Multi-group analyses by sex showed that the proposed model is structurally invariant across male and female employees. Overall, the findings underscore the central role of general commitment as a morally grounded and goal-oriented form of organizational attachment, and highlight ethical leadership as a key driver of commitment processes operating through normative mechanisms. By clarifying the conceptual distinctiveness of general commitment, this study offers a more nuanced account of organizational commitment in contemporary work teams, particularly in emerging-economy contexts.1
