Purpose Considering the unprecedented supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the agri-food sector, the possession of dynamic capabilities (DCs) – particularly, the need for higher agility – seems to be the key to survival in highly uncertain environments. This study aims to use the dynamic capability view (DCV) theory to analyze how three key supply chain capabilities – organizational flexibility, integration and agility – should be combined to obtain the desired supply chain performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors designed a conceptual model in which the relationships between these three key capabilities and supply chain performance were hypothesized. The model was first tested through partial least square regression using survey data collected from 98 members of the Peruvian coffee supply chain. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was conducted to uncover how DCs could be combined in successful supply chain configurations. Findings The authors show that organizational flexibility is a driver of higher agility in agri-food supply chains, together with external and internal supply chain integration, that have a direct impact on agility, which positively affects supply chain performance. Higher levels of supply chain agility are necessary but insufficient to guarantee high performance, as sufficiency is reached when both integration (internal and/or external) and agility are present. Originality/value This study represents a pioneering attempt to apply the DCV theory to agri-food supply chains – characterized by many sources of uncertainty. All the DCs are included within the same model and the joint use of PLS regression and fsQCA provides evidence about the relationships between DCs and how they can empower agri-food supply to obtain the desired performance.

Understanding that location value is a critical factor to organizations with regards to people and technology is what this chapter strives to achieve. Location value can be synonymous with power. It can represent power of position, power to generate revenue, power to leverage resources, and power to serve as a catalyst for change. As with any source of power, it has the ability to provide an asset or to be a liability. The location value of people and technology in the workplace can serve as asset or liability depending upon placement. Maidique and Hayes (1984) also noted that “organizational agility seems to be associated with organizational flexibility–frequent realignments of people and responsibilities as the firm attempts to maintain its balance on shifting competitive sands” (p.21). Making the necessary realignments of people requires knowledge of their location value within the organization. This chapter addresses examples of technology location value, which includes capital expense, engineering expertise, and infrastructure changes against people location value, which includes cohesiveness in assigned environment, organizational culture, and career development. The author suggests that there seems to be reluctance on part of the organizations to fully commit the same resources for people location value as they do for technology location value.

Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has become significant in today’s economic growth. To gain and sustain the SMEs performance, one of the ways the organization should do is to be flexible and improvise in its business activities. The link between flexibility, improvisation and SMEs performance is still vague, thus this paper aims to investigate the effect of improvisation as a mediator between organizational flexibility and SMEs performance. Three hypotheses are put forward to achieve the aforementioned research goal. Obtaining on a survey data from 202 manufacturing SMEs in Malaysia, the findings of the study confirmed that all hypotheses have a positive significant association. Theoretically and in practice, this study denotes rich addition to the vocabulary of business and management.
