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.

Hires occur for two reasons - to grow a business and to replace those who have left (churn). Churn is an important part of employment dynamics, allowing workers to move to their most productive use. We present evidence on churn from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Churn is procyclical. During the 2007-09 recession, four-fifths of hiring reductions are associated with reduced churn, not with reductions in job creation. We estimate that the cost of reduced churn is about two-fifths of a percentage point of GDP annually throughout the three-and-one-half year period since the beginning of the recession.

Abstract.  Dynamic ability is a form of knowledge that can create values for the company both with the results of innovation and transformation from input to output in order to produce sustainable competitive advantage. The purpose of this research is to know about what factors influence dynamic capabilities of a company or organization. In this study, more than that, what affects the dynamic capabilities in industries in Bandung. Creative industry is a collection of information related to information and information. Creative industry is an economic activity that produces added value from the art side. The creative arts industry is already boooming in Indonesia. Therefore, the author wants to learn about the dynamic capabilities that exist in the creative arts industry in Bandung. Things to look for are components such as environmental sensing capabilities, change capabilities and upgrades, technological flexibility capabilities, and organizational flexibility. Putri Pamayang Dance Studio is a dance studio in Bandung. This study uses a research-based design or Design Based Research (DBR). Based on the results of the study, the steps adopted by the Putri Pamayang Dance Studio are related to variation strategies, market testing strategies, development and development, backward integration, horizontal integration.Keywords. dynamic capabilities, sustainable competitive, environmental sensing capabilities, change and renewal capabilities, flexibility technology capabilities, and organizational flexibility.
