Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the impact of dynamic capabilities (DC) (in the view of exploration and exploitation) on competitiveness and performance, considering the mediating role the innovation capability (IC) and branding capabilities (BC)on competitive advantage and firm’s performance and the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation (EO). Design/methodology/approach This investigation proposes a theoretical model tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). Multi-group analysis was performed to understand the moderating role of. A questionnaire survey was developed to explore the relations between DC and innovation variable. For this study, 387 valid questionnaires were collected from a sample of Portugal SME’ firms. A 90-item questionnaire which consists to study the relationships among all the variables. Findings The results show that exists a positive direct and indirect influence of DC on competitive advantage and performance variables and mediating impact the IC and BC. Research limitations/implications This study has some methodological limitations affecting its potential contributions. As a cross-sectional study that captures one image in time, its ability to identify strict causality between variables is limited. Furthermore, the results are based on log collected from a key respondent, rather than broader actual data. The results are restricted to one country, Portugal. Some variables, such as ICs, may play a different role in other countries. Future research should initially target different countries. Such research could then test the generalizability of the results. Practical implications This study has important implications for the managers. It highlights the necessity of firms to develop superior strategic orientation of all their members and to invest in better resources and consequently superior capabilities as a way of achieving high levels of firm performance. Another implication from the study is that the firms should develop their marketing programs by focusing on developing innovativeness. Originality/value This study contributes to the understanding of the indirect and direct impact of exploration and exploitation variables, and the mediating role of ICs and BC on the competitive advantage and performance and the moderating effect of EO.

The Global Financial Crisis

Abstract The role of spending review is to identify savings options which enable governments either to find fiscal space for priority new spending, or to cut aggregate spending. Following the surge in the use of spending review by governments around the world following the global financial crisis in 2008, many governments are now seeking to institutionalize spending review as a permanent part of the budget preparation process. The effectiveness of spending review is critically dependent upon the quality of its information base – that is the expenditure analysis and performance indicators which can assist in the search for savings options. Evaluation is an essential part of this information base. However, ensuring that the potential of evaluation to inform spending review is realized will require considerable reflection on the design, selection and conduct of evaluations. Résumé:L’objectif des exercices de révision budgétaire est d’identifier des moyens d’économiser afin que les gouvernements puissent trouver une disponibilité fiscale pour de nouvelles dépenses, ou pour couper les dépenses globales. Suite à l’intérêt pour les exercices de révision budgétaire, au niveau mondial, suivant à la crise financière de 2008, de nombreux gouvernements cherchent à institutionnaliser de façon permanente ces exercice dans le processus de préparation des budgets. L’efficacité des révisions budgétaire repose de façon critique sur la qualité de l’information à laquelle elle a accès – c’est-à-dire l’analyse des dépenses et les indicateurs de performance qui peuvent informer sur les sources potentielles d’économie. L’évaluation est une composante importante de cette information. Toutefois, s’assurer que l’évaluation puissent informer les exercices de révision budgétaire implique une réflexion importante sur la façon dont elles sont conçues, orientées et réalisées.

And Performance

The current research seeks to study and analyze performance indicators and standards and its variables, the research relied on the historical method in studying the previous indicators by returning to the measures related to indicators and performance standards presented by a different group of writers and researchers, performance criteria were analyzed to determine the level and size of the gap between actual performance and planned performance. The study reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that the concept of Performance and performance indicators are topics that are characterized by intellectual and cognitive richness. Perhaps the reason for this difference is due to the difference in the fields and areas in which researchers studied the concept and performance indicators. As well as the cognitive, cultural and intellectual differences of researchers in this concept. As for the most important recommendations of the research, it referred to the invitation of organizations to strive hard in determining their own performance indicators. The organization can stand alone from the competing organizations in defining special indicators to measure its performance that will enable it to achieve a competitive advantage.
