Promising avenues for future research on SF

ClusterThemeMain future research areas
Cluster 1 (Red)SF and BMI
  • (i)

    The role of temporary BMI to increase SF

  • (ii)

    The role of social media as a mediating/moderating factor between BMI and SF

  • (iii)

    Clarification on the effect of potential absorptive capacity and/or realized absorptive capacity on the relationship between BMI and SF

  • (iv)

    The role of proactive SF to improve value creation

Cluster 1 (Red)SF and DCs
  • (i)

    DCs and SF in developing and emerging countries

  • (ii)

    Causal relationship between SF and different DCs, using longitudinal studies

Cluster 2 (Blue)SF and digital technologies/digitalization
  • (i)

    Antecedents of SF and organizational agility, among which digital technologies play a role

  • (ii)

    The role of managerial factors such as experience, creativity and intuition as a mediating factor between digitalization and SF

  • (iii)

    What constitutes digitalization capabilities and how these capabilities can influence SF

  • (iv)

    The interplay between SF and digital technologies/digitalization for superior performance

Cluster 3 (Green)SF and sustainability
  • (i)

    The impact of green practices on SF

  • (ii)

    The interplay between SF and green practices for superior performance

Cluster 3 (Green)SF and firm performance
  • (i)

    The multidimensional composition of SF, e.g. reactivity vs proactivity on firm performance

  • (ii)

    The effect of the multidimensional environmental conditions such as environmental dynamism, environmental uncertainty, demand uncertainty and competitive intensity on SF and consequently firm performance
