Figure 1
The diagram shows three shaded regions labeled “Digital Bricolage” on the left, “A I Capabilities” in the center, and “Dynamic Capability” on the right. In the lower left corner, the label reads “Informal Microenterprise Business Environment”. Within the “Digital Bricolage” region, there are two rounded rectangle boxes labeled “Digital Bricolage” and “Business Skills”. Within the “A I Capabilities” region, there are three rounded rectangle boxes labeled “Tangible A I Resources”, “Intangible A I Resources”, and “A I Human Resources”. Next to A I capabilities a text reads “Ability to select, orchestrate and leverage its A I specific resources”. Within the “Dynamic Capability” region on the right, there are four rounded rectangle boxes labeled “Opportunity-Sensing Capability” at the top right, “Adaptive Capability” at the center right, “Innovative Capability” below it, and “Absorptive Capability” at the bottom right. Text near “Opportunity-Sensing Capability” reads “Ability to sense and seize opportunity are micro-foundations of dynamic capability” and “Leads to unique modification of resourcebase and transformation”. Text near “Absorptive Capability” reads “Ability to purposefully create, extend or modify its resource base”. Another statement reads “Adaptive, absorptive and innovative capabilities are dimensions of dynamic capabilities”. At the center right, there is an oval labeled “Competitiveness”. Surrounding it are four dashed circular elements labeled “Market Opportunity”, “Enterprise Agility”, “New Business Model”, and “Operational Success”. On the left, a rounded rectangle box labeled “Digital Bricolage” appears inside a shaded region labeled “Digital Bricolage”. The text “Recombination of digital resources” and “Mobilisation of underused digital resources” appears within this region. A solid vertical arrow labeled “Fragmentation as a limitation” with the text “Fragments” and “Proposition 6 a”points rightward from the left side toward the rounded rectangle box labeled “Tangible A I Resources”. At the center-left, a rounded rectangle box labeled “Tangible A I Resources” with “e.g A I Solutions” sits above another rounded rectangle box labeled “Intangible A I Resources” with “e.g A I Skills”. A dashed double headed arrow points downward from “Tangible A I Resources” to “Intangible A I Resources”. Starting from the left, a solid arrow labeled “Fragmentation as a limitation” points upward and rightward from “Digital Bricolage” to the top center rounded rectangle box “Tangible A I Resources”. A dashed arrow labeled “Proposition 6 a” and “Fragments” points rightward toward “Tangible A I Resources”. A solid vertical bidirectional arrow labeled “Proposition 4 a” and “Enable” connects “Business Skills” and “Digital Bricolage”. A solid diagonal arrow labeled “Proposition 4 b” and “Develop” points from “Business Skills” to “Intangible A I Resources”. A solid horizontal arrow labeled “Proposition 3” and “Develop” points from “Digital Bricolage” to “Intangible A I Resources”. A solid diagonal arrow labeled “Proposition 6 b” and “Limits Scaling” points from “Digital Bricolage” to “Tangible A I Resources”. A dashed vertical arrow points downward from “Tangible A I Resources” to “Intangible A I Resources”. Another dashed vertical arrow points downward from “Intangible A I Resources” to “A I Human Resources”. A dashed horizontal bidirectional arrow connects “Business Skills” and “A I Human Resources”. From “Intangible A I Resources”, a solid horizontal arrow labeled “Proposition 1” and “Enable” points to “Competitiveness”. From “A I Human Resources”, a solid diagonal arrow labeled “Proposition 2” and “Influences” points to “Competitiveness”. Another solid horizontal arrow labeled “Proposition 8 a” and “Strengthens” points from “A I Human Resources” to “Absorptive Capability”. Between “Tangible A I Resources” and “Opportunity-Sensing Capability”, there is a solid horizontal double headed arrow. Above this double headed arrow, the label “Proposition 7 a” appears with a right pointing arrow labeled “Enables” from “Tangible A I Resources” to “Opportunity-Sensing Capability”. Below it, a left pointing arrow labeled “Improves” points from “Opportunity-Sensing Capability” back to “Tangible A I Resources”. From “Opportunity-Sensing Capability”, a solid diagonal arrow labeled “Proposition 7 b” and “Seize” points downward to “Market Opportunity”. Additionally, from “Adaptive Capability”, a solid arrow labeled “Proposition 9” and “Improves” points toward “Enterprise Agility”. From “Innovative Capability”, a solid arrow labeled “Proposition 10” and “Enables” points toward “New Business Model”. From “Absorptive Capability”, a solid arrow labeled “Proposition 8 b” and “Enables” points toward “Operational Success”. Dashed arrows connect “Adaptive Capability”, “Innovative Capability”, and “Absorptive Capability” upward toward “Opportunity-Sensing Capability”. A dashed double headed arrow at the top connects the “Digital Bricolage” region to the “Dynamic Capability” region. Another dashed double headed arrow at the bottom connects the “A I Capabilities” region to the “Dynamic Capability” region.Conceptual framework: AI-enabled digital bricolage and dynamic capabilities for microenterprise competitiveness
