Hungarian Factories: Being Adaptable Beats Just Being Good
Dynamic production capabilities (adaptability) positively influence firm competitiveness, but ordinary capabilities (operational efficiency) do not. Diminishing returns from dynamic capabilities exist, meaning firms with already high ordinary capabilities gain less from further increasing dynamic capabilities.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
Limited generalizability due to single country
The study focuses on a single country, which may limit the generalizability of results due to country-specific factors.
Limited generalizability due to sample
The survey data is from a relatively small and potentially non-representative sample of Hungarian manufacturing firms, limiting the generalizability of findings.
Potential bias in survey-based measurement of capabilities
Perceived capabilities were assessed through manager surveys, which may introduce bias if not all managers have accurate insights, or if there is pressure for favorable responses. This may influence reported relationships with performance.
Limited control for other firm-specific factors
The authors only control for firm age and size as potential confounders. It is possible that other firm-specific factors influence the relationships between capabilities and competitiveness.
Rating Explanation
This study provides interesting insights into the relationships between production capabilities and firm competitiveness using a unique dataset and methodology. However, some generalizability limitations due to the sample and context exist, preventing a top rating.
