Purpose: The paper's main objective is to fill the research gap by theoretically and empirically exploring current approaches to business process improvement issues. In particular, attention is paid to the internal factors of dynamic business process improvement. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on the results of a quantitative survey conducted using the CAWI technique. Respondents to the survey were middle managers representing companies in various industries where process improvement is taking place. Conclusions were drawn from a sample of 444 companies. Findings: The research conducted here made it possible to investigate and clarify aspects of dynamic business process management. The main conclusions that emerge from the results of the study allow to indicate the main internal factors which play the most significant role in dynamic process improvement. Is important to state that organisations must have certain resources in order to be able to implement dynamic process changes. They must also have certain capabilities that allow these resources to produce the desired effects. Research limitations/implications: The study targeted the perspective of middle managers, which was a key factor in selecting respondents for the study. Future research could move in the direction of expanding the pool of respondents to include other levels of management. Qualitative research, and in particular the case study method, could also prove useful in developing the topic further. Practical implications: In line with dynamic capabilities, middle managers should be oriented towards identifying the individual factors determining the company's development, arriving at synthetic, current and reliable knowledge necessary for the decision-making process, and reacting quickly to changes occurring inside and outside the organisation. Originality/value: The subject of this article is the issue of dynamic business process improvement. This is a topic that has not yet been sufficiently researched. The presented research area is interesting from a cognitive point of view and the perspective of management practice. It is part of the current research on the effectiveness of business process execution and, by extent, the effectiveness of entire organisations. It responds to the current need to react quickly to unpredictable, rapid environmental changes, which corresponds to the metaparadigm of dynamic reality.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to characterise and identify the role of dynamic innovative capabilities in enterprise development. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted using a standardised structured interview questionnaire with managers of aviation companies in Poland. Findings: The results of the study indicate the importance of dynamic innovation capabilities in improving competitiveness as well as coping with a dynamic environment. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the research conducted is the size of the research sample. This may provide an indication of the direction of future research concentrating on cross-sectional studies in companies from other sectors. This would provide a basis for formulating conclusions with a higher degree of generalisability. Practical implications: The theoretical considerations presented and the conclusions drawn from the research can provide enterprise managers with valuable information on the use of dynamic capabilities to integrate, reconfigure and renew their resources for innovation. Social implications: Enterprise managers should be aware of the importance and relevance of dynamic innovation capabilities in the context of contemporary challenges and enhancing innovation and competitiveness. Originality/value: Due to its cognitive value and high practical relevance for business managers, the paper contributes on the role of dynamic innovative capacity by providing a voice in the ongoing discussion.

Purpose: The environmental problems which have been deepening in recent decades, i.e. climate change or the degradation of the biosphere, are creating a new reality of pursuing business activity. On the one hand, firms - by their nature - seek to maintain the efficiency and to gain a competitive advantage, on the other hand - they are more and more often obliged to balance environmental goals with economic goals. Although there are opinions that these goals are competitive in themselves, it is possible for firms to reconcile them effectively by adopting Environmental Sustainability Orientation. Since this orientation is analysed in the literature from various research perspectives, this paper attempts to conceptualise it from a Dynamic Capabilities perspective. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is theoretical and based on an in-depth review of the literature. The developed conceptual model includes the direct and indirect relations among dynamic capabilities formulated in multidimensional terms, Environmental Sustainability Orientation and organisational outcomes. Embedding considerations in resource-based theories, three key processes (organisational learning, integration and reconfiguration of resources) have also been analysed, which, as necessary for building dynamic capabilities, make it easier for firms to adopt strategic Environmental Sustainability Orientation. Findings: The considerations included in the paper complement the literature in the area of strategic management and make it easier to understand Environmental Sustainability Orientation at the organisational level. They also point to a need to undertake further scientific work, the authors of which can use the research propositions elaborated in the paper and thus empirically verify the proposed conceptual model. Originality/value: The key scientific contribution of the paper is the development of a research framework formulating Environmental Sustainability Orientation from a Dynamic Capabilities perspective, i.e., respectively: (1) the capability to identify opportunities and/or threats (sensing), (2) the capability to use these opportunities and/or cope with threats (seizing) and (3) the capability to reconfigure the firm’s resources and competences (reconfiguring). The logic of this approach results from the fact that the three fundamental processes underlying the building of dynamic capabilities - organisational learning, integration and reconfiguration of resources - supported by the conscious action of CEO, make it easier for firms to adopt strategic Environmental Sustainability Orientation.

Purpose: The paper examines the mediating effect of dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring) on the relationship between critical resources (financial, human, and physical) and Polish green innovative companies’ performance. Design/methodology/approach: The paper combines the Resource-Based View of the Firm with Dynamic Capabilities View and applies them to eco-innovation performance. The study is quantitative and was conducted among 54 Polish green innovative companies. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the research hypotheses. Findings: The results indicate that sensing and seizing opportunities mediate the relationship between all types of resources and eco-innovators’ performance. Moreover, reconfiguring the resource base mediates the relationship between human resources and Polish green innovative companies’ economic output. Research limitations/implications: The results of the study indicate that a specific set of resources is not always enough to enhance green innovative companies’ performance. Therefore, there is a need for dynamic capabilities. Such capabilities lead to the development of resources and their dynamic adaptation to technological and market changes. The findings may contribute to a broader scientific discussion on the specificity of eco-innovative activity and its conditions in the Polish economy. Originality/value: The paper is the first to examine – to the author’s best knowledge – the mediating effect of multidimensional dynamic capabilities on the relationship between critical resources and Polish green innovative companies’ performance.

In-depth study on the role of leadership, particularly digital leadership on the creation of strategic alliances and dynamic capabilities have not been explored. Hence, this paper examines the roles of digital leadership in developing strategic alliance and dynamic capability based on the market orientation. It is put forward that digital leadership behaviors have a stronger influence on the development of strategic alliance in order to drive dynamic capabilities based on market orientation. A quantitative method was used, comprising 88 senior leaders of Indonesian telecommunication companies. Purposive sampling method was used with the Smart PLS statistical tool. The findings confirm the direct and indirect significant effects between digital leadership and the development of strategic alliance and dynamic capabilities based on market orientation. The study has practical implications to take priority in developing digital leadership to enforce the transformation. The limitations of the study are identified to be the sample, time and statistical tool used, hence longitudinal study is suggested in the future with a more extended sample quantity and time frame.

Dotychczas nie przeprowadzono dogłębnej analizy roli przywództwa, w szczególności cyfrowego przywództwa w tworzeniu strategicznych sojuszy i dynamicznych zdolności. Dlatego też niniejszy artykuł analizuje rolę przywództwa cyfrowego w rozwijaniu sojuszu strategicznego i zdolności dynamicznych w oparciu o orientację rynkową. Postuluje się, że cyfrowe zachowania przywódcze mają większy wpływ na rozwój sojuszu strategicznego w celu napędzania dynamicznych zdolności opartych na orientacji rynkowej. Zastosowano metodę ilościową obejmującą 88 starszych liderów indonezyjskich przedsiębiorstw telekomunikacyjnych. Zastosowano celową metodę próbkowania za pomocą narzędzia statystycznego Smart PLS. Odkrycia potwierdzają bezpośrednie i pośrednie znaczące skutki między przywództwem cyfrowym a rozwojem sojuszu strategicznego i zdolności dynamicznych opartych na orientacji rynkowej. Badanie ma praktyczne implikacje, aby priorytetowo traktować rozwój cyfrowego przywództwa w celu egzekwowania transformacji. Ograniczenia badania są określane jako przykładowe narzędzie czasowe i statystyczne, stąd w przyszłości sugerowane jest badanie podłużne z bardziej rozszerzoną ilością próbek i ramami czasowymi.
