Master's thesis in Management: The mediating role of firms' capacity to sense on the relationship between environmental dynamism and innovation adoption, 2020

This study takes the dynamic capabilities theory of Teece et al. (1997) in order to find explanation in the relationship between environmental dynamism and innovation adoption.
A key element of the dynamic capabilities theory includes "sensing", which explains how managers and organizations sense their environment in pursuit of finding important opportunities or threats. Specifically, this study aims to find out the mediating role of this element with respect to innovation adoption and environmental dynamism.

De tijden dat je met je vrouw en kinderen gezellig door een goed gevulde winkelstraat liep en de keuze had in verschillende winkels komt steeds minder voor. Façades van grijze rolluiken en graffiti behoren niet alleen meer tot de 'outskirts' van de stad, ook veel binnensteden zijn inmiddels ingekleurd met deze leegte. Centra van winkelsteden als Alkmaar en Assen hebben te kampen met snelgroeiende leegstand. Om te voorkomen dat de steden door verloedering veranderen in spooksteden is terugdringing van beschikbare winkelruimtes hard nodig. Desalniettemin worden er nog steeds nieuwe projecten opgestart die er voor zorgen dat er nieuwe winkelruimte bijkomt. Welke partij veroorzaakt er de meeste problemen? Welke macht wordt hier uitgeoefend? Deze paper gaat over machtsverhoudingen die krom liggen en waar op gelet moet worden om in de toekomst meer samenwerkingen tussen belanghebbenden te krijgen voor minder leegstand. Want anders krijgt Nederland er steeds meer spooksteden bij.

Different models in the forms of dimensions have been created by Hofstede and the GLOBE project to find greater understanding. However the question is whether the dimensions are relevant to international business issues and if so, how they can be used in order for international companies to become more succesful in dealing with different cultures or cultural settings (e.g. Setting up new business abroad). In the future this topic will become very important for the business world as borders are fading because of globalization. That is why this paper has an interesting perspective on the matter.
