Abstract

By considering embedded opportunities and threats in today's dynamic business environment, this study proposes that small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) can exploit the ties of interfirm networks to access external resources and information, thus enhancing their organizational agility and absorptive capacity in a variable business environment and enabling superior organizational performance. This study enables SMEs to combine the external resources embedded in strategic networks with internal organizational capabilities including organizational agility and absorptive capacity to create an idiosyncratic competitive advantage in a chaotic business environment.
