Abstract

This study explores the mediating role of dynamic managerial capabilities in the relationship between resource orchestration and firm performance, focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While the resource-based view emphasizes the importance of valuable and rare resources for achieving competitive advantage, the dynamic capabilities perspective highlights how firms continuously reconfigure these resources to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Within this framework, dynamic managerial capabilities—defined through managerial human, social, and cognitive capital—are theoretically analyzed to explain how managers structure, bundle, and leverage resources. The findings of the literature review indicate that managerial capabilities serve as a strategic bridge, enabling SMEs to overcome resource constraints and environmental uncertainty. Recent studies emphasize that managerial cognition supports strategic agility and rapid decision-making, while managerial social capital strengthens access to external networks and global partnerships. Accordingly, dynamic managerial capabilities are not only essential for effective resource orchestration but also for fostering innovation, organizational learning, and strategic flexibility.The study identifies two main research gaps. First, empirical research validating these theoretical relationships remains limited. Second, the effects of digital transformation and artificial intelligence on resource orchestration and managerial capabilities are underexplored. Overall, this study highlights the theoretical and practical significance of dynamic managerial capabilities in enhancing SME performance through effective resource orchestration and proposes future directions focusing on digitalization and empirical validation.
