WHAT IS DIGITAL MARKETING CAPABILITIES AND
FIRM PERFORMANCE?

A

Source: Homborg & Wielgos (2022)

Digital Marketing Capabilities (DCM) contribute to firm profitability beyond
the influence of Classical Marketing Capabilities (CMC).

  • There is an interaction effect between DCM and CMC – both can jointly hurt
    or benefit firm profitability, depending on moderating contingencies.
  • The simultaneous employment of DMCs and CMCs has a positive effect on
    firm profitability if customer orientation is high and a negative effect of
    customer orientation is low.
  • Competitor orientation lowers the deployment of DMCs and CMCs resulting
    in lower firm profitability
  • The simultaneous deployment of DMCs and CMCs is particularly valuable
    when firms face rapid changes in dynamic environments.
