The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of exploration and exploitation
capabilities on competitive advantage (hereafter CA) and performance, considering the
mediating role of innovation capabilities (hereafter ICs) and the moderating role of
organizational learning capability (hereafter OLC) on the proposed relationships. This
investigation proposes a theoretical model tested using structural equation modelling
(SEM), and a multi-group analysis is performed to understand the moderating role of
organizational learning capability. A 90-item questionnaire exploring the relationships
between dynamic capabilities (hereafter DCs) and innovation was developed, and a
total of 387 valid questionnaires were collected from a sample of Portuguese’s smalland
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a case of a transition economy. Therefore, this
study contributes to the understanding of the direct and indirect impact of exploration
and exploitation on CA variables, the mediating role of IC on CA and performance and
the moderating effect of OLC in a transition economy.
