Resource-based management and organizational performance: The role of co-creation, environmental policy and organizational learning support

In today's rapidly evolving business environment, driven by technological advancements and increasing stakeholder expectations, firms must strategically innovate to ensure long-term success and competitiveness. This study examines the interconnections between co-creation, resource-based management, environmental policy, organizational learning support, and organizational performance within the framework of Industry 4.0, grounding its analysis in the resource-based view theory. Focusing on the emerging market context of Vietnam, the research utilizes data collected by means of a survey of 321 managers across various industries, applying Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling to explore these respondents' perspectives on the relationships between the factors listed above. The findings provide actionable insights and strategic recommendations of relevance to companies which aim to thrive in the dynamic landscape of Industry 4.0, particularly in emerging markets. This study contributes to the existing literature by offering practical implications for the optimization of resource management and enhancement of organizational performance in the context of ongoing industrial transformation.
