ABSTRACT
The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused problems for Indonesian SMEs, in terms of supply chain and changes in their markets' demand. SMEs cannot survive only by exploiting their existing businesses, but also by trying to explore new opportunities and ways of doing business. SMEs will have better performance if they can balance exploration and exploitation, hereinafter referred to as ambidexterity. Demand for ambidexterity is difficult because SMEs usually have limited resources and capabilities. Based on the literature review, the resource-based view (RBV) is the most frequently used perspective to discuss ambidexterity. This shows that the SMEs only focus on their internal resources so they experience a lack of resources. Based on this gap, the resource dependence theory (RDT) and social network theory are integrated with the RBV to broaden the discussion of ambidexterity in SMEs, to solve their resource-related problems. © 2023 The Author(s).

ABSTRACT
Orchestration is a form of organizational response to the challenges of erratic environmental change, through organizational knowledge-based and collective efforts. Collaborative efforts of organizations to achieve better performance through ordinary capability and dynamic capability. Orchestration is performed through a combination of operating capabilities and dynamic capabilities, which are known as dynamic bundles. Studies to find new gaps are needed to expand dynamic bundles. Resources are an important factor, so orchestration is important regarding capabilities and resources. The combination of knowledge with capabilities is a source of organizational success. Knowledge-based resources, which are specialized knowledge, increase environmental awareness capabilities and are an important factor for performance. This paper aims to explore the role of bundles or resource configurations and capabilities and their contribution to performance outcomes. This paper proposes a dynamic bundles orchestration that includes operational capabilities and dynamic capabilities as well as resources. In this research, the proposed resources are knowledge resources. Knowledge-based approach is important as a determinant of performance. This paper also contributes to conceptual knowledge in orchestration, or it can be called knowledge-based orchestration. Knowledge-based orchestration is expected to encourage organizations that have an impact on accelerating the recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic conditions. © IEOM Society International.
ABSTRACT
Attention to sustainability is important, along with the increasing pressure in organizations for sustainability programs. On its development, a number of researchers in the academic community argue on the understanding why and how corporations integrate the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) which includes social, environmental and economic performance. The COVID-19 pandemic situation encourages companies to play a role in sustainable development. Socially responsible is a part of social responsibility activities referring to the business responsiveness to society. Socially responsible operations is a form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. On the other hand, the researchers argue that business organizations are the source of important innovation, has social responsibility to direct public issues related to sustainability, where responsible innovation has a contribution to sustainable development. The aim of this study is to fill the literature gap by building a conceptual framework of socially responsible operation and socially responsible innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Another thing is also proposed the role of dynamic capabilities for sustainability. Dynamic capabilities are attractive because of their potential to improve the performance of organizational outcomes. Dynamic capabilities in this case include dynamic managerial capability and dynamic innovation capability in the efforts to develop company sustainability. © IEOM Society International.
