AB  - This study aims to discern the moderating role
of the activity regime (exporter or not) on the relationship
between strategic capabilities and competitive strategies.
Referring to the resource-based approach we examine,
through a score, the simultaneous effect of five groups of
strategic capabilities; including managerial, technological,
marketing, information technology and market
linkages; on competitive strategies. Using a quantitative
hypothetico-deductive approach and among the structural
equations method, the study confirms the moderating
role of the activity regime on the relationship between
strategic capabilities and competitive strategies in a
sample of Tunisian manufacturing companies.
Nevertheless, this moderating effect has just reversed
the sense of the positive relationship between strategic
capabilities and competitive strategies.
