Although this paper focuses on managerial capabilities in environmental scanning and
industry evolution, additional research in the following directions is necessary to further
understand the characteristics of managerial resources that are valuable to firms and how to
convert managerial resources into productive managerial services as an industry evolves.
This paper directly connects managerial capabilities in environmental scanning and firm
performance, ignoring the heterogeneity of firm strategies that managers implemented. The
same set of managerial capabilities might result in different strategies because there are more
than one means to the same end. If heterogenic strategies among firms are observed, do
heterogenic managerial capabilities contribute to the phenomenon? In addition, it is crucial
to determine how the design of corporate governance structure moderates the effect of
managerial capabilities on firm performance and whether the structure should be adjusted
according to the industry.
