Abstract
Utilising the lens of dynamic capabilities, this paper adopts a case study approach to help understand how small firms are leveraging marketing capabilities with the use of digital technologies as a resource within the context of the changing market dynamics of the food service and hospitality industry impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The preliminary findings have revealed that while the need for building an online presence was not previously alien to small firms, the pandemic has made these cases reassess the true value of digital technologies in business. Their ability to reconfigure the resource base by leveraging digital technologies can be considered to be a form of dynamic capability in small firms.
