Les chercheurs des écoles de management acceptent généralement une perspective déterministe du comportement, selon laquelle l’obéissance est le produit de forces sociales agissant sur les individus et causant leur comportement. Cette perspective a reçu une validation empirique dans les célèbres études de Solomon Asch et de Staley Milgram. Cependant, les archives de ces expériences permettent d’interpréter leurs résultats surprenant dans un autre sens : si les personnes qui en furent les sujets se comportèrent comme elles le firent, c’est parce qu’elles croyaient bien faire. En d’autres termes, leur obéissance reflétait un choix libre et délibéré.

Based on institutional theory and the dynamic capability view, this study delves into the relationship between a firm's climate change adaptation (CCA) capability and its performance, with a focus on the mediating influence of business-to-business (B2B) marketing capability. The study poses two main research questions: RQ1: What role do institutional pressures play in fostering CCA capability among B2B firms in both developed and developing countries? RQ2: How does the CCA capability of B2B firms impact their performance? To validate the theoretical model developed, data is collected through surveys conducted in a developed country (Australia) and a developing country (South Africa). The study holds significance on two fronts: (a) being among the first to examine the influence of institutional pressures on CCA capability development, and (b) uncovering the mediating role of marketing capability in enhancing B2B firm performance through CCA capability. The study's novel contribution lies in identifying pivotal elements for driving exceptional B2B firm performance amidst climate change, while employing institutional theory and the dynamic capability view to elucidate underlying mechanisms.
