Hi all, 

We are currently conducting a meta-analysis on the relationship between adaptability, flexibility, agility, or related concepts and innovation at the firm level. To get the best overview of the magnitude of these relationships, it is crucial that we include unpublished studies in this area.

Therefore, we are looking for any unpublished quantitative studies investigating this relationship. We are interested in all concepts related to adaptability as long as they are measured at the firm level (including different areas, such as strategic flexibility or supply chain agility).

Requested Necessary Information (if you cannot or do not want to provide the full text):

• Correlation coefficient (r) between any concept related to firm-level adaptability and any concept capturing firm-level innovation
• The sample size (i.e., the number of firms)
• The reference to be included in our reference list

We are looking for any unpublished manuscripts, such as early-stage work in progress or articles in press, as well as grey literature, such as conference presentations/proceedings, working papers, or dissertations.

If you are willing to share any relevant work, please send the full paper and/or the requested necessary information to j.backmann@uni-muenster.de.

The provision of effect sizes by the original authors of primary studies, especially for unpublished and grey literature, is a crucial step in gathering data for meta-analyses, and we would greatly appreciate your help. Naturally, we will properly cite and acknowledge your research if we include it as a primary study in our analysis.

Thank you in advance for your help. Best wishes,

Julia
