This ability enables firms and industries to innovate and disrupt to generate value for appropriation. Although extensive research has been done within strategic management on an organisation’s ability to sense, seize and adapt in response to changes in market conditions and opportunities, organisations continue to struggle to effectively reconfigure themselves in alignment with their external environment. Particularly in environments being disrupted by innovation. The research explores the role of innovation and disruption on organisational competitiveness and competitive advantage in the Eswatini retail banking industry. This qualitative study employed thematic analysis on data collected from 11 semi-structured interviews from senior and executive managers in Eswatini’s retail banking industry. The research contributes towards the body of knowledge on strategic management in environments characterised by innovation and disruption led shifts in competitiveness. It establishes the importance of strategic adaptability and organisational resource optimisation for sustained organisational performance. pagibs2024 2024-05-10T10:19:24Z 2024-05-10T10:19:24Z 2024-04-17 2024-04-17 Mini Dissertation * A2024 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/95905 en © 2023 University of Pretoria.
