Analysis shows a significant link between strategic leadership and competitive advantage in food companies, indicating the necessity for management evolution.
The study explored the influence of strategic leadership, organizational innovativeness, and information technology capabilities on effective competitive advantage within food industrial companies located in the Sahab region of Jordan. A total of (270) questionnaires were distributed to upper and middle management in these companies, with (216) being successfully collected. The data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. Findings revealed a significant correlation between strategic leadership, organizational innovativeness, IT capabilities, and effective competitive advantage. The study advocates for a transformative shift from the current management practices in Jordanian food industrial companies towards a leadership model driven by strategic leaders. This shift should be complemented by enhanced innovation and optimal use of available IT capability.
