Abstract  
The in-depth study on the role of leadership especially digital leadership on the creation of strategic alliance and dynamic  
capability has not being explored. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to examine what are the roles of digital leadership in  
developing strategic alliance and dynamic capability based on market orientation. We argue that digital leadership behaviors have a  
stronger influence on the development of strategic alliance to drive dynamic capabilities based on market orientation. A quantitative  
method is used comprising 88 senior leaders of Indonesian telecommunication. The purposive sampling methods is used with the  
statistical tool is Smart PLS. The findings confirm the significant influence directly and indirectly between digital leadership and the  
development of strategic alliance and dynamic capabilities based on market orientation. The study has practical implication to take  
the priority in developing of digital leadership in enforcing the transformation. the limitations of study could be identified as the  
sample, time and used statistical tools, hence the further study can be extended in term of sample quantity, time horizon to become  
longitudinal research.

environment, the firm shall apply the dynamic capability  
including the flexibility to form dynamic alliance with  
partners (36). The key success factor in managing partners is  
relationship with partners and maintain governance to  
provide trust with partners (44). The changing of  
environment and capability to more dynamic due to digital  
technology impact to the leadership behavior. In digital era,  
the leadership behavior will combine the leadership style with  
digital technology called by digital leadership (48). We  
contribute to this study on the role and influence of digital  
leadership within the alliance capability to perform the firms  
on dynamic capability-based market orientation as a distinct  
operational capability and determinant the relationship to  
support the alliance success.  
In Management context the development of capabilities  
has been discussed intensively consist of routines activities  
and how the organization has capability to reconfigure to  
adapt with the dynamic change (1, 10, 40). Those dynamic  
adaption change focus on the capability of resource to adapt  
the change and reconfigure from routine operation (13).  
However, the previous study has not clear find the  
implication of dynamic capability in relation with  
performance whether it will direct or indirect influence.  
While some finding found that the dynamic capability has  
Industry resolution 4.0 dominated by Digital technologies  
have driven the change of paradigm in doing the business.  
The organization firms form the alliance to leverage the  
capabilities and fulfill the capability gap for driving  
sustainability. The alliance appears an interested topic by  
combining with business model innovation to maintain  
survival of the firms (43). The critical part of the firm success  
in alliance with partners was match with the company  
criteria in term of culture, decision making process and  
system in integrating with existing asset (8). Besides that,  
the innovation can be explored and exploited when the parties  
could perform trust and managing potential conflicting  
strategic choices (27). The disruptive era with digital  
technology imposes the market and customer become  
complex and force complexity on the market called by  
Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA)  
(
Pandit, Joshi, Sahay, & Gupta, 2018). The firm is required to  
have an orientation on the market and customers, while  
another challenge is to manage alliance capability with  
partners. On the previous study, in entrepreneurship

indirect on performance through operational performance  
creative, (2) deep knowledge (3) strong network and  
collaboration, (4) loyal participation via vision (41) Another  
study, Zhu (2015) found similar characteristic of digital  
leadership consists of 5 style as follow (1) creative (2)  
thinkers, (3) global visionary and willing to collaborate, (4)  
inquisitive leader and (5) profound leader (48). In this study  
we use 5 dimension driven from Zhu as follow: creative,  
deep knowledge, Global vision and collaboration, thinker,  
inquisitive.  
(
10, 13, 36) and others recommend that dynamic capabilities  
have a direct influence on firm performance (9, 19)  
The development of dynamic capability has broad range  
of firm operational activities to support business  
development, innovation and alliance (37). In the business  
development, the dynamic capability has intensively  
discussed in development product and service innovation (6,  
9
, 25). While the dynamic capability mostly used for  
development innovation capability, especially for business  
model innovation (4, 37, 45). As regard with alliance  
capability, on the previous study, there has been no empirical  
study on the development dynamic capability o base on the  
alliance capability, nor the influence of digital leadership and  
market orientation on the context of digital transformation.  
We argue that in digital era the firm that focus on market  
orientation and has the digital leadership based on market  
orientation has an effect directly or indirectly to form the  
alliance capability in development of dynamic capability.  
Market orientation is defined as an organization culture  
where it could be more effective and efficient in creating  
superior value of buyers to achieve superior performance  
firms (26). Market orientation in the context of organization  
have meaning that the customers has to be well known by  
firms as part of market intelligence where the information of  
customer have been disseminated across organization unit  
2.2 Dynamic Capability  
The enhancement of study in resources base view as the  
anticipation of complex and dynamic environment creates  
Dynamic capability to address the organization capability to  
adapt with the change from existing routine resources,  
process, product and services to new capabilities (13, 37).  
The dynamic capability emphasized that the resources  
capabilities of organization can be created, extended and  
modified to align with the changing up to creating new  
paradigm of transformation (35). The transformation can be  
done integrating, building and reconfiguring the competence  
as part of sensing, seizing and transforming (10, 40). The  
capability development in dynamic capability consists of  
adaptive capability, strategic capability, management  
capability and innovation capability (24, 39).  
(
32). The development of market orientation as part of  
2.3 Alliance Capabilities  
organization culture could be driven from manager or leader  
vision of the firm (24). In the context of digital era, the  
leadership has the role to provide a tangible vision and  
direction based on the analysis of market and combine with  
resources to drive the alliance outcomes (38). The reason  
behind alliance is the construct of leadership behavior,  
cognitive and decision (31). Hence, leadership becomes a  
critical and influence in developing alliance capabilities. The  
combination of leadership competence and capability to  
optimize the use of digital technology called by digital  
leadership. However, the empirical study of relation of digital  
leadership directly or indirectly influence to alliance  
capability and dynamic capability as well as market  
orientation has not been intensively explored. Hence, this  
study aims on influence of digital leadership in making  
Building up the alliance in history of management  
describes a special capability of the organization to cooperate  
with other partners to grow together and strengthen the  
position of participant called as alliance capabilities (10, 40).  
The coordination and integration of knowledge and resources  
to achieve a common goals become an critical for alliance to  
success (16, 38). In previous study, it finds that alliances are  
source of competitive advantages (16, 45). However, some  
potential risk associate the form of alliance could be break up  
(8, 42). The most reason fails in alliance related with the  
relationship with partners and maintain governance to  
provide trust with partners (16, 44) . Lack of trust may lead to  
confusion impacts to the failure to achieve common  
objectives. Cravens & Piercy (2013) has defined the alliance  
capabilities consists of customer alliance, supplier alliance,  
lateral alliance and internal alliance. The vertical  
collaboration consists of the alliance between customer and  
supplier, while the horizontal alliance consists of  
collaboration between internal and lateral alliance. This study  
uses the dimension based on Craven’s definition.

.1 Digital Leadership  
2.4 Market Orientation  
The leadership style as  
a
core competence in  
The market orientation explains the behavior of  
communication, computing, content and telecommunication  
to contribute functionality toward development of knowledge  
society by optimize the digital technology called as digital  
leadership (33). The digital leadership is the critical part to  
drive the transformation toward digital capability firms (28).  
The development of digital leadership consists of integration  
organization to focus on the market in all activities in  
development of product and services (26). There are two  
organization concept in Market orientation concept related  
with behavior and cultural approach (11). The behavior  
emphasis on the organization style in delivering service and  
product to increase customer engagement and experience  
of culture and digital competence  
to utilize digital  
(
17). While the cultural approach focusses on the believe and  
technology as part of leadership style to create value to the  
firm (24). Due to the nature of digital where the information  
can be assessed globally, real time, transparent, hence the  
leadership in digital era have following characteristics: (1)  
the value proposition of organization to set the customers as  
the first priority. In the marketing orientation concept, the  
organization has the intelligence ability to adapt the

capability based on customer and market information and  
generate response to the market based on that information to  
enhance the firm performance. Hence, the organization based  
on market orientation has three intelligence capability as

survey was done started from November 2017 until January  
2018. According to Hair, et al (2014) the minimum required  
sample size is 52 respondents for the model with an  
endogenous construct has 2 arrows directed, 0.05 significance  
level, 80% statistical power and minimum R2 = 0.25 (12).  
However, this sample of this study was made up of 88  
respondent. This sample is higher than the recommended  
sample with the following respondents: 75% was Manager  
and General Manager and the rest 25% was VP and Board  
leader. 88% respondents were men and 12% were women.  
83% respondents come from network provider, while 17%  
from service providers. Data were collected via self-  
assessment through an online questionnaire and distributed  
through messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram and email. Since  
there is a limitation of data sample, the statistical a tool of  
analysis is SmartPLS.  
2.5 Hypothesis Development  
The previous study on the relation between the leadership  
and market orientation has found that the leadership has  
influence to market orientation as part of organization  
behavior (22, 30) in the digital era, the previous research  
found the relation between digital leadership and market  
orientation (24), hence the formulation of hypothesis as  
follow: (H1) Digital leadership has significant impact to  
market orientation in the Indonesian telecommunication  
industry. Leadership contributes significant influence in  
maintain stability of alliance capabilities as found in previous  
studies (15, 34). This finding also is happen in digital era

Results and Findings  
The measurement test is being used to measure the  
(
24). According those previous, we formulate hypothesis as  
relationship between latent variables and their indicators and  
follow: (H2) Digital leadership has significant impact to  
alliance capabilities in the Indonesian telecommunication  
industry. The market orientation has been found an critical  
part in enhancing alliance capability, especially in marketing  
alliance (18, 46). This phenomenon impacts as well in digital  
era (24), hence the following hypothesis can be stated as  
follow: (H3) Market orientation has significant impact to  
alliance capabilities in the Indonesian telecommunication  
industry. The role of leadership in developing dynamic  
capability was found significant influence (37, 38) , hence the  
hypothesis formulation can be stated as follow: (H4) Digital  
leadership has significant impact to dynamic capability in the  
Indonesian telecommunication industry. The market  
orientation has been found as part of dynamic capability of  
the organization behaviour (14, 24), hence it strengthens the  
hypothesis formulation that marketing orientation has  
influence to dynamic capability. (H5) Market orientation has  
significant impact to dynamic capability in the Indonesian  
telecommunication industry. While the alliance capability has  
been found has significant impact in driving dynamic  
capability (3, 16, 47). This previous study strengthening the  
third hypothesis where innovation management has relation  
to dynamic capability: (H6) Alliance capabilities has  
significant impact to dynamic capability in the Indonesian  
telecommunication industry.

market orientation. Since alliance capabilities has not  
significant influence on dynamic capabilities hence the path  
of digital leadership has no indirect significant on dynamic  
capability through alliances capability since the t-statistics  
result has less than 1.96 and p value more than 0.05.  
On blindfolding score result, the Q2 for the alliance  
capability has score 0.499, it means that the structural model  
has adequate predictive relevance with the complete figure of  
research model can be shown in Figure 2.  
4.3 Hypothesis Testing  
The partial Test of hypothesis to measure the significant  
direct relation between variable. The result of partial testing  
can be shown in Table 3. Table 3shows that digital leadership  
has direct significant influence on market orientation, alliance  
capability, and dynamic capability. While the market  
orientation has direct influence on alliance capability and  
dynamic capability as the result of T-statistics has higher than

.4 Discussion and Implication  
The study reveals that the issue in agility for incumbent  
has to defines vision and for growth and develop a vision of  
the future. The finding of the result of the study align with the  
phenomenon where the most important on digital leadership  
is global vision and collaboration follow by thinker and deep  
knowledge. This finding is revealed the previous study done  
by Shoemaker (2018) and Zhu (2015). The thinker and  
inquisitive are related with challenge and interpretation of the  
leaders to have ability to sense of the market change and  
support the seizing of the opportunity and mitigate the threat  
by having curiosity. The next capability is required from  
digital leadership are deep knowledge. This capability is  
related with the decision making based on deep knowledge  
due to the digital technology support. The deep knowledge is  
part of continuous learning of leaders. The last capability is  
creativity, where in digital era is critical to unleash numerous  
business model innovation. the emerge of Internet of things  
(IoT) has enable the connecting all industry parties. The  
combination of collaboration with virtual connectivity could  
mutate the new paradigm and form a remarkable innovation.  
still an issues in the development of dynamic capability based  
on alliance capability (20). Hence, the result of alliance  
capability has not influence on dynamic capabilities in  
Indonesia telecommunication industry. This finding reveals  
the study on the risk and the failure rate on the alliance  
success (8, 16). This results demonstrated even though the  
leaders has intention for collaboration (Global vision and  
collaboration T-score: 99.366), and the organization has  
focussed on responsiveness to the market (highest t-score in  
market orientation: 155.412), but the constraint related with  
the partners in term of right partners, the trust, the culture and  
common goals become an constraint in development of  
dynamic capability. Hence the incumbent firms still rely on  
the development of dynamic capability based on internal  
capability supported by market orientation behaviour. This  
finding reveals the concept of alliance based dynamic  
capability, where the trust and relation with the partners  
become an critical factors for the incumbent firms to form  
dynamic alliance capability (16) as shown in Figure 3.  
The development of dynamic capabilities is emphasised  
by the strong adaptive capability and management capability  
decision. This finding reveals the previous study that with the  
dynamic capability could enable an organization innovation  
to sense market change in detecting the weak signals, seize  
opportunities and threats to develop scenario and mitigate the  
risk, lastly transform the new paradigm and reshape their  
environment to navigate volatile future environments in  
turbulence environment (37, 40)  
In Digital era, the navigating in dynamic environment and  
a VUCA requires special leadership who combine the  
leadership capability and optimize the digital technology as  
part of opportunity to enhance the top line and mitigate the  
threat. Leaders must develop the individual capacity and  
competence to better manage uncertainty and create  
organizations adapt with strong dynamic capabilities. Leaders  
Figure 3: Dynamic Alliance Capability Framework  
(

The digital leadership is a central on development of  
dynamic capability that enabler the firm capability in  
transforming the digital capability. The continuous learning  
to adapt the changing take significant role on development  
digital leadership.

Conclusion  
1
The digital leadership has significant influence in driving  
market orientation, alliance management, and dynamic  
capability. However, the alliance management has not  
significant influence in development dynamic capability duet  
to the potential failure of alliance with partners related  
constraints with trust, culture and common goal. Hence, the  
incumbent firms’ choices the development of dynamic  
capability through development of internal organization that  
focus on market orientation. This study has limitation in term  
of sample size, methodology, time study, and research model  
hence further development the study can be enhance through  
enhancing the sample not only for ICT and Indonesia market,  
it can be across industry and countries. The sample and  
methodology were also limited; hence the future study can be  
enhanced through enhancement the sample and methodology  
of the research use large sample and advance statistical tool  
analysis. The longitudinal study can be enhancing to assess  
the long-term impact of digital leadership influence.
