Maurizio Zollo,Sidney G. Winter +1 more
TL;DR: The argument is made that dynamic capabilities are shaped by the coevolution of these learning mechanisms, and the relative effectiveness of these capability-building mechanisms is analyzed here as contingent upon selected features of the task to be learned, such as its frequency, homogeneity, and degree of causal ambiguity.

Understanding dynamic capabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, the strategic substance of capabilities involves patterning of activity, and that costly investments are typically required to create and sustain such patterning, for example, in product development, and whether higher-order capabilities are created or not depends on the costs and benefits of the investments relative to ad hoc problem solving.
