TLDR
In this paper, the authors synthesize the diverse scholarly literature about dynamic capabilities (DCs) and develop a more integrated understanding to minimize the reported apparent vagueness, and apply morphological analysis (MA) to develop a multi-dimensional conceptual framework comprising five dimensions and 26 variants that enable a structured representation of the conceptual foundations of DCs.Abstract:
The growth, diversity and applications of research into dynamic capabilities (DCs) have resulted in the whole literature on DCs becoming a complex and disconnected body of knowledge. This has led to criticisms of the subject of DCs as being vague, tautological and without practical value. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to synthesize the diverse scholarly literature about DCs and develop a more integrated understanding to minimize the reported apparent vagueness.,In this paper, the authors review various relevant themes on DCs using a selection of 133 articles published in 22 recognized, top-tier management journals during the period between 1990 and 2016, with an aim to build a structured and integrated theory. For this, morphological analysis (MA), a systems-thinking technique, is applied.,MA is applied to develop a multi-dimensional conceptual framework comprising five dimensions and 26 variants that enable a structured representation of the conceptual foundations of DCs. Further, the authors identify 81 individual DCs noted by various scholars; elucidate assumptions and antecedents relevant to the DCs approach; structure the key characteristics; and expound the input factors, impacting factors, desired outcomes and assessment yardsticks.,This would be a useful resource for researchers working in the area of DCs to explore opportunities for future research.,The MA framework helps managers to look at DCs more holistically, and hence would help them in developing, managing and retaining DCs in organizations.,This study is the original work contributed by the authors and has no specific organizational reference. This research implies new directions to look beyond individual DCs in firms toward a more integrated theory building.read more

From resource base to dynamic capabilities : an investigation of new firms
Alexander McKelvie,Per Davidsson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors empirically measure four dynamic capabilities and find that the nature and effect of resources employed in the development of these capabilities vary greatly, with positive effects stemming from access to particular resources and unexpected negative effects also appearing.

Manifestations of Higher-Order Routines: The Underlying Mechanisms of Deliberate Learning in the Context of Postacquisition Integration
TL;DR: It is argued that experience codification gives rise to inertial forces that hamper the customization of routines to any given acquisition, and that successful acquirers develop higher-order routines that prevent the generalization of inapplicable ('zero-order') codified routines.

The Path of Most Persistence: An Evolutionary Perspective on Path Dependence and Dynamic Capabilities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the dynamic capability view and research on organizational path dependence by arguing that path dependence can be a property of capabilities when a contingently-triggered capability path is subject to self-reinforcement (i.e., a set of positive and negative mechanisms that increases the attractiveness of a path relative to others).

The elephant in the room of dynamic capabilities: Bringing two diverging conversations together
TL;DR: In this article, the authors of the two seminal papers represent not only different but contradictory understandings of the construct's core elements, and they explore the reasons for this, using author cocitation analysis to inform their analysis.

Alliance Capabilities Review and Research Agenda
Yongzhi Wang,Nandini Rajagopalan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of the growing body of empirical research on alliance capabilities has been undertaken to help us understand why and how capabilities matter, and their outcomes in terms of a framework that distinguishes between three levels of analysis, an individual alliance versus a portfolio versus a dyad; and two stages of the alliance, preformation versus postformation.

TL;DR: The authors propose to explain how dynamic marketing capabilities work and precisely which marketing processes promote both components, through absorptive capacity and knowledge management, by identifying these components and relating them in an integrative model.

Building Dynamic Capabilities of Adaptation and Innovation: A Study of Micro-Foundations in a Transition Economy
TL;DR: The detailed nature of these dynamic capabilities along with their antecedents are explored by tracing the sequence of their development based on a longitudinal case study of an organization subject to an external context of radical transition — the Russian oil company, Yukos.
