David J. Teece, +2 more
- 01 Aug 1997 - 
TL;DR: The dynamic capabilities framework as mentioned in this paper analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change, and suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technology change depends in large measure on honing intemal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm.

Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Reconceptualising the co-evolution of firms-in-industries and their environments: developing an inter-disciplinary triple embeddedness framework" ?

This inter-disciplinary theory-building paper is motivated by the debate on grand societal challenges and by calls in the innovation studies literature for frameworks that offer a better understanding of the co-evolution of industries and their economic, political, cultural, and social environments. In response to these debates, the paper develops a new triple embeddedness framework ( TEF ), which conceptualizes firms-in-industries as embedded in two external ( economic and socio-political ) environments and in an industry regime which mediates strategic actions towards the external environments. The TEF ’ s theoretical logic draws on the adaptation-selection debate, which suggests that the co-evolution phenomenon can be approached from two angles.
