Everything about Dynamic capabilities

Capability of an organization to adapt its resource base

In organizational theory, dynamic capability is the capability of an organization to purposefully adapt an organization's resource base. The concept was defined by David Teece, Gary Pisano, and Amy Shuen, in their 1997 paper Dynamic Capabilities and Strategic Management, as the firm's ability to engage in adapting, integrating, and reconfiguring internal and external organizational skills, resources, and functional competences to match the requirements of a changing environment. Teece (2007) refined the framework by identifying three clusters of dynamic capability: sensing, seizing, and transforming. With over 67,000 citations, the 1997 paper is among the most cited in the social sciences, and with over 260,000 total Google Scholar citations across his body of work, Teece is the most-cited scholar in business and management worldwide. He was named a Clarivate Citation Laureate in Economics in 2021. Wikipedia →
