The purpose of the current study is to identify the nature, scope and locus of and to systematize, the conceptual contradictions existing in dynamic capabilities research.,This paper employs a content analysis literature review of 86 papers on dynamic capabilities published between 1997 and 2019, using two databases – EBSCO and Web of Science/Knowledge databases. To structure the review, Smith and Lewis's (2011) categorization of organizational tensions is adopted.,First, the findings of this study suggest that DCs not only are shaped by a tension between efficiency and flexibility but also are built upon a large number of contradictory aspects, represented by organizing, performing, belonging and learning paradoxes. Second, the analysis identifies defensive and active responses to these tensions, with the former prevailing in the dynamic capabilities view literature. Both kinds of responses may facilitate or hinder organizational change. Third, it was found that while the literature has focused predominantly on organizing and learning paradoxes, the linkage between these categories remains under-researched.,This study makes three contributions. First, it identifies the scope (i.e. number), locus (analytical level) and nature (paradox categories and sub-categories) of DC-related paradoxes and responses to paradoxical tensions. Second, it shows that the nature and locus of conceptual contradictions are more complex than conceptualized in prior studies, going beyond the contingency and ambidexterity argument of how to deal with DC-related paradoxes. Third, it seeks to extend Di Stefano et al.'s (2014) proposition of integrating paradoxical views on different DC-related aspects. The idea of “audio console” introduced in this study highlights the interrelation of paradoxes between the categories and across analytical levels.

动态能力研究的悖论本质:文献的内容分析

本研究的目的是识别动态能力研究中存在的概念矛盾的性质,范围和源头,并将其系统化。本文采用内容分析文献综述的方法,对1997年至2019年发表的86篇关于动态能力的论文进行了研究,使用两个数据库-EBSCO和Web of Science /知识数据库。为了构建该评论,我们采用了Smith and Lewis(2011)的组织紧张度分类。首先,这项研究的结果表明,DC不仅受到效率和灵活性之间的紧张关系的影响,而且还建立在大量相互矛盾的基础上以组织,表演,归属和学习悖论为代表的方面。其次,分析确定了对这些紧张局势的防御和积极反应,在动态能力方面,前者占主导地位。两种回应都可能促进或阻碍组织变革。第三,发现尽管文献主要集中在组织和学习悖论上,但这些类别之间的联系仍处于研究不足的状态。本研究做出了三点贡献。首先,它确定了与DC相关的悖论的范围(即数量),轨迹(分析水平)和性质(悖论类别和子类别)以及对悖论张力的响应。其次,它表明概念矛盾的性质和根源比以前的研究更为复杂,超出了如何处理与DC相关的悖论的偶然性和歧义性论点。第三,它试图扩展Di Stefano等人。s(2014)关于整合与DC相关的不同方面的矛盾观点的主张。这项研究中引入的“音频控制台”的概念突出了类别之间以及跨分析级别的悖论的相互关系。
