In this explorative study, we investigate the relationship between dynamic capabilities and innovation capabilities. Dynamic capabilities are at the core of strategic management in terms of how firms can ensure adaptation to changing environments over time. Our paper follows two paths of argumentation. First, we review and discuss some major contributions to the theories on ordinary capabilities, dynamic capabilities, and innovation capabilities. We seek to identify different understandings of the concepts in question, in order to clarify the distinctions and relationships between dynamic capabilities and innovation capabilities. Second, we present a case study of the ’Innovation Clinic’ at a major university hospital, including four innovation projects. We use this case study to explore and discuss how dynamic capabilities can be extended, as well as to what extent innovation capabilities can be said to be dynamic. In our conclusion, we discuss the conditions for nurturing ‘dynamic innovation capabilities’ in organizations.

动态能力和创新能力：“创新诊所”案例

在这项探索性研究中，我们研究了动态能力和创新能力之间的关系。就企业如何确保随时间推移适应不断变化的环境而言，动态能力是战略管理的核心。我们的论文遵循两种论点。首先，我们回顾并讨论对普通能力，动态能力和创新能力理论的一些主要贡献。我们试图确定对所讨论概念的不同理解，以阐明动态能力和创新能力之间的区别和关系。其次，我们介绍了一家大型大学医院的“创新诊所”的案例研究，包括四个创新项目。我们使用此案例研究来探索和讨论如何扩展动态功能，以及创新能力在多大程度上可以说是动态的。在我们的结论中，我们讨论了在组织中培养“动态创新能力”的条件。
