Purpose

This paper aims to categorize and organize dynamic capabilities that have been inductively identified in empirical research into a comprehensive taxonomy. Thus, it addresses calls in the literature for a better understanding of dynamic capabilities and integration of scattered empirical findings into theory.

Design/methodology/approach

A systematic literature review approach was adopted, with a total of 34 articles published between August 2007 and April 2020, from which 240 idiosyncratic dynamic capabilities were identified. The taxonomy was constructed using the Gioia-method.

Findings

The main finding is a three-level taxonomy of dynamic capabilities (DC). Level DC-1 is based on the existing triad of sensing, seizing and transforming. Level DC-2 is newly introduced to the literature by this study, consisting of 19 dynamic sub-capabilities that categorize and organize all 240 idiosyncratic dynamic capabilities in the sample (level DC-3). The taxonomy supports the existing claim that dynamic capabilities are common in key features and idiosyncratic in details. Moreover, theoretical connections to business model innovation and ambidexterity are indicated.

Practical implications

This study integrates scattered empirical findings of specific dynamic capabilities and translates them to a practitioner audience. The taxonomy allows the strategic manager to understand what they specifically are and, thus, assess the dynamic capability endowment of the firm which allows deploying, developing and fostering them.

Originality/value

The taxonomy provides a comprehensive and tangible picture of what dynamic capabilities look like in practice. It improves existing knowledge and understanding by bridging the rigor-relevance gap between rather rigorous conceptual literature and rather relevant empirical research as it integrates them. As such, it can serve as a “map” of dynamic capabilities for scholars and practitioners.

走向动态能力的分类——系统的文献综述

目的

本文旨在将在实证研究中归纳确定的动态能力分类和组织成一个综合分类法。因此,它解决了文献中关于更好地理解动态能力和将分散的实证结果整合到理论中的呼吁。

设计/方法/方法

采用系统文献综述方法,在 2007 年 8 月至 2020 年 4 月期间共发表文章 34 篇,从中确定了 240 种特殊的动态能力。分类法是使用 Gioia 方法构建的。

发现

主要发现是动态能力(DC)的三级分类。DC-1级基于现有的感知、捕获和转换三元组。本研究将 DC-2 级新引入文献,由 19 个动态子能力组成,对样本中的所有 240 个特殊动态能力进行分类和组织(DC-3 级)。该分类支持现有的说法,即动态能力在关键特性中很常见,但在细节上很特殊。此外,还指出了与商业模式创新和二元性的理论联系。

实际影响

本研究整合了特定动态能力的零散实证结果,并将其转化为从业人员。分类法允许战略经理了解他们具体是什么,从而评估允许部署、开发和培养他们的公司的动态能力禀赋。

原创性/价值

该分类法提供了动态能力在实践中的全面而切实的画面。它通过弥合相当严格的概念文献和相当相关的实证研究之间的严格相关性差距来改进现有的知识和理解,因为它整合了它们。因此,它可以作为学者和实践者动态能力的“地图”。
