We critically assess the state of play with the dynamic capability view (DCV) and explore its nature and scope, its relationship with extant theories, its application and applicability to the theory of the multinational enterprise (MNE), and its relationship with business model innovation (BMI). We claim that the DCV should be considered a meta-theory-plus that is both applicable to and extends extant theories. We submit that, while it has contributed to the theory of the MNE and BMI, there remains scope to add more value, and that its progress has been hindered because of several limitations. These are both conceptual and in terms of operationalization and empirical testing. We find disconcerting the plurality of concepts, and the lack of a comprehensive conceptual framework and of theory-congruent proxies for the key variables. We are also concerned by the lack of econometric evidence that accounts for causal inferencing. These limitations need to be addressed for the DCV to realize its full potential, and we propose ways to go about it.

我们批判性地评估动态能力观 (DCV) 的现状，探索其性质和范围、与现有理论的关系、其在跨国企业 (MNE) 理论中的应用和适用性以及与商业模式创新的关系（体重指数）。我们声称 DCV 应该被认为是一种元理论加这既适用于现有的理论，也适用于现有的理论。我们认为，虽然它对 MNE 和 BMI 的理论做出了贡献，但仍有增加更多价值的空间，并且由于一些限制，它的进展受到了阻碍。这些都是概念性的，并且是在操作化和经验测试方面。我们发现概念的多样性令人不安，缺乏全面的概念框架和关键变量的理论一致代理。我们还担心缺乏解释因果推理的计量经济学证据。为了让 DCV 充分发挥其潜力，需要解决这些限制，我们提出了解决方法。
