”Dynamic capabilitiesWe define dynamic capabilities as the firm’s ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments. Dynamic capabilities thus reflect an organization’s ability to achieve new and innovative forms of competitive advantage given path dependencies and market positions(Leonard-Barton, 1992).”
(From Strategic Management Journal, Vol. 18:7, 509–533 (1997) Dynamic capabilities and strategic management by David J. Teece, Gary Pisano and Amy Shuen p. 516)
”The concept of dynamic capabilities as a coordinative management process opens the door to the potential and incentives, is critical to the understanding of for interorganizational learning. Researchers (Doz and Shuen, 1990; Mody, 1993) have pointed out that collaborations and partnerships can be a vehicle for new organizational learning, helping firms to recognize dysfunctional routines, and preventing strategic blindspots.”
