Conceptual model and IT system for organizational capability management

Organizational Capability Approach opens new perspectives for developing and sharing organizational competencies around the strategy of globalized companies. This paper explores this approach and aims at implementing it practically. Thus it provides a conceptual model named C-makers, which is then used in the design of IT solutions to manage organizational capabilities (mechanisms for transfer, assessment, renewal). These propositions are finally experimented on the case of an automotive supplier, Valeo Group.
