UNDERSTANDING DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES: A THEORETICAL STUDY

Dynamic Capabilities (DCs) has drawn the attention of researchers in the field of study of organizational strategy. DC can be seen as one of the underlying theories in the search for understanding of competitive advantage. However, it is unclear how the DCs develop and operate within organizations. Accordingly, this study aims to contribute to the understanding of DC by identifying motivators, processes and results of the DC, anticipating future discussions on the DC, and contributing to future studies on the topic. Through a literature review, we identified the main aspects of DC and suggest propositions regarding theoretical aspects of DC.
