动态能力与战略管理（英文版）.PDF25

The dynamic capabilities framework analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and
capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change.
The competitive advantage of firms is seen as resting on distinctive processes (ways of
coordinating and combining), shaped by the firm’s (specific) asset positions (such as the firm’s
portfolio of difficult-to-trade knowledge assets and complementary assets), and the evolution
path(s) it has adopted or inherited. The importance of path dependencies is amplified where
conditions of increasing returns exist. Whether and how a firm’s competitive advantage is
eroded depends on the stability of market demand, and the ease of replicability (expanding
internally) and imitatability (replication by competitors). If correct, the framework suggests
that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technological change depends in large measure
on honing internal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm. In
short, identifying new opportunities and organizing effectively and efficiently to embrace them
are generally more fundamental to private wealth creation than is strategizing, if by strategizing
one means engaging in business conduct that keeps competitors off balance, raises rival’s
costs, and excludes new entrants. Ó 1997 by John Wiley
