The literature on dynamic capabilities is confusing, full of overlapping definitions, and contradictions. The theoretical and practical importance of developing and applying dynamic capabilities to sustain competitive advantage in complex external environment is central in studies about strategy nowadays. In this paper, we offer a definition of dynamic capabilities under two aspects: first, it refers to the shifting character of the environment; second, it emphasizes the key role of strategic management in appropriately adapting, integrating, and re-configuring internal and external organizational skills, resources, and functional competences towards a changing environment. This paper aims to clarify the concept of dynamic capabilities, propose an analytical framework that connects this “new” concept to a well known and recognized generic strategic model (Miles and Snow, 1978) and to the concept of sustainable competitive advantage and evolutionary fit.

RESUMOUma consideração expandida é necessária para explicar como a vantagem competitiva é conquistada e mantida. A literatura sobre as capacidades dinâmicas é confusa, cheia de definições sobrepostas e contradições. A importância teórica e prática de desenvolver e aplicar capacidades dinâmicas para sustentar a vantagem competitiva em um ambiente externo complexo é fundamental nos estudos estratégicos atuais. Neste trabalho, oferecemos uma definição de capacidades dinâmicas sob dois aspectos: primeiro, o caráter de mudança do ambiente e, segundo, esta definição enfatiza o papel chave da gestão estratégica em adaptar apropriadamente, integrando e reconfigurando as habilidades organizacionais internas e externas, recursos e competências funcionais para mudar o ambiente. Este estudo visa esclarecer o conceito de capacidades dinâmicas, propor um quadro analítico que conecta este "novo" conceito a um bem conhecido e reconhecido modelo estratégico genérico (Miles e Snow, 1978) e ao conceito de vantagem competitiva sustentável evolutiva. AN ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR MILES AND SNOW TYPOLOGY AND DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES ABSTRACTAn expanded consideration is needed to explain how competitive advantage is gained and held. The literature on dynamic capabilities is confusing, full of overlapping definitions, and contradictions. The theoretical and practical importance of developing and applying dynamic capabilities to sustain competitive advantage in complex external environment is central in strategy studies nowadays. In this paper, we offer a definition of dynamic capabilities under two aspects: first, it refers to the shifting character of the environment; second, it emphasizes the key role of strategic management in appropriately adapting, integrating, and re-configuring internal and external organizational skills, resources, and functional competences toward changing environment.

UN MARCO ANALÍTICO PARA CAPACIDADES DINÁMICAS Y TIPO DE MILES Y SNOW RESUMENEs necesario un examen ampliado para explicar cómo se logra y se mantiene la ventaja competitiva. La literatura sobre las capacidades dinámicas es confuso, lleno de contradicciones y las definiciones que se superponen. La importancia teórica y práctica del desarrollo y aplicación de las capacidades dinámicas para mantener una ventaja competitiva en un entorno externo complejo es crítica en los estudios estratégicos actuales. En este trabajo, ofrecemos una definición de las capacidades dinámicas en dos aspectos: en primer lugar, la naturaleza del cambio y el medio ambiente, de acuerdo con esta definición hace hincapié en el papel clave de la gestión estratégica en forma adecuada la adaptación, la integración y la reconfiguración de las habilidades organizativas internas y externas, los recursos y ...
