Dynamic capabilities, operational capabilities (educational-marketing) and performance

Abstract

Purpose -To verify the relationship between dynamic capabilities (DCs) and their impact on performance mediated by operational capabilities, considering educational technological capabilities and marketing capabilities in private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Brazil.Design/methodology/approach -A survey was carried out in 1.932 higher education institutions, resulting in 316 valid insertions. Research involved dynamic capabilities, operational capabilities, performance and environmental dynamism constructs.Findings -The research revealed the emergence and explanation of a competitor model containing relationships that had not been considered by previous models, i.e., the direct influence of technological educational capabilities on marketing capabilities.Originality/value -The results revealed greater managerial complexity when referring to the relationship between DCs and performance, and contribute to research concerning HEIs in Brazil and to academic management itself.

Dynamic Capabilities for Accreditation: Evidence in the Healthcare Sector

“…From the theoretical viewpoint, the outcomes of this study contribute to bridge the gaps relative to the lack of empirical evidence about dynamic capabilities (Laaksonen & Peltoniemi, 2018;Tondolo & Bitencourt, 2014), their lifecycle (Helfat & Peteraf, 2003), learning mechanisms (Meirelles & Camargo, 2014) and how they develop over time (Arend & Bromiley, 2009;Takahashi et al, 2017) and their relations with path dependencies (Vasconcellos et al, 2015) and operational capabilities (Schilke, Hu, & Helfat, 2018). In addition, we could spot the sources involved in their creation, how and why they were used, as well as the development options that were chosen and the paths followed in the moment of maturity.…”

Creation of dynamic capacities and their evolution through engineering projects

“…When an organization hires experts in each area, encourages the generation of new ideas and develops easily accessible communication systems, the organization reaches a higher level of accumulated experience (Zollo & Winter, 2002). In a context where technological, regulatory, and competitive conditions are subject to rapid change, systematic change efforts are needed to accompany the environmental changes (Takahashi et al, 2017;Zollo & Winter, 2002).…”

“…The concept of dynamic capabilities (DCs) arose to identify the sources of enterpriselevel competitive advantage over time (Teece, Pisano & Shuen, 1997) and appeared as a valuable theoretical approach to promote a better understanding of the reconfiguration of knowledge through routines (Di Stefano, Peteraf, & Verona, 2010). Most of the contributions are theoretical and study the concept, nature, and role of DCs, the mechanisms for their creation, and their results (Baretto, 2010;Di Stefano et al, 2010;Takahashi, Bulgacov & Giacomini, 2017;Wilden, Devinney & Dowling, 2016). Despite these efforts, the concept is still in need of theoretical and empirical development.…”

“…Wang, 2016), educación (ej. Takahashi, Bulgacov & Giacomini, 2017), química (ej. Reuter, Foerstl, Hartmann & Blome, 2010), entre otras.…”

“…Posteriormente, surgió la tercera pregunta que orientó la revisión de la literatura: ¿cómo se está investigando en el campo de las capacidades dinámicas? Al respecto, se identificaron investigaciones con diseño cuantitativo (ej, Lee et al, 2015;Lee, Wu, Kuo & Li, 2016;Takahashi et al, 2017), con diseño cualitativo de casos únicos (ej, Chang, Fu & Ku, 2015;Sune & Gibb, 2015), con diseño cualitativo de casos múltiples (ej, Pehrsson, Ghannad, Pehrsson, Abt, Chen, Erath & Hammarstig, 2015;Reuter et al, 2010), con diseño cualitativo con uso de la teoría fundamentada (ej, Dentoni, Bitzer & Pascucci, 2016;Kalali & Heidari, 2016) y estudios con diseños mixtos (ej, Ettlie & Pavlou, 2006;Simon, Bartle, Stockport, Smith, Klobas & Sohal, 2015). Del mismo modo, se identifica que la investigación conceptual está fuertemente presente en el campo de las capacidades dinámicas (ej.…”
