Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - Dynamic Managerial Capabilities

Hello dear friends and colleagues

Today, we discuss a very interesting sub-concept of dynamic capabilities - Dynamic Managerial Capabilities. In 2003 Adner and Helfat proposed this notion in order to emphasise the role of an individual manager as dynamic capabilities discussion seemed to lack this aspect. They presented their vision on the micro-foundations of the proposed concept. In this episode, I elaborate on their idea. Enjoy!

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - Absorptive Capacities

Hello everybody

 

In our today's show, I talk about a concept closely related to the concept of dynamic capabilities. Absorptive capacities relate to the ability of an organisation to acquire new knowledge. Actually, the concept is pretty straightforward: if you want to acquire new knowledge, you have to be ready for it and you need to have other knowledge that is a kind of prerequisite to the focal knowledge. E.g. if you want to adopt AI in your firm, you need to know not only what AI is but you also need to be able to describe your processes, have experience in optimising your processes, and your need to have the necessary personnel and infrastructure. If you are not ready to absorb, the new technology (or even the needed personnel) will not find the "place" in your firm.

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - Routines vs Heuristics

Hello everyone!

This episode of my podcast is dedicated to one of the debates in the field of dynamic capabilities. In the year 2000, Eisenhardt and Martin wrote a paper where they suggested that a dynamic capability as a routine cannot work under conditions of high environmental dynamism. They proposed the "rules of thumb" that we usually call heuristics - a kind of mental shortcut to reduce the complexity of the environment and speed up decision-making.  But can an organisational (dynamic) capability have a form of a heuristic?

We discuss this issue in this episode! Enjoy!

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - DC Structure

Hello and welcome!

Today we talk about the next aspects of the topic of organisational capabilities - the structure of a dynamic capability of the firm. There are several approaches. However, the approach by Teece (2007) is the most popular one. According to his view, a dynamic capability is formed by three capacitities:

- sensing capacity, i.e. a capacity of a firm to sense and shape market change,

- seizing capacity, i.e. a capacity of a firm to seize an opportunity, and

- reconfiguration capacity, i.e. a capacity of a firm to reconfigure resource base of the firm in order to implement the decision made.

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - DCV Theoretical Issues

Hello everybody

Today, I share with you a new episode of my podcast. We continue elaborating on the concept of dynamic capabilities. In this short episode, I introduce you to one of the theoretical problems with the Dynamic Capabilities View. There is an "ad infinitum" problem of dynamic capabilities - do we need a dynamic capability to change the existing capability that aims at capability reconfiguration? Do we need more and more complex constructs in order to cope with the issue? An alternative approach proposes a self-reflective approach to dynamic capabilities. Yet, this approach changes the nature of the whole theory. In this episode, I explain why it might be an issue.

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - Dynamic Capabilities View

Welcome to the new episode in my mini-series on organisational capabilities. Today, I talk about a relatively recent development in the capabilities field - the dynamic capabilities view. The concept of dynamic capabilities has become very popular over the last 20 years (now we observe the maturity and the beginning of the decay of the popularity of the concept). Dynamic capabilities aim to answer the question: "How can an organisation dynamically adapt to the changing markets?"

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - A Definition

Hello everybody

 

this episode is dedicated to the problem of a definition of an organisational capability. This topic is very abstract but it is important to talk about it. Otherwise, we might have issues with the capability measurement.

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - Capability-based View

Hello and welcome to my show on Management Research!

In this episode, we continue elaborating on the theoretical foundation necessary to understand the role of organisational capabilities (or competencies; similar to other scholars in the field, I use these terms as synonyms). In the current episode, I talk about the differences between RBV (our previous episode) and CBV. 

I hope you enjoy the show and learn to know your and your firm's capabilities better!

Management Research: Organisational Capabilities - Resource-based View

Hello and welcome to my new mini-series on organisational capabilities

In this mini-series, I'll try to shed light on the abstract and hardly understandable (for practitioners as well as academics) concept of organisational capabilities. The mini-series starts with the episode on the Resource-based View (RBV). Enjoy, comment, and make suggestions concerning the topics you would like to know about.
