High Performance. Delivered: A study on what can be dynamic managerial capabilities

Sammanfattning: Dynamic capabilities are an important part of the resource-based view, which tries to explain how firms manipulate their resource bases to create competitive advantage. More recently, the concept of dynamic managerial capabilities has emerged to explain managers' part in this manipulation. However, examples of what these capabilities can be in practice have been missing in strategic research. Our study is an attempt to give indications of what can be dynamic managerial capabilities in practice. Based on a literature review and a quantitative study, we find five different types of possible capabilities. We also make findings suggesting that the characteristics of dynamic managerial capabilities vary with industry velocity. We specify two main areas for further research within the subject.
