Abstract
Recent theoretical discussions have emphasized that organizational processes are a central feature of capabilities. Little is known, however, about the underlying processes through which organizations undergo a change in resource position or operational capability and how these processes are associated with dynamic capabilities. A review of case studies that draw upon the dynamic capabilities approach is conducted to shed light upon this relationship and explore what enables the underlying processes through which dynamic capabilities are developed and deployed. Demonstrating that there is no strict distinction between the processes of dynamic capability development or deployment, our analysis of the case studies reveals that six classes of underlying processes exist that underpin both building new capabilities and putting existing capabilities into use. The core contribution of our paper is insight into the operation of an organization's dynamic capabilities. Findings show that dynamic capabilities operate as a function of a bundle of reinforcing underlying processes, which in turn emerge from core drivers that promote, guide, support and direct these bundles. Overall we contribute to the emerging discussion on the "process side" of dynamic capabilities by emphasizing refocusing this discussion on the relationship of dynamic capabilities, underlying processes and their drivers as a primary consideration for future research.
