Abstract

This article provides a review and synthesis of the extant literature on dynamic capabilities in public organizations. Although this theoretical perspective holds potential to enhance our limited understanding of how public organizations change in response to their increasingly turbulent and complex environments, it has received little attention in the public management field. Against this backdrop, this article seeks to contribute to future research on public sector change by advancing an analytical model that captures the antecedents, microfoundations and effects of dynamic capabilities in public organizations.
