ABSTRACT Several studies have thus far linked diverse organizational outcomes as antecedents to dynamic capabilities, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, environmental dynamism, resources, knowledge management, organizational learning, and strategic planning. This study aims to fully assess how the model of strategic levers of control and dynamic capabilities framework are related, considering all conceptual dimensions and the profile of ITAIPU Binacional employees. The data was collected through a survey, and the hypotheses evaluated with the assistance of structural equation modelling, using the partial least squares estimation method. The findings validated the central hypothesis, that the levers of control do positively influence the presence of the dynamic capabilities, in addition to one other complementary hypothesis- that the interactive system also positively influences the ability to sense opportunities. The strategic levers of control can now be treated by organizations as possible sources of dynamic capabilities. entrepreneurship dynamism resources management learning planning related employees survey modelling method hypothesis opportunities

Healthcare firms need to develop cybersecurity learning mechanisms to respond faster and more proactively to a rapidly changing cybersecurity threat landscape. Many healthcare firms lack the necessary cybersecurity learning capabilities to address ever-changing and unpredictable cyberthreats effectively. In this case study, we investigate the challenges faced by a major South African healthcare software services firm that offers software as a service (SaaS) solutions. We analyse the inertial forces that impede the firm's cybersecurity learning capabilities by integrating concepts from dynamic cybersecurity learning capability (DCLC) and IS-enabled organisational learning perspectives. Furthermore, we identify strategic and operational level inertial forces through interviews with the organisation's experts and examination of cybersecurity documents. We then present actionable recommendations for industry practitioners to overcome these inertial forces and strengthen their cybersecurity learning capabilities. Our suggested interventions include implementing proactive leadership structures, enhancing user learning capabilities, and adopting novel risk management approaches. Additionally, we propose further directions for scholars to research the impact of inertial forces on dynamic cybersecurity learning capabilities in healthcare firms.

Organisational agility is crucial for organisations to thrive in dynamic business environments. While the Information Systems (IS) discipline recognises the need for IS to support organisational agility, current IS research has not sufficiently explained how organisations achieve agility given their sociotechnical contexts. Some scholars and practitioners propose scaling agility-building approaches from small software development teams to the enterprise level, and others argue that agility is not a predetermined outcome of linear processes, but instead emerges from intricate organisational contexts. Previous research proposed a conceptual model that identified the structural components of agility in IS. However, this structural perspective does not address the dynamic aspects of agility. To address this gap, two systematic literature reviews (SLR) were conducted to develop a conceptual framework for agility in sociotechnical contexts, which is the contribution this research makes to the IS field. The first SLR investigated frameworks that enable organisational agility. Consequently, the Cynefin framework was adopted to explain the dynamics of contextualised decision-making and agility. The second SLR identified the influence of heuristics on decision-making and dynamic capabilities. The resulting framework integrates the structural and dynamic aspects of agility in IS and explains how heuristics could potentially be managed to improve sociotechnical agility.

This article delves into the multifaceted mechanisms driving evolution, exploring the foundational principles of natural selection alongside advanced theories of cybernetics, symbiogenesis, and autopoiesis. Charles Darwin's concept of natural selection highlights the gradual adaptation of organisms, favoring traits that enhance survival and reproduction. This principle is further examined through the lens of sexual selection, which focuses on traits that increase reproductive success. Cybernetic theories, particularly those proposed by Stafford Beer, introduce regulatory functions and homeostatic balances that underscore the dynamic relationship between organisms and their environments. The role of symbiosis, as articulated in symbiogenesis, reveals how interspecies cooperation leads to significant evolutionary changes, such as the development of essential cellular organelles. The concept of autopoiesis and natural drift offers a paradigm where evolutionary change is a continuous adaptive process, maintaining structural and functional integrity within living systems. This perspective is expanded through the theory of system differentiation, which emphasizes the role of sexual reproduction and genetic recombination in driving species diversification and ecosystem complexity. Integrating these diverse frameworks, the article presents a comprehensive view of evolutionary processes, from the inheritance of acquired characteristics to the generation of new genetic variations through symbiosis and horizontal gene transfer. By synthesizing these insights, the article underscores the interconnectedness and resilience of living systems, offering profound implications for understanding biodiversity and the adaptive capabilities of life on Earth.

Este artículo profundiza en los mecanismos multifacéticos que impulsan la evolución, explorando los principios fundamentales de la selección natural junto con las teorías avanzadas de la cibernética, la simbiogénesis y la autopoiesis. El concepto de selección natural de Charles Darwin destaca la adaptación gradual de los organismos, favoreciendo los rasgos que mejoran la supervivencia y la reproducción. Este principio se examina más a fondo a través de la lente de la selección sexual, que se centra en los rasgos que aumentan el éxito reproductivo. Las teorías cibernéticas, en particular las propuestas por Stafford Beer, introducen funciones reguladoras y equilibrios homeostáticos que subrayan la relación dinámica entre los organismos y sus entornos. El papel de la simbiosis, tal como se articula en la simbiogénesis, revela cómo la cooperación entre especies conduce a cambios evolutivos significativos, como el desarrollo de orgánulos celulares esenciales. El concepto de autopoiesis y deriva natural ofrece un paradigma en el que el cambio evolutivo es un proceso adaptativo continuo, que mantiene la integridad estructural y funcional dentro de los sistemas vivos. Esta perspectiva se amplía a través de la teoría de la diferenciación de sistemas, que enfatiza el papel de la reproducción sexual y la recombinación genética en el impulso de la diversificación de especies y la complejidad de los ecosistemas. Integrando estos diversos marcos, el artículo presenta una visión integral de los procesos evolutivos, desde la herencia de características adquiridas hasta la generación de nuevas variaciones genéticas a través de la simbiosis y la transferencia horizontal de genes. Al sintetizar estas ideas, el artículo subraya la interconexión y la resiliencia de los sistemas vivos, ofreciendo profundas implicaciones para la comprensión de la biodiversidad y las capacidades de adaptación de la vida en la Tierra.

Abstract: This study examines how the sentiment values in the first part of the book entitled as “Underground” of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s ”Notes from Underground” change from words to sentences to paragraphs. Using the GPT-4 language model, we conducted a descriptive analysis of standardized sentiment values and calculated cumulative binned values of the sentiment trajectories over the text. We then created differential equation models to model the sentiment tones using quantile regression analysis. We show that binned values can reveal a more dynamic and potentially chaotic structure when applied to the cumulative sum of sentiments for word, sentence, and paragraph levels. We model differential equations derived for word, sentence, and paragraph levels via quantile regression. They demonstrate how the rate and acceleration of sentiment change are influenced by their current state and rate of change. In conclusion, this study’s findings are important for enhancing the capabilities of AI-driven chatbots in sentiment analysis, particularly in dissecting and understanding the layered emotional landscapes of literary works.

RESUMEN Aunque las capacidades dinámicas pueden ser desarrolladas en periodos de calma, se convierten en factores más importantes en épocas de crisis. La utilidad de las capacidades dinámicas se extiende a los entornos cambiantes e inciertos, y, por lo tanto, en tiempos turbulentos aumenta enormemente su valor. Diferentes estudios realizados muestran que al evaluar empresas que generan o desarrollan capacidades dinámicas ya existentes en su contexto habitual, estas tienen un impacto positivo en el desempeño empresarial en industrias mecánicas en las que las coyunturas comerciales han disminuido por unas fuertes crisis. Es objetivo de este artículo diseñar un Modelo Teórico de la Gestión del Capital Intelectual para el desarrollo de las capacidades dinámicas. Para esto se utilizaron métodos científicos de la investigación y como resultados se tiene las principales variables y dimensiones que influyen en el capital intelectual, se tiene la relación de variables con las capacidades dinámicas que permite integrarlos para la mejora del desempeño empresarial.

ABSTRACT Although dynamic capabilities can be developed in calm periods, they become more important factors in times of crisis. The usefulness of dynamic capabilities extends to changing and uncertain environments, and therefore in turbulent times their value greatly increases. Different studies carried out show that when evaluating companies that generate or develop already existing dynamic capacities in their usual context, these have a positive impact on business performance in mechanical industries in which commercial situations have diminished due to severe crises. The objective of this article is to design a Theoretical Model of Intellectual Capital Management for the development of dynamic capacities. For this, scientific research methods were used and as results there are the main variables and dimensions that influence intellectual capital, there is the relationship of variables with the dynamic capacities that allow them to be integrated for the improvement of business performance.

ABSTRACT This article seeks to deepen the understanding of sustained competitive advantages built through strategies of R&D investments, and patents and trademarks registrations by Big Pharma, within the framework of the three main activity clusters related to dynamic capabilities: sensing, seizing, and transforming. The use of this framework contributes to the comprehension of the strategies of R&D, patents, and trademarks by Big Pharma in creating sustained competitive advantages and in the endurance and stability of these companies as industry leaders. The identification of R&D opportunities emerging from the public sector, the ability to leverage identified opportunities through organizational competencies and consistent strategies for resource transformation – such as evergreening –, and brand building have been recognized as significant components of the dynamic capabilities of the firms that enable the creation and maintenance of sustained competitive advantages.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to map out how the field of dynamic capabilities has developed since the seminal studies by Teece et al. (1997) and Eisenhardt and Martin (2000). We identified 10,838 papers and used the Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm for topic modeling. We conducted two analyses: the first was based on the temporality and characteristics of the studies; the second was interpretative and based on the network of theoretical concepts. Results indicate an approximation between the ideas of the two seminal studies, which were initially viewed as opposite. We observe a movement to value relational issues, following a collective construction path, and paying less attention to the firm itself. Overall, we were able to understand the consolidation of the dynamic capabilities field; understand the core elements involved in the development of dynamic capabilities; set out the original and current concepts of dynamic capabilities; and indicate tendencies and a possible future research agenda. al 1997 (1997 2000. 2000 .

Abstract Paper aims This study is grounded in the supply chain resilience (SCRES) capabilities literature and the dynamic capabilities theory (DCT), which is used to develop a framework of dynamic SCRES capabilities for global supply chain disruptions. Originality This study explores firms' adapting, responding, and learning capabilities in the initial outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19) in the Irish context. Research method The research methodology was based on semi-structured interviews with supply chain leaders of international operations, extending between Ireland and the UK. Data analysis utilises a hybrid thematic analysis approach that integrates inductive codes with deductive priori-driven constructs. Main findings Five significant impacts of COVID-19 on supply chain operations are revealed: capacity and resource constraints, supply issues, demand spikes, supply chain skills shortages, and human resource factors. Furthermore, firms' high-order SCRES capabilities during a pandemic are related to their adaptation, response, and learning capabilities. Operational capabilities and resilience practices support these high-order capabilities. However, the empirical evidence indicates that resilience practices overlap across SCRES capabilities. Implications for theory and practice The connection between SCRES and dynamic capabilities is emphasized by demonstrating that operational capabilities and resilience practices are integral building blocks of high-order SCRES capabilities. We distinguish between dynamic and operational capabilities and present an integrative framework to elaborate the theory of dynamic SCRES capabilities. Moreover, valuable insights into developing dynamic SCRES capabilities are highlighted by adapting to changes, seizing opportunities, coordinating tasks, and engaging in learning routines in response to a pandemic disruption. Firms that harness SCRES elements and practices to enhance their adaptability, response, and learning capabilities share similarities with the dynamic capabilities processes of adapting & seizing, coordinating, and learning.

Abstract: This paper examines how digitalization of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is influenced by their ability to adapt in a turbulent environment. Our goal is to understand the role of dynamic capabilities, specifically sensing and seizing opportunities, in the digital maturity of firms. We employ a structural equation model to analyze the effect of these capabilities on MSMEs’ digitalization, taking advantage of a novel data set from the self-assessment tool Chequeo Digital in Ecuador. Our focus on dynamic capabilities in the MSMEs context, represents a significant contribution, enhancing our understanding of the determinants of digitalization. The results show a positive and substantial effect of both capabilities on the digital advance of MSMEs. Moreover, we found a negative and significant moderating effect of firm age, on the relationship between sensing capability and digitalization, suggesting that older firms may face in adopting digital technologies when compared to their younger counterparts.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities in innovation performance, operationalized by organizational innovation measures, in organic food production units. The research was carried out using a seven-point Likert questionnaire that measures the relationship between dynamic knowledge-based capabilities (Zheng et al., 2011) and organizational innovation (Camisón & Villar-López, 2010) in a sample of 154 organic food production units collected at ecological fairs in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. For data analysis, structural equation modeling was used. The results indicated that knowledge acquisition, generation and combination skills are important positive determinants for organizational innovation. The approach is groundbreaking in the literature as it addresses and broadens knowledge about the process of building knowledge resources and organizational innovation and adds an analysis model for studies in the interdisciplinary field of dynamic capabilities based on resource knowledge and organizational innovations. It contributes to the theory by reporting on empirical quantitative data through a measurement scale adapted and validated based on the proposal of Zheng et al.
