The study also seeks to improve our understanding if, and in what ways, the generational diversity in firm's management is an important resource. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: In spite of the relevance of this matter, few scholars have explored the relationship between absorptive capacity (Acap) and family firms. On the other hand, the economic importance of these firms is reported, for example, in Leone (2005) and Machado, Grzybovski, Teixeira and Silva (2013), authors reporting that approximately 90% of Brazilian firms are controlled by families, being the fastest-growing business segment. Key methodological aspects: The sample consists of 241 family firms. The SmartPLS software is used for structural equation modeling. Summary of key results:The results show that Acap is an important predictor for the innovation performance of family firms. Contrary to expectation, the involvement of several generations in the management of the family firms is not a significant moderator between ACAP and innovation performance. Key considerations/conclusions: This study fills an important gap in the research on family firms, once, by taking into consideration the generational diversity in the management of these firms, its results deepen our understanding of the essential features of a family business, and analyze the innovation in an intergenerational perspective.

Objective: this study aims to build and validate a measurement scale of the component elements and the organizational mechanisms for the development of dynamic capabilities (DC) in organizations.Method: the research methodology was based on a quantitative and descriptive approach, with bibliographic data collection and through an e-survey in 137 organizations in southern Brazil. The scale validation was performed by structural equation modeling (SEM) with the SmartPLS 3.2.8 software.Results: the final scale proposed for measuring the component elements and the organizational mechanisms for CD development had three dimensions and twenty indicators. The findings demonstrate that the articulation of the indicators of the component elements and the mechanisms for the development of dynamic capacities results in a scale that weighs several aspects related to the existence of DC development in organizations.Originality/Relevance: although there are efforts in the development of scales on DC, there is a theoretical gap regarding the creation of scales and measurement instruments, since these capacities are linked to the internal processes of organizations. In view of this, this study proves to be relevant in addressing the proposition and validation of a scale based on the development of DC that allows new empirical investigations and theoretical discussions.Theoretical / methodological contributions: this research provides an academic resource for the use of the scale proposed in future research and expands the possibility of developing the theme of dynamic capabilities in organizational studies.

O objetivo deste estudo é debater a evolução da produção científica brasileira sobre a temática das Capacidades Dinâmicas por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura na base Scientific Periodicals Eletronic Library – SPELL (2003-2019). Primeiramente, destaca-se as origens conceituais, divergências e convergências teóricas. Em seguimento, analisa-se a evolução da produção teórica científica. Por fim, efetua-se uma análise das temáticas e sugestões de estudos futuros dos artigos. Conclui-se que houve um crescente avanço teórico nas duas últimas décadas e que pode avançar nos próximos anos. Destaca-se as contribuições da agenda de pesquisa e compreensão de como os estudos sobre a temática vem sendo desenvolvidos no âmbito nacional brasileiro.
