Delineating interorganizational dynamic capabilities: A literature review and a conceptual framework

Abstract

Extant literature on dynamic capabilities hints at the possibility of a wider scope than merely the firm, beyond the individual firm boundary, and thus the existence of interorganizational dynamic capabilities (IDCs). Although IDCs have been acknowledged as a source for sustainable competitive advantage, research on these capabilities remains fragmented and unstructured. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to develop a conceptualization of interorganizational dynamic capabilities. Based on a systematic literature review, a framework with four types of IDCs distinguished by their different locus of control and beneficiary is presented. For each type, the overarching capability themes of orchestration of network resources and governing of network members are described. The article provides a classification of IDCs that avoids comparing "apples and oranges." It also elaborates on dynamic capabilities that exist beyond the control of a single firm, and their relationship to other firm-based types of IDCs.

Understanding the impact of Green supply chain management practices on operational competitive capabilities

“…In fact, the firms which are engaged in GSCPs have achieved economic and financial performances like reduction in cost and improvement in profitability, sales, and productivity. With the help of the findings, this study disproves the traditional assumptions made by some economists and business leaders that adoption of GSCPs that involves green purchasing would increase the cost of manufacturing, and due to which competitiveness and profit would also reduce (Yook et al, 2018;Chouinard et al, 2011;Sandberg et al, 2019). In contrast, the findings of this research attempt to prove that involvement in green supply chain practices is likely to transform both operational and market performances into superiors by reducing extra waste, designing ecolabeling products, recycling material, preventive measures to control pollution, reduction in extra water and electricity usages.…”

Traders as ecosystem orchestrators for sustainable foods supply chain transformation

“…Cultivating an individual firm's dynamic capability is not enough for system transformation. Cultivating inter‐organizational capabilities, including the orchestration of network resources and governing network members, is an essential factor of EO (Sandberg et al, 2021). Resource orchestration is another vital topic in Cluster 3, as in Cluster 2.…”

The Dynamics of Innovation on Firm Performance: Empirical Analysis of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Firms in Sindh Pakistan

“…Internal or external searches for managers are both possible, however external searches are typically more difficult than internal ones (Brunswicker & Chesbrough, 2018). According to Sandberg, Kindström, and Haag (2021), innovation is a dynamic capacity that enables an organization to combine, develop, and reconfigure internal and external competencies in order to respond to quickly changing circumstances. According to Kusiak (2009) definition, innovation is a process that aims to produce new goods or services via the application of information that is either new or already known.…”
