“…A capability is what an individual, organization or other type of collective arrangement can actually do, which is expressed as learned patterns of repetitive behaviour, that is, routines (Jacobides & Winter, 2012;Nelson & Winter 1982;Pentland & Feldman, 2005;Winter, 2003). We assume that governance itself can be regarded as a type of capability; it is the capability to progressively design and implement mechanisms to control and coordinate joint production (Argyres, Felin, Foss, & Zenger, 2012). We define collective governance capability as the capability of a collective arrangement to steer a production process and an associated interaction system.…”
