Abstract

Sources of innovation and a sustainable competitive advantage for market leading firms in a dynamic environment are major concerns for both firm managers and academic researchers. For this reason, the dynamic capability view (DCV), evolved from the resource-based view (RBV) is gaining popularity as a cornerstone for success of firms in a dynamic market. DCV proposes a number of new concepts and elements, but these are still under development. This study suggests a comprehensive constitution of dynamic capabilities by performing a systematic literature review of 59 conceptual research papers from 238 bodies of literature. For the integrative conceptual framework, the elements of the dynamic capabilities are segmented into organizational learning and strategic choices with sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring stages. In addition, our conceptual framework lays a foundation for further empirical studies, with investigating sources of competitive advantage of market leading firms.

빠른 기술 변화와 시장 불확실성으로 대표되는 동적 환경 하에서 시장 선도 기업들이 지속적인 경쟁 우위와 혁신에 성공하기 위한 요인은 산업계와 학계 공동의 중요한 관심사이다. 자원기반이론에서 발전한 동태적 역량관점이 이러한 경쟁 우위에 대한 설명으로 주목받고 있지만, 개념적 합의와 세부 구성요소들에 대한 체계화된 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 동태적 역량에 대한 포괄적인 개념 모델을 도출하기 위해, 체계적 문헌 분석을 실시했으며, 키워드 기반의 문헌 탐색을 통해 238개 관련 문헌을 수집하고, 본 연구의 목적에 적합한 59개의 문헌을 최종 선택해서 동태적 역량의 핵심 요소들을 분석했다. 각 문헌으로부터 도출된 동태적 역량의 세부 항목들은 sensing, seizing, reconfiguring 단계에서의 조직 학습 역량과 전략적 선택 역량으로 분류할 수 있었다. 또한, 탐색적 연구에서 도출한 개념 연구 프레임워크를 바탕으로 선도 기업들의 경쟁 우위 원천을 분석함으로써, 향후 실증 분석을 위한 토대를 마련할 수 있었다.
