The aim of this paper is to extend the concept of dynamic capabilities. Building
on prior research, we suggest that there are three levels of dynamic
capabilities which are related to managers‟ perceptions of environmental
dynamism. At the first level we find incremental dynamic capabilities: those
capabilities concerned with the continuous improvement of the firm‟s resource
base. At the second level are renewing dynamic capabilities, those that refresh,
adapt and augment the resource base. These two levels are usually conceived as
one and represent what the literature refers to as dynamic capabilities. At the
third level are regenerative dynamic capabilities, which impact, not on the
firm‟s resource base, but on its current set of dynamic capabilities i.e. these
change the way the firm changes its resource base. We explore the three levels
using illustrative examples and conclude that regenerative dynamic capabilities
may either come from inside the firm or enter the firm from outside, via changes
in leadership or the intervention of external change a |
