The Organizational Drivetrain: A Road To Integration of Dynamic Capabilities Research
指出动态能力研究因概念发展路径特殊而导致理解分裂，提出“组织传动系统”隐喻模型，解释惯例与简单规则如何互动，以整合不同定义，推动领域统一发展。
Although the research domain of dynamic capabilities has become one of the most active in strategic management, critics have charged that it is plagued by confusion around the construct itself. In this paper, we uncover a potential reason for this confusion embedded in the unique nature of the construct's development path—a peculiarity that has led to split understandings of what constitutes a dynamic capability. We suggest a solution to this problem in the form of an illustrative metaphor—what we call the “organizational drivetrain.” Our drivetrain represents a theoretical model aimed at combining different views of the definition of dynamic capabilities by explaining how routines and simple rules interact. This shows that it is possible to advance the development of the framework by combining divergent understandings into a coherent whole. We conclude by offering specific recommendations for how to achieve a greater unity of understanding and move the field even further forward.
