Trying to become a different type of company: dynamic capability at Smith Corona
研究了史密斯·科罗纳公司如何在打字机市场消失时，通过调整资源（利用、创造、获取、释放）来尝试转型，对动态能力理论有贡献。
Abstract Smith Corona, formerly one of the world's leading manufacturers of typewriters, was challenged to exercise dynamic capability in the face of the dissipation of its main product category. A study of the last two decades of the life of the company shows how Smith Corona tried to alter its resource base by leveraging existing resources, creating new resources, accessing external resources, and releasing resources. Using the extended case method, this study advances dynamic capability theory by confronting it with an empirical case. The Smith Corona case provides rich insights into the resource alteration processes by which dynamic capability operates, and highlights resource cognition as a missing element in dynamic capability theory.
