Dynamic Capabilities and Organizational Agility: Risk, Uncertainty, and Strategy in the Innovation Economy
指出组织敏捷性并非恒定不变，而是需要根据深度不确定性进行校准，并探讨动态能力如何帮助企业以低成本实现必要的敏捷性，从而应对创新经济中的竞争。
“Organizational agility” is often treated as an immutable quality, implying that firms need to be in a constant state of transformation. However, this ignores that such transformations, while often essential, come at a cost. They are not always necessary, and may not even be possible. This article explores agility at a more fundamental level and relates it more specifically to dynamic capabilities. It demonstrates that it is first essential to understand deep uncertainty, which is ubiquitous in the innovation economy. Uncertainty is very different from risk, which can be managed using traditional tools and approaches. Strong dynamic capabilities are necessary for fostering the organizational agility necessary to address deep uncertainty, such as that generated by innovation and the associated dynamic competition. This article explores the mechanisms by which managers may calibrate the required level of organizational agility, deliver it cost effectively, and relate it to strategy.
