How dynamic capabilities facilitate the survivability of social enterprises: A qualitative analysis of sensing and seizing capacities
通过对18家德国社会企业的分析,识别出三种动态能力(被动沟通、选择性信号、整合合作者)帮助企业在张力中生存,对管理者和研究者有参考价值。
The purpose of this study is to identify how dynamic capabilities facilitate the survivability of social enterprises amid the tensions that these companies typically face. We employ an abductive analysis of 18 social enterprises in Germany and propose three capabilities: (1) establishing passive communication with the stakeholders enables inexpensive and direct sensing and shaping of opportunities; (2) selective signaling helps access critical resources and capitalize on the business model to seize opportunities, whereas (3) integrating collaborators expands the company’s reach and strengthens strategic decision-making. Finally, key implications are drawn for dynamic capabilities in social enterprises.
