Unlocking dynamic capabilities in the Scotch whisky industry, 1945–present
研究1945年以来苏格兰威士忌行业的发展，分析外部进入者如何通过非常规举措解锁企业层面的动态能力，进而推动行业变革，对商业史和战略研究有参考价值。
In this article we examine the development of the Scotch whisky industry since 1945 through the lens of dynamic capabilities. We explain how sui generis acts-novel initiatives outwith the established repertoire of practices of a firm or industry-by external actors joining the industry helped unlock dynamic capabilities at the firm level in the industry which in turn drove change across the sector after a series of takeovers. We detail the key structural changes in the Scotch whisky industry and demonstrate how important external actors can be in effecting sector level change by extending and connecting our analysis to existing debates in business history and strategy research.
