Strategic organization, dynamic capabilities, and the external environment
提出外部导向动态能力的概念，解释这类能力如何直接影响外部环境，并帮助企业调整资源基础以适应和塑造环境，对战略管理研究者有参考价值。
A large stream of theoretical and empirical research has developed on the topic of dynamic capabilities. However, research on the mechanisms through which dynamic capabilities affect outcomes for firms has often focused on alterations to firms’ resource bases (their resources and capabilities), with less attention to the effects of dynamic capabilities on the external environment. I introduce the concept of external-facing dynamic capabilities and explain how these capabilities may have direct effects on the external environment, in addition to helping firms alter their resource bases. These effects in turn can help firms adapt to and even shape their external environments.
