What is it about?
Since Teece, Pisano and Shuen’s (1997) original proposal, several theorists have made efforts at developing the dynamic capabilities concept. However, analysis of these efforts shows that there is a myriad of definitions, some quite similar, and there is definite controversy about the conditioning elements and components of dynamic capabilities. This article proposes an integrative model of the various definitions given by the authors surveyed

Why is it important?
The evolution of understanding of what is dynamic capability is associated with two main aspects: components and mechanisms by which a company develops dynamic capabilities. This article proposes an integrative model in which the determinants of the existence of dynamic capabilities include the set of behaviors, skills, routines, processes and governance mechanisms of learning and knowledge focused on change and innovation. These elements are developed along an organizational trajectory, through acumulative process of knowledge and learning.
Perspectives
The construct of dynamic capability proposed in this paper is based on three dimensions: (a) behaviors and skills; (b) routines and processes; (c) learning and governance mechanisms of knowledge. The articulation of these elements and mechanisms of support of the dynamic capacities results in a theoretical model in which several aspects related to the existence of dynamic capacities, such as innovation, generation of new ideas and dynamism of the environment may or may not be present. These are only evidence of dynamic capabilities. As a suggestion of future research, it is proposed to operationalize each of these components and the development of a scale of dynamic capacities
