Dynamic capabilities refer to an organization’s ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competencies to address a rapidly developing environment. In his highly influential 2014 JIBS paper, David Teece provides a holistic explanation of how firms can: achieve sustained competitive advantage, adjust and preserve superior performance, and adapt to changing environments. The article, along with Teece’s related contributions, is remarkable in that it has led us to rethink and reframe our conventional understanding of markets, strategy, competitive advantage, and the firm. In this commentary, we reflect on the transformative contributions of the article. We argue that the dynamic capabilities framework provides a foundation for theorizing and developing a coherent logic that guides theory development.

动态能力是指组织整合、构建和重新配置内部和外部能力以应对快速发展的环境的能力。在他极具影响力的 2014 年 JIBS 论文中，David Teece 全面解释了公司如何：获得持续的竞争优势，调整和保持卓越的绩效，以及适应不断变化的环境。这篇文章以及 Teece 的相关贡献非常引人注目，因为它引导我们重新思考和重新构建我们对市场、战略、竞争优势和公司的传统理解。在这篇评论中，我们反思了这篇文章的变革性贡献。我们认为，动态能力框架为理论化和发展指导理论发展的连贯逻辑提供了基础。
