ABSTRACT

Dynamic capabilities emerged as a central perspective for making more explicit how companies create value in the knowledge economy. This concept does indeed help in solving the causal ambiguity weakness of the resource-based view. In this chapter, I consider this concept further by articulating it to the concept of community, as it has been defi ned and implemented in the two previous chapters. Section 1 will consider the issue from the strategic literature perspective. Section 2 will go further by considering the dynamic capability issue from the national perspective (using the case of Finland). Section 3 will briefl y address the issue of dynamic capabilities and communities from the intelligent enterprise perspective. Finally, Section 4 will conclude by putting forward how dynamic capabilities might be related to the issue of organisational design.
