The dynamic capability framework has been the subject of great concern in the strategy, management and economy ields of work on account of the bearing it has to help understand the way how companies are facing changes in the setting where they work: A core issue within the context of open markets and global economies. Nonetheless, strong controversy has been sprouting up around these subjects, a controversy which should be identiied and solved so as to allow for this framework to be further expanded on as a consolidated theoretical body of thought. A survey is being made in this paper of the main areas of debate, and promissory research lines are being put forwards on the basis of a set of relevant papers being published since 1997, and being selected according with the number of times these papers have been included as footnotes quotes.

Some of the dynamic capabilities on the basis of which a Colombian company could be eligible to become a Born Global company are taken into consideration in this paper, among which mention could be made of the bearing strategic alliances are having, how the market is being positioned, and organizational learning. On the basis of data collected through a survey being conducted of 297 manufacturing companies in the country in 2011, these dynamic capabilities have been sorted out by means of an artiicial neural networks model. According to indings, those companies which are undergoing a swift internationalization process are mainly told apart because they are supported on learning, socialization and an in-depth awareness of the market they are working with, allowing them to design competitive advantages. These indings are stretching out the Born Global company research to the business strategy field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The theoretical transition being apparent in the analysis of internal competitive advantage sources is being dealt with in this paper. A theoretical approach is being applied which is focused on those processes allowing companies to upkeep and enhance their competitiveness, become adapted to changes, and become able to foresee changes in the market. This survey shows the eclectic nature of dynamic capacities bringing in dynamic elements into static-nature theories, and further addresses the biases being apparent in these two approaches both in the theoretical setting and in the managerial practice. This survey also looks into the generation, development and change processes pertaining with operational resources Dynamic capabilities help generate higher income and maximise innovation and strategic development.

The relationship being apparent between dynamic capabilities and knowledge management is being looked into in this paper on the basis of their application to new technology-based companies (NTBC), and bearing in mind issues such as high complexity and fast knowledge generation taking place in a dynamic and uncertain setting. This research has been conducted at the NTBC, located at the Madrid Scientiic Park (MSP) and at the Leganés Technological and Scientiic Park, both of them located in the Madrid Community area in Spain. According to test results, the exploration and exploitation processes, together with organizational ambidexterity, are having a rather meaningful impact on the NTBC's own dynamic capabilities to effectively manage knowledge, both currently available and being generated, allowing these companies to properly adapting themselves to the setting in which they are operating and thus, ensuring that enhanced returns are obtained.

Drawing upon research indings of some authors, this paper is putting forwards a novel deinition of organizational capabilities pinpointing the nature, features and potential of this notion. This deinition suggests an alternative solution to the dificulty to establish a typology of organizational capabilities. The two components making up such a deinition are exempliied on the basis of a case analysis, i.e., the dialogic nature engrained in the governance capacity, and the dual dimension characterizing the way how such organization capabilities are being put into practice. Thus, such a deinition provides for an explicit and coherent conceptual basis for further research endeavours to be undertaken vis-à-vis organizational capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
