Dynamic Capabilities 
Understanding Strategic Change in Organizations

Creating, adapting to, and exploiting change is inherently
entrepreneurial. To survive and prosper under conditions of change,
firms must develop the ‘dynamic capabilities’ to
create, extend, and modify the ways in which they operate. The
capacity of an organization to create, extend, or modify its
resource base is vital.

Since the concept of dynamic capabilities was first introduced,
much research has elaborated the initial idea. This important book
by Constance Helfat and her team of leading scholars provides a
timely focus on in-depth examples of corporate dynamic
capabilities. Examining these in the different contexts of
alliances, acquisitions, and management, the book gives students
and researchers a succinct, up-to-date definition of dynamic
capabilities and the strategic management theories around them.
