Abstract

The literature on dynamic managerial capabilities (DMCs) has grown considerably and has evolved over the past two decades. Helfat and Martin (2015) reviewed this literature, which helped clarify the nomological network surrounding DMCs while synthesizing the empirical literature related to its impact on strategic change and firm performance. In this paper, we build on their work by applying bibliometric techniques to trace the evolution of this multidisciplinary construct. The analysis of 33 key journals and 188 articles spanning more than three decades (1989–2023) comprises distinct time periods and longitudinal trends that support meaningful visual representations of the bibliographic data. The findings reveal seven foundational themes for DMC research: upper echelons, cognitive biases, cognitive strategic groups, capability configurations, issue interpretation, individual & group characteristics, and market & network orientation. We also extend the DMC framework of Helfat & Martin (2015) by including political capital as the fourth underpinning. On the basis of the temporal and topic trend analysis, we conclude with recommendations for further research avenues that can shed light on the future of DMC literature. We also highlight practical implications for practicing managers and firms to strengthen competitive differentiation by building and leveraging DMCs.

动态管理能力：重要综述与未来方向

过去二十年来，关于动态管理能力（DMCs）的文献有了很大的增长和发展。Helfat 和 Martin（2015 年）对这些文献进行了综述，有助于厘清围绕 DMCs 的名学网络，同时综合了与 DMCs 对战略变革和企业绩效的影响相关的实证文献。在本文中，我们以他们的工作为基础，运用文献计量学技术追踪这一多学科概念的演变。我们对 33 种主要期刊和 188 篇文章进行了分析，时间跨度超过三十年（1989-2023 年），其中包括不同的时间段和纵向趋势，支持对书目数据进行有意义的可视化表述。研究结果揭示了 DMC 研究的七个基本主题：上层、认知偏差、认知战略团体、能力配置、问题解释、个人& 团体特征以及市场& 网络导向。我们还扩展了 Helfat & Martin（2015）的 DMC 框架，将政治资本作为第四个支撑点。在时间和主题趋势分析的基础上，我们最后提出了进一步研究途径的建议，以揭示 DMC 文献的未来。我们还强调了实践管理者和企业通过建立和利用 DMC 来加强差异化竞争的实际意义。
