Abstract

The innovation process and the generation of sustainable competitive advantage are permanently on the agenda in technology management. According to Teece (2007), one way to achieve a competitive advantage is to develop dynamic capabilities, a process in which the author identifies three moments: i) to perceive and shape opportunities and threats (sensing), ii) to grasp the opportunities (seizing), iii) to increase, to combine, to secure and, when necessary, to reconfigure the tangible and intangible assets. The aim of this paper is to investigate how the strategic internal changes were introduced to influence on developing the innovation capability in order to sustain and expand the competitive advantages of the firm. To do so, a case study was carried out in a firm that work within the furniture sector more than 30 years and took decision to increase its competitive advantage by investing in product design, what created conditions for the development of new capabilities. Interviews were conducted using questions that allowed the respondents to freely express their experiences and perceptions about the changes that have occurred in their sectors as a result of this process and was possible to identify the intensity of reconfigurations in capabilities that resulted from the creation of the Design Center.

重组企业资产进行创新

创新过程和可持续竞争优势的产生一直是技术管理的议程。Teece（2007）认为，实现竞争优势的一种方法是发展动态能力，在这个过程中，作者确定了三个时刻：i）感知和塑造机会和威胁（感知），ii）抓住机会（抓住），iii）增加、组合、确保有形和无形资产，并在必要时重新配置。本文的目的是研究如何引入战略内部变化来影响创新能力的发展，以维持和扩大企业的竞争优势。为此，对一家在家具行业工作了30多年的公司进行了案例研究，该公司决定通过投资产品设计来提高竞争优势，这为开发新能力创造了条件。访谈使用的问题使受访者能够自由表达他们对该过程中所属行业发生的变化的经验和看法，并有可能确定设计中心创建后能力重组的强度。
