Abstract
Purpose: This article aims to characterize factors of dynamic capabilities and analyze the relationship between them. The case study is particularized for the tourism sector. Design/methodology: This study has a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire applied to a sample of 136 tourism companies on the Colombian Caribbean Coast, specifically in Cartagena de Indias. For the explanation and interpretation of the information collected, multivariate factorial analysis and the Chi-square association test were used. Findings: This research reveals the association and identification of the dynamic capabilities of innovation, adaptation and absorption with the positive behavior of companies in the tourism sector of the Colombian Caribbean (Cartagena de Indias), thus becoming sources for the optimization of strategic actions that make it possible to take advantage of opportunities and mitigate threats from the dynamic environment. In addition, if these capabilities are combined with each other, they become platforms for the development of new competitive advantages, giving rise to a new dynamic capability: the systemic one. Research limitations/implications: The study only covers companies in a specific sector and geographic location. Future studies should extend the analysis too their industries and territories. Practical implications: From a management perspective, it is suggested that those responsible for making decisions in tourism companies articulately implement dynamic capabilities for the development of competitive advantages and the use of their resources. Originality/value: One the main of the research is the identification of the systemic academic literature the dynamic capabilities.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
