Abstract

This work investigates the antecedents and consequences of dynamic capabilities using data from Portuguese and Brazilian firms. Specifically the influence of entrepreneurship as an opportunity sensing base, the effect on human resources (HR) capability to reach those opportunities, and finally knowledge management (KM) consequences on firm performance. Using a two-country questionnaire, four organisational capabilities are examined, and the link to value creation is established: entrepreneurship capabilities, knowledge management, human resources management capabilities and strategic decision flexibility. The main objective of this research is the operationalisation of a stream of thought on dynamic capabilities. To analyse our model, we have chosen to apply a path analytic technique. This multivariate analysis methodology is regularly used for empirically examining sets of relationships represented in the form of linear causal models, and allows the direct, indirect and total effects. We present the operationalisation of an aggregate construct in this field thus contributing to develop empirical research of dynamic capabilities. Measures were adapted to reflect dynamic decision making. The results show that dynamic capabilities are a complex set of capacities conjugated in sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring processes. Managerial implications for these two countries are discussed.

企业家精神对动态能力的基础作用

本研究使用来自葡萄牙和巴西公司的数据调查了动态能力的前因后果。具体来说，企业家精神作为机会感知基础的影响，对人力资源(HR)获得这些机会的能力的影响，以及知识管理(KM)对企业绩效的影响。使用两国问卷，四个组织能力进行了检查，并建立了价值创造的联系:创业能力，知识管理，人力资源管理能力和战略决策灵活性。本研究的主要目标是动态能力思想流的操作化。为了分析我们的模型，我们选择应用路径分析技术。这种多变量分析方法经常用于实证检验以线性因果模型形式表示的关系集，并允许直接，间接和总影响。我们提出了在这一领域的总体结构的操作化，从而有助于发展动态能力的实证研究。调整措施以反映动态决策。结果表明，动态能力是感知、捕获和重新配置过程中能力的复杂集合。讨论了对这两个国家的管理影响。

期刊介绍： The journal name relates to Harvard Business School''s understanding of "The Entrepreneurial Venture" (Sahlmann/Stevenson/Roberts/Bhidé), the concept of entrepreneurship not only limited to new ventures/start-ups, but further understood as the concentration of opportunity/growth/value creation regardless of company size, age or kind. Hence, IJEV addresses organisational processes surrounding these concepts: from an idea to an innovation. To bridge the gap between innovation and entrepreneurship research, IJEV emphasises implications of this new knowledge for researchers, managers, public policy makers and business educators. Topics covered include: -Opportunity: identification; recognition; creation; selection; exploitation -Growth: management of rapidly growing enterprises; control -Value creation: for owners; for customers; other stakeholders; society -Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship -New venture creation -Management of technology and innovation -New product development and creativity -SME management -Entrepreneurial and small enterprise finance -Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding -Family business -Gender and diversity -Global entrepreneurship and internationalisation -Public policy, the economy, and the small enterprise -Business and organisational failure
