It seeks to analyze the potential interaction between them that would lead to the creation of superior customer value.Design/methodology/approachThe research question is: “If the customer demands superior value, how should a firm combine its existing capabilities in order to offer this superior value?”FindingsIt is clear that one should turn to dynamic capabilities to explain the connection between the interaction of these three capabilities and superior customer value.
