The dynamic capabilities framework implementation in innovation and creative ecosystems

Abstract

The arising concern for the inter-industry collaborations was concretised through the continuous development of new collaborative structures as it is the case of business ecosystems emergence. The use of open innovation in existing ecosystems became an essential trigger for the emergence, defining and development of dynamic capabilities. Consequently, these capabilities were used as the most relevant resources in value networks evolution as they defined and created new ways for opportunities exploration and exploitation especially within existing ecosystems. From this point of view the current research seeks to identify and define what are dynamic capabilities, to present the existing framework of capabilities analysis and to understand how it is used in practice within existing ecosystems. Also, this research seeks to uncover how collaborative efforts and the use of innovative technologies influence organisational growth.
