本文研究了组织发展动态能力的机制,动态能力是指组织发展和适应日常运作的活动。它解决的作用(1)经验积累,(2)知识衔接,(3)知识编纂过程中的动态演变,以及操作,例程。的论点是,动态能力是由这些学习机制的共同进化。在任何时候,企业都采取一种混合的学习行为,这种学习行为由半自动的经验积累和对知识表达和编纂活动的有意投资构成。这些能力建设机制的相对有效性进行分析,在这里视乎选定的功能的任务来学习,如其频率,同质性和程度的因果关系模糊。关于这些影响的可检验的假设推导。有些违反直觉的影响的分析包括相对上级有效性的高度刻意的学习过程,如知识编纂在较低水平的频率和同质性的组织任务,在一般的管理实践。
This paper investigates the mechanisms through which organizations develop dynamic capabilities, defined as routinized activities directed to the development and adaptation of operating routines. It addresses the role of (1) experience accumulation, (2) knowledge articulation, and (3) knowledge codification processes in the evolution of dynamic, as well as operational, routines. The argument is made that dynamic capabilities are shaped by the coevolution of these learning mechanisms. At any point in time, firms adopt a mix of learning behaviors constituted by a semiautomatic accumulation of experience and by deliberate investments in knowledge articuation and codification activities. The relative effectiveness of these capability-building mechanisms is analyzed here as contingent upon selected features of the task to be learned, such as its frequency, homogeneity, and degree of causal ambiguity. Testable hypotheses about these effects are derived. Somewhat counterintuitive implications of the analysis include the relatively superior effectiveness of highly deliberate learning processes such as knowledge codification at lower levels of frequency and homogeneity of the organizational task, in contrast with common managerial practice.
