最近对战略管理研究状况的评论指出，过度关注理论发展和这些理论的实证检验不足（Bettis，2012;米勒和Tsang，2010;奥克斯利等人，2010年）。这种批评尤其适用于组织能力的研究，其中对结构和关系的实证验证远远落后于概念和理论的发展（Arend和Bromiley，2009; Leiblein，2011; Newbert，2007）。尽管在使用统计测试以确保某些方面的有效性方面，方法日益复杂，但在确定和衡量组织能力方面的可靠性和有效性的根本障碍仍然没有得到认识和解决。在这篇文章中，我们使用的实证文献调查组织能力，以确定阻碍实证研究的主要问题，并为每个问题，我们提供建议，无论是解决问题或改善其负面影响。对能力的实证研究分为两大类，每一类都有各自的问题。在定量研究（横截面和小组抽样）中，问题主要涉及测量;在定性案例研究中，问题主要涉及识别。附录描述了我们识别和编码关于组织能力的已发表文章的方法。
Recent commentary on state of research in strategic management points to excessive attention to theory development and deficiencies in the empirical testing of these theories (Bettis, 2012; Miller and Tsang, 2010; Oxley et al., 2010). This criticism is especially pertinent to research into organizational capabilities, where empirical verification of constructs and relationships has lagged far behind conceptual and theoretical developments (Arend and Bromiley, 2009; Leiblein, 2011; Newbert, 2007). Despite a growing methodological sophistication in using statistical tests to ensure some dimensions of validity, fundamental impediments to reliability and validity in identifying and measuring organizational capabilities remain unrecognized and unresolved. In this article, we use a survey of the empirical literature on organizational capability to identify the principal problems that have impeded empirical research, and, for each problem, we offer recommendations for either resolving the problem or ameliorating its negative impact. Separate problems arise in each of the two main categories of empirical research into capabilities. In quantitative studies (both cross-sectional and panel sampling), the problems relate mainly to measurement; in qualitative, case study research, the problems relate mainly to identification. The Appendix describes our methodology in identifying and coding published articles on organizational capabilities.
