Abstract

This article presents a proposal for the operationalization of the concept of dynamic capabilities. It created a model of analysis based on the literature review. The study was carried out through the analyses of multiple cases, which retrieves historical data. Also, it was triggered by a strategic decision focused on innovation. The reconfigurations that were necessary for the ordinary capabilities of the studied companies were observed. Then, their new configuration was shown, considering the movements necessary to implement the strategic plan that led them to innovate. The study contributes to the literature by presenting the operation of dynamic capabilities. Moreover, there is the possibility of applying the expertise about ordinary and dynamic capabilities in the strategic decisions of companies as a managerial contribution.
