IN THE INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE, HOW THE MANAGER'S ROLE IS BEING RESEARCHED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES?

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how are being researched the role of managers in the process of developing Dynamic Capabilities in articles published internationally. It was made a Systematic Literature Review of the articles available in the largest international repository of academic papers in the field of Business, the Web of Science. Through a search and filtering process, several scientific works were identified, which underwent a thorough reading and analysis procedure, enabling the understanding of the purpose of the works, their nature, research strategies, methods and other relevant information. It was found that there are few articles that address the role of the manager in the literature on Dynamic Capabilities. After the proposal of the Dynamic Managerial Capabilities and its attributes, by Adner & Helfat (2003), new researches were developed, however, until 2019 it was not possible to observe studies that really deepened the construct. This work contributes to the academic field by condensing information relevant to research on Dynamic Capabilities and, more broadly, on Organizational Strategy, in addition to allowing the creation of an agenda for future research. In practical terms, through the identification of empirical works that become references to be applied in the field, it allows the development of organizational strategies aligned with the perspectives of Dynamic Capabilities.
