Dynamic Routines and Capabilities : How Does Creativity Fit in ?

نویسنده

  • Geneviève Schlink
چکیده

In the knowledge-based theory of the firm, the ability to create new knowledge is seen as the most important source of a firm’s sustainable competitive advantage. Knowledge creation is explained through concepts of dynamic routines and dynamic capabilities. In the evolutionary framework dynamic routines correspond to search routines and in the dynamic capability literature dynamic capabilities are relatively simple rules that organizations follow. These different approaches identify accumulated knowledge as the main explanation factor for innovation. The discussion about the characteristics of creativity questions these different assumptions and suggests that creativity and its related routines need to be considered in order to understand and favor the knowledge creation and innovation process.
