The Evolution of Dynamic Capabilities in OM

Abstract

The dynamic capability view (DCV) has gained attraction in many areas of business administration. This article aims to analyze the evolution of the dynamic capability view (DCV) theory within the operations and supply chain field. In this article, we use author co-citation, term co-occurrence, and topic modeling techniques to uncover the evolution of DCV in operations and supply chain management areas. The analysis was performed on 166 peer-reviewed articles from the top four operations management (OM) journals. The study finds the prominent authors co-cited together along with the representative topics in these papers. Furthermore, newer topics, such as supply chain resilience and dynamic-based capabilities, such as data analytics capabilities, are gaining prominence. Finally, the future research agenda is discussed along with the limitations of the paper.
