Dynamic Capabilities Scale

Dynamic Capabilities (DC) represent an organization's capacity to sense new opportunities and threats, seize those opportunities through strategic investments and organizational changes, and reconfigure assets and organizational structures to adapt to shifting competitive environments. Teece (2007) articulated this framework in the Strategic Management Journal, arguing that dynamic capabilities—not static resources—explain sustained competitive advantage in turbulent, knowledge-intensive markets. This scale operationalizes the three core processes underlying DC: sensing market and technology changes, making swift strategic decisions, and reorganizing the firm to exploit new opportunities.
