TY - CHAP A1 - Linnemann, Kerstin T1 - Exploring the Role of Dynamic Capabilities in the Process of Resource Recombination in Firms T2 - Proceedings of the 13th International CINet Conference "Continuous Innovation Across Boundaries" N2 - This paper investigates the role of Dynamic Capabilities (DCs) in the process of Resource Recombination (RR) and thereby elaborates the framework conditions for the recombination of resources in firms from the dynamic capability perspective. Investigating the role of a specific set of DCs in the process of RR, this research addresses some existing shortcomings in the dynamic capability literature, where there is a crucial need to better understand the inter-relationship between capabilities, the resource base of the firm, and innovation in the form of RRs. Addressing this issue, this paper contributes to the resource and competence based research by presenting a conceptual model of the factors influencing RR in firms. The findings suggest that regarding their role and effects towards RR in firms two different types of DCs can be distinguished: Potential Building and Value Realizing DCs.
