Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Dynamic Capabilities and Strategic Management
David J. Teece · 2009
76/100
👍 Worth It
Teece's foundational work on dynamic capabilities is the real thing — a scholarly text that genuinely shaped how business schools and strategy consultants think about competitive advantage. It's dense, sometimes circular in its definitions, and not written for the casual reader, but for MBA students and researchers it belongs on the shelf. If you're serious about organizational theory, this is essential reading; if you're looking for a practical how-to, look elsewhere.
