Exploring the Nature of Capability Research
Triggered by the progressive change from an industrial to an digital information society, not only social but also economic conditions are modified. Fast shifting business models and ever shorter product lifecycles are just few reasons why modern enterprises need a strategy how to deal with those unpredictable changes in order to stay competitive. Therefore, the concept of capability driven management gets more and more attention by executives and scientists. In the last decade IS and management journals as well as conferences were publishing an increasing number of capability related articles, but a common understanding corresponding the identification of capabilities, their management, types or elements seems to be not existing. This work encapsulates the body of capability literature to provide an overview about capability research investigations over the last 15 years.
