”Dynamic capabilitiesWe define dynamic capabilities as the firm’s ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments. Dynamic capabilities thus reflect an organization’s ability to achieve new and innovative forms of competitive advantage given path dependencies and market positions(Leonard-Barton, 1992).”

(From Strategic Management Journal, Vol. 18:7, 509–533 (1997) Dynamic capabilities and strategic management by David J. Teece, Gary Pisano and Amy Shuen p. 516)
