Résumé
Organisations are involved in a continuous process of change in order to renew capabilities and achieve a competitive advantage in a hypercompetitive setting. This paper proposes a model for the creation of dynamic capabilities and studies the complementary role of Information Technology Capabilities in supporting this creation process: 1) Identifying the firm's repertory of capabilities (over time and space); 2) maintaining a capabilities catalogue; and, 3) assisting the transformation of existing capabilities and internal transfer of new synthesised capabilities throughout the organisation.
