The place of entrepreneurship in “The Economics that Might Have Been”
It is a familiar observation that entrepreneurship is not easily accommodated within the framework of neoclassical economic theory. Drawing inspiration from an ancient critique of neoclassicism by Veblen (Q J Econ 12(4):373–397, 1898), this paper attributes the difficulty to the tension between normative accounts of decision making (as in mainstream theory) and ideas of causation that are standard in the sciences. Normative theories naturally pri…

Untangling Dynamic and Operational Capabilities: Strategy for the (N)ever‐Changing World
We explain why the line between dynamic and operational (or ordinary) capabilities is unavoidably blurry, draw implications for capabilities that promote economically important but seemingly gradual change, and provide recommendations for future research that takes these issues into account. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Understanding dynamic capabilities
Defining ordinary or ‘zero‐level’ capabilities as those that permit a firm to ‘make a living’ in the short term, one can define dynamic capabilities as those that operate to extend, modify or create ordinary capabilities. Logically, one can then proceed to elaborate a hierarchy of higher‐order capabilities. However, it is argued here that the strategic substance of capabilities involves patterning of activity, and that costly investments are typi…
Interpretation evolutionniste du changement economique: Une etude comparative
Interprétation évolutionniste du changement économique: Une étude comparative
Cet article tente, d’une part, d’identifier les éléments de base qui forment la théorie évolutionniste en économie et, d’autre part, d’offrir une évaluation comparative des différentes approches au sein de cette littérature. Il s’efforce de dresser un tableau présentant les principaux résultats auxquels conduisent les approches qui fournissent des explications évolutionnistes aux phénomènes économiques, puis de mettre en évidence les points commu…
Deliberate Learning and the Evolution of Dynamic Capabilities
This paper investigates the mechanisms through which organizations develop dynamic capabilities, defined as routinized activities directed to the development and adaptation of operating routines. It addresses the role of (1) experience accumulation, (2) knowledge articulation, and (3) knowledge codification processes in the evolution of dynamic, as well as operational, routines. The argument is made that dynamic capabilities are shaped by the coe…
Evolutionary Theorizing in Economics
This paper reviews the case for an evolutionary approach to problems of economic analysis, ranging from the details of individual firm behavior in the short run through industrial dynamics to the historical evolution of institutions and technologies. We draw upon a substantial body of recent research contributions. We characterize micro behavior as governed by skills and routines that are shaped by learning and selection. We then consider major a…
