On the contingent value of dynamic capabilities for competitive advantage: The nonlinear moderating effect of environmental dynamism

Open access
Schilke, Oliver·2014·Strategic Management Journal

Abstract

This article suggests that dynamic capabilities can give the firm competitive advantage, but this effect is contingent on the level of dynamism of the firm's external environment. A nonlinear, inverse U ‐shaped moderation is proposed, implying that the relationship between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage is strongest under intermediate levels of dynamism but comparatively weaker when dynamism is low or high. This proposition is tested using data on alliance management capability and new product development capability, two specific dynamic capabilities widely recognized in prior research. Results based on longitudinal key informant data from 279 firms support the account that these dynamic capabilities are more strongly associated with competitive advantage in moderately dynamic than in stable or highly dynamic environments .

    Superior firm performance relative to rivals is a valid empirical indicator of competitive advantage.

    “Consistent with this conceptualization, superior firm performance relative to rivals commonly serves as an empirical indicator of competitive advantage.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    In highly dynamic environments, product lifecycles tend to be comparatively short and technological paradigm shifts relatively frequent.

    “In highly dynamic environments, on the other hand, product lifecycles tend to be comparatively short and technological paradigm shifts relatively frequent.”

    The chemicals, machinery, and motor vehicle industries provide a wide variance in environmental dynamism.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Discussion reverses the stated moderation shape

    Minor

    The discussion calls the proposed moderation U-shaped, while the paper repeatedly describes and tests an inverse U-shaped moderation. Those shapes have opposite implications for where the capability effect is strongest.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
