Abstract

The concept of dynamic capabilities has gained centrality in organizational studies, especially in contexts of technological, environmental and institutional transformation. Such capabilities allow organizations to reconfigure their competencies in response to rapid and unpredictable changes in the external environment. In view of the above, this study aims to analyze dynamic capabilities as a strategic vector for organizational innovation, through an integrative literature review. The methodology adopted consisted of an integrative review based on publications indexed between 2020 and 2025 in Google Scholar, with content analysis structured in emerging categories. The results revealed four main categories: innovation in turbulent environments; ambidexterity in the public sector; sustainable entrepreneurship; and reconfiguration of business models. Evidence indicates the centrality of dynamic capabilities across multiple sectors and strategies. It is concluded that dynamic capacities constitute an expanding field, but still marked by conceptual and operational challenges, requiring methodological and intersectoral deepening.
