Exploring Meso-Level Dynamic Capabilities to Address the Capability Rigidity Paradox

<p>In this book Florian Andresen aims to unpack the “capability rigidity paradox” within the dynamic&nbsp;capability view. Consequently, he tackles one of the core challenges in strategic&nbsp;management of the past decades. Providing a novel and thorough literature review on&nbsp;dynamic capabilities from the point of this paradox, the author discusses the current state of&nbsp;the literature to derive the core shortcomings meticulously. A case study of capability&nbsp;evolution in the German Armed Forces is interpreted against the backdrop of a strategy as&nbsp;process and practice lens, thus, allowing to propose the concept of meso‐level dynamic&nbsp;capabilities without falling prey to the capability rigidity paradox.</p>
