Area of Science:
- Business and Management
- Organizational Studies
Background:
- Maintaining competitiveness requires understanding factors influencing organizational performance.
- Dynamic capabilities and strategic behavior are critical elements in this context.
Purpose of the Study:

- To identify theoretical, methodological, and empirical connections between these constructs.
Main Methods:
- A three-stage SLR protocol (planning, conduct, knowledge development) was employed.
- Analysis included 118 articles published between 2006 and 2021.
- Keyword analysis identified three main classes: 'Knowledge Management,' 'Measurement Instrument,' and 'Organizational Environment.'
Main Results:
- A strong theoretical, methodological, and empirical link exists between dynamic capabilities, strategic behavior, and organizational performance.
- A significant connection was found between dynamic capabilities and competitive intensity.
- Dynamic capabilities influence strategic behavior and, consequently, organizational performance.
Conclusions:

- These capabilities act as institutional factors that shape strategic behavior.
- The study provides directions for future research in this domain.
