The objective of this essay of a theoretical-descriptive nature is to offer a review of the most outstanding contributions made by David Teece and his collaborators to the development and expansion of the theory of dynamic capabilities during the period 1994-2020. The analysis was based on the main scientific articles that chronologically represent the development, evolution, and consolidation of one of the theories that explain the behavior of organizations in the face of increasingly dynamic and changing environments, namely the theory of dynamic capabilities. It is thus considered evolution and integration of the contingent and resource and capabilities theories. From the review carried out, it can be argued that organizations require strong capabilities to detect, take advantage of and transform knowledge, resources, and internal competencies in order to obtain competitive advantages, but always considering the opportunities, changes, and requirements of the environment. This work also provides the basis for distinguishing and recognizing that dynamic capabilities require leadership and innovation as essential components for their development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dynamic capacities allow us to understand the key role of the strategic management of organizations to reconfigure their skills, resources and competencies based on a changing environment. They are considered as a multidimensional construct that is expressed through various elements. In this sense, this descriptive essay aims to link leadership as one of its main components. The analysis was carried out from various scientific articles on the subject in order to present the perspective of the consulted authors. The findings allow us to affirm that leadership is a skill that companies require to coordinate, combine and transform resources in order to achieve competitive advantages. These elements reinforce the idea that dynamic capabilities require the creativity, entrepreneurial attitude and leadership of company managers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Leadership styles of managers from two different types of organizations of the economic sectors in Puerto Rico were investigated, taking into consideration gender as a variable. The total sample of two hundred (200) managers was from the service sector (100) and from the manufacturing (100) economic sector. In terms of gender, 88 of the participants were women (44%) and 112 were men (56%). When compared transformational, transactional, directive, participative, considerate, orientated to goal and laissez faire leadership styles, women showed a greater average in the use of the directive leadership style, in comparison to men. When gender was considered in relation to leadership behavior, women were observed to be more task-oriented than men. No significant gender differences were found in motivation toward leadership. These results are discussed in terms of their impact upon the theme of organizational leadership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This case outlines the history of the Asociación Chilena de Seguridad (ACHS), a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of work-related accidents and illnesses. ACHS is part of the Chilean system of «workers insurance organizations,» known generically as mutuales. By law these organizations may not be administered directly or indirectly by any for-profit company. At the end of 2003, ACHS administered 7 hospitals, 27 clinics, and 70 medical centers throughout Chile. However, due to efficiency in accident prevention and advancements in medical treatment, hospital infrastructure far exceeded demand. To deal with this problem ACHS is reviewing a possible alliance with one of its competitors. The case focuses on this dilemma, along with the pending succession of the organization's president for 45 years. The case illustrates the delicate balance between pursuing financial goals and remaining loyal to the organization's mission. Teaching Purpose: To sharpen strategic analysis skills, examine the importance of balancing financial goals and mission attainment when managing a non-profit organization, and raise awareness regarding the need to plan for leadership succession.
