The Role of Dynamic Capabilities in Digital Transformation: Reconstructing Competitive Advantage in Uncertain Environments

Abstract

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, digital transformation (DT) has changed from a strategic choice to a necessity for survival. However, many enterprises are still trying to transform their technology investment into sustainable performance improvement. This study explores how dynamic capabilities (DC) can help organizations cope with continuous digital change and maintain competitive advantage in an uncertain environment. From the perspective of DC, we have constructed a conceptual framework to link the process of perception, grasp and reconstruction with the results of digital transformation. Recent research and evidence at the enterprise level show that the success of digital programs depends not only on the adoption of advanced technologies, but also on how management processes integrate these dynamic capabilities into daily practice. This paper believes that these capabilities can enhance the resilience of organizations, enhance strategic response ability and ensure long-term competitiveness, so as to deepen the integration between dynamic capabilities and digital transformation literature.
