Abstract

The clothing sector is part of the complex and dynamic fashion market, marked by globalization and the growth of competitiveness. In this context, it is important to study the dynamic capabilities theme, which aims to explain how companies manage to achieve and sustain competitive advantages even in highly dynamic and constantly changing environments. Based on this, the present research - characterized as a unique case study, with a qualitative and descriptive approach - investigated the mechanisms and instruments for the development of the dynamic capacities of an apparel company, based on the model of Wang and Ahmed (2007) who analyzes them from the set of adaptive, absorbing and innovative capacities. It is observed in the case studied that for the development of dynamic capacities there is the articulation between search and innovation behaviors and abilities, between routines and search and innovation processes and between learning mechanisms and knowledge governance.

Keywords: Dynamic capabilities. Apparel sector. Absorptive capacity. Adaptive capacity. Innovative capacity.
