Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
This work offers an overview of recent formalizations of
organizational capabilities and learning. We first present the main
characteristics both of NK models and of the approach based on
Classifier Systems, focusing on their early applications to
organization studies. We then discuss how the use of these models has
contributed, in the recent years, to the formal analysis of the
development and change of firm’s dynamic capabilities by improving our
understanding of processes of organizational learning and adaptation,
and of the relationship between cognitive and governance issues.
