Palabras clave: capacidades dinámicas, absorción, aprendizaje e innovación, universidades, ventaja competitiva

Resumen

El concepto de Capacidades Dinámicas (CD) destaca la habilidad de una organización para integrar, construir y reconfigurar interna y externamente sus competencias, crucial para que las universidades se adapten y prosperen en mercados globalizados y tecnológicamente avanzados. Centrándose en la absorción, adaptación, aprendizaje e innovación, estas capacidades son esenciales para que las instituciones educativas superiores mantengan su competitividad, respondiendo y anticipándose efectivamente a los cambios y desafíos. Este estudio realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura en Scopus®, analizando inicialmente 49 documentos para comprender la evolución de la producción académica sobre las CD, seguido de otros 28 enfocados específicamente en el contexto universitario. A través de VOSviewer® para la visualización y análisis de datos, se identificó un creciente interés en cómo las universidades pueden desarrollar estas capacidades para destacarse en un ambiente competitivo. La metodología se basó en el método PRISMA, incluyendo un análisis bibliométrico y una revisión sistemática. Los resultados subrayan la importancia de una cultura de innovación y aprendizaje continuo para establecer una ventaja competitiva sostenible en la educación superior, señalando caminos para futuras investigaciones y estrategias organizacionales.
