Towards sustainable development goals : lessons learned from the interplay between organizational capacity and capabilities

Abstract EN

This paper analyzes different features supporting the dynamic capabilities building towards Sustainable Development Goals by examining the interplay between organizational capacity and capabilities.

To do this, we applied the case study approach by conducting five divergent case studies from government, institutional, and organizational levels.

The analysis of the five explored cases revealed that organizations had developed new capacities to change and adapt in an evolving and disturbing environment by integrating organizational capabilities through three categories: (1) the ability to carry out the primary organization' functional activities, (2) learning capabilities, and (3) dynamic organizational improvements.

The case studies' results extend the literature by raising a conceptual framework of the principal dynamic capabilities dimensions for Sustainable Development Goals across the Task-Technology fit model.
