Abstract
This article introduces the concept of the capability lifecycle (CLC),
which articulates general patterns and paths in the evolution of
organizational capabilities over time. The capability lifecycle provides
a structure for a more comprehensive approach to dynamic resource-based
theory. The analysis incorporates the founding, development, and
maturity of capabilities in a manner that helps to explain the sources
of heterogeneity in organizational capabilities. In addition, the
analysis includes the ‘branching’ of an original capability into
several possible altered forms. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons,
