Objective of the study: This study aims to contribute to understanding sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) activities (Operational Optimization -OO, Organizational Transformation- OT, and Systems Building SB) in the context of collaborative networks (CNs) and Dynamic Capabilities (DCs), proposing a conceptual framework.
Methodology/approach: We adopted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and identified 198 relevant papers. The papers were analyzed through quantitative and qualitative techniques as well as network analyses.
Originality/Relevance: This paper explores DCss, enablers of DCss, and SOI activities on collaborative networks, relating each DCs to these activities through a conceptual framework.
Main results: Organizations need to develop DCs to promote SOI activities. The conceptual framework mainly emphasizes, from the perspective of SOI activities, the need to carry out system-building activities (SB), such as creating platforms for collaborative processes, generating co-created value, circular economy actions, and others.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: Contribute to explaining the intersection of SOIs and collaborative networks by incorporating the DCs perspective as a necessary element for the development of SOI activities. We also expand the literature on SOI by identifying enablers that are specific to DCs to foster SOI activities when companies are inserted in collaborative networks by proposing a conceptual framework.
Social /management contributions: The framework is a support tool for managers since it provides guidelines on which DCs can be developed and/or improved in the context of collaborative networks to develop SOI activities. The framework also guides managers regarding which enablers organizations and their partners need to focus on to improve/develop specific DCs.
