Resources and dynamic capabilities as pillars of sustainability in the social economy

The relevance of resources and dynamic capabilities in social economy organizations is fundamental for promoting their sustainability in an environment characterized by volatility and uncertainty. This paper presents a theoretical and critical analysis of how these organizations, dedicated to generating economic and social benefits, can integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competencies to effectively respond to contextual changes. The research highlights the necessity of a macro analysis of the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal contexts as a basis for successful social intervention. The interrelations between perception, apprehension, transformation, and strategic integration are explored, emphasizing that the effectiveness of these organizations lies in their ability to continuously adapt their resources and capabilities. It concludes that the effective application of dynamic capabilities is crucial for strategic formulation and viability over the long-term, promoting a holistic management approach that values innovation, continuous learning, and collaboration.
