| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 經營管理碩士班(企業管理與服務科學學程) === 100 === By building on an emerging theoretical engagement with the resource-based view and the perspective of path dependencies, this research explores the potentials of theoretical view on the model of capability trajectory of the firm. It proposes that when firms have intentions to develope new business, they will meet the gaps in developing firm capabilities. In theoretical development, these gaps may be differentiated by the developments of products and markets. A major concern of the developmental gap in the field is that the conventional perspective of path dependencies might lack comprehensive understanding to explain how a firm changes its developmental path in order to gain superior performance.
This research conducts qualitative analysis with in-depth interview. The interview was conducted by interviewing two experts for revising questions of the interview and three senior managers in different industries for building up a theoretical model for how firms develop their capabilities. The present analysis identifies that accumulation of resources affects the development of business capabilities, especially when businesses have intentions to develop in multiple scopes in either products or markets. The major findings have revealed that firm development in a relative domain (either products or markets) causes a relatively small gap of capability developmental. On the contrary, a relatively big gap of capability developmental may exist when firms tend to change their developmental pathes.
