Abstract

Dynamic capabilities and innovation performance, which are among the important concepts for firms to maintain their competitive advantage and increase their innovative capacity, are increasingly studied in the management and organisation literature. This study analyses the research trends of these concepts in this area using a bibliometric method. A total of 311 articles published between 2006 and 2025 were analysed by searching the Web of Science database using the keywords "dynamic capabilities" and "innovation performance". The bibliometric analysis identified the number of publications, citation ratios, most influential authors, journals and countries. The results show that academic interest in dynamic capabilities and innovation performance has grown rapidly, especially after 2015. China, Germany and Spain stand out among the top publishing countries, while Strategic Management Journal and Journal of Business Research are among the most influential journals. The study used the RStudio-based program Biblioshiny to create data visualisations, identify research trends in the field and potential future areas of study. Key Words: Dynamic Capabilities, Innovation Performance, Bibliometric Analysis, Web of Science, Management and Business JEL Classification: M10, L20, L25

Özet

İşletmelerin rekabet avantajını sürdürebilmesi ve yenilikçi kapasitesini artırabilmesi için önemli kavramlar arasında bulunan dinamik yetenekler ve inovasyon performansı yönetim ve organizasyon literatüründe giderek daha fazla incelenmektedir. Bu araştırma, söz konusu alandaki söz konusu kavramların araştırma eğilimlerini bibliyometrik yöntemle analiz etmektedir. Web of Science veri tabanında "dynamic capabilities" ve "innovation performance" anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak yapılan tarama sonucunda, 2006-2025 yılları arasında yayımlanmış toplam 311 makale incelenmiştir. Yapılan bibliyometrik analizle yayın sayıları, atıf ilişkileri, en etkili yazarlar, dergiler ve ülkeler belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, dinamik yetenekler ve inovasyon performansı konularına yönelik akademik ilginin özellikle 2015 sonrasında hızlı bir şekilde arttığını göstermektedir. En çok yayın yapan ülkeler arasında Çin, Almanya ve İspanya öne çıkarken, en etkili dergiler arasında Strategic Management Journal ve Journal of Business Research yer almaktadır. Çalışmada RStudio tabanlı Biblioshiny programı kullanılarak veri görselleştirmeleri yapılmış, alandaki araştırma eğilimleri ve geleceğe yönelik potansiyel çalışma alanları belirlenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Dinamik Yetenekler, İnovasyon Performansı, Bibliyometrik Analiz, Web of Science, Yönetim ve İşletme JEL Sınıflandırması: M10, L20, L25
