Abstract:

This study examines the influence of dynamic capabilities on competitive advantage in the manufacturing sector using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Dynamic capabilities, which include sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring systems, are widely acknowledged as essential factors influencing company success in swiftly evolving contexts.
The study analyzes data from manufacturing organizations to assess the impact of these characteristics on organizational adaptability, innovation, and sustained competitiveness. The empirical research confirms the structural links between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage, indicating that firms with robust capability development procedures exhibit greater resilience, enhanced operational efficiency, and sustainable market positioning.
