Abstract

This paper examines the impact of technological investments and technological acquisition strategies on the development of dynamic technological capabilities (DTC) at firm level in the context of the Chinese telecommunication sector. We disaggregate DTC into four types (product, process, organisation, investment) across three levels (basic, intermediate, advanced). We investigate a set of 53 firms over six years and find that all types of investments influence DTC building, although differently depending on the type and level of DTC. Our findings show the benefit of using a finer level of granularity in analysing DCT to understand their development over time.
