Abstract: Dynamic capabilities allow firms to adapt to rapidly changing environments, such as digital business ecosystems (DBEs) based on emerging technologies. Here, non-focal firms face specific challenges, since they have little leverage over the ecosystems in which they operate. In the case of the metaverse – which can be conceptualised as a series of emerging-technology-based DBEs – dynamic sensing capabilities (DSCs) are particularly important for grasping this potentially vast albeit vague opportunity.
