International Journal of Economics & Business Administration (IJEBA), 2025, vol. XIII, issue 2, 144-170

Abstract: Purpose: This study aimed at conducting a comprehensive bibliometric examination on dynamic capabilities and organizational competitiveness exploring their evolution, trends and impact from 1997 to 2025. Design/Methodology/Approach: A total sample of 3093 articles was obtained from Scopus and Web of Science databases through a structured methodological approach. The study used tools like VOSviewer and Bibliometix in R to apply citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, keyword co-occurrence, performance analysis and trend analysis. Findings: Findings reveal increasing scholarly interest, dominant contributions from the USA, China, and the UK, and underrepresentation from African and Middle Eastern regions. The study identifies thematic clusters, emerging topics like resilience and eco-innovation, and highlights various gaps including sustainability and digital transformation integration. Practical Implications: This research is unique in combining dynamic capabilities with organizational competitiveness while using dual databases, offering fresh insights for future research. Originality value: There is a growing interest in dynamic capabilities research driven by the need for adaptation and attaining competitive advantage amidst turbulent business landscapes.
