Abstract: Abstract This paper explores the evolution of innovative organizational capabilities. Using a longitudinal, embedded case study, we analyze how the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a Taiwan-based public research institute, developed and advanced its capability over time through a series of technology development projects from the 1970s to the early 2010s. Our study reveals that capability development is linked to the way organizations exploit and utilize their capabilities and continually renew, develop, and transform their capability paths by exploring and interacting with new technology.
