Abstract: This study evaluates the relationship between knowledge management (KM) and dynamic capabilities. This goal stems from a lack of research regarding the impact of KM on strategic organisational aspects, particularly in firms from emerging economies. Theoretically, the link between KM and dynamic capabilities (DC) is based on the knowledge-based view of the firm (KBV). This posits that knowledge, when appropriately managed, is the main source of strategic renewal for organisations. As such, hypotheses about the relationship between KM and the dimensions of DC were both formulated and tested, in 93 knowledge-intensive organisations in Colombia, using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that KM has a significant impact on dynamic capability dimensions. For practitioners, this study sheds light on the relevance of the implementation of KM initiatives, in order to activate DC in organisations.
