Abstract: Abstract For dealing with the complexity and dynamics inherited in dynamic capabilities area, we try to introduce the agent-based simulation method into our study. By taking operating routines as basic units of analysis, a micro- interpretation of dynamic capabilities is given from the routine-based perspective. The relationships among operating routines, dynamic capabilities as well as organizational learning mechanisms – including both internal innovation and external imitation activities are discussed in detail. And an agent-based simulation model is provided via Swarm package. The results show that: agent-based simulation can be used as one of effective tools in coping with dynamic capabilities problems.
