Resumen

Objetivo: Si bien existe un interés creciente en los estudios sobre gestión intermedia (MG) dentro del alcance de la estrategia y las organizaciones, queda poca investigación que explore la perspectiva de las capacidades dinámicas (DC) bajo la lente de las microprácticas de los agentes.

Metodología: La estrategia de investigación empleada fue cualitativa. El método utilizado fue el estudio de casos múltiples, con la apropiación de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas con profesionales de nivel medio.

Originalidad: Este documento enfatiza de manera innovadora la importancia y la influencia de la gerencia media en el desarrollo de las tres dimensiones de capacidades dinámicas. Esto se hace enfatizando las funciones de MG a través de microprácticas, relacionándolas empíricamente con las dimensiones DC.

Resultados: Los resultados demuestran que la gerencia media actúa de manera equilibrada en la formación, el desarrollo y la modificación de las tres dimensiones de capacidades dinámicas. Una segunda conclusión es que de las cinco funciones gerenciales enfatizadas en el estudio, la gerencia media parece jugar un papel más importante en la micropráctica de sintetizar información.

Contribuciones teóricas: Los resultados contribuyen al avance de la literatura en el área de la estrategia y las capacidades dinámicas, particularmente al llamar la atención sobre el papel crítico desempeñado por la gerencia media en el desarrollo de los DC, un aspecto predominantemente investigado en la literatura desde la perspectiva de la alta gerencia.
