Impact of Dynamic Capabilities on Business Performance in Public Universities

Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the incidence of the dynamic capacities of absorption, learning, innovation and adaptation in the business performance of a public university in Colombia. To this end, a quantitative methodology with qualitative complementarity was used, framed in a descriptive-correlational design of a cross-sectional and non-experimental type. In the results, the scale or rating scale technique was applied, which facilitated statistical analysis with non-parametric tests, specifically using the Rho Spearman correlation coefficient. The findings showed a significant relationship between prioritized dynamic capabilities and business performance. In addition, the quantitative results were complemented with a qualitative analysis based on a similarity matrix and the Jaccard coefficient. It is concluded that there is a moderate positive correlation between dynamic capabilities and business performance. Likewise, opportunities for improvement in management and strategic planning were identified, which suggests the need to strengthen key skills to enhance institutional competitiveness.
