Abstract

The current research was conducted with the aim of presenting a model of dynamic capabilities for the development of the innovation ecosystem. The research method was fundamental in terms of objective and in terms of data collection, it was mixed exploratory, using inductive-deductive approach. The data were analyzed in the qualitative stage, using thematic analysis, and in the quantitative stage, with the combined technique of Dimtel-ANP. The participants in the qualitative and quantitative part were 12 managers and entrepreneurs of knowledge-based companies active in the field of export in Semnan province, who were selected through a purposeful-judgmental process.The model of dynamic capabilities for the development of the innovation ecosystem was categorized during the coding process in the theme analysis with Maxqda software. Then, a model was presented with the fuzzy Dimetal technique of themes, and finally, the indicators were prioritized by the fuzzy ANP technique. The results of the research indicate four core codes of dynamic capability in products, dynamic organization in ecosystem, dynamic capability in management and dynamic capability in technology. Moreover, the components of dynamic capabilities in products and technology are considered the most important and influential, and dynamic capabilities in management and dynamic organization are considered the most effective dynamic capabilities in the ecosystem.
